2 which could find certain clt;y in the world. It's rulte a tent to boost two satellites into outer space, but that hasn’t too muon to do with accuracy. Accuracy is what I am question- ing. ive rfm’t know for sure whether the Russians really have an intercontinental missile or not, hut I am fairly sure that if they have got one, it isn't nearly as accurate as they say it is. I think Russ1a is just trying to scare the free world into staying out of her way and her business. If Russi° has such a missile so much for them, but boasting of such a missile without it, will get them quite a way in the propaganda line. By just saying they have such a missile, the free countries bordering and around the Iron-Curtain get panic strlken. If the Russians have an intercontinental missile, how can they be so sure they can 6trike any city they vrant with it. After all, they haven't ever tried the thing out. Russian bosses say that if there was another war intercontinental bomb- ers would be worthless. If this is true why don't they get rid of their big jet bombers of which they have so many. The nussian leaders think that if they can convince the countries aroun.v the Iron-Curtain that they could beat the free-world in a third world war, some f the countries might be made t sink behind the Iron- Curtain. Although the Russians have launched two satellites into uter space, I dcubt if they received much information from them. me Sputnik 1 ked like a o nvincer t a big scare pro- gram that they have cooked up. A lot of people think that if the Russians can send up earth satellites it could be that they have interc ntinental missiles. This is just what the Russian bosses want, for they figure that if they can scare the people they will get their way much easier. I doubt it if the Russians will try anything as 1 ng as the fi'ee-w rid sticks together. Let's cooperate, do -ur bit and not get frightened.
