With or Without Them

Secretary OF State Dulles mas done well IN
having Ambassador Bohlen call on Foreign
Minister Molotov in an effort to speed up action
on President Eisenhower's proposal for private
talks aimed at establishing an international
atomic pool for non-milftary purposes The
Kremlin has declared it's readiness to take part
in such talks, but it has not expressed its views
on how and when it would like to have them
take place, and until it does so the whole
project will hang fire.
AS explained in his historic December
address to the United Nations General Assem-
bly,, the President wants the proposed discus
sionS to be held as soon as possible by "the
powers principally concerned" He has not
suggested any specific date, however; nor has
he voiced preferences as to the precise compo-
sition or mechanics of the talks. All he has
advocated is that they should be private and
confidential (at least in the initial phase and
that they should include the Soviet Union. His
proposition in that sense Is a flexible one. If
the Kremlin so desires, for example, there can
be preliminary meetings between the Russians
and ourselves to lay the groundwork for null
tilateral parley behind closed doors-a parley
that could be staged either within the frame
work of the 12-nation U. N. Disarmament Com
mission or in the form of special conference
limited to countries that have uranium resources
or an ability to produce fashionable materials.
Presumably, as result of Mr.. Bohlen's
visit Mr.. Molotov will soon clarity the Kremln'S
position on this matter In any event, our
Government has in effect now put it up to the
Russians to make the next move in terms Of
doing something specific about the Presidents
proposal. The world must hope that they will
respond favorably, for If they do, IL they show
a genuine desire for constructive action, then
it should be possible for "the powers principally
concerned" to achieve definite progress toward
converting the projected atomic pool into an
operating reality-a reality potentially capable
Of making tremendous contributions to the
health and economic betterment Of all man
kind. Further, by thus joining together to har-
ness fashionable materials for peaceful work,
the nations chiefly involved would be likely to
generate fresh climate of international good
will, and they might well acquire habit of
corporation sufficiently strong to pave the
way, eventually, for truly effective control
system putting an end to the terrible threat of
nuclear warfare.

The Taft-Hartley labor law is a start
in the right direction but it lacks teeth
enough to control labor's monopolistic
practices.
The unions deserve credit for getting

they should not go beyond that.

Eisenhower's idea wither away for want Of
action. II that is not their intention they can
prove it readily enough-and the sooner the
better-by firmly committing themselves to join
in near-future talks on the subject. Lacking
that then the United States and other inter-
ested powers will have good reason to try
organizing the proposed atomic pool without
Soviet participation Certainly it is a project
full of so many excellent potentialities that
nobody's mo" should be allowed to kill it of.

HeIium Monopoly
To Private Industry
BY III. A.soeiaisd Pres.

The Government may seek to
turn over to private industry
the almost complete monopoly in
helium production it has operated
for more than 80 years.
Secretary of the Interior Nc
Kay announced last night his
approval of that and other rec
concentrations made by a. f1ve-
man survey team for a major re-
organization of the Bureau Of
Mines. He directed that in so
far as possible, the 80 recon-
mendations be put in effect with
In six months. Many dealt with
organizational details Of the bu-
reau.
They included also sugges-
lions that the Government get
out of commercial production of
titanium and chromium, which
like helium are extremely impor-
tant In the defense program.
Export Controlled.
The Government has been
producing helium since 1922. 1t
stepped in at a time when the
inert. nonexplosive gas was used
principally to initiate dirigibles,
then considered a potentially
important war weapon. Export
of the gas has been strictly con-
trolled ever since.
Following several major disas-
tiers. the huge gas bags faded out
of the aviation picture but new
defense uses were found for
helium and an estimated IS per
cent of the available supply still
Is used in Government con-
tracts. Most of that amount is
bought directly by Government
agencies at cost.
A principal commercial use is
In inert gas shielded arc welding.
Helium is used both in the pro-
duction and in the welding OF
titanium, and some defense uses
are secret for security reasons.
Record Output Last Year.
Helium is produced from nat
ural gas in Government-owned
plants at Amarillo and Excl,
Tex; Shiprock, N. Mex, and
Otis, Kans. A record produc-
ton last year reached 156 mill
lion cubic feet, compared with a
peak of 1877 million cubic feet
during one World War II year.
With demand close to the
maximum possible supply from
existing facilities, President
Eisenhower last month asked
Congress to vote Sc million for
additional production facilities.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee approved SIS million, but
the House and Senate have not
acted.
The Helium Act of 1887 spe-
officially authorizes the Govern
ment to produce the gas, but
does not bar private production.
Interior Department officials
said they were not certain
whether congressional .legisla-
ton would be required to permit
sale or private operation Of the
Government-owned plants.

