| Description: | EISENHOWER SEES LESS CHANCE OF H-WAR President Dwight Eisenhower plays down threat of H-bomb war. Washington DC, United States of America (USA). MS press conference. High angle shots of President Dwight Eisenhower taking the stand. CU audience. Various shots President Eisenhower speaking "... the progress in the building of big, fast bombers, and progress in production of missiles that have not yet, let's say, reached the range and accuracy that you would want, but in short range are very effective - the vulnerability of any nation is probably greater than it ever was, because one bomb today can do the damage of probably all that we dropped on Germany in World War II. ... But I say this: the likelihood of any nation, possessing these great weapons of massive destruction, [using them in an attack] grows less, I think, every year. I believe as their understanding of them grows, then the less the chance that they would go on an adventure that brought these things into play, because, as I see it, any such operation today is just another way of committing suicide." | |
