Donpens Geneva Hopes

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Oct. % tR.-Russia's insistenct
on old positions appeared here
today to doom any disarmament
agreement at the Geneva Big
Four meeting.
Diplomats described the Soviet
stand in the Disarmament Com
mission yesterday as showing
clearly the Russians have moi
moved q step toward agreement
with the West on inspection,
control and actual disarmament
moves after nearly q year OF
new talks.
One diplomat said the Soviet
program set forth in proposals
May 10 and repeated at the Big
Four summit meeting last July
insures a long. indefinite post
ponement Of any step toward
disarmament. Under these pro-
posals. the powers would have
to agree on a complete program,
including atomic weapon pro-
hibition. before even a FIRST step
could be accomplished.
More Definite Reply
United States Secretary Of
State Dulles and President Eli
senhower's disarmament envoy,
Harold E. Stassen. might be able
to get the Russians to give at
Geneva a more definite answer
than they have given here so far
on the Eisenhower open sky
proposals. These would set the
disarmament ball rolling by ar
exchange between Russia and
the United States on aerial in
spection of defense plants In
each others countries.
The United States has said
the first effect would be to aver,
surprise attack by either Of the
two atomic giants. It sees the
second effect as Installing con-
fidence so that other countries
could join in, then move on to
agree what kind Of controls
everybody would accept for the
final disarmament plan.
The Russians answers to these
proposals have never been clear,
Geneva may bring the answer to
Mr.. Eisenhower's latest sugges-
ton that the Soviet plan for
ground inspection teams could
be included as o starter. al
though the West considers this
feature inadequate by itself.
The Disarmament Commission
meeting yesterday, called on So
Wet urging. occupied itself with
swapping Soviet Delegate Ar
kady Sobolev's demands that the
commission and the General
Assembly debate disarmament
while the Big -Four foreign min
listers were doing the same thing
in Geneva.

Peipind and Mr. HommorskioId

1t should come as no great surprise that
Secretary General Dag Hammarskiold Of the
United Nations has not succeeded IN his
initial effort to persuade Red China to agree
to the prompt release of the IL American
airmen who. have been jailed over there on
"truniped up" espionage charges. After all,
considering Peiping's propaganda position
on this issue, he would have accomplished
q miracle Of sorts had he been able to win
such an agreement at the present juncture,
and the fact that he has not done so is not
necessarily q sign that his mission has been
a complete failure.
on the contrary, although disappoint-
ingly vague and ambiguous, the joint COM
munique issued by Mr. HammarskJold and
Premier Chou En-lai declares that both OF
them "feeP that their Peiping talks have
been useful" Further, 1t expresses the
hope that there will be continuation OF
"the contact established in these meetings"
OF course, words being what they are, this
may mean much or 1t may mean nothing.
But It at least suggests that the Secretary
Generals trip has not been entirely fruit
less, that some measure of progress has been
made. and that additional negotiating
efforts may lead in due course to the release
of the IL Americans and other prisoners Of
war wrongfully detained by the Chinese
Communists.
However, even though moderately
hopeful view may thus be justified, there
will be no way of making an adequate
assessment of the situation until Mr.. Ham
marskjold reports upon it in detail. Mean
while, despite the fact that hoping for the
best can do no harm, 1t must be said that
surface events offer precious little reason
for optimistic expectations In connection
with Red China's conduct as regards either
the prisoner issue or anything else. And this
seems the more true because the Peiping
propagandists have marked the conclusion
of the Chou -Hammarskjold talks (which
incidentally touched on questions pertinent
to the relaxation of world tension") by cut
ting loose with one of their most virulent
and most belligerant attacks to date on the
"warmongering" United States.
Clearly, this new anti-American propa-
ganda assault casts great deal Of doubt on
the possibility that Red China may really
be interested in working out reasonable,
peace promoting agreements of any kind.
Mr.. Hammarskjold, when he submits his
report to the U. NJ, may be able to show
degree of progress in that direction, but the
Mao Tze-tung regime is acting as If it were
intent chiefly upon riling up our country
and increasing the tensions that breed war.

tween them.
THE Professor = one would say, has
found new piece of wood"
That was what he would say. but he
really meant old wood.
What the Professor was building
that morning was built-in bookcase
to be put between the fireplace and
the front door.
The builder should have done it,
IN the first place, but so many people
do not have books nowadays that he
had not done so.
IF they want bookcases" the build
er had said. "they can get them put in.
The last family sold house to with
bookcases had them taken out irn-
mediately."
The professor. naturally. loved his
books, and especially loved 70 think
