against the advice of many of his political advisers, stevenson insisted on calling for an international ban to aboveground nuclear weapons tests, and for an end to the military draft. despite strong criticism from president eisenhower and other leading republicans, such as vice-president nixon and former new york governor thomas dewey, that his proposals were naive and would benefit the soviet union in the cold war, stevenson held his ground, saying in various speeches that "earth's atmosphere is contaminated from week to week by exploding hydrogen bombs...we don't want to live forever in the shadow of a radioactive mushroom cloud...[and] growing children are the principal potential sufferers" of increased strontium 90 in the atmosphere. in the end, stevenson's push to ban atmospheric nuclear bomb tests "cost him dearly in votes", yet "adlai finally won the verdict", as eisenhower suspended aboveground nuclear tests in 1958, president kennedy would sign the partial nuclear test ban treaty into law in 1963, and president nixon would end the military draft in 1973.
