knows the United States will, and
almost every one hopes the Rus

A FORTNIGHT AGO, in his
N speech to the Supreme Soviet,
Premier Georgi Malenkov an
nounced that the Russians pos
sessed the hydrogen bomb. Though
there was no good reason to think
he was lying (aside from the Soviet
penchant for fractional truths and
big falSehoodS) the American pub
lie reacted primarily with disbe-
lief. The American Government
did nothing, Immediately, to set
the record straight.
Then, last Thursday mornings
edition of Pravda hit the street in
Moscow. It carried a fiat state
ment that "the explosion of type
of hydrogen bomb was carried out
with experimental aim"
There was no reason to believe
Malenkov's newspaper any more
than Malenkov himself. But within
a matter of hours, Atomic Energy
Commission Chairman Lewis L.
Strauss told the world both Malen-
kov and Pravda had been telling
the truth. His announcements:
/. American detection stations

atomic blast set off within Soviet
territory. Subsequently, analysis
showed that both conventional
atomic (fission) and new hydrogen
(fusion) reactions were involved.
2. American atomic tests in the
Pacific in 1851 and 1852 involved
similar reactions.
Only few days earlier there
had been reports, tending to knock
down the Russian H-bomb claims,
that our detectors had found no
sign of Soviet atomic activity.

made just as soon as the informa-
ton could be accurately evaluated.

oners and of recriminations con-
tinued. Through Saturday, the
POW trade was about go per cent
completed-but there was a mad
dening question mark in the way
the Reds were going about the
exchange.
At the end of the week, 1920
allied prisoners had returned to
freedom. This was SO per cent of
the 1858 the Communists had
said they held. But of these pris-
oners, only 1859 were Americans
only 46 per cent of the 1913 listed
as POWs by the Reds. The ques-
ton Of why the Communists were
dragging their feet in returning
Americans was unanswered.
Also unanswered was the ques-
ton of why so few American off,
GERS had been returned. Maj. Gen.
William F. Dean, who is known to
have been captured and at last

been heard from. Many other Of

The Soviet proposal was inter-
esting, but not crucial. It seemed,
rather, that whatever comes out
of the Assembly session will be
based on the 15-power pact and its
two amendments. The second ad-
dition-that of India-was what
was causing the trouble this week
end.
All week long, there was an
American hope that India would
bow out, making it unnecessary
for the United States to take the
embarrassing step of voting against
that country. That hope seemed
forlorn this week end, as pro and,
anti-Indian electioneering came
out into the open. 1t is likely now

only an experimental device? The
second was: What have we got?

ON THE SUBJECT of the United
" Nations, more than on most
subjects, public opinion is divided
into two camps-the incurable op-
timists and the incurable pessi-
miStS.
This week end, after a full week
of maneuvering by the United Ma
tions General Assembly on the
question of Korea, nothing had
happened to convert any one to the
opposite point of view. The results
were neither so bad as some had
feared nor so good as some had
hoped.

Iran

nREMIER MOHAMMED MOS
: L SADEGH, the weepy old man
who courted both fascism and
communism in the name of Ira
nian nationalism, was thrown out
of office last Wednesday in
bloody one day revolution. Royal
iSt supporters of the Shah of Iran,
fearful of Mossadegh's flirtations
with the Communists and preten-
sions to dictatorship, engineered
the uprising. DR.. Mossadegh was
replaced by Maj. Gen. Fazollah
Zahedi, who led an impressive
street battle against Mossadegh
supporters.
Gen. Zahedi apparently stole the
Persian army out from under its
Mossadegh- h-appointed leaders. The
first Royalist attempt at a coup
failed last Sunday morning. 1t
misf1red so hopelessly that Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlevi fled, first
to Iraq, then to Rome. He was
ION vacation" in Italy when Gen.
Zahedi pulled off the second coup.
Significantly, the region from
which Gen. Zahedi rebounded af-
ter the first plot miscarried was
Azerbaijan, which borders on So
Wet Russia. 1t was there that the
Kremlin stationed occupation
troops after World War II, until
President Truman issued an "ul-
timatum" in 1916. The people of
Azerbaijan, it can be assumed,
viewed Mossadegh's recent friendly
talks with Russia and his accept
ance of Communist Tudeh Party
aid with alarm.
The switch in leadership was a
welcome, if mixed, blessing for the
free world. The Communist Tudeh
Party, which had been jockeying
itself into position where Mossa-
degh was depending on it, suffered
severe drubbing; That much was
good.
But the prospects for getting
the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. back
into business we're not much i'm
proved, as far as any one could see
Gen. Zahedi Is no friend of the
British. They arrested him for
collaborating with the Nazis in
World War II. It is doubtful that
he will be any more inclined to
compensate the British for their
losses than his predecessor was.
The only hope is that he will be
more sensitive to the rapid i'm
poverishment of the country. The
losses from oil revenues have cost
Persia dearly, and most of the cost
has been taken out of the already
low living standard of the common
people.
But even if Gen. Zahedi we're
ready to sell Iranian oil on terms
the British could accept, there
would be the problem of finding
markets. The world has not stood
still since the oil flow at Abadan

No doubt the Russians intend to
hold on to East Germany indefi-
nitely, milking it the while.
For the hapless East Germans the
principal hope is that they can
wear the Communists down, to
make their captors so uncomfort-
able that they leave. This is a
slim, grim hope. indeed.

