Give U.S. Extra Punch

WASHINGTON (‘AP)- Recent

deployment of two Polaris mis-

-Bile-firing... submarines... in Asian waters enabled the U.S. Navy to concentrate al! three of its Far Eastern aircraft carriers for air strikes against Communist North Viet Nam Sunday.

This points up the new flexi- bility that the presence of the

Polaris subs, with their 2,875 - mile-range missiles, has given the U.S. fleet, spread out in the

“geas-off the Asian mainiand. -

The submarine Daniel Boone went on patrol immediately af- ter Christmas, the “Tecumseh last month. Eventually the United States will have seven Polaris subs prowling Far East- ern waters.

Developments Described As ‘Very Disturbing’

OTTAWA ‘CP)—fFxternal Af- fairs Minister Martin said Mon- day development in Viet Nam in the last few months are “very disturbing,” but the situ- ation was caused by aggressive policies of the Hanoi ‘North Viet Nam) government

Mr. Martin issued a statement Monday night in connection with the weekend American air strikes against targets in Com- munist North Viet Nam. The U.S. said the action was in re- taliation to recent raids by Communist Viet Cong forces against Americans in South Viet Nam

Canada has been informed of U.S. views by a letter sent to the president of the United Na- tions Security Council by the U.S. representative, Mr. Martin said, and “it is gratifying that spokesmen for the U.S.. govern~ ment have reiterated assuran- ces the U.S. seeks no wider war fn Viet Nam
