peacenik

[Grant Barrett]

The forthcoming Oxford Dictionary of American Political Slang has
"peacenik" slightly earlier:

1963 N.Y. Times Mag. May 19 p. 17: Peace groups bud (and wither) with
such frequency that even the experts can't keep track of them. They
come in all shapes and sizes--professional groups...religious groups,
demonstrators and nondemonstrators, sophisticated groups and peacenik
amateurs.
