...congressional resolution calling for a freeze on nuclear weapons by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The nonbinding measure, introduced in both houses of Congress last week, has already attracted 20 Senators and 143 Representatives as sponsors. "Will the time ever be more right?" asked Democratic Congressman Jonathan Bingham of New York.

By fragmenting, the bullet would quickly incapacitate a person but would be less likely than an ordinary bullet to pass through him or to puncture the outer skin of an airplane. Because of manufacturing difficulties, the company stopped producing the Devastator last...
