There was also a hope, Of course

Wolfson told The Star he was read,

The key to CTC's dilemma lay i
the size of the future fare in
crease or increases. Capital Tran
sit needed Just a little hint In orde
to make choice.
When it talked to the Commits
sioners yesterday on the basis of &.
contract with the city. the company
was told it could have this fare in
crease: 20 cents cash, Decent to-
kens and 85-cent permits. The
company said that was not enough.
The District Commissioners late
last night then acceded to the COM
pany request for a 90-cent permit.
That looked good to Capital Transit.
Meanwhile a closer reading of
the new transit law convinced all
persons concerned that the District
Commissioners would have hand
in fixing a fare boost whether or
not the company signed an agree
ment with the city. So the final
offer by the District Commissioners.
which was based on a recommended
ton by the p. U. c., became the
new fare rate.
In other words, the company
could forget its first worry that to
settle directly with the union would
make a fare boost an uncertain
thing.
So CTC decided to deal only with
the union. avoiding further formal

Disclosures of new or approach
ing wonders Of the atomic age we're
so numerous and they followed
one another so quickly at Geneva
last week that most Of the world
gave up trying to assimilate them
all.
The one obvious impression left
after the two-week conference
which ended yesterday is that life

atomic energy are not cut short
by atomic war.
For instance, the worlds supply
Of energy fuels, once cause for
worry about depletion. now appears
to be virtually endless. Uranium

are relatively abundant. The world
can convert to atomic power before
coal and oil resources are exhausted.
For backward countries there
was the prospect Of q relatively
swift movement into the industrial
field with the advent Of cheap
atomic power. There will still be
a period of CESSATION, while I'M

an unprecedented pace.
Less Secrecy?
One curious development at &C.
neva may well pull down the veil
Of secrecy behind which scientists
have worked in the first atomic
decade. When the top physicists
got around to comparing their Sc
crets last week, they found that
each Of the countries. working in
complete isolation. had Travelled al
most identical paths and were at
the same general level Of knowl-
edge. Soviet scientists were some
way behind in putting their theo-
retical knowledge into use, because
the Soviet technology is still behind
the Vests. But they were seldom
found to have completely over
looked any important potentiality
Of the atom.
One of the tasks for the weeks
and months ahead will be to- coll

material made available at Geneva

Clever Scheme
One cynic remarked last week
that Hitler and Mussolini and Sta

clever treaty junking scheme.
Whatever its long-range imph-
cations. however. Mr.. Dulles dis
closure does seem to be a tip on
how the United States wants to
proceed in ousting the NNSC teams.
The Korean armistice was signed
by representatives of the United
Nations and of the Communist
Chinese and North Koreans. It is
unlikely that the Communist side
would agree to any revision of the
armistice to abolish the misc. To

Another Incident
Communists in North Korea pro-
vided another timely reminder last
week that the cold war isn't over.
Their antiaircraft guns shot down
an unarmed American jet trainer
near the demilitarized zone. The
Reds withheld all information
about the pilot and passenger in
the plane, which came down in Red
territory.
u. N. Command officials labeled
the attack "barbarous" and de-
manded that the two downed flyers
be returned Immediately. Appar-
emily the North Koreans hadn't got
their instructions from Moscow and
Peiping. for there was no word OF

= Premier Nehru hotly condemned
the Portuguese for firing on nom
violent Indian demonstrators in
Gao. On Thursday he announced
a ban on all money remittances
and transmission Of valuable arti-
cles to Goa. He apparently hopes
to put the squeeze on Indians who
now make their home there.
Meanwhile, inside India the Goa
problem became as big polit-
ical issue as Kashmir or any other
that has faced the eight-year-old
nation. Mobs rioted in Bombay
and Calcutta protesting the Portu-
guese shootings. Indian police were
themselves forced to shoot into the
demonstrators, wounding at least
26 in Bombay alone.
The mobS vented their spleen
mainly on foreign missions in Bonn
bay and Calcutta. British, Pakis-
TAM and Portuguese properties
were all said to have been attacked.
Premier Nehru promptly apologized
to the embassies involved and vol
unteered to- pay damages.
India has two aims in its marches
on Goa: first, to bring international
pressure on Portugal to get out;

