'Nyet' and Reality

Our Governments interim plan Tor
a sweeping but leSS-than-total ban on
nuclear testing deserves something
better than the "nyet" it has evoked
from the Kremlin'S chief representative
at the Anglo merican-Soviet Geneva
talks on the subject.
These talks have been going on
now for some Is months, but there has
been no perceptible change in the de-
preSSingly negative position taken by
the RuSSianS-a position which may be
summed up as follows: ~ They insist
upon total ban. (2) They are ex-
ceedingly reluctant, however, to accept
genuinely effective methods of control,
inspection and verification. And (3) they
refuse to deal realistically with the fact
that under present seismic monitoring
systems numerous types of underground
shots (thoSe with an explosive force
ranging below 10000 tons Of TNT) are
either indistinguishable from natural
earthquakes or can be so "muff1ed" as
to be made undetectable.
Accordingly, the Geneva talks are
in deadlock, and it is for that reason
that our new American proposal, which
is supported by the British, has been
submitted with the earnest hope that
it will make possible mutually accept
able agreement. To that end, at any
rate, our Government has called for
the banning of military nuclear tests
Gin all the environments that can
now be effectively controlled" and po-
Iced. The ban thus would apply to
every kind of detonation-in the at
moSphere or in the oceans-that re-
leases health-endangering radioactive
fallout. 1t would apply also to detect
able types of noncontaminating I'M
foreground shots (which cause seismic
magnitude readings of ATS or more
the level, ranging upward from the
equivalent of 10000 tons of TINT, that
can now be adequately monitored."
The exceptions would be the smaller
underground explosions and the shots
in space that do not lend themselves
to detection at the present time. But
these exceptions, under our Govern
mentS proposal, would cease Just as
soon as joint Anglo American-Sovie
research and experimentation resulted
in effective safeguards permitting the
bans extension to such tests. Certainly,
although it amounts to less than an
about prohibition, this is a reasonable,
realistic and altogether far-reaching
plan for dealing with an enormously
difficult problem which now has been
further complicated by Frances entry
into the worlds still-exclusive nuclear
club. Certainly, too, if the Russians keep
on rejecting the plan, our country will
have good reason-before the year ends
to resume limited-Scale detonations
In the tunnels of the Nevada Test Site.
In any event, in terms of the de-
velopment of missile warheads and
revolutionary small" nuclear weapons,
such detonations (Which the Kremlin
could even now be setting off clandeS-
tinely) can have a life-or-death mean
ing for America. Hence, as long as they
remain undetectable, we cannot safely
debar ourselves from them-regardless
of the persistent Soviet "nyet."

Matter of Policy

An article in your paper
February 8 reported the rape
killing Of a Swear -old girl.
In describing this attack, and
others which had been per-
petrated by the accused, the
article included the following
statement: "All the victims
are colored."
I have read many discus
sions in which the argument
was made that "factual" re-
porting must include racial
descriptions of newsworthy
individuals. Where the de-
scription is given in order to
aid in apprehension of the
accused this argument seems
to have merit. Where this in
formation refers to a crimi-
nal, and is included in order
to give evidence of what the
editors believe to be a crime
wave centered in one racial
group, at least some reason
able, albeit not very convinc-
ing arguments could be made.
Again. in this particular case,
had there been anything in
the article to mislead the
readers into believing the at
tacks were motivated by the
assailant's racial bitterness
against whites, the statement
might rightly be included.
Obviously there were no
such misleading facts in this
case. What justification could
there be then to include this
statement? The story is no
less tragic because the VIC
TINS are Negro. The grief Of
the parents is no less intense.
Considering this, and the fact
that such statements have
the effect Of engraving even
more deeply that terrible
prejudice which makes crime
seem somehow less terrible
when "the victims are COL
ored" this information should
not be included.

I could read only part Of
your article describing the
rape and death of the 5-year-
old girl in the Northeast Sec
ton. I myself have a daugh-
ter just turning four. MY
heart goes out in sympathy
to the parents of the dead
child. Yet, after laying the
paper down. sick to my heart,
and not being able to finish
the article on the murder, I
could only think of j. Edgar
Hoover's words that people
like this mailman feed them
selves on pornography and
other forms of obscenity. Yet
when Postmaster General
Arthur E. Summarized at

forts to curb such filth, he
was opposed by well-mean-
ing citizens who held that
such an action would be
against freedom of the press.
Yet what do these same peo-
pie have to say after reading
OF the brutal killing of this
innocent child? People with
warped minds are driven to
acts Of violence by this same
smut which is being sent
through the mail every day.
Cannot we join Postmaster
General Summerfield in his
fight against this evil?

