Stassen Opposes Dropping Atom Bomb on China
Harold E. Stassen, president of the University of Pennsylvania, told a National Council of Churches assembly that the atom bomb should not be used against China except to aid U.S. troops in North Korea or if World War III is triggered by the Russians. He urged ONU to press MacArthur to stabilize a ground front with minimal casualties and to break diplomatic ties with Communist China. Dr. O Frederick Nolde urged caution, saying do not drop atomic bombs on China and urged restraint amid tensions. Earlier, a Federal Council panel suggested certain moral scenarios could justify use of the bomb. President Truman noted consideration of atomic use in the Korean crisis.
