| Description: | Red Contempt: Ignore Pleas, Blast Bomb The united nations meets in anger and shock on the morning the Russians detonated their super-bomb. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson sums up the feelings of the majority when he calls the 50-megaton or better blast 'a great leap backward toward anarchy and disaster.' His speech touched off a wave of denunciations in the assembly's main political committee. Adlai Stevenson says "As he said he would, Mr. Khrushchev has exploded his Giant Bomb, in cynical disregard of the United Nations. By this act the Soviet Union have added injury to insult." speech continues. Man smoking pipe sitting next to Mr. Stevenson. | |