PRISONERS
Code Of Conduct
For Cuptives Issued
After Lone Study

The lot Of the prisoner OF war
since the beginning Of recorded
! history has not been happy one.
In Biblical times q POW was
killed-frequently by torture or
enslaved for life. That remained the
custom almost everywhere in the
world until the Middle Ages. when
warrior knights began TO show each
other a little leniency when the
battle was over. In the 18th cen
tury it gradually began to be
understood that q prisoner should
be kept alive during the fighting
and returned to his home when
the war was over.
Even in the American Civil War.
however. there were few accepted
standards of treatment for POWs.
Both North and South were fire.
quently brutal and callous in their
prisoner camps.
It wasn't until 1874 that group
of nations drew up the first inter-
national code Of rights for prison.
ers-a code rather quickly for
gotten.
The Hague Regulations Of 1907
represented a significant step for
ward for the POWs. however. Its
rules kept many prisoners reason
ably safe and comfortable during
World War l. The Geneva Conven-
tions of 1929 did the same for
World War II prisoners in Europe.
though German and Russian treat
ment Of POWs left much to be
desired.
Koreon-Born Change
But when the Korean war hit,
the lot of the POW slipped back
ward several centuries. Commu-
mist officials assumed a right to
torture and kill prisoners, make
them perform traitorous acts and
hold them in captivity after the
war was over.
Most captured Americans were
bewildered. by their harsh treat
ment. Some aided the enemy vol
unfairly: some were broken physi-
cally and mentally and forced to
serve Communist ends.
When Korea PoWs came home,
some were punished for what they
had done in captivity. and some
were not. The general impression
has been that the Marines and
Army were tougher on their men
than the Air Force was, but Penta-
gon authorities say this was not
the case.
In any event, the war and Its
aftermath spotlighted a crying
need for re-examination Of Ameri-
can policy on POWs.
Code of Conduct
The new policy was made public
last week. And the Code Of Con-
duct" the heart of the policy, was
made official for members Of the
armed forces by presidential order.
The policy was drawn up by
commission of military men and
civilians in the Defense Department.
They received the advice Of scores
of persons-former prisoners. doc
tors. psychologists, religious leaders,
educators, etc.
The policy boiled down to this:
American fighting men must resist
the enemy to the utmost, but 1t is
recognized that every man has his
breaking point.
In its report, the commission
made 1t clear that the policy was
nothing revolutionary. Rather 1t
was a codification Of existing prac-
tees.
From now on a soldier is ordered
specifically to resist capture as long
as he has the means, to try to
escape II he is captured, to give no

again the Importance Of arms in
spection If trust between the major
powers is to be restored.
Proof Still Needed
For even II Moscow makes impress
sive concessions in the political field
--acquiescence in the tinification Of
Germany, for instance-the West
still could not afford to let down
its guard If it had no definite proof
that the Soviet Unions vast mill
tary establishment was actually be-
ing dismantled.
Retiring Chief Of Naval Opera
ton Admiral Robert B. Carney put
UP another go Slow" sign last week
with a reminder that the Soviet
Union is steadily reducing the Vests
naval superiority.
Two important tests of the Reds
latest peace offensive are scheduled
for the next three weeks. The first
one comes q week from tomorrow
when the United Nations Disarma-
ment Subcommittee meets in New
York. American Delegate Harold
E. Stassen is now putting the finish
ing touches on a new and impress
sive plan, incorporating many Soviet
ideas, but streSsing the one point
which no Kremlin government has
yet been willing to accept: The need
for q really effective inspection SyS-
TEN.
The second test is due September
8, when West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer goes to Moscow
to discuss q resumption of diplo-
matte, economic and cultural 'rela-
tons with the USSR. DR.. Adenauer
has indicated he will probe the
Kremlin for some measure of pros
poets for reunification Of free Ger
many with Communist East Ger
many.
October Decision
A third opportunity to Judge the
Reds peace drive--on a more COM
prehensive scale-will come october
81, when the Big Four foreign min
listers meet in Geneva to follow
through on their chiefs meeting of
July 1924. That will be the "acid
test" in President Eisenhower's
words.
If in these conferences the Reds
still spurn a genuine arms inspec-
ton system, the Kremlin's sincerity
will be open to grave suspicion. It
will be time for the American peo-
pie to make good on what President
Eisenhower said of them in his
dramatic Summit" speech to the
Russians:
1.-THE American people are de-
termined to maintain and II
necessary increase their 20.
armed strength for as long
period as is necessary to safe I
guard peace and to maintain our
security"
The United States will also have
to resist a tendency to relax that
was showing up in Europe last
week. There were rumors that NATO
allies were thinking of cutting their
arms budgets. Such moves may be-
come increasingly hard to stop If
the Soviet Union is allowed to con-
tinue its peace offensive full force
without having to prove its sin
cerity.
