No Defense Against FaIIout
For cities in the East, South, and
Central West, there is no known de-
tense against fallout. The Civil De-
Tense Authority is experimenting
with evacuation Of cities and the
use OF easements and other protec-
tons from the immediate crash of
the bomb when it falls. An atom
bomb would Immediately slaughter
people within five miles Of the point
OF the explosion. The fallout-how-
ever, might not occur for some
days after the bomb exploded.
Furthermore, the direction of the
wind is an important factor in the
damage caused by .fallout. OF
course, if Dol b should be
dropped in New Mexico or Ari-
iona. the fallout would be as dan
'gerous there as anywhere else, but
PROBABLY this would not occur.
Let me close with one interesting
fact: That the oldest continuing &C.
cupled city in the United States.
namely Oraibi which dates from
more than 1000 years ago - is in
Arizona; the cliff dwellers of Walnut
Canyon lived near here 1900 years
ago while the more progressive
Navajo Indians we're conferred in
and about Northern Arizona. It
seems strange. although entirely
possible. that the great cycle Of
population for the United States
may come back to Arizona where it
started over 1000 years ago. In case
Of World War III. there could be a
gold rush" to Arizona equaling

the Treasury.
Among the determined opponents
is Chairman Byrd tD-Va.) of the
Senate Finance Committee. He
vigorously denounced the practice
in a statement Directing to an
amendment, approved by the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
which would permit back door
Treasury financing Of development
loans to underdeveloped nations
throughout the world.
Senator Byrd's Analysis
Here is the way Senator Byrd
analysed the situation:

There was another threat also to
future solvency, growing out Of the
apparent failure Of some legislators
to give adequate consideration to

Countdown?

President Eisenhower Is correct In
his insistence that the interests of ITS
million people are more important than
the interests of either side in the thus
far unproductive steel-labor negotia-
tions. And he has made clear his own
opinion that the public interest would
be most harmed by an "infiationary set
tlement"-one in which wage increases
would be neatly matched by price in
creases, with the consumer Of many
products eventually paying the bill. It
might be added that the public interest,
as well as that Of the industry and its
labor force, likewise would not be served
by shutdown that is becoming increas-
ingly likely.
There Is reason to wonder, however,
whether "the message" is getting
through to the negotiators. After more
than six weeks Of slow motion, they con-
Cured yesterday in an announcement
that they had resolved an impasse on
bargaining procedure" On the con-
tract issues themselves, however. there
was only word that the companies must
resist" and the union could accept no
less" AS Of now, with the present con-
tract due to expire at midnight on June
80. the top-level bargaining teams are
due to meet again tomorrow, D-day
minus IL. It is time to demonstrate
their skills at something more than pre-
senting q tableau of an irresistible force

ReconciIer's Job

In unanimously nominating Agri-
cultural Minister Heinrich Luebke to
succeed Theodor Heuss as West Ger
many's President, the leaders of the
dominant Christian Democratic Union
have recovered a measure Of their
former unity. But they still must
reckon with potentially serious internal
bitterness and dissension as a result Of
Konrad Adenauer's recent reversal Of
his April decision to retire as Chancellor
and run instead for the largely cere-
monial presidential off1ce.
This sudden about face obviously
has inflicted political wounds that are
not going to heal quickly. Fot the S3-
year-old DR.. Adenauer, although he has
offered some cogent arguments in de-
tense of, his decision, has offended and
angered many Christian Democrats who
had been looking forward to the pros
pect Of having the highly popular Eco
Monies Minister Ludwig Erhard succeed
him as Chancellor this summer. Fur
ther, DR.. Erhard himself has made little
effort TO conceal the fact that q sort
of feud now exists between him and
the great "Old Man." though both have
been close collaborators In the past and
continue to agree on all the essentials
of foreign policy.
Such a situation can hardly fan TO
have q weakening effect on the Chris
tiAn Democrats as the majority party
Of free Germany, and 1t certainly is Of
no help to the overall Western position
in current efforts to negotiate with the
Soviet Union. Yet this is thing that
can be exaggerated. After all, as indi-
Gated by DR.. Luebke's unanimous nomi-
nation for the presidency. the CDU still
knows how to unite against the oppose
tion, and there is reason to believe that
the party-despite the rumpus caused
by DR.. Adenauer's about-face and de-
spite the hurt feelings Of DR.. Erhard and
his followers-will hold fast together on
the basic issues, the issues that really
count.
II he wins the election, as expected,
DR.. Luebke can do much to promote and
strengthen such unity. Although he
has not been a prominent figure In the
urban areas Of West Germany, the
farmers Of the country have long ad-
mired him as an exceptionally able man.
Accordingly, given the presidential Office
which has inherent powers Of consid-
erable signihcance-he will be in good
position to help bring about the kind
Of internal reconciliation now needed
within his party.
