MR SANDYS’ REPLY ON TACTICAL BOMB
(Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, April 19. Mr Duncan Sandys, Britain’s Defence Minister, enhanced his Parliamentary reputation by. the manner in which he presented his White Paper to a- critical Opposition and a crowded House, but he might have prepared himself more adequately to deal with a controversial question he must have known he would be asked. Could a tactical atomic weapon be used without causing an allout nuclear war? After a good deal of prodding, Mr Sandys said that the possibility “could not be excluded that a tactical atomic weapon could be used without producting an ultimate cataclysm.” This left the House not much wiser than before.
