has seized upon Stevenson's
proposal to ban H-bomb tests
proves to me that the H-bomb
ban without inspections is to
Russia's advantage and not
ours. They must think we are
too far ahead for them to
catch up.
If Russia would return COM
plete independence to all the
countries within the Soviet
bloc. renounce its plan to de-
stroy our democracy and con-
centrate on Russia alone, then
maybe the world might find a
reason for demanding an end
to H-bomb tests.
I hope Bulganin's letter will
wake up the American people
to the danger of banning H
bomb tests.

When the Russians inject
themselves into an American
election. one can be sure it is
in their and not our interest.
Bulganin's strategy in offer
ing his unwanted and I'M
asked support to the Steven
son hydrogen bomb testing
proposal, must be transparent
to any thoughtful voter. 1t
certainly is not intended to
help Stevenson. 1t has every

the present administration
the Russians never had it so
good" They have been ex-
banding territory. prestige and
power all over the world with

Truman made them pay for
their gains. Not only have
the Republicans not been able
to stem the Russian tide. but
never before have United
States foreign relations been
so precariouS, our prestige so
on the wane, our world leader
ship so much in jeopardy.
Stevenson is a threat to the

believe the average citizen
is very well aware of the
double-minded policies exer-
cised by the Kremlin in recent
years. Russia talks peace and
love while looking for world
ribs to thrust her deadly knife
between. Honor, peace and
love are words high in the
kremlin's vocabulary, but alien
to a deceitful and treacherous
heart.
The present administration
has made efforts to bring about
a plan for honest and open
mutual inspections of atom and
hydrogen facilities and tests.
Russia has Just as vigorously
opposed such a fair and fool
proof plan.

The Star published. one

Bulganin. together with the
reply by President Eisenhower.
My reaction to this juxta-
position was independent OF
the news columns of the paper
and also OF the editorials I've
read since. Looking carefully
at the texts themselves. could
not help wondering the i'm
preston that would be made in
neutral nations where these
might be translated into the
local language and published
without comment.
Surely 1t would seem TO the
average reader that the Soviet
government had made a rea-
sonable. polite offer Of some
thing important. and that Mr..
Eisenhower's reply was an I'M
gracious rejection without con-
vincing reasons.
