Russians Will Stand Firm
On Banning A-Bomb Use

Iegate) told the United Nations
Disarmament Subcommittee In
London of the first necessity
to ban the use of nuclear weap-
ons before any first-step agree
ment on suspending nuclear tests
can be agreed upon. But on
June IA, Mr.. zorin did not men,
ton the ban on use of nuciear
weapons when he made his pro-
posal for a two or three year
moratorium on nuclear tests
with inspection inside the So
WET Union.
Is it your understanding. Mr.
Ambassador. that the Soviet
Union still insists on a declara-
ton banning the use of nucleal
weapons before any first-ster
isarm a ment agreement il
signed?
Mr.. zaroubin: Yes.
Question: You are, of course
familiar with Mr.. Zorin's long
speech before the disarmament
subcommittee on this declaration
about pledging not to use nucleai
weapons? 1t was made June 5
Mr.. Zaroubin: Yes and 1 un.
derstand we still hold that view
Question: Do you not think
this one point could be enough
to torpedo the disarmament
talks?
Mr.. Zaroubin with a smilel
Yes, it could.
Question: Is it not your under
standing that banning nucleal
weapons would leave the Soviet
Union with much superior forces
since its conventional forces are
stronger than ours?
Mr.. zaroubin with another
smile): Yes.
Issue Not Negotiable
Question: Is it your under
standing the Soviet demand for
banning the use of nucleaI
weapons is negotiable? (Here Mr.,
zaroubin had difficulty under
standing what was meant by
negotiable. The question was re-
phraSed several times to get the
meaning across - to inquire
whether the Soviet might later
withdraw the demand.)
Mr.. Zaroubin: 1t is not my
understanding that my govern
ment would withdraw this point.
Question: What is your under
standing of the amount of in
Spection that would be needed
to verify that nuclear tests have
been stopped? 1t is my under
standing that Mr.. Zorin said your
government is willing to permit
the use of seismographs and

dor Zaroubin made these points:
/. The Soviet Union still
stands by its demand for a dec

powers, Britain, the United
States and the Soviet Union
promising not to use nucleal
weapons.
2. He realizes, and presumably
his government realizes, that the
current disarmament talks coulo
be frustrated completely on this
point.
3. Soviet non-nuclear forces
are superior to American anc
free-world non-nuclear forces.
1. The demand for a ban or
use Of nuclear weapons is moi

New fashion treatments ele-

Nosser's Opportunity

Despite ISraePS withdrawal from the
GAIA Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba area
the latest news from the Middle East is
not reassuring. Egypt, it seems, is in a
mood to drive very hard bargains and
some observers feel that its policy may
turn out to be even less promising than
that.
Certainly, although pesSimism may
be premature, it is discouraging to note
that President Nasser has just made
speech suggesting that he still clings to
the idea that Israel must be DESTROYED.
At the same time, in addition to the pro-
Egyptian mob demonstration against the
United Nations Emergency Force in the
GAIA Strip, there have been strong indi-
cations that Cairo will Q) refuse to &C
cept reasonable compromise arrange
ments for operating the Suez Canal and
(2) persist in exercising so-called "bellig-
erent rights" to prevent Israeli shipping
from entering not only the canal but also
the Gulf of Aqaba
If these signs may be taken at face
value, then the world has little reason to
expect an early end to tension in the Mid
die East. For if President NasSer refuses
to be conciliatory or cooperative, If he is
determined instead to try debating his
own terms to all parties concerned, crisis
will remain the order of the day. More
than that, there will be dissolution Of
the assumptions" that persuaded Israel
with heavy pressure from our own
Government = to withdraw completely
from Egyptian soil. The chief of these
assumptions" has been that Cairo favors
peaceful solutions, that it does not want
to defy the overwhelming majority of the
U. ~, and that it is willing to abide by
what the international Court may have
to say as regards Israeli shipping in the
Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aqaba.
So it is President Nasser's RESPONSE
bility, and his opportunity as well. to
respond accordingly 1t is his RESPONSE
bility for the simple reason that he owes
1t to the peoples of the Middle East to do
everything he can to promote peace there.
And 1t is his opportunity because, by
acting in spirit of good will, and with
the craftsmanship that the situation calls
for, he can add luster to his name with
deeds making possible a bright new era
OF political and economic progress both
1or MS own country and all its neighbors.
This opportunity is so real and so
obvious that the world still has reason to
hope, regardless of current discourage
mentS, that President NaSSer will rise to
the occasion. He can fail to do SO only
at the risk of gravely upsetting the cause
of peace in the Middle East.

Influential Booster

Leonard Hall has at least one potent
hacker II he decides to seek. the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor of New
York in 1858. PRESIDENT Eisenhower ex-
pressing his gratitude for the New York.
er'S services as Republican National
Chairman, has assured him publicly that
he'll have one booster # he decides to
make the race. Actually, as the President
noted in his remarks before a party
honoring Mr.. Hall, the latter has not
made his political plans known publicly
or perhaps even privately. There are
indications that Mr.. Hall himself has not
decided whether to bid for the New York
Office, or how best to prepare for such
bid in the more than a year remaining
before the State nominating convention.
The President undoubtedly would
appoint Mr.. Hall to any suitable Federal
post If the latter wants such an assign
ment. But Mr.. Hall, a former member
OF Congress from New York, has a law
office on Long Island. He may feel that
being back in the State in law practice
would be more advantageous politically
than a Federal job. The G. o. P. State
leadership has not committed itself on
a choice of candidate to run against
Democratic Governor Hartman, and two
prominent Republicans in Albany are
believed interested in the candidacy for
themselves. Thus, We suppose that Mr..
Halls apparent indecision reflects an
experienced respect for the dangers in
herent in getting too far out in front
too soon.

