Pope's H-Bomb Views
Recalled by Stevenson

scending question before hui
mainly is whether there will be
any tomorrow at all.
No man aspiring to the preSi-
dency can dodge the issue OF
the hydrogen bomb. And 1 say
that no man holding the Office OF
the presidency can say that he
has spoken his last word on the
subject.
Indeed, the President has al
ready changed his mind on that
and says he will issue a written
statement. What this means,
suppose, is that some informa-
ton which has been withheld
for four years is now to be given
out to score points in a political
campaign.
But this hydrogen bomb dis
cussion is not a political contro-
versy. This is a matter of ma
tional security, yes, and also of
moral responsibility to our citi-
Eens and to our fellow inhabitants
OF the globe. In his Christmas
message last year. His Holiness,
Pope Plus, wildly described the
consequences of hydrogen war
Entire cities, even the largest
and the richest in art and history
wiped out; a pail of death over
the pulverized ruins, covering
countless victims with limbs
burned, twisted and scattered,
while others groan in death
agony. Meanwhile, the spectre
of the radioactive cloud hinders
the survivors from giving any
help, and inexorably advances
to snuff out any remaining life.
There will be no song of victory
only the incalculable weeping of
humanity which in desolation
will gaze upon the catastrophe
brought on by its own folly"
Explains Bomb Stand
These are the solemn words
OF the Pope. His views are
shared by many leaders. They
are backed by the cold proof of
scientists. 1t is for these rea-
sons that I proposed long before
this campaign that we take the
lead in curbing this CHASTITY
killer.
The only question, it seems to
me. is whether we can do so
without endangering our national
defense, because we must have a
defense establishment second to
none-until that day when our
enemies come to their senses and
agree upon enforceable safe
guards for disarmament.
Yet the hard scientific fact
seems to be that we can safely
stop hydrogen explosions with
out inspection because If Russia
or anyone else should violate
an agreement and explode a
big bomb we would Immediately
detect 1t.
So here is one place where we

poses Of peace. The manifest
evidence of this extend from
the beginning of this admins
tration to the present:
(a) My appeal to these specific
purposes as early as my address
of April 16, 1858;
(b) The offer of atoms for
peace" in December Of the same
year;
Co The appointment of a
special assistant for disarma-
ment, with Cabinet rank, to
develop and coordinate our
efforts toward disarmament;
I'D My offer at the meeting
OF the heads of state at Geneva,
in July Of 1855, for immediate
exchange Of military blueprints
between the United States and
the Soviet Union, and mutual
air inspection by the "open
skies" formula;
(e) Acceptance of the Soviet
proposal for ground-c o ntrol
teams If combined with air
inspection;
~ The approval this week
OF the statute to govern the
international atomic energy
with 81 nations participating in
Its peaceful purpose; and
(g) Our continuing, construc-
tive participation in the work
OF the U. N. Disarmament
Commission.
Facts such as these have given
substance and. validity to nv
statement before the United Ma
lions General Assembly on De-
cember 8, 1858:
THE United States pledges
before you-and therefore before
the world-its determination to
solve the fearful atomic dilemma
to devote its entire heart and
mind to find the way by which
the miraculous inventiveness of
man shall not be dedicated to his
death. but consecrated to his
life."
Safeguards indispensable
Two. The indispensable prin-
clple upon which we have in
sisted has been the securing of
effective safeguards and controls
IN any program of disarmament
Our readiness to begin disarma-
ment under such safeguards has
been affirmed repeatedly during
the past three and one half
years. At the Geneva meeting of
foreign ministers last autumn. it
: was specifically reaffirmed by the
Secretary of State, with particu-
, lar reference to nuclear weapons
and their testing.
j There is only one reason why
no safe agreement has been
effected to date: The refusal of
Itne soviet Union to accept any
dependable system of mutual
safeguards. In the past two years
alone. the Soviet Union has re-
iected no less than IA American
proposals on disarmament and
control of nuclear weapons.
Continue Building Strength
l Three. In the light of these
facts. our Government has kept
Ienlarging its stockpile of nu-
clear weapons, and has con-
Itinued its development and test
ing of the most advanced nu-
clear weapons. The power of
these weapons to deter aggression
and to guard world peace could
be lost if we failed to hold our
superiority in these weapons.
And the Importance of our
strength in this particular
weapons-fleld is sharply accented
by the unavoidable fact of our

