Strong UN Can Prevent
Crisis, Demands Cousins
Strengthening the United Nations immediately is the only de
fense against the atom bomb and world -fear, demanded Norman
oousins, Saturday Review of Literature editor, in last night's final
Community Forum lecture.
"United States foreign policy today IS based on winning the next
war rather than averting it," Mr. Cousins emphasized.. "The tense
situation in Palestine, Greece, the Sallies, is creating the gravest
crisis in our history."
Bikini Eye Witness
An. eye witness to the Bikini
a-bottlib explosion. Mr. Cousins
reminded his listeners that the
shit* hit in the atoll two years
ago are still radioactive.
The race for arms and radio
active weapons today can only
lead to- reallocation of raw ma
teriels, relocation and drafting of
labor, and eventual destruction,
stated Mr. Cousins.
"Russia and the United States
have helped cripple the UN. Tru
man called it the first line of de
fense, but bypassed it to send
arms to Greece and Turkey. The
United States also demanded the
veto power," the literary editor
pointed out.
Bikini Bomb Test
Thp 57seconds between the re
lease of the a-bothb over Bikini
and the burst were vividly dra
matised by the editor. He said
the *Srld's political thinking lags
far behind its scientific advance
ments.
"gotry spot on the earth is a
bombadier's target, and only
Aussie and China might possibly
withstand attacks. Countries ad
