most of the ships carrying the bigger intermediate-range rockets turned away from their Cuban destination when the United States let the world know of its firm determination for a showdown One at the Mggeat cargoes of this type was believed to have been aboard the merchant ship Poltava which headed away before reaching the United States naval quarantine line The plan apparently was to emplace for

attempt by the United States to keep control of the weapons systems tat the hands of reliable Soviet military and out of the hands of the unpredictable Fidel Castro One opinion here is that although

by theoreticians for Russia moving medium and intermediate range missiles into Cuba was that the Soviets realized they were outnumbered in long-range Intercontinental and that the United States knew this for a certainty The deployment of the ballistic weapons into Red Cuba waa to seek at feast partial balance of rocket power according to this theory Now that the showdown has driven the United