Britain, the Atom and Us

Britain has undertaken a uniquely
ambitious program in deciding to equip
itself with 90 atomic plants designed to
produce million kilowatts of electricity
by 1865. The decision represents TRIPPING
OF the goal set a couple of years ago, and
1t dwarfs anything of it's kind now envi-
stoned in other countries. including Rus
STA and the United States.
According to present estimates, this
immense project-which will require a
tremendous effort If 1t is to be completed
within the next eight years-will cost
the British about SIS billion. But the
planned atomic plants, once they are all
operating, will take care of approx
mately sixth Of the country's total
anticipated demand for industrial power,
and they will permit an annual saving
OF 18 million tons of coal that would
otherwise be consumed by conventional
generating plants.
So the proposed investment of SIS
billion promises to pay rich dividends.
In any event, unlike the United States
and other nations still blessed with an
abundance of regular fuels, Britain is
driven by powerful incentives to harness
the atom as fast as it can and on as
large scale as poSSible-and to do 1t,
moreover, at costs competitive with con-
ventional sources Of energy. These incen-
tives, of course, spring from such facts
as the following: (1) The British have
no water for hydroelectric development;
(2) they must import huge quantities OF
oil from the politically uncertain Middle
East, where Colonel Nasser has shown
how tankers can be kept from moving
through the Suez Canal; and (3) their
coal, which Is practically their only natu-
raj resource, has fallen in output to
point where they must purchase large
amounts of 1t from countries abroad
an expenditure they can i'll afford.
In these circumstances, it is not sur
prising that Britain, with necessity spur
ring 1t on, has decided to lose no time
in exploiting the atoms power potentials
to the full. The action sets a good ex
ample for countries similarly lacking in
conventional fuel, and it should help
to speed up benign nuclear developments
throughout the world thus promoting
the cause of peace with competitive
race aimed at making this great new
source of energy the servant of man
rather than his destroyer.
Our own countrys official policy in
this race is designed not so much to
build lot of atomic plants (Which we
do not really need right now as to main
tain American supremacy IN nuclear
technology and reactor development. But
some experts argue that we may lose
whatever leadership We have unless we
do a good deal more in actual power

Polish Aid

We do not know why Senator Know
land has chosen to attack a possible
Polish aid program as being the fore
runner of Communist Marshall Plan"
for Eastern Europe. For such a plan
would be eminently worthwhile if it could
be as successful in reScuing the Eastern
European states from communism as the
Marshall Plan was in saving Western
Europe from the Communists.
Polish delegation is negotiating
with the State Department for American
farm SURPRISES and loans with which to
buy American farm and mining machin-
cry. It has been estimated that this would
amount to $500 million over a two-year
period.
Aside from the cost, Senator Know
lands main objection seems to be that
American aid to Poland would relieve the
Soviet Union of the burden of supporting
its own satellite. This may be true, but
it is an argument which must be APP
praised in the light of the possible alter
natives. And the only alternative we can
see is a policy of no aid, which would
leave the Poles totally dependent on
Russia or drive them to desperate and
futile revolt.
1t seems to us that this is another
case in which the judgment of the re-
sponSible administration officials should
be trusted. 1t is certain that the Polish
people and it is probable that the Polish
government would like to follow in the
path of Tito and break away from sub
servience to Moscow. If an American aid
program will accelerate this trend it may
well be desirable project to undertake.
But it is absurd for Senator Knowland
to suggest that the Polish government
must demonstrate its independence be-
fore qualifying for American aid If any
appreciate independence comes to Poland
it will come slowly and by degrees To
insist now on some spectacular gesture
of independence would merely be to
invite the Russians to march in and
re-enact the butchery of Hungary.

A Costly Old Mistake

IL was costly economy move which
led to the combining In Washington's
original sewer system of storm-water
drainage and sewage disposal. The saving
then may have been considerable, but IL
has proved to be false economy in the
long run. For the combined system has
presented the grownup city with a pol
luton problem that could be solved
satisfactorily only by the expenditure of
more than 5000 million. And the city
cannot afford any such expensive sewer
project In the foreseeable future.
The estimated cost of separating the
storm sewers and sewage lines was given
by District Sanitary Engineer Aud before
the Washington Society of Engineers. He
pointed out that as long as the dual
purpose system remains In operation raw
sewage will flow into the Potomac River
every time there is a heavy rain This
is because there are number of overflow
outlets along our waterfront that act
as relief valves" for the overloaded sys-
tenn when storms send surface water
into the sewers. This situation prevails
In most Of the downtown section To
build an entirely separate sewer system
in this congeSted area would be a truly
gigantic engineering task.
An alternative that would amelio-
rate conditions at considerably less cost
would be to construct an interceptor
sewer line along the shore of the river,
through which overflows could be COL
lected and conveyed to the sewage-treat-
ment plant at Blue Plains. This plan is
worth considering IN connection with
some future public works program for
the District. The money thus spent would
be an investment in cleaner and
more healthful Potomac River.