WHITE HOUSE TEXT
Ban on H-Bomb Tests
Held Danger to Nation

'esident Eisenhower's statement
cies and actions regarding the
lear Weapons:
and quantity of our military
weapons command such respect
as to dissuade any other nation
from the temptation of agrees
sion.
Thus do we develop weapons,
not to wage war. but to prevent
war.
Only in the clear light Of this
greater truth can we properly
examine the lesser matter of the
testing of our nuclear weapons.
On this specific matter, last
week directed the appropriate
departments and agencies of our
Government to submit to me
summaries of all relevant facts
in their respective areas of re-
SponSibility. This record covers
the span Of the past II years
since the first atomic explosion
which occurred in q test in New
Mexico. 1t may be pertinent to
note that my direct personal
concern with these matters ex-
tends almost uninterruptedly
over these some eleven years
in my successive capacities as
Chief of Staff of the Army, adj
wiser to the Secretary of De-
tense. Supreme Commander AL
lied Powers Europe, and, since
1858, as your President and
Commander in Chief of the
Armed Forces.
This record of your Govern
ment's policies and actions-in-
sefar as it does not prejudice
national security-is herewith
made public. 1t encompasses
facts in the several areas of ma
tional defense, scientific develop
ment, and diplomatic conduct.
This record reflects, clearly
and consistently, the persistent,

can break out of the deadly wise
of the arms race-and at the
most important place of all.
I think we must make this
effort-in the name of human
Iity. And I don't think my OPP
Iponent. President Eisenhower,
should irritably close the door
to discussion or agreement on
Ia matter of such vast impor-
lance to mankind.
OF course, I support the Pres
ident in his response to Mar
shall Bulganin's attempt to in
tervene and divide Americans
during a political campaign. The
American political parties and
people will always stand firmly
together.
Regrets Presidents Position
Yet I regret that Mr.. Eisen-
hover has once more enabled
the Russians to present them
selves as apostles of peace. /
think the anxious world awaits
positive action in this field. If
the Russian offer is a fake. let
us call their bluff. If it is
genuine, so much the better.
Americas military strength is
the singh egreatest deterrent to
war and the first bastion of
freedom. 1t must not be weak
ened.
But Americas moral, intellec-
tual and industrial strength can
be more than deterrent. 1t can
lead the way to peace.
We must ask ourselves two
questions:
1. Will the peace and health of
the world be advanced if all ma
lions stop exploding hydrogen
weapons. The answer is yes.
2. Would such an agreement
weaken the relative military po-
sition of the United States? The
answer Is no.
We would be deprived of none
of our ability to retaliate. We
would continue to improve the
means of delivery. We would
continue to work on defense
against attack.
Atom Arsenal Noted
We would strive for the bal
anced forces needed for the most
probable types of conflict. We
would be stronger, not weaker.
Our nuclear capability for de-
struction defles description. Our
arsenal of hydrogen and other
weapons is enough to efface the
earth. Our stockpile continues
to grow. But entering such an
agreement. we lose none Of our
war power. We gain peace
power.

standing committee to the annual
convention.
/ The report asserted:
Through mandates by union
chiefs. operating under the device
of international union laws, local
bargaining has lost much of its
freedom.
With the International Typo
graphical Union leading the way,
local unions have been deprived
of essential autonomy. Local
publishers negotiate under dis
torted conditions designed by in
ternational unions to circumvent
free bargaining, This has pro-
duced deplorable results"
The report said nine strikes hit
II newspapers in 1855. 1t pointed
out that the Brooklyn Eagle went
out Of business. Detroit had a
newspaper blackout for As days
because of a strike, and there
was a costly strike in Oklahoma
City, although publication con-
tinued.
The report said.
Publishers and local unions
want free local bargaining for
mutual benefit. Despite top
union obstruction nearly all
newspapers have continued to
publish. While the profit ratio
goes down, increased circulation
and Image have enabled most
newspapers to improve service
and also continue paying the
highest wages in the country.
Exceptions like the Brooklyn
Eagle vanish by union edict. "
Referring to arbitration of dis
putes. the report said:
This mutually beneficial
method for settling disputes
also testified as a Character wit
ness and said Pvt. SCOTS repu-
tation for honesty, and for eff
cheney as an officer, was excel

James Burke, a District opera
tors permit examiner. told the
board he examined Berry on the
morning of January 10 and
Berry failed the test. He said
Pvt. Scott was in the back of
the room during the test and
came to him and asked him what
was the matter.
He said he told the officer. He
didn't know the signs
Mr.. Burke said the officer re-
piled, We'll, he knew them out

.H-bomb Fusion
Near, Red Says

LONDON. April IS ga tor
Russian scientist limited yester-
day that the Soviet Union may
be on the verge of Harvesting
the hydrogen bomb for produc-
ton Of industrial energy.
Dr.. Igor Kurchatov told 800
scientists at the British govern.
ment'S Harwell Laboratory that
Soviet scientists have produced
temperatures of around million
degrees centigrade by discharg-
ing powerful electric currents
through gas-filled tubes.
Such a temperature is almost
high enough to start fusion OF
heavy hydrogen atoms. the re-
action that makes the H-bomh
possible.
AS far as is known. all fusion
blasts produced thus far nave
had to use the atomic bomb as
trigger, a method that cannot
be controlled for peaceful pro-
duction of energy.
Dr.. Kurchatov. who came tC
Britain as atomic adviser tC

on controlled fusion in 1852.
There was no immediate Off

along similar lines.
