Like dCondidote'

On the Republican side, Mr.
Rockefeller is acting more and
more like man who hopes that
political lightning will strike
him. If it does, he plans to be
ready. He has continued his cool
aloofness toward Mr.. Nixon, de-
clining many opportunities to in
dorse the Vice President.
Doubtless, the Rockefeller hopes
have been buoyed by the latest
public opinion polls which show
that Mr.. Nixon is trailing Senator
Kennedy and by the influential
Denver Posts editorial backing
the Governor as the best man for
the Republican Party to put
forward in November. Mr.. Rookie
feller could be watching. too, the
growing squeeze being put on Mr..
Nixon by the conservative and
liberal elements of the G. o. P.
All of the above factors, could
help promote the idea that Nixon
can't win" Mr.. Rockefeller, of
course. cannot lend his name to
any such idea; he may have to
back the Vice President when the
Republican convention completes
its work the last week of July.
But the successful promotion of
it appears to offer the only hope
for Mr.. Rockefeller in 1860.

Stevenson Role

But Mr.. Stevenson, even with
a Kennedy assist, would not be
home clear. True, his highly poll
ished attack on the Eisenhower
administration at the University
Of Virginia last week evoked nos
talgic signs from many of the
supporters who helped get him the
nomination in 1852 and again in
1856. There were no audible
signs, however, from the party
professionals They like to deal
in what they hope will be a win
ner. A two time loser doesn't fit
into their scheme of things.
One of the most powerful of
the Democratic pros is Harry
Truman. On a baby sitting stint
for daughter Margaret in New
York, the former President OBJ
liquely observed that the Ameri-
can people are sympathetic to a
loser, but the Democratic Party
wanted winner. Mr.. Truman
is believed to favor Senators Sy-
mlngton and Johnson, in that

conference will obviously depend
to a great extent on the ability
of the Vests leaders to find a
common strategy and to employ
common tactics in negotiating
with the single-minded and to-
tally united" Mr.. Khrushchev.
The Soviet leaders shrewdness
and skill at bargaining are taken
for granted by Western policy
makers. What no one knows at
this point is how far Mr.. Khru-
shchev will let himself be tempted
toward exploiting the known di-
vergences of views among his
three summit colleagues. In this
outlook there appear to be two
general schools of thought:
. That for reasons of internal
Soviet politics and personal pres
tige, Mr.. KhruShchev really wants
some agreement with the West.
Q That Mr.. Khrushchev has ma
neuvered successfully for a sum-
NIT conference at this time because
he wants to make the most of
Soviet military might in the mis-
sile field while the West not only
lags but is divided in its policy.
From Moscow last week there
came only one significant COM
ment on the prospects Of the
summit conference. An article
in Pravda signed Observer"
which is usually taken to mean a
source close to the top of the
Kremlin's hierarchy, predicted
that a partial and temporary"
agreement on the Berlin question
would be reached at Geneva. The
article repeated previous Soviet
statements to the effect that Mos
COW was prepared to do every
thing to solve the German problem
on a basis acceptable to the
Western powers as well as to the
Soviet Union and the German
Democratic Republic"

A Defense Role

AS TiroS I has obvious military
potential as reconnaissance spy
in-the-sky. so too has Transit a
defense role. The Navy is count
ing on it to make the Polaris mis-
slle submarine system even more
accurate.
In 1862, when four fully opera
tional Transit satellites are sched-
uled to be in evenly spaced orbits
around the earth. the Navy hopes
that its Polaris subs and surface
warships will be able to determine
their positions on the high seas
within 1/10 of a mile, regardless
of weather conditions. Presently,
the accuracy by ground radio sys-
TENS and star sightings is about
one-half mile, at best.
Late this summer, the United
States is expected to send one of
its seven astronauts on a 200-mile
test flight in the nose cone of
RedStone missile. This will be a
preliminary to the full-f1edged
attempt to put a man into orbit
around the earth and bring him
back safely.

A Bitter Fight

. There bitter fight is building
up not between the two opposing
Democratic candidates. Senators
Hubert Humphrey and John F.
Kennedy, particularly. The real
fight is now between all the forces
who want to bar Mr.. Kennedy
from the nomination, on the one
side. and the front-running Bos-
tonian. on the other.
Mr. Humphrey thus is getting
aid from supporters of Senators
Lyndon johnson, Stuart Syming-
ton and Mr.. Stevenson. The
United Mine Workers, according
to the New York Times, have been
passed the word by John L. Lewis
that he would like to see Mr.. Ken
nedy defeated. The UNIV is a
potent force in West Virginia.
= While Mr.. Kennedy is far from
helpless, he faces an exceedingly
difficult Job against this arrayed
opposition.
If . he wins in the Mountain
State, his chances for getting
the nomination on an early bal
lot will be bright. Should he lose,
many political observers believe
his star will fade and that he
will then choose to deliver his
strength to another candidate and
accept the vice presidential nomi-
nation. Mr.. Stevenson is general
ly mentioned as the man most
likely to benefit from such a turn
Of events.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
The West and It's Divisions

