May Washington up air Force Secretary Harold brow has put his Finger on a Central and troublesome Issue in the nuclear arms race the motives of the nations a Little publicized speech in los Angeles Brown said the United states cannot be sure whether the soviet Union i building up its nuclear Arma ments in prudent self defense or to seek an exploitable imbalance possibly even the capability for a knockout first at the same time Brown acknowledged that Russia May wonder whether the unite states is building up its strategic weapons to protect its deter rent or to be Able to mount a successful first strike is this Mutual doubt which keeps the nuclear arms race go ing.

I response the United states is developing an air to ground mis Sile which would be fired from a bomber a Long Way from it target. If soviet air defences be come still heavier the unite states might build a new advanced bomber. The russians have started building an anti ballistic missile abm system. In response the United states in switching to multiple warhead missiles for greater penetration. The num Ber of these missiles to be deployed will depend on the extent of the soviet abm system i the russians build a massive abm setup the United statesman build a still More advanced russians have been building More missiles their numbers gradually approaching the size of the .

I. _ _ i n Ami ii l11c1 Pasadena Calif. A the year of the angry Sun lies just ahead when the next pea of the 11-year-Cycle of solar storms comes in 1969. These storms rippling Waves of nuclear explosions stretching thousands of Miles across the face of the Sun drive sudden bursts of deadly radiation Mil Lions of Miles out into space often a sheathing Earth. You will be Safe. Earth s veil of atmosphere will protect its inhabitants As it has through Ages past. But humans venturing beyond the veil As lunar astronauts Hope to do in 1969, could Fin themselves caught out in a hellish in their vehicles and suits should protect them fro Normal radiation but a major flare could mean serious is the danger that United states has set up a global solar flare patrol and space disturbance forecast Cen Ter to maintain a 24-hour watch on the Sun. These programs Monitor solar outbursts and is sue warnings to space Mission planners and the communications Industry. A number of scientists Are More worried about this than they like to admit says Thomas a. Cragg solar observer at Observatory. Bursts or radiation from flares can reach the Moon in As Little As 20 from time to time dark regions called sunspots appear on the surface some of them up to 60,000 Miles across. The number and size of Sun spots grow through each solar Cycle reaching a maximum every 11 years. Every few hours a great out burst of Energy called a solar flare occurs near one or More Sunspot groups. Regions thou Sands of Miles across will brighten in seconds and vast Clouds of matter erupt with speeds up to 600 Miles a second. A flare covering Only a thousandth of the Sun s surface will for a time give off More Light than All Theresa of the Sun.
