The moral to be drawn from
q week of congressional hear
ings on a theoretical atomic war
is not that millions would die
but that most Americans would
survive-and democracy and
the national economy probably
would. too.
That is what witnesses and
House-Senate radiation sub
committee members tried to put
across on the final day of the
hearings. They were concerned
that earlier descriptions Of
holocaust and carnage would
generate a what's the use?"
attitude from the public.
The schedule Of witnesses was
changed yesterday in quick
effort to demonstrate that
engaging in an atomic war
would not be blind suicide and
that civil defense is not a joke.
The first four days of the
hearings were. in broad outline,
old stuff. Everyone knew that
hydrogen bombs would kill mil
lions Of people and leave others
living in caves. The details Of
death - slide-rule calculations
offered with considerable relish
to show that everybody in town
would die three ways from blast,
fire and radiation-seemed un-
related to real life.
Constructive Theme Emerges
But from yesterdays discus
sion of survival and defense
policy, a more constructive
theme emerged. These points
were made:
The use Of atomic weapons
does not necessarily mean ma
tional suicide, even a large
scale war.
The popular picture Of a
world population felled by lin
gering radiation after a war
is untrue.
A country which has adopted
a policy Of massive nuclear-
retaliation as a deterrent to
war had better invest some
money in fallout shelters.
Prompts New Studies
The deterrent won't work un-
less we are willing-and the
world is convinced we are will
ling-to accept a nuclear war