On Thursday the Foreign
Ministers of Britain, France,
the United States, the German
Federal Republic, Canada, Italy,
plus the Secretary General of
the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, ended three days
Of discussion in Washington on
the Vests approach to the
Soviet Union at the summit
conference next month.
Perhaps never before in diplo-
matte history has a nation held
so advantageous a position as
does the Soviet Union on the eve
of the summit conference sched-
uled for next month. That ad-
vantage is the possession of total
unity and singleness of purpose,
which will be opposed by a West
ern alliance whose members,
united in aim, are deeply divided
in method and scope.
The Western Big Three-Britain,
the United States and France
represented by their foreign min
listers gathered here Tuesday to
work out, if possible, a common
policy with which their chiefs,
Prime Minister Macmillan, Pres
ident Eisenhower and President
de Gaulle, could share in their
talks with Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev at Geneva when the sum-
NIT conference begins on May Is.
To assist them in their de-
liberationS and to counsel them
in their decisions, the Big Three

listers of Canada, West Germany

the talks the ministers were Joined
by Paul-Henri Spaak, NATO's
secretary general.
When the talks ended Thurs
day, a communique hailed "satis-
faction with the useful progress
achieved preparations are
we'll advanced for the effective
presentation of the Western posi-
tions at the summit" But diplo-
mats close to the principals were
both less sanguine and more pre-
else than the communique. The
basic differences between the Big
Three, they said, had not been
eliminated, or even narrowed, by
the Washington talks.

Outer Space:
High Gear

The Navy's Transit I-B satel-
lite, promising substantial ad-
vances in navigation accuracies
for ships and aircraft, was shot
into orbit last Wednesday.
On May IS, 1858, the Soviet
Union launched its third earth
satellite. 1t has not launched an
other. Since then, the United
States has fired into orbit and
has scored four successful deep
space probes against three for the
USSR. Six of our nine space
vehicles now in orbit continue to
send back scientific information.
Both of the Russian vehicles still
in outer space are silent.
This, in brief, is the score
on United States-USSR space
achievements. Numbers, of course,
never tell the complete story. The
Soviet shots have been highly
skilEul, but their spectacular ma
ture has been due largely to the
fact that the Russians have had
and still posSeSS-larger booster
engines with which to propeI iarg-
er payloads aloft.
However, if the boxscore should
indicate to the casual observer
that our space program has been
rolling along in reasonably high
gear, a valid impression would
have been registered.
With the cherry blossoms still
in bloom, the year 1860 already
has been noteworthy one for
American spacemen.
On March IL, satellite (Pio-
neer W containing the first inter-
planetary communication system
was sent into orbit around the
sun. On April l, a weather-eye
satellite, armed with two television
cameras and called Tiros I, was
placed in orbit around the earth,
giving us the start on new and
improved system of weather fore
casting. Then last Wednesday,
we scored our third major success
in 33 days by successfully launch
ing Transit I-B, satellite which
promises to bring about a system
for aerial and ship navigation far
more accurate than heretofore
possible. Two days later our Dis
coverer XI was fired into a polar
orbit.

The Test Ban:
All Smiles

On Thursday the Soviet Union
accepted without a quibble
United States proposal, made
only two days before, that West
ern and Soviet scientists get
together for a new study of the
problems of detecting nuclear
blasts.
The Geneva conference on ways
and means of banning all testing
of nuclear weapons has met 1877
times. There have been deadlocks
and roadblocks and runarounds,
but the conferees of Britain, the
United States and the Soviet
Union have kept acerbity and in
vective to a minimum.
Last week the Soviet delegate,
Semyon K. Tsarapkin. gave his
Western colleagues a pleasant
surprise. He accepted, without
conditions, the proposal made
Tuesday by United States delegate
James A. WadSworth that a new
scientific study be launched of re-
liable detection methods of nuclear
explosions, particularly those held
underground.
Thursdays meeting was so har-
monious that reporters were re-
minded of a reunion of three old
college chums. When Mr.. Tsar-
apkin came smiling from the
session, he predicted confidently
that a test ban was going to be
agreed upon. By Christmas? he
was asked. Sure" said the Rus
sian with a grin, II hope So"
The conference recessed for II

this note of optimism and good
cheer. There was heightened spec
ulation that all concerned expect

Some Agreement

reductions, either in conventional
or nuclear weapons, can be con-
sidered.

The A. Bomb Tests

The A-Bomb Tests
In the other of the two dis
armament conference.-the three
nation negotiation on A-bomb
tests-the Soviets have shown a
somewhat better and more dis
eliminating appetite. But here,
too, preparation for the summit
is at best incomplete and spotty.
Two of the principal remaining
problems, France and China,
have scarcely been touched upon,
let alone settled.
Just as the West would never
believe that tests conducted on
mainland China were not really
Soviet tests, so Moscow would GER
tainly believe that French tests,
after signature of a treaty, were
at least in part contributions to
Anglo-American nuclear weapons
technology. Given the present
state of Franco-American rela-
tions in this area, it would not be
the case, but Moscow could scarce
ly be expected to believe that.

foreign ministers their task of pre-
pairing summit strategy.
Here in the diplomatic foothills,

the nuclear test ban, there has

the kind which, in time of John

Western strategists not only
have no agreements to make ready

in a very superficial sense-what
Soviet Premier Khrushchev will
want to talk about.

to say about Berlin and Germany,
but what will he really be willing
to do about them?
