Which Way Are We Going?
Last year 15,000 misshapen and genetically inferior chil¬
dren were born into the world as a direct result
testing. And if nuclear testing continues, more tiian 15,000
defective children will continue to be torn each year.
These startling statistics arc the conclusions of Dr. Li
Pauling, nuclear physicist and XoIk'I prize winner and ]
haps the most outs]>oken opponent of nuclear testing.
These claims arc not wild guesses nor are they emotional
claims. They arc conclusions of a respected man of siicnc
In his book. No More War. Pauling lists thc defecth
children as only one of the many detrimental effects <
nuclear fallout. Others are potential damages to the personal
health of entire nntions am-the possibility of a nuclear war
that could snuff out millions,
"in placing the number of defective children at 15,000,
Pauling uses a series of calculations. For the basis of these
calculations he uses estimates of the amount of radiation
that people in the world arc being subjected to.
Since the basis for all of his calculations is the most im¬
portant item in his case, it is interesting to note that Paul¬
ing's estimate is not an extreme one, compared to others.
For example. Pauling estimates that fallout is in such quan¬
tity that it will cause a one per cent increase in mutation
throughout thc world.
Many other top scientists in thc country take even a
higher estimate for their calculations. Some, however, take
a much lower figure. Dr. Edward Teller, another Nobel
prize winner, takes one of the lowest estimates or
tion effects of fallout, saying that mutations will increase
only 1/10 of one per cent on a world wide scale. The Atomic
Energy Commission Advisory Committee on Biology and
Medicine estimates an increase of between .02 and
These estimates ranging from 1/10 of one per i
per cent may seem like trivia until they are applied to world
statistics. Pauling takes the figure 75.000,00
world birth rate for one year and accepts that 1.500,000 of
these children are normally born with hereditary defects.
From  the total  number of expected  defective children
annually  (1,500.000). Pauling applies his one p«
crease estimate, and figures that 15,000 children
fective each year as a result of the nuclear tests.

Many competent people in this area admit that it is still a
greatly unexplored field. Said Pauling, "Perhaps the esti¬
mate that bomb testing at the present rate is producing a
1 percent increase in mutation is ten times too large. Also
there is a possibility (because our knowledge is incomplete)
that it is ten times too small. Perhaps the testing of one
large superbomb (which releases as much radioactivity as a
year's testing at the pre-test ban rate) requires
fice of only 1,500 children, perhaps it requires the sacrifice
of 150,000 children, or even more."

makes another great discovery...
It's what's up front
that counts
You can reproduce the experiment
It's easy as 7T. (Yes, you can do it
in thc bathtub.) Assuming that you
have first visited your friendly tobac¬
conist, simply light your first Winston
and smoke it Reasoning backwards,
the discovery proceeds as follows:
first you will notice a delightful
flavor, in the class of fresh coffee or
of bread baking. Obviously, such
flavor cannot come from the filter.
Therefore, it's what's up front that
counts: Winston's Filter-Blend. The
tobaccos arc selected for flavor and
mildness, then specially processed for
filter smoking. This extra step is the
real difference between Winston and
all other filter cigarettes. Besides,
It's why Winston is America's best-
selling filter cigarette.
"EurekaI Winston tastes good ...
like a cigarette should!"
