Description
Cartoon shows the world as a globe being squeezed in a vise made up of two bombs, one labeled "Russia's Bombs" and the other "U.S.' Bombs." Reflects the fear of a world-wide atomic war that developed after the revelation in September 1949 that the Russians also had exploded an atomic weapon.
