Study by arms control groups charges weapons race a waste WASHINGTON (AP) - More than $1 million a minute is being spent worldwide on the military, with nuclear stockpiles exceed ing 50,000 weapons, according to a study by a coalition of arms control groups The study, "World Military and Social Expenditures, 1982," charges that nuclear and conventional arms races have wasted resources without en hancing international security. International nuclear stock piles have mushroomed to represent the equivalent of 3.5 tons of TNT for every person on earth — a total representing more than 1 million times the explosive power of the Hiro shima bomb, the study said "Under its heavy military bur den, the global economy has suffered," writes the author of the study, Ruth Sivard "The diversion of resources from civilian needs is a silent killer, curbing productivity and development, and adding more millions to the hundreds of mil lions of people who lack the most basic necessities of life " Sivard is director of a non profit research organization named World Priorites. She was formerly chief of the economics division of the U S. Arms Con trol and Disarmament Agency The report, using information supplied by the Pentagon, the CIA, United Nations organiza tions and several international publications, claims that: World military costs have ri sen to $600 billion a year — well over $1 million a minute. The world's nuclear weapon stockpile is equivalent to 16 bil lion tons of TNT In World War II, 3 million tons of munitions were expended, and 40 million to 50 million people died Spending per soldier aver ages $19,300 worldwide but on ly $380 is spent per school age child for education For every 100,000 people, there are 556 soldiers and 85 physicians. An estimated 100 million peo ple worldwide are engaged dir ectly or indirectly in military ac tivities.
