ooo \ SESSION VI . member of this thing, and very often they do not participate, 285 They don't have the time to participate; they do what your wife or my wife might be doing through the PTA and this sort of thing. So I think it's a little unfair to point this out as something fearful and wonderful, I think it’s just natural that it would be there to a certain extent. I am amazed that not one of ther had read the pamphiet, but I certainly wouldn't have expected many of them to have read it. ROOT: I would like to know the nucleus in Congress that's inter- ested. Perhaps that's a starting base. LUNHAM: There's a group within Congreas—I think it's a national organization—called Peace Through Law. still can’t recall the exact title of the group. Apparently Senator Clark is a principal member of it in the Senate. They look at the problems of avoiding war, and I gather their main approach is through legal means. [ never saw a law stop an international conflagration, but maybe it could. However, that's beside the point. This movie produced by the BBC is about a nuclear war that takes place primarily in England, The attack is from the Eaat and it's a very graphic prexentation of, first, the disbelief and, then, the inadequacies of civil defense. The film then shows the public turning on their local leaders, which happens occassionally in peacetime, tou. I thought it was very effective. Apparently Senator Clark saw it, too, and was impressed by it and thought it would be interesting to have his colleagues on the Hill see it. He got in touch with the Joint Conmimittee on Atomic Energy which got in touch with us and asked if a couple of us would be there in case there were questions and comment. So he had two showings, one for the House ar.d one for the Senate, one right after the other. There weren't more than two or three Congressmen there and I think he was the only Senator who showed up. It was avery vivid motion picture. It showed in local theaters, firat in New York and it opened in Washington a day or two after I saw it; that's how we happened to have a print cf it available, But it was forbidden for public showing on British TV because it was considered bad medicine. ROOT: I think I know the organization in New York and I think if there is any interest here in seeing the film, we might be able to get it for the next meeting. DUNHAM: is's a commercially available film. It was shown in the Penn Theater. I don't know where it was shown in New York.
