Soviet Peace Offensive

note with some concern a tendency
in many Americans to dismiss the
Soviet backed peace offerings of Com
munist China and North Korea as
merely further steps in propaganda
campaign designed to solidify the East
against the capitalistic nations Of the
West. To do this. is to admit defeat
in our struggle for a permanent world
peace, for it implies an inherent in
ability Of human beings to resolve diff
ferences Of opinion by means other than
war.
The motives behind this "peace Of
fensive" are indeed Of a questionable
nature. We cannot be so naive as to
assume that, after eight years Of
theological aggression, the Soviets have
finally swung over to our way Of think
ing. There is strong possibility, how
ever, that Malenkov realizes the futility
Of a third world war in which even the
victor will be crushed by the costs Of
his victory, and thus he is venturing
upon a policy Of co-existence.
In any event. we must meet this pro-
posal for settlement with a broad
minded approach. This means enter
ing negotiations with the Reds in the
hope that they are sincere in their
desire for peace and at the same time
keeping our guard up against the deceit
and hypocrisy they have so often
demonstrated in the past.

immigration Policy

The American people better take
good look before they allow repeal Of
the McCarran-Walter immigration law.
The advocates of repeal of this law
are using every trick to arouse oppo-
sition to- the law One point they are
expounding is that the law is dis
eliminating on religious and racial
grounds. That is an old chestnut and
a fraud. To hear some Of these advo-
Gates of repeal one would think the
United States is committing a heinous
crime instead of trying to preserve it
self. All Of US owe our allegiance to
the United States and its Constitution,
not to some foreign land where we
may have relatives or co-religionists,
whether it be England, Ireland, France,
Italy. or any other nation. All Of us

America would be a land Of oppor-

the really big-time American effort in
this field did not start until the winter
Of 1851. after news Of the first Soviet
detonation had alerted the free world
to portentonS new factor in the global
balance Of power.
In that winter Of 1851, in the noun
tain-ringed deSolation called the Me-
vada Proving Ground, there were five
"nuclear diagnostic tests" In the
autumn Of the same year, in the same
place, there were seven more of the
same, and in the spring Of last year
there were another eight-or 20 all told.
Meanwhile, at Eniwetok In the Pacific,
there occurred at least four detonations

Right-thinking people worked long
and hard from 1900 to 1922 to pass q
sensible immigration law and finally
were successful. Even then the law
was Is years late. Some of our present
conditions can be traced to q reckless
immigration policy. It has been re-
liably reported that If the immigration
law Of Is years ago had not been
passed, the population of the United
States would be about 18O million to-
day. One large insurance company
reports that the population Of the
United States by the year 1000 will
be around 200 million. A large uni
versity estimates our population will
be $50 or 800 million by the year 1000.

nF all the riddles and enigmas
~ wrapped up in the vast mystery
of the world behind the Iron Curtain,
none is more interesting g-and perhaps
none more signif1cant-than the fact
that the Soviet Union has set on only
three atomic explosions.
The first of these occurred late in
the summer of 1949. The second and
third took place in the fall Of 1851.
There have been no more since then.
At any rate. there has been no an
nouncement of a fourth or fifth, and
it is highly improbable. If not impos-
sible, that a fourth or a fifth could
have escaped official detection in the
outside world. Accordingly. unless our
own and other free governments are
withholding pertinent information to
the contrary land why should they?).
it is safe to assume that the Kremlin's
experimentation with A-weapons has,
been limited to the mere three blasts
already on record.
This is a truly remarkable statistic.
It is truly remarkable because it seems
puny when compared to the number Of
atomic explosions that our own country
has set of, and continues to set of. as
in the current Nevada series. Our first
the first ever detonated by man since
Eve tempted him to eat the forbidden
fruit Of "the tree of the knowledge of
good and eviP'-occurred in New Mexico
in July of 1945. It was followed less
than month later by two more. These
two were the fearsomely purpoSeful
bombs that shattered Hiroshima and
Nagasaki and persuaded a totally
numbed Japan to lay down its arms and
sign the instruments of surrender.
But that was merely the beginning.
American nuclear science has advanced
a long way since then. Wholly apart
from what 1t has done Git has done q
great deaD to harness the atom to
drive submarines and planes, and to
promote such things as revolutionary
medical advances and the development
of mighty new source Of industrial
power, the United States since WI day
especially since early 1951-has un-
dertaken very varied and very far
ranging program Of experiments with
A-weaponS. This program has been be-
yond compare thus far. Only two other
countries have succeeded in staging
similar tests up to now-Britain no
more than one, and Russia just three.
Described by our scientists as "nu-
clear diagnostic tests" "a gobbledygook
phrase that covers multitude of highly
significant meanings). our country's
postwar atomic experiments began in
mid-1946 with two spectacular explo-
sions (Which the Russians were invited
to see and hear) at Bikini Atoll in the
far Pacific. There then followed, in the
same area but in an atmosphere Of
strictest secrecy, three great blasts at

