As these and other experiments continue, the adoption of a worldwide atoms-for-peace program becomes more inevitable to permit all scientists to devote their skills and energies to the betterment of mankind...
...nuclear testing, would not insist on an end at the same time to production of nuclear materials for weapons. Dulles stood aside while Defense Secretary Neil H.
