Caribbean:
Some Gains

The foreign ministers Of the
Organization Of American States
last Tuesday wound up their ex-
traordinary meeting in Santiago,
Chile, called to discuss the unrest
in the Caribbean.
Nobody is claiming any startling
gains as a result Of the six-day
parley. although the usual GAS
unanimity appeared when the
formal resolutions, including those
aimed at relationships and those
supporting the key principal Of
non-intervention, were voted.
Most observers took the view that
no harm and possibly some good
was done.
The ministers solution to their
major problem-how to halt the
series of recent 'invasions" in
the Caribbean-was to put their
faith in the restraining effects of
public opinion. The spotlight will
be the principal weapon.
The Inter American Peace
Commission was busted of and
given new, temporary authority.
It will investigate trouble areas.

Probe of 'Invusions'

The GAS meeting in Santiago
was called In the wake Of Cuba
mounted "invasions" Of Panama,
Nicaragua and the Dominican Re-
public. Whether Mr.. Castro would
allow q commission team to enter
Cuba is, Of course, a matter Of con-
lecture. He could make the ques-
ton academic by dropping his
self-appointed role as liberator Of
dictator-trodden peoples.
If there hasn't been enough
turmoil in the Caribbean in re-
cent months, Haiti last week
flirted with more. The govern
ment ousted two Roman Catholic
priests, white French citizens,
and when Archbishop Francois
Poirier protested. his arrest was
ordered.
A Vatican spokesman let 1t be
known that any Haitian govern
ment officials involved in the
action who are Catholics may
incur accommodation If the
archbishop is arrested without
good reason" Less than "a hours
later, the order for the arrest was
Cancelled. Haiti, like all coun-
tries in Latin America. is pre-
dominantly Catholic.
The week produced one quieting
note: Former Cuban Dictator Full
gencio Batista was given asylum
by Portugal. He few out of the
Dominican Republic where he had
holed UP since being overthrown
by the Castro-led rebels. He will
live on the Island of Madeira.

Mr.. Dahl. considered one Of the
worlds top authorities on civil de-
tense, differs strongly with certain
United States proponents Of q ''key

wartime. He claims that there Is

THE same uncertainty calls for
q complete system Of shelters. Not

know what is necessary. II we
have not prepared for every pos
sible contingency. it will be too
late to make the choice"
Comparing the Danish and
American systems, Mr.. Dahl be-
lieves, sis almost impossible. Con-
ditions are too different. The
United States faces the greatest
and most complicated problems
in modern civil defense. The in
dustrial war machine of the west
ern world is there. It is not pro-
tected."
One reason for Denmark's en-
phasis on adequate defense is e
lesson learned from World War I.
Danish foreign policy had con-
centrated on being neutral since
Denmark was badly defeated by
Germany a hundred years ago
and lost the provinces Of Schles-
wig and Holstein.
During Hitler's rise, Danish on
Gals refrained from German criti-
cisn and the army was kept at
a 10th Of its potential. Instead of
getting the protection of neu-
trality, Denmark was quickly and
humiliatingly subjugated.

No Mere Coincidence

One key item in the State De-
partment's assessment Of Soviet
role in the new crisis involves the
recent month-long visit Of Ho Chi
Mini, the bearded chief OF North
Wet Nam, to Moscow. The depart
ment is not inclined to believe that
the visit and the fighting in Laos
are mere coincidence.
Ho yesterday was reported to be
comforting in Peiping with Pres
ident Liu Shao-chi Of Communist
China. OstenSibly talking about
agricultural problems, there is fear
here that they may have discussed
how to promote more chaos in
Laos.
Meanwhile, there were conflict
ing reports on the situation in
Laos, where the ailing King Sisa-
Yang Wong, IA, turned over his
royal powers to his son, Crown
Prince Savang Vathana, on Friday.
II. still is not clear how much
fiehting is going on, how many
Red troops are involved and the
extent of their success. The best
estimate appeared to be that there
are now fewer than 5000 armed
Communist "rebels" in the coun-
try, but that they have seized a
good portion of the two northern
good portion of the provinces OF
Phong Sally and Sam Neua.
Making this small number of
armed Communists particularly
dangerous in, jungle country is
the fact that they are, the Laos
government comedies, being aided

trial and error. There was an in
ternal dispute over shelters vs..
evacuation. There were wild re-
quests for $50 billion for shelters.
The response from Congress. the
public and even the rest Of the
Federal Government was bewilder-

boredom. It was widely accepted
that civil defense was q boom

drew up q master plan for civil
defense and won its acceptance
and backing by the President. He
says it was the first time the adj
ministration knew exactly where 1t
was going in civil defense.
He has explained the State and
local roles in his plan personally
to almost every Governor and
many Mayors. Most have adopted
his plan. He also has started the
individual education program.
Both Plans Retained
He has made some basic as

then they must have shelter at

He assumes also that for the
first few days after a raid. people
will have to care for themselves.
Local government will be unable
to provide food, shelter or even
leadership Immediately in hard
hit areas. So civil defense must
be an individual effort.
He assumes, also, on the basis
of experiments made during A
bomb tests, that people not killed

