Kennedy warns of nuclear spread and urges test ban
President Kennedy says the free world may fear nuclear proliferation more than Soviet gains, pressing for a comprehensive test ban. He warns that even with an uninspected atmospheric ban the US must stay ready to test, and notes the risk of 10 to 15 nations possessing bombs by decade's end. The pledge to arrest spread remains a hopeful aim rather than a guarantee.
