Nuclear testing halt call from American leaders
Forty eight leaders of American thought including twelve clergymen published a full page statement in a New York paper urging Eisenhower to separate nuclear tests from other disarmament issues. They want immediate test cessation under UN monitoring and for missiles and satellites to be UN controlled. The New York Committee to Halt Nuclear Testing and groups in Connecticut and New Jersey have gathered thousands of signatures urging the president to stop tests now, regardless of Soviet maneuvers, citing health harms and lack of safety benefits.