would probably survive-but only
if they have shelter from radio
active fallout.
The OCDM feels it isn't asking
much money for all this. Some SIS
million a year would do 1t. The
days of half billion dollar appro-
priation requests to Congress are
gone. (OCDM will get about $50
million this year,
Mr.. Hoegh's new program faces
two difficult obstacles.
First, State and local govern
ments may lose their enthusiasm
and let disaster plans lapse. This
is a danger in the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
Second, individuals may not
overcome their apathy. Without
the interest Of the individual
homeowner, the basement and
backyard shelter program-vital
to the overall plan-will fail.
The OCDM answer is that their
campaign is just getting OF the
ground. You'll hear much, much
more about civil defense in the
future. And you'll build shelters
if Mr.. Hoegh has to stump this
country precinct by precinct.

anew the difficult problem of de-

Exactly how many special in

problem. The Russians apparently

utterly inadequate in Western

GENEVA, Switzerland. - From
this vantage point on the glisten-
ing shores of Lake Geneva, an
all-but-forgotten conference.-the
Observation-Disclosures parley on
an atomic test ban-looms large
on the diplomatic horizon.
If there is to be a tangible
East-West agreement this summer
or fall, it is more likely to be built
on foundations laid here than on
work done at any other bargain
ing table, many believe. A test
ban is seen as the probable first
step toward a cold-war settlement,
If and when there is such a
settlement.
Currently, the Russians are
stalling. They negotiate in fits
and starts. For q time last spring,
they made concession after con-
cession, often on peripheral mat
tiers but sometimes on really i'm
portant things. It began to look
as if agreement on q test ban at
last was in sight.
Now, they have blown cold, and
what diplomats here call another
Misunderstanding period" has set
in. 1t may be that Soviet Premier
Khrushchev has given his test

kin, an order to sit on a cake Of

It does seem likely that if a

Another possible explanation for
the Soviet stalling is that Moscow
wants to see whether the United

is concerned.
If the United States resumes

sure Of world opinion, Washington
feels obliged to withhold further
tests, Moscow will not need to
open up its borders to extensive
international inspection to pur-
chase an agreed cessation. Rus
sia's bargaining position will have
been enhanced.
Both theories-that Mr.. Khru-
shchey himself wants the glory and
that it is all just a bargaining tao
tic-are credited here. But only
the latter can be supported by
evidence.
Mr.. Tsarapkin has shown very
considerable interest in American
intentions. Using a standard Soviet
technique, he has repeatedly ac-
cused the United States Of plan
ming further tests. hoping to evoke
a confirmation or denial.
Wodsworth's Toctics
His American opposite number.
James j. Wadsworth, a foxy and
patient negotiator, has been play
ing his cards close to his chest,
brushing aside Mr.. Tsarapkin's
"evidence"-largely consisting of
newspaper clippings-but evading
a direct answer.

are hints that the tests will be re-
sumed-all of them unofficial in
the strictest sense and quite pos
sibly wrong, but credible enough
at this distance to put the Rus
slams on notice that they must pay
the price if they want a ceiling

ting into Soviet-dominated waters.
Is bringing TO peak efficiency her
civil defense program. already
ranked as one Of the worlds
finest.
Danish civil defense authorities.
In fact, are outspending and OUT
planning their United States
counterparts. A look at the map
makes the reason clear:
This kingdom Of islands lies 80
miles from East German territory
and less than 10 Jet minutes from
the Soviet heartland. Denmark's
narrow watery borders. the skag-
gerak and Kattegat, are the
soviet's only passageway from the
Baltic Sea to the ocean.
"They could destroy u.s." admits
Arthur Dahl. Danish civil defense
director. He points out, however.
that Denmark's air bases, vast
port installations and productive
farms, II intact. would be q more
valuable prize for an aggressor.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Dahl prepares
for the worst, steadily improving
his complex. 'round-the-clock or
ganization. His four-pronged
program rests on q warning sys-
tenn, evacuation plans. shelters.
and highly-trained mobile col
umns."
Civil Defense commondos
Denmark is the only country In
the world Boosting this type Of
skilled civil-military commando
unit, geared to speed into hard
pressed areas after attack.
The entire Danish effort ID
backed by q comprehensive public
education program.
Paying for this costs the Danes
$l.25 per capita or AZ per cent Oh
their national military budget.
Mr.. Dahl is asking for more.
The United States has averaged
20 cents per capita over the last
decade, according to an estimate
by former Civil Defense Admins
traitor Val Peterson. now United
States Ambassador to Denmark.
He bases this on q rough average
of $50 million spent annually on
civil defense since 1850. This
would come to only i per cent Of
a $40 billion military budget.
Distances Notwithstanding. Mr..
Peterson believes that the United
States is in as much peril Of attack
as Denmark.
Here AZ million Danes are
crowded into an area Of 1900
square miles. over q million Of
them in greater Copenhagen.
Nearby Sweden utilities her noun

terrain is mostly fiat. The long,