CENATE Communist hunters
~ turned the spotlight on the
Government Printing Office last
week. Chairman Mccarthy of Wis
consin developed his principal case
against bookbinder, Edward
Rothschild, whom witnesses &C
cused of being Communist Party
member and spy. Mr.. Rothschild's
wife was also identified by the
Senator's witnesses as a Commu-
mist. Both refused to answer ques-
tions, claiming immunity under
the fifth amendment. Four other
witnesses who were said to have
been associated with the Roths-
childs likewise took refuge in the
Constitution.
Senators Mccarthy and Potter,
Michigan Republican, wondered
aloud about loose security meas.
ures at the GPO, stressing two
points: Cd Why didn't the GPO
handle all its highly classified
printing in the building set aside
for such work, instead of other
buildings where security measures
were less rigid? (2) How did Mr..
Rothschild ever get by all the
loyalty boards that have cleared
him in the past few years?
GPO officials defended their Sc
curity measures, and claimed that
the Mccarthy committee had de-
veloped responses from Roths-
child and other witnesses that the
GPO loyalty board had failed to
evoke. Senator Mccarthy thought
the board could have got the same
information. Mr.. Rothschild was
suspended by the GPO within an
hour after he refused to say if he
had ever been a Communist.

Germany

IN PAPER, Moscow and the
~ West want the same things
for Germany: Free, country wide
elections and unification. Ac-
tuallY, the Russians have no in
tention of permitting free elec-
tionS in their Eastern zone, because
they obviously would lose. AS for
unif1cation, the Soviet Union would
agree to it only for an exorbitant
price, either Red control of the
unified whole or German nom
participation in NATO.
Lest the West perchance call the
Red bluff, the Communists make
a great show of disagreeing over
timing. The free world wants
elections first and unif1cation sec
ond. The Reds insist on the re-
verse order. Past experie
indicates that if the West accepted
the Kremlin plan, the Communists
would follow through on unifica-
ton but would seek to prevent free
elections. Once uniication was
achieved, with Red henchmen in
some of the key spots, the Kremlin
could be expected to try for another
slow-breaking, Czechoslovak-type
coup.
Timing Is the Key
All this had grown quite clear in
the years before Josef Stain died.
But when Georgi Malenkov took
over last March to the tune
of peace overture, the West
listened. Just possibly the Reds
would change, some thought. The
key to the riddle would be the new
crowds timing on German elec-
tions and unification. Up to last
week Mr.. Malenkov's government
had made two moves on Germany
but had remained silent on the
timing.
Last Monday the world learned
from a new Soviet note on Ger
many that the old Stain timing
had not been changed. The Com
munists renewed their straight
faced advocacy of unification first
and free alderman elections to
follow. Specific steps could be
threshed out at peace confer
ence which should open before
February, the Reds said. They
asked that both the Bonn and East
Berlin governments be represented.
Eyes on September s
Plainly the Kremlin's eyes were
on September 6, the day provost
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
government faces the people of
Western Germany at the polls.
With these empty, shopworn pro-
posals, the Reds hope to support
Adenauer's political enemies, who
advocate unity ueber alleS, even if
IL means IeeQlng the country 10
the Russian bear.
One notable characteristic of the
August 16 Soviet note was its in
compatibility with the two pro-
nouncements on Germany earlier
this month. On August 5, Moscow
suggested that the Big Four for
eign ministers without German
participation discuss the general
problem of tensions over Germany,
something very different from the
specific demand for peace con-
ference and other preliminary
steps set forth in the August 16
note. And on August 8, Premier
Malenkov struck yet third pose,
one of fear that Germany might
revert to militariSm.
Finally, last night, Malenkov let

THE PRESIDENT, "vacationing"

pointed few officials, and mended
few political fences on a one-day
trip to New York.
In report on foreign, aid, the
President flew in the face of re-
cent congressional sentiment by
saying he saw no early end to the
program. Congress has called for
a halt by June 80, 1856. Gen.
Eisenhower also got in dig at the
United States allies, whose CO.
operation in self-help, he found,
left something to be desired.

welfare programs were the princi-
pal concerns Of the President in

ion, to head study of waste and
duplication in Federal-State af-
fairs.
Power Policy
The new power policy took the
emphasis off public versus private
development and, instead, stressed
local over national adminis-
tration of the programs. Private
power companies are expected to
get more opportunities in the
power field as a result, although
the trend will not be definite un-
til the Interior Department acts
in series of specific cases.
Early in the week, Gen. Eisen-
hover okayed Attorney General
Brownell's plan to stem the illegal
flow of low-wage Mexican farm
workers (wetbacks) into this coun-
try.
In Wednesday air excursion to
New York the President registered
for an absentee ballot in next No
vember's mayoralty elections there,
talked over campaign strategy
with Republican candidate Harold
Riegelman, and appeared at the
dedication of a $32-million hous-
ing project.
Back in Denver on Thursday, he
talked with Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Hobby about So
cial security expansion and other
policies in her department.
Then, late last week, the PreSi-
dent settled down for some relax
alton.
Over the week end Chile made
move which may rob the PreSi-
dent of more of his vacation time.
President Carlos Ibanez an
nounced he would break his coun-
try's pledge not to sell copper to
Communist countries. Chile has
been stockpiling copper rather
than sell it to the United States
for only 20 cents a pound, which
is 71a cents under what Chile
wants. Mr.. Ibanez's idea, appar-
emily, is to prod the United States
either to buy up the copper or
extend hard-pressed Chile loan.
