Global vote on world disarmament proposed by peace leaders
Associated Press writer Mike Feinsilber in Washington reports that some disarmament leaders back a plan for a global adult vote on ending the arms race while others fear it may fail. The idea centers on a worldwide referendum to prompt leaders toward disarmament, with Operation Dismantle in Canada promoting the effort since 1977 and 33 Canadian towns planning peace referendums this fall. In the United States the National Nuclear Freeze Campaign will discuss backing the referendum at a June meeting.
