Bipartisan Proposal?

ON THE RIGHT

I was recently in a conversation with. Mr. Steve Allen, among whose significant accomplishments is his genius as an entertainer, among whose lesser achievements is his friendship with me. Mr. Allen is among other things prominently connected with a number of leftwing causes. He is for instance cochairman of the Committee For a Sane Nuclear Policy which has, according to the judgment of at least one of Mr. Allen’s friends, done about as much as any other organization in America to damage America’s moral and psychological capacity to comprehend the Bomb as an instrument for. peace and justice. But never mind that. I put to Mr. Allen a week ago a concrete proposal, and was gratified to have an answer which he gave me permission to publish. Namely, that he would join me in approving a nuclear strike by our Strategic Air Command against the nuclear installations in Red China which have recently ground out an atomic bomb.
