This was:one of the main points scientists at a rally in V Speakers at the rally were | the | Dr. George Griffiths of U.B.C, Dr. Fred- Kelly, Uni- versity of Manitoba and Dr: E. W. Pfeiffer, Montana State Un- iversity professor. Dr. Hugh Keenlyside, chair- man o; the meeting which was sponsored by the B.C. Committee on Radiation Haz- ards, set the keynote for the meeting when he said amid thunderous applause that “what happened at Hiroshima should never happen to any city again.’ “Canadians must concentrate all their resources and wisdom and skill to avoid total self-destruction,” he said. Ali speakers were unani- mous in calling for the early conclusion of a pact to stop nuclear tests and outlaw nuc- clear weapons. Other points made by the speakers were that: ®Fallout shelters in target areas are farcical. Dr. Kelly said, “only people who happen to be exploring caves many miles from a city would sur- vive a nuclear attack.” @The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and U.S. military have never wanted to suspend tests and that Dr. Edwin Tell- |. er, leading AEC scientist, had ‘propounded fables” about the dangers of radiation. @Strontium 90 is particular- for children. Tests show that _ children’s bones have 7 times more Stron- tium 90 than adults. Dr. Kelly warned that both the Soviet Union and the USS. ancouver’s Kerrisdale Arena made by three prominent last Friday to 2,500 peony | have more than enough nuc- |learsweapons to destroy the whole world. He said ‘the world must revise completely its attitude’ to international conflicts. War is no longer an acceptable means to settle in- ternational disputes.” He urged people to let the government know how they feel and stress- ed the importance of a nuclear ban and disarmament. Dr. Pfeiffer said “powerful forces in the U.S. wish to con- tinue testing and he urged Ca- nadians to make their voices heard in Washington in the “loudest possible way.” The meeting opened with a reading by Vancouver artists Doug Haskins and Lillian Carl- son. Many prominent citizens including representatives of la- bor, church groups, political parties, press and __ scientific circles were introduced. The meeting was called to mark the 15th Anniversary of the dropping of the first atom- ic bomb on Hiroshima. On Sat- urday, August 6, some three hundred men, women and chil- dren walked from the Univer sity gate to the newly construc. ted Japanese Gardens on the | U.B.C. campus. Rev. Phillip Hewitt, of the Unitarian Church conducted 2. short service. He decried the process of depersonalization which enabled such horrors as the mass murder. of Jewish | people by the Nazis as well as the atom bombing of Hirosht - ma and Nagasaki to be perpe ° trated. The people of Hiroshima, he | said, were hidden. behind 4; wall of labels, which enabled ; those who made the decision » and those who actually drop: ped the bomb to see them not as human beings like themselv- es, but as symbols. He quoted the US. senator who, after the testing of the first hydroge? . bomb at Bikini. remarked: “That homb should have beet dropped on Moscow.” He coucluded with an appeals to work toward ‘influencing © public opinion in the best way . we know how in our concert with our common humanity.” | Television broadcasts will The Communist Party campaign for peace, security will be taken to hundreds of thousands of people in B.C. over TV and radio.
