Bertrand Russell, 85-year-old philosopher, gives the human race an even chance of existing 40 years from now.

“It’s absolutely necessary if mankind is to survive that the H-bomb should be banned everywhere,” he said yesterday at a rally organized by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

“It’s got to be banned by America and Russia. If it’s not, sooner or later you’ll get an explosion. A great deterrent will not work and mankind will be wiped out.”

AP, Feb. 18
