Britain Defends French Sahara Atomic Test Position
Britain's UN delegate Mr. Ovid Ormsby-Gore told the General Assembly that British Australia tests show radioactivity falls with distance and the French Sahara test would not endanger nearby or distant populations. He stressed the test is an atomic bomb, not an H-bomb, and pledged safety assurances for Africa while noting Soviet tests near populations. Ghana's Alex Quaison-Lachey urged France to call off the tests, fearing Africa would be used as a guinea pig.
