Senator Humphrey, Democrat
Of Minnesota, commended today
that political problems, not
technical obstacles, are the
main roadblocks to an agree
ment suspending nuclear weap-
ons tests.
Senator Humphrey based his
argument on testimony by DR..
Hans Bethe, professor of
physics at Cornell University
and a member of President Eli
senhower's Science Advisory
Committee, before the Senate
Disarmament Subcommittee.
Senator Humphrey heads the
group.
AS examples of the political
obstacles to a test-suspension
agreement, Senator Humphrey
mentioned Cd the Soviet in
sistence on the right to veto an
inspection, and 90 DR.. Bethe'S
testimony that he is worried
about China in an inspection
system. This country would
have to insist that China form
part of a permanent system, he
said, although the United States
does not recognize Red China.
Censored Version
A censored version of DR..
Bethe's testimony before the
subcommittee was released to-
day. 1t showed he told the
Senators:
/. The best way to observe
super-high altitude nuclear
tests is from unnamed. in
strumented satellites with
equipment to detect radiations
from nuclear blasts. The nice
point about this, he said, is
that in empty space radiations
travel unhindered over terrific
distances. He said such satel-
lite observation stations are
realistic, feasible and definitely
within our capability. Further
testimony about the capability
was deleted.
2. The method he likes best
for improving detection OF
ground nuclear blasts is in
stalling Seismographs in deep
holes-perhapS 5000 feet UNI

Soviet Dictotor's War Threat on Berlin
Believed Failing to Impress West

agreed TO undertake way back
In 1945. So that II We are
stopped. 1t will be somebody
else using force"
The President performed a
service to world peace by
making 1t clear that the
United States will not fail to
resist any attack on the
Western allied military forces
as they pursue their rights
under the l945 agreement.
That agreement was adopted
when the men Of the armed
forces OF the United States
and her Western allies were
completing the Job Of saving
the Russian people from pos
sible conquest by Hitler's
armies.
It seems a. brazen piece OF
ingratitudt for the dictator
in the Kremlin to demand
now that West Berlin be
given up to whoever the
Moscow government says
shall occupy it, thus dis
regarding the inter-allied
agreement altogether. Ger
tainly, unless consent is given
by all the partners in the
war, the territory Of West
Berlin should remain in its
present status. Any attempt
to alter that status by force
becomes an attack by the
Soviet Union on the Western
allies. This would mean the
beginning Of a war, and it
seems incredible that Die
tator Khrushchev would take
such a risk.
1t may be that Khrushchev
thinks the Western allies will
not stand together and would
not risk a war. But that is
the kind Of miscalculation
: which the Communist lead
ers in Moscow should never
make. For, If fighting breaks
out in the vicinity Of West
Berlin. it could result in a
revolution inside East Ger
many and in some other
satellite countries as we'll as
inside the Soviet Union it

ACCREDITATION

which during the school year
of 1888 labored under a
threat of losing accreditation.
finally made 1t this year. Ac-
creditation was assured for at
least two more years. Still. the
future of the school is ques-
tionable.
Some Of its problems: en-
rollment is gradually declining;
the school is predominately
Negro and there are no firm in
dications that the schools
racial composition will be bet
ter balanced in the future.
Some authorities hold that the
school. a major source Of Dis
trict school teachers, must at
tract more white students. the
future teachers of the system.
to better balance the racial
composition of the entire
teaching force. AS Of last Oc-
tober. Of 4,536 teachers, 62.l per
cent were Negro.
In the midst of this problem,
the school board this year
abandoned for the time being
its plan to turn the college into
a city college. Paying $4,000 for
a management conSultant firm
survey, it learned that as far
as the firm was concerned there
was no pressing need in the
District for a city college. So
the board decided. instead. to
try and pull from Congress the
needed authorization to set up
a junior college at the school.
The idea has yet to win ap-
proval of the District Com
missioners.
Always in the background Is
the old argument that the
school-now composed Of two
buildings eight blocks apart
should be given either a new
building or should be moved to
an existing high school.

THE THREE Rs

Despite recent criticism and
Sputniks, few public school sys-
TENS throughout the country
have actually changed their
ways. The local system, how
ever. is full Of innovations.
Sold ON grouping together
students Of roughly equal abil-
ity, the system now sports a
permanent "four-track pro-
gram" in its high schools. Three
of those tracks-honors, gen.
eral and basic-wi!l probably
be dropped down through the
Junior highs and elementary
levels. The whole idea Is to
challenge those students who
become disinterested in school
either by being above the nor
NAL course offerings or far be-
hind and below. Teachers will
no longer be faced with a class
of students who show a wide
difference in ability.
Russian, started for the first
time in two high schools this
year, will be placed in a third
high school next year. Either
French or Spanish will be in
troduced on the elementary
, level. High school courses will
be offered in the ninth grade.
Gifted junior high children--or
those in the honors curricu-
lum-will be faced with tougher
subjects as they pass into the
eighth grade. Personal and
family living-or "sex educa-
tion"-will be taught in is ele-
mentary schools. nine Junior
highs and eight high schools
after q successful experiment
the first year. Next years
budget will carry provisions for
an expanded summer school
program actually a version Of
a longer school year. This
school year was one week long
er. A free lunch program for
about TOO children was carried
to completion by donations
from the public and some 1000
children will probably get free
lunches, at taxpayer expense.
starting next year. The free
lunch program is based on
school officials belief that you
can't teach hungry children.
