NUCLEAR HORROR

Sig,—A letter which appears in the Spectator over the name of Austin Lee deplores what he considers the horror of pigs being used by Americans in nuclear device tests. It seems probable that Mr. Lee does not know that all of the 800 pigs were under the influence of anwsthetics and were unconscious. This fact has been brought out repeatedly by the United States press. If it were not a fact our humane societies would rise in protest.—Yours faithfully, TOM 'WALLACE Editor Emeritus The Louisville Times Louisville 2, Kentucky, USA
