French Likely
(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) SYDNEY, March 1.
Two “suicide ships” from Sydney may be sailed into the French nuclear test zone in the Pacific ocean later this year—one leaving in a blaze of publicity. and the other in a cloak of secrecy.
This is the latest plan of the Committee Against Atomic Testing, which aims to subject nuclear disarmers to the dangers of radio-active fall-out from the tests to draw world attention to the French action. C.A.A.T. is going ahead with its plans in spite of a shortage of money and is at present looking at six boats in Sydney, with an eye to buying two of them and converting them for the voyage. A spokesman for the committee, Mr Lloyd Wilkie, said today that it would cost about 10.000 dollars to buy and equip each boat, and only 1000 dollars had been collected so far.
