Diplomacy by 'Postponement'

TEN and. IL there is an in
ternational agreement. it will
be on Soviet terms, which
means a pledge not worth the
paper it is written on.
But who wants a nuclear
crisis? The leverage at the
moment is on the Russian
side-a strategy of threats.
The West will naturally pre-
fer to talk indefinitely. There
is. Of course. no harm in
negotiations that are pro-
tracted. Time could be Of
substantial value to the West
provided something were
done to keep alive the hopes
and aspirations of the en-
slaved peoples. Time could be
on the Western side, more
over. if the protracted period
OF negotiations were effec-
lively used to build up what
someday could be a peoples
revolution behind the Iron
Curtain. The events of world
history have proved that
human liberty cannot be per-
manently crushed in any
country. and that sooner or
later the concerted will of
millions can triumph over q
small group of despots.
The Communist Party is a
minority behind the Iron
Curtain. 1t is all-powerful to-
day, but it is vulnerable.
Nikita Khrushchev is a
politician. He thinks time is
on his side and that every
year he will be able to stave
of revolt by improving the
standard Of living. But it has
been well said that man can
not live on bread alone.
Someday the passion for
freedom will supersede all
else. The moral force of
American public opinion can
eventually serve as an in
spiration to the patriots in
Hungary and elsewhere who
know that someday they
must bring an end to des-
potiSm.
The paradox of the age is
that the Communists are
aiding and abetting the
clamor for nationalism in
Algeria and in the Middle
East. but they ignore the
legitimate aspirations of the
peoples behind the Iron Cur
tain who once enjoyed true
independence.

Industry Seen Trying to Move Hearings
Away From Gaze of Aroused Public

The so = called ethical"
pharmaceutical industry,
badly stung by the begin
nings of the Kefauver COM
mittee investigations into
high drug costs, will attempt
a policy of "containment"
for the investigation in the
next session of Congress.
That this investigation of
pricing and other practices
of the Nations most profit
able industry has struck
a raw nerve is evidenced by
the fact that more than ten
thousand persons have writ
ten the committee in the
space of a few weeks. All but
a few have supported the
committees efforts. Many of
the letter writers have been
physicians. Committee staff
members say that they have
provided many leads for fu-
ture investigations.
What at least some seq
ments of the industry hope is
that the investigations can
be moved out of the public
eye into the secrecy of ex-
ecutive sessions from which
the public and the press
would be barred. There are
compelling reasons behind
this hope for privacy. One is
to avoid an aroused public
opinion. The other is that
the industry believes that
some of the committee mem
bers would fight for it in pri-

Court if necessary.
Principals in the suits were

patients, and two husbands.
DR.. Buxton claimed that the
ban or giving birth controI
advice prevented him from
prescribing contraceptives for
three patients for whom preg-
nancy could mean a loss of life
or abnormal children.
The patients also filed suits
using fictitious names to main
tain their anonymity.
They and DR.. Buxton claim
ed the laws were unconstitu-
tional and deprived them OF
their rights under the Four
teenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution. This for
bids the individual States tc
deprive any person Of life,
liberty or property without due
