World Situation Hinges
On How Many A-Bombs
The Russians Now Have
WASHINGTON, {A3) — Winston
Churchill was quoted as telling
U.S. senators visiting in Europe
recently that the world situation
hinges on how many atomic
-'bombs the Russians have.
Senator Green <D-RI> asked
Churchill, wartime prime minister
of England, “what he thought of
the present outlook on things?”
Churchill “looked around what
seemed to be about three min
utes — probably 30 seconds — and
puffed on his cigar,” and then
finally said:
“ ‘How many atomic bombs
have they got’?”
