| Description: | IKE, ADLAI HOLD HUGE NY RALLIES Both candidates talk about h-bomb testing - Adlai Stevenson says US should stop H-Bomb tests; Ike says that it's too dangerous to cease testing unless other nations also agree to do so. Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, United States of America (USA). Various shots crowds gathered in Madison Square Garden. MS Democrat Adlai Stevenson speaking and calling for end to H-bomb testing. "Now, let me say to you that this hydrogen bomb discussion is not a political controversy. This is a matter of national security and moral responsibility to our citizens and to our fellow inhabitants of the whole globe. Will the peace and the health of the world be advanced if all nations stopped exploding these weapons? The answer is yes. We must ask ourselves would an agreement weaken the relative military position of the United States? And the answer is no. And it is the place of the Democratic Party to make the 20th Century safe for people, the people of America and the people throughout the world." Various shots of crowds in Square. CU Republican Eisenhower speaking. Cut-in shots of crowds cheering. Eisenhower, "…we need, also, to reiterate, as we constantly do, America's instant readiness to lay aside all nuclear weapons, including their testing, when, but only when, we have sure safeguards that others will do exactly the same. … The compelling challenge before the world is not the matter of testing nuclear weapons, but of making impossible their use in any nuclear war. It is to this far greater purpose that all efforts of your Government have steadfastly been dedicated - through months and years of tireless negotiation, with both firm friend and potential foe." | |
