Zorin Sees U. N. Debate
Leading Way to Accord

and the Russians maintained
that on some issues the nego-
tiators were more divided than
before. Canada is the fifth
subcommittee member.
Key Difference
A key difference between
Russia and the four Western
powers Is that the Russians
want an immediate. uncondi-
tional ban on nuclear tests. The
West wants tests banned only
as part Of q wider agreement
that also would limit the manu-
facture Of nuclear weapons.
Zorin was asked II recent
changes in Soviet leadership
may produce q more accommo-
dating attitude in the disarma-
ment and other negotiations.
The Russian diplomat re-
piled that basic Soviet policy
was determined by the 10th
Congress Of the Soviet Commu-
mist Party-a policy Of peace
full co-existence between all
peoples and the relaxation Of
international tensions"
He then added II would be-
q mistake to think such a
policy provides for "one-sided
concessions"
Mr.. zorin was interviewed
at the Soviet embassy with an
interpreter present. The Soviet
delegate appeared relaxed and
emphasized his points with fire.

He had not asked for submits

The Russian delegate was
asked II 1t we're true that the
Soviet claim TO an intercon-
tinental missile had influenced
his country's diplomacy toward
a sharper, more uncomprom-
ising tone.
THAT is q profound mistake"
he replied.

LONDON. Sept. z R).--So-
Wet Delegate Valerian Zorin
suggested today that debate in
the United Nations General
Assembly could clear the way
for an East-West disarmament
agreement.
Interviewed after the break
down on talks by the five
power subcommittee Of the
United Nations Disarmament
Commission, Mr.. Zorin was
asked how he believed the East
and West might move out Of
their deadlock.
He expressed hope that the
United States and other major
Western powers would recast
their disarmament policies
after hearing the views Of
member nations during the
General Assembly, which opens
September II.
He added that the Soviet
Union also was ready to listen
to the views expressed by other
countries.
Vests Turn Now
He declared. however, that
the Soviet Union had made
concessions and ut is now the
turn Of the West"
Mr.. Zorin asserted that the
Western powers had not made
a single concession Of substance
since the Russians submitted
their revised disarmament pro-
posals last April 80.
Deadlock will continue" he
said, "unless the Western pow
ers do modify their positions on
some Of the basic issues in dis
pute."

negotiations collapsed last night

What's the Rush.?

We share the Citizen Zoning Ad-
visory Committees confusion over the
strange note of urgency introduced by
Engineer Commissioner Lane in Washing
tons zoning revision.
The revision has reached the stage
where the city zoning commission must
decide whether to reject the controversial
Lewis coming proposals, or amend and
adopt them as the new coming code. 1t
has been generally understood that this
would be the critical stage for deliberate,
unhurried analysis by several groups.
including the citizens advisory COM
mittee. Suddenly, as zoning commission
chairman, General Lane has switched the
signals and ordered the committee to
submit any recommendations it has by
July /. What is the rush all about? II
there is some valid reason for quick
decision by the advisory group, General
Lane should give better one than is
available so far
He says, for example, that he doubts
there is anything new to be said about the
Lewis proposals. 1t is true, certainly, that
the citizen group violently opposed pro-
NISlOuS VI MI LEWIS preliminary IeNISlOIl
draft last year. 1t is unreasonable TO
believe this general reaction will change.
But it has been the hope that the ad-
viSers would perform valuable assistance
to the coming commission by detailed
critique of both the modified final Lewis
report and the extensive testimony reg
istered at the recent public hearings.
Unless the Lewis plan is strapped, or
adopted as is, wise compromise should
be the goal
General Lane also cited protests that
uncertainty over new coming has caused
severe descriptions in the business COM
munity But this situation has held for
more than two years. Surely, an ad-
ditional few months are Of little con-
sequence when measured against the
permanent stakes involved in a new
coming code.
The effect of General Lanes action is
to render valueless the major function
of large group of citizens appointed by
the Commissioners three years ago to
do job There can be no quarrel with
his desire to conclude the long zoning
controversy But his abrupt handling Of
the committee is hardly likely either to
accomplish that end or to stimulate
future citizen participation in solving
complex city problems.

Operation Dixie

The Republican Party continues to
act in dead earnest" about its projected
drive to build up strength and perhaps
win some additional congressional seats
in the South President Eisenhower on
at least two occasions has Endorsed the
effort and National Chairman Alcorn has
named a campaign director, Lee Potter of
Virginia, to command Operation Dixie"
1t is, Of course, perfectly logical exer-
else in party politics and there are GER
tain factors encouraging to the G. o. P.
Both in 1852 and 1856, for example,
the Eisenhower Nixon ticket broke the
traditional Democratic supremacy in the
South-carrying four States in the first
instance and taking five last year In
these recent years, the G. o. P has won
scattering of congressional seats in such
deep South States as Virginia. Florida,
North Carolina and Texas-plus others in
ordinarily Democratic border States In
creaSing industrializaiton of the South

closer than ever before to those normally
supported by the Republican Party Pop
ulation shifts from North to South, par
ticularly to such State as Florida. like
wise has brought added Republican votes
to the region. The possible emergence Of
a significant Negro vote-some time
also could contribute to this changing
picture.
In spite of these encouraging factors,
however, the obstacles to any broad and
permanent G. o. p breakthrough are
even greater The Eisenhower victories
were personal ones, not likely to be re-
peated by just any Republican presi-
Dental candidate. Southern Democratic
Congressman already are accommodating
themselves where necessary, to the inter-
eSts OF their new industries and new
populations. The regional influence ac-
quired through seniority of Democratic
Congressman provides persuasive argu-
ment against real operation of two

State election laws in some cases kill off
g. 0. P chances before they get of the
ground. And Republican support for civil
rights legislation, important to the party
In other sections, will not help 1t in the
South
In summary. the Republican drive
may bring some small gains-and there is
little, II anything, to be lost by the effort.
1t is not likely. however, that Operation
Dixie will mean party Dixie in the
near future.

Safety Is Paramount

One of our readers, In letter to The
Star, charged that financial benefit"
rather than public safety motivated eff
forts of this newspaper, the Washington
Board Of Trade and District of Columbia
business to obtain close-in airport for
the Nations Capital. In making this
charge, the reader overlooked or ignored
the fact that it is Northern Virginia, not
Washington, which stands to gain the
real financial benefit" from a second
airport at Burke or elsewhere in nearby
Virginia.
II is matter Of record that the
Board of Trade for many years has
stressed aviation safety as the paramount
consideration in tho movement for an
other local air terminal And the fact
is that the Washington business commu-
nifty will derive only indirect benefits from
an airport located outside the District
of Columbia. Virginia, on the other hand,
will gain from the Burke project val
liable new source Of tax revenues, an out
cropping of new businesses to serve the
terminal, its patrons and employees, and.
II the old and new airports are taken
over by a State airport authority, es-
timated profits eventually running into
millions
There is no denying the fact that
adequate airport facilities are an asset
TO any city and a stimulant to trade.
However, the main pressure for the Burke
airport has come from the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, which has no
interest in promoting local business but
which does have strong interest in
safeguarding the public against the perils
of an overcrowde1 airport. The Star
shares the CAA's concern over the dan
gcrous congestion at Gravelly Point and
VIC intend to continue plugging for a
second Washington airport at Burke or
wherever the CAA and other competent
authorities agree II should be placed.
