Officer Says Timing Correct For Blockade
A reserve officer in the U.S. Army Intelligence said yesterday that President Kennedy's move to blockade Cuba "was the best move that could have been made at the time."
Robert Nunley, visiting professor of geography, said the move would have been wrong had it come a month later or a month earlier.
Prof. Nunley said things are in "too much of a flux" to tell for sure what the Russians would do if the United States had to sink one of their ships.
"IF WE HAD acted a month earlier, we would not have had 'vital provocation' and we would have isolated friendly Latin American nations from our camp," he said.
But he said he thought the Russians would probably use it for propaganda purposes and might sink a U.S. ship in retaliation.
"I DON'T THINK there is any direct connection," he answered. "Moscow is probably embarrassed by the Chinese action. Russia has good relations with Peking and I don't think they want to destroy them."
"If we would have waited another month it would have been too late," he added.
Prof. Nunley was asked whether he thought there is any connection between the Cuban crisis and the war in India.
Prof. Nunley said the Russians were counting on the U.S. political campaign to divert us and were surprised when President Kennedy put a "guarantine" on Cuba.
Prof. Nunley was an intelligence analyst in the Caribbean area from 1953 to 1955.
