The KremIin and the Atom

torelgn Munster VlSnlnSky mas given voice
to bit OF hyperbole in describing the latest
Soviet atomic proposal as tremendous and
momentous step forward" toward a universal
agreement on outlawing A-weapons and subject
ing all nuclear-energy activities to an effective
system Of international control. The proposal,
it is true, seems to be concession OF sorts to
the Western position and in that sense 1t may
be regarded as a somewhat encouraging indica-
ton that the Kremlin is not unalterably COM
mitted to a nay-saying policy. Beyond that,
however, the development is anything but earth
shaking.
The concession, such as 1t Is, yields ground
to the West in two respects: ID, Whereas in the
past the Kremlin has insisted that the United
Nations proclaim an Immediate and unconditional
ban on A-weapons before taking any steps to set
up strict international control machinery 1t now
Is willing to accept the idea that the ban should
not become operable until the control machinery
is In effective working order And az 1t has
come around to agreeing with the principle of
continuous inspection, whereas previously it has
insisted that there could be only periodic checks
the dates Of which would have to be announced
In advance to the countries to be inspected-an
arrangement that would conveniently enable vio-
lators to hide discriminating evidence prior to
the policemen's arrival.
These two changes in past Soviet policy are
rather gratifying as far as they CO. But the trouble
is that they do not go nearly far enough This
is so because the proposal put forward by vishin-
sky, although yielding on the point OF continuous
inspection, carries with it the qualification that
the agents conducting such inspection shall not
be entitled to interfere in domestic affairs of
the states" The real meaning of the qualifica-
ton can best be understood through glance at
the record in Korea and elsewhere Of how the
Kremlin has described international issues as
domestic" and barred U. N. observation COM
missions from making on-the-scene investiga-
tons More important still, the newly modified
Russian position is as insistent as ever that the
atomic control organization must be set up within
the framework Of the Security Council-an ar
rangement insuring that the veto could be en-
ployed at any time to block genuine policing be-
hind the Iron Curtain.
Clearly enough, the "ifs," "buts" and "may-
hes" Of the Soviet proposal thus make it some
thing much less than tremendous apd
momentous" advance toward agreement on the
only kind of atomic control completely vetoless.
with real teeth in it,-that the United States and
the vast majority Of the U. NJ must and will
continue to insist upon The Krenlin has taken
at best merely small step forward In that direc-
ton. It will have to do great deal more-for
example, it will have to open up the Iron Cur
tain-before the world can hope to put an. end
to the nuclear ornaments race.

Education Association have outlived their
usefulness to American public educa-

reappointed by 3-vote margin OF the

the bottom half of the State list on funds

BALTIMORE, June 3.-The
State Democratic convention met
here today with a severe factional
fight over control Of Maryland
party affairs overshadowing selec-
ton of a presidential candidate.
Opposing party leaders aban-
doned hopes Of a truce late last
night after meetings in hotel
rooms.
Lined up on one side are forces
behind Democratic National Com
mitteeman George p. Mahoney,
winner of the senatorial primary
nomination last month. Against
him, fighting to retain control, are
hackers of his primary opponent,
Representative Sasscer Of Upper
Marlboro.
Kefauver Is Primary Leader.
Attending the meetings were
the anti-Mahoney coalition in
including Representative Sasscer,
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro of
Baltimore; E. Brooke Lee. long
time Montgomery County leader,
and Joseph M. Wyatt. a South
Baltimore political boss.
The coalition is reported ready
to take MIR. Mahoney's national
committeemanship and give it to
Mayor D'Alesandro or possibly
former Gov. Lane of Hagerstown.
Senator Kefauver won over an
uninstructed delegation to Chi

the ballot.