Dear Sir:
Permit me to add a few
more words Of appreciation to
the cause celebre Of the much
abused starting.
Near our former home
there was a large grove of
trees. on the lawns of the
many neighbors were vari-
Gus fruit trees-this is the

lure which drew our daily
visitors).
Eat breakfast time each
morning, a great black cloud
winged towards our trees
from down Washington way.
an perfect formation they
wheeled and circled overhead,
dropping in an instant to
rest in the trees. Thereupon
they commenced a cheerful,
clacking. chattering CONVEX
sation, much like a crowd Of
happy children.
ITO some silent signals
command they responded
with sudden fight. Up they
rose, falling lightly into their
appointed places in forma-
ton; with shrill calls clat-
tering, they wheel and circle
again, soon to come to rest in
another group Of trees.
After breakfasting their
fill, away they few in grace
full lines, to return once more
the following day.

pearance, well, surely the

why he should. He is I'M
opposed, and even If the
combined vote for Senators
Kennedy and Humphrey did
exceed the vote cast in the
Republican primary for Mr..
Nixon, it would scarcely
harm the Vice Presidents
chances in November. After
all, primary votes usually are
far fewer in number than the
votes cast in general cleo
tons. especially in a presi-
dental race. Also, the fact
there is a brisk contest be-
tween two popular Demo-
Gratis would necessarily bring
out a large Democratic vote.
Further, the Vice Presi-
dent already has announced
he would enter or permit his
name to be entered in a
number of presidential pri-
maries. including New Hamp-
shire, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
and Oregon. 1t is regarded as
certain he will enter the pri-
mary in his own State Of
California. While the Vice
President may not feel it
necessary to have his name
in all 16 States holding pri-
maries, the fact that so much
interest is centering in Wis
conSin seems a good reason
he should provide a Repub-
lican entry there.
Seek to Ease Bitterness
Senator Kennedy has indi-
Gated that if he is defeated in
the Wisconsin primary, he
may get out of the race for
the Democratic presidential
nomination altogether. This
has been variously inter-
preted. One Interpretation is
that he is confident of VIC
tory - that otherwise he
would have made no such
statement. Another is that he
really would give up the
contest-much as did Wen
dell L. Willkie in 1914 when
Mr.. Willkie was seeking a
second Republican nominal
ton for President and was
BANKED in the Wisconsin
primary, after making a
strenuous campaign there.
Wisconsin will have thirty
one delegate votes in the
Democratic National Conven-
ton.
Senator Kennedy, it has
been reckoned, will win the
at-large or Statewide votes.
He and his supporters did
not like the decision by the
Democratic State Committee
that there should be five at
large delegate votes chosen,
instead of ten. as originally
had been expected. They
finally accepted the decision.
There was little else they
could do. The Kennedy-Hum-
phrey contest is rather Bit
ter, and some of the Demo-
cratic leaders are doing their
best to reduce the friction
which could carry over into
the general election cam
paign and so lessen Demo-
cratic chances of carrying
the State against the Repub-
licans.
In view Of the fact that
Senator Kennedy has entered
or announced he will enter
eight presidential primary
States-including Wisconsin
it would be strange, indeed,
If he should take himself out
OF the race for his party's
nomination. However, this
may be a year Of strange
political events.

THE POLITICAL MILL
G. O. p. Decide Democratic Race?
By GOULD LINCOLN

While Senator John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts
and Senator Hubert Hum
phrey Of Minnesota continue
to struggle for supremacy in
the Wisconsin Democratic
presidential primary, with
both showing strength, a dis
turbing factor is puZzling
both sides. What, they are
asking, will the Republican
voters do? Will they cross
over in considerable numbers
to vote in the Democratic
primary, as they can do un-'
der the State law? If they
do, to whom will they give
their votes, Senator Kennedy
or Senator Humphrey? This
is one of the things which
make of the approaching Wis
consin contest a major puzzle.
Vice President Nixon, the
only Republican presidential
possibility now on the hori-
ION, is expected to announce
he will enter the Wisconsin
primary. If he does so, the
Republicans in the State will
in large number stay in their
own primary to vote for him.
But since he will not be con-
tested, many of the Repub-
licans may feel at liberty to
cast their ballots in the Dem
ocratic primary. If they do
so, they will likely be guided
by either a desire to vote for
the Democrat they think
would make the best Presi-
dent, or a desire to vote for
the Democrat they consider
the easiest to defeat in the
general election next Novem-
Der. In the old days, when the
Republicans we're supreme in
the State, it was a favorite
pastime Of the Democrats to
move over to the Republican
primaries in order to aid
the candidates for nomination
they believed most vulnerable
to attack. So some of the Re-
publicans in the State are
inclined to enjoy the present
situation, in which the COP.
voters are at liberty to decide
a Democratic primary If they
wish.
Nixon Should Enter
1t is extremely doubtful
the State Republican organi-
zation will seek to direct Re-
publican voters either to go
into the Democratic primary,
or vote for Senator Kennedy
or Senator Humphrey. But
that does not minimize the
fact that Republicans may go
into the Democratic primary
and exercise their own judg-
ment. Some of the old Nc
earthly followers among the
Republicans, for example,
may go into the Democratic
primary and support Senator
Kennedy. There are other
Republicans who may PUNK
for Senator Humphrey on the
theory they think q Hum
phrey victory would injure
Senator Kennedy, or that
they would prefer Senator
Humphrey as a presidential
nominee, either because they
think him easier to defeat
later on or because they actu-
ally would prefer him in the
White House to Senator Ken
nedy.
Vice President Nixon, in
speaking at a Lincoln Day
dinner in Wisconsin, was &C
corded a real ovation by an
overflow crowd. There seems
no real reason why he should
not enter this presidential
primary and several reasons
