Inquiries:
Conspiracy

The gavel of Chairman McClel-
Ian drummed out his fury as the
Senate RacketS Committee ended
its investigation of jukebox and
other coin machine racketeering
in Chicago last Wednesday.
The inquiry, Senator Mcclellan
declared. had exposed a con-
spiracy between underworld ele-
ments and coin machine operators
that threatens the sovereignty of
this country"
Unless this is successfully
stopped" he warned in ominous
this country. We are threatened
from within"
Most of the information brought
to public light at the hearings
came from committee investi-
gators. With few exceptions, the
hoodlums and underworld figures
called to testify claimed the Fifth
Amendment.
A one-time dealer in obscene
monograph records declined to
answer questions on whether he
was involved in a reported scheme
to flood the Midwest with counters

that the subject was Berlin and
what officials were calling Q war
Of nerves."
AS the week ended. there was
rather less than more hope that q
peaceful solution would be easily
found to the Berlin question. But
there was still strong opinion
among some State Department
officials and along Embassy Row
that the Soviet Union had no
intention or desire to trigger O
war. What was really sought by
the Kremlin, said the optimists.
was O showdown on general
European security this year. The
Berlin situation thus seemed made
to order for the Moscow program.
Provoking crisis over the future
status Of West Berlin win, in this
view, bring inevitable negotia-
lions and concessions from the
Western alliance. And conceiv-
ably the Soviets are prepared also
for concessions, II they can get
guarantees that there will be no
reunited Germany rearmed and
allied with the West.

One Refuses to Answer

Another witness last week was
Edward Vogel. reputedly the boss
of the late AL Capone's slot ma
chine operations in Chicago. De-
Scribed by the committee as "one
OF the overlords of the under
world" he refused to answer ques-
tons about his past or present
activities.
The committees next targets in
its Nationwide probe of the tie-in
between labor racketeers and UNI
derworld activities will be Los
Angeles, New Orleans, Detroit and
Miami.
1t also plans an extensive in
quiry into the financing of po-

What Is the Meaning?

Diplomats and newsm e n :,
startled by the abruptness Of the
Khrushchev action, speculated on
its meaning.
Most popular explanation
seemed to be that the Kremlin
is determined on an early summit
meeting and seeks to force the
point. Mr.. Khrushchev himself
lent much weight to this analysis
by directly calling for such a meet
ing in his remarks. The Soviets,
the facts appeared to show.
wanted swift action while the
West was on the defensive, with
its unity shaken and its leader
ship at least temporarily gone.
But the immediate reaction in
the West was negative. The blunt
ness. If not outright rudeness, of
the Khrushchev move made while
Britain's Prime Minister was still
his guest. brought even the Labor
Party opposition in Britain to
Mr.. Macmillan's defense. For his
part, he as firmly rejected the call
for a summit conference as
Khrushchev had rejected the for
eign ministers meeting. But at
Kiev, despite the Soviet rebuff
and rising above his understand
able personal resentment of the
Khrushchev tactics, Mr.. Macmil-
Ian repeated his desire for nego-
tiations.
The Khrushchev threat that
the Soviet Union would 60 ahead
TO sign a separate peace treaty
with East Germany was under
