| Description | Cartoon shows a shabby man (labeled "The War Weary") holding a crumpled paper (labeled "Peace Plan Hopes") and groping his way under a dark cloud labeled "H Bomb Fears." In the distance, smoke labeled "Kremlin Cold Warfare" rises. The caption refers to Arthur Koestler's novel of the same name about the purge trial of a Communist leader. In December, the world discovered that the United States was contemplating the development of a new even more powerful atomic bomb, known as the Hydrogen Bomb. Expresses fears about the development of such a bomb and blames the Soviet Union for the continuation of the Cold War. |