result many fine editorials were pub

In view of the present crimes Of to-
day and the so-called capers of teen
ayers in the Nations Capital, and the
many mothers saying it is just "kid
stuff" would like to point up my
recommendation in the statement of
the grand jury of october 3, 1919:
THAT parents make more strenuous
efforts to inculcate into their children
early the knowledge Of the difference
between right and wrong, so as to assist
society and the courts in their task
Of correction later on" =
I believe that careful training Of
young people in the home. schools and
churches during their adolescent years
will eliminate at least half Of the teen
age crimes in the United States.
With basis Of early training, in
subsequent years the individual will be
fortified with a background and char
acter to face the future. and become q
substantial law-abiding citizen.
I made several constructive recon-
lendationS-many Of which have been
adopted. Some Of the recommends
tions follow:
"That the fines, bonds, and prison
sentences set by the courts in criminal
cases be as severe as possible, commen-
surate with the crimes involved. We
feel that harsher treatment Of second
and third offenders would tend to deter
criminals from continuing their activi-
ties in the District and would lessen
potential possibilities of future crimes.
"a jurors time is valuable. He serves
at personal sacrifice, and anything the
courts can do to conserve his time
should be carefully considered. -"
"That the Congress appropriate
larger sums for the District, so that
the police force may be augmented and
the salaries Of police force members
made adequate to attract and hold
capable men to protect residents of
the Capital" H. Nelson Bliss.

Below Acceptable Standards

It would be deplorable if Secretary of Com
merce Weeks secured the resignation of DR..
Allen v. Astin as director of the Bureau of
Standards because new political administra-
ton wanted to put its own man in.
If that was the reason for Dr. Astins re-
moval, as Senator Tobey has intimated, then
Mr.. Weeks should say so. The dictatorship Of
the Bureau Of Standards has never been re-
garded as political plum. sound tradition
has placed the bureau beyond the reach of the
politicians. If the tradition Is broken, the
sooner we know about it from Secretary Weeks
the better.
If Mr.. Weeks has felt that Dr. Astin is
not competent adminiStrator-and there has
been no statement that he doeS-he would have
every right to remove him. In this case, how
ever, it would be only elemental justice to give
DR.. Astin opportunity to know the particulars
of his shortcomings and to defend himself. In
case of a marked disagreement, the advice OF
the bureaus Board of ViSitors-men who are
eminent in the field of Science-Should have
been sought. To advise the Secretary of Com
merce in such matters is the function of the
Board of Visitors But the board was ignored.
AS this case stands now, DR.. Astin and
the Bureau of Standards itself are the victims
of grave injustice. Both DR.. AStin and the
bureau have been smeared by implications,
with no chance to defend themselves against
suggestions of unprofesSional bias in the con-
duct of scientific investigation. The Federation
of American Scientists was wholly right in
protesting an incident which has been handled
by the Secretary of Commerce in a manner
that should be of concern to all scientists and
scientific bodies.
The matter should not be permitted to be
dropped. Secretary Weeks has publicly made
insinuations which he should support or with
draw.
