WHENEVER the U.S. announces a new series of nuclear tests, protests against fallout dangers rumble at home and abroad. Last week, with the U.S. planning to hold tests at Eniwetok this summer, and with Moscow hinting at a unilateral test ban as a propaganda ploy, the rumble turned to thunder. But this time a recognized authority, the University of California's Physicist Edward Teller (TIME Cover, Nov. 18, 1957) was ready with an important book stating the case for continued testing.

...fiery debate over whether the U.S. should halt nuclear tests is flaring up as the nation gets ready for this summer's tests at Eniwetok. (Somehow it never seems to flare when the Russians are testing.) Last week, as Washington waited for Russia to strike the propaganda pose of unilaterally halting its own tests, the British Labor Party's Hugh Gaitskell, a likely future Prime Minister, called upon Britain to declare a unilateral test ban of its own. In St. Louis, Washington University's left-leaning Physicist Edward U. Condon predicted that because of radioactive fallout from...
...Topflight Washington correspondents speculated that the U.S. might be ready to change its position on nuclear-weapons tests, which was that the U.S. would not stop the tests unless the U.S.S.R. also stopped nuclear-weapons production. The new line: after this spring's nuclear tests at Eniwetok Atoll, the U.S. will know more about "clean bombs'' for limited wars, hence will have less to lose by agreeing to a stoppage of tests without any Russian payment in return. Dulles himself seemed to signal some change in emphasis in recent testimony to a closed session of the House...
...Atomic Energy Commission can expect trouble if it attempts to carry out its announced April series of nuclear weapons tests. Albert Bigelow '29 and three other American pacifists plan to sail into the Eniwetok Island bomb test area early in April and remain there, come what...
Bigelow, a member of the National Committee of Non-Violent Action Against Nuclear Weapons, plans to set out for Eniwetok on Feb. 9 in his 30-foot ketch, the "Golden Rule." He left New York for Los Angeles last night to outfit the vessel. The former commander of three Navy combat ships hopes his action will arouse the conscience of the American people to the peril of nuclear bomb testing...
