McElroy, arriving in Honolulu today, said it would not be surprising if the Russians had fired missiles into the Pacific ocean northwest of Hawaii. He said it's clear the Russians have been firing long-range missiles for some time and, since their land test range is only 3,500 miles long, they would want, to extend this range over the ocean just as the -United States has done. However, McElroy said he had "no personal comment" about Brooks's report.

However, no one had denied today that the Soviets are capable of hurling rockets into the Pacific. (Military sources queried on Oahu said they have not heard of such a Russian feat.