Serge Koussevitsky was q
man Of strong opinions, who
clung stubbornly to his mu-

In Russia, he went into

Knowing how irlsistent he
was on having his own way,
they hesitated before join
ing the venture. However,
Koussevitsky assured them
that their opinions would be
respected.
Shortly after the company
was formed. q young musi-
clan named Stravinsky sub
mitted a manuscript. Kous-
sevitsky was enthusiastic.
DUE the others didn't think
much Of 1t and turned it
down. KoussevitSky hit the

To respond with a free bid in
o new suit at the one level you
should have at least a trick and
q half in high cards and a fair
tive-card suit. With only a four
card suit you need q little more
In high cards.
How much do YOU need for d
free bid Of two in q new s1it?'
Well, this depends on whether
your suit Is lower or higher in
rank than partners suit.
If it is lower, then obviously
partner can rebid his suit at the
two range. For this situation
you should have a fairly good
five-card suit and at least an
average hand in high cards: a
little more in high cards If your
suit Is a four -carder.
If your suit is higher in rank
than partners so that he will
have to come in at the three
range just to make a simple
rebid in his suit, than you should
have the equal Of a good. sound
opening bid.
So, In responding, it is not
enough merely to count your
points or figure your honor
tricks, depending on which
method you use. You must also
look ahead and try to determine
what your bid will "do,.' to part
ner, who may have a rock-bot-
tom minimum opening bid.
In today's deal, reverse Mrs.
Keen's club and diamond hold
ings and assume that Mr.. Dale
had opened the bidding with q
club. In that case, she would not
have had enonugh for free bid
after Mr.. Champions overcall.
AS the hand was actually bid,
Mrs. Keen felt she had shown
absolutely all she had when she
made a free bid Of two clubs.
Therefore when Mr.. Dale made a
simple rebid of two diamonds,
she promptly retired from the
bidding. fs.sF
With the queen of hearts right
and the trumps divided 3-3, the
cards did not lie too badly for
MIR. Dale. Even so he had to
sweat 1t out to make his con-
tract. He ended up losing three
lspades, a dimaond and club.

The Russians put a slogan

echoed ad nauseam from New
Delhi to London, from Paris to
Timbuctoo. into the word SEQ
existence" those who hope for
peace have read associations
that are not implicit in the
word, either in Russian or its
English equivalent.
1t implies no suggestion of
mutual interest or reciprocity.
If it means anything at all,
it is an invitation from Russia
to NATO not to launch a war
against each other. But mas
much as the u. S. S. r. denies
the right of West Germany to
enter NATO, "co-existence"
barring wars between great
powers draws a line at the
Rhine. and, apparently, none
at all in Asia.
We recall the Munich Pact,
which was one of "co-exist-
ence" between great powers. In
that pact. Nazi Germany,
Great Britain and France
agreed not to go to war against
each other. The pact. how
ever, did not pledge the sigma
tories not to war against any
one else. The Nazis then at
tackled Poland. The Munich
Pact thus meant: Let us three
"co-exist," agreeing never to
fight each other. while I, Hit
Ter, am free to do what I like
anywhere else, and protected
by "co-existence," so increase
my strength that eventually
you others will "co-exist" on
my terms.
Now, it seems to me. this is
just what the Russians mean
by "co-existence":: We Rus
slams promise not to attack

promise not to attack. or alb
sorb into your defense system

leave Germany a defenseless

A growing array Of we'll
financed right wing forces is
trying to capture President
Eisenhower's political army
and set up rival command
posts in Congress.
Their aim is to make it
impossible for him to win his
next foreign policy objective;
which is some kind of nego-
tiated peace.
The right wing weapon is
propaganda. With 1t they hope
to confuse the issue, make
negotiated peace-or any sub
stitute phrase for ia dirty
word and scare the President
out Of actions now contem-
plated.
The newest of the right wing
groups is Ten Million Ameri-
cans Mobilizing for Justice. 1t
has what in the financial
world would be called inter-
locking directorateS with For

alton of Col. r. r. McCor-

not directly attack the Presi-
dent. They are also much too
