Flanders Pushes Law to Ban U S First Use of Atom Bomb
Senator Flanders proposes a resolution preventing the United States from using atomic weapons first in any war until another nation uses them first. The plan allows retaliation with overwhelming force if attacked with atomic weapons and cites a U S News estimate of 200 to 250 bombs in stockpile. He argues for shifting atomic effort to industry and seeks UN backed control while preparing armed forces for retaliation.
