Senators Urge Cancel Pacific Atomic Tests
Two Democratic senators filed a resolution urging President Truman to cancel the summer atomic bomb tests in the Pacific. Huffman and Lucas cited folly and waste, while Walsh warned ships valued at 21 billion dollars should not be destroyed without overwhelming cause. Johnson proposed a nine member nuclear energy commission with broad executive input and limited voting ex officio members. He argued the plan could appease groups opposing the Vandenberg amendment. Huffman criticized peace talks alongside test preparations and Lucas called the tests unnecessary and wasteful, noting 96 ships could instead anchor along the coast for housing veterans.
