Security Matter

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and 81 other
wellknoWn Americans have offered
President Eisenhower what seems to
us to be a piece of gratuitouS advice.
In special statement, they have ex-
horted him, lest he wreck the possibility
of an accord with the Russians, "to
avoid demands" for "a f1awlesSly re-
liable" ban on nuclear tests. Instead,
as they see the situation, and as they
have emphatically counseled him, he
should "seek an immediate agreement"
to put an end to all such tests, includ-
ing the smaller underground detona-
tions that can be so "muff1ed" as to be
made undetectable under present seis-
mic monitoring systems.
In effect, this counsel amounts to
an Endorsement of the Kremlin's in
sistent call for an altogether made
quately policed total ban that would be
based largely on paper promises hardly
conducive to mutual trust. The fact is,
of course, that the Presidents repre-
sentatives at the Anglo -AmericanSovi
talks in Geneva have not been demand
ing "a f1aWlesSly reliable" treaty on pro-
hibiting nuclear tests. However, as they
must at all times, they have been keep
ing in mind certain basic conSidera-
tionS that could have a life-or-death
significance for our country. That is
why our Governments latest proposal
to the Russians advocates an interim
agreement under which it would be per-
miSsible to carry out the smaller under
ground experiments and the shots in
space that cause no radioactive fallout
and are not now detachable. These are
types of explosions that can have vital
bearing on the development of missile
warheads and "miniaturized" revolu-
tionary atomic weapons, and they could
be taking place at this very moment in
the USSR without our being aware of
them, and we and the British land pre-
-sumably the French as welD could stage
them with equal SurreptitiousnesS.
Accordingly, our country has good
reason to hold fast to the plan it has
proposed (1) to ban nuclear tests "in all
environments that can now be effec-
lively controlled, but (2) to exempt

Possino Bomb Around

The President said that
we do not have to reach
agreement on nuclear test
ing before making further
progress on disarmament.
e. We should look at dis
armament on such a broad
scale" he said, that we can
find the areas where we can
make progress.
The President took a step
In this direction when he
supported the idea Of bring
ing the Chinese Communists
under future disarmament
agreements. No matter how
overdue. this suggestion is a
welcome act Of political real
ism which can only improve
the chances of worldwide
arms control.
However, the adminiStra-
ton was reported also think
ing about giving nuclear
weapons to allied countries.
No one, including the Presi-
dent himself. denies that the
spread Of nuclear weapons
would enormously compli-
cate the already difficult
problems Of arms control. II
the present H-bomb powers
have a hard time agreeing on
a formula merely to end
bomb tests, what would be
the chances for disarmament
II even more nations pos
sessed these weapons?
Would we be placing these
weapons in potentially ire
sponsible hands. thus in
creasing the chances Of
accidental war? What would
be the response Of the Rus
slams? Would they give these
arms to the Chinese and
their European satellites?
Wouldn't we create resent
ment among the allies which
are not among those chosen
for this dubious gift?

tional Committee for a Sane
Nuclear Policy, New York

alone. divorced from the only
things that give it luster,
justice, truth, loyalty, honor
and brotherhood, may be
but an instrument to degrade
personality, or even one with
which to commit spiritual
suicide.
What made the prodigal
son q prodigal is not the
RECOMMENDATION of a disciplined
home. 1t was a perverted
liberty that led to the far
country and swinish COM
panions. He did not know
what to do with the green
light. Drunk with the heady
wine Of liberty, he exchanged
the wholesome restraints Of
a normal home for the riot
Gus living of debased COM
rades. From that degrada-
ton he was ready to trade
his debauched liberty for
security. Make me-" he said.
"as one Of thy hired serv-
ants" What a mirror held
up to life!
Amid all the deafening
cries I'VE want freedom"
heard from the sounding tom
toms of Africa to the slick
schemes of Madison avenue.
the question is: Freedom
for what? Don't imagine you
belong to a noble breed just
because you want to be free.
Our free land is teeming with
slaves. They have enslaved
themselves with the very gift
Of freedom. Says a United
States Senator. as he sees
what SO many of his country
men are doing with the free
dom of the green light, "Un-
less discipline and obedience
can be brought back to Amer
lea we are on our way to the
junk heap" He was think
ing of what Americans are
doing with their freedom. BY
the way, one thing they have
done is to produce close to a
million alcoholics, and so
many gamblers that there has
now been started, Gamblers
Anonymous. There is no
human relationship in this
giddy, gilded age, so rich in
things and poor in soul, in
which there is not evident the
sordid symptoms of liberty
going to the devil for lack Of
authority.
America is a four-lane
highway lined by glittering
lights and built for speed,
comfort and pleasure. Un-
less restraining character is
at the wheel, these arteries of
travel will but lure to the
cemetery of little systems
which have had their day and
have been destroyed not by
red lights but by green. Free
dom is not the absence of dis
cipline. but the finding of the
disciplines which will make
us able to enter into our
inheritance and accomplish
our destiny. But liberty must
be limited in order to be pos
sessed. The best recipe for
making men is to give them
a master. George Matheson
had his eye on the perils Of
freedoms green light when,
knowing that mastery in any
realm is to be a slave, he
lifted a prayer:
Make me O CuptiUe Lord
And then / shall be free
Force me to render up my
SUord
And ! shall conqueror be.

Porishioner to Pulpit

I am an American Cath
olic puzzled as to exactly
what it is that American
Protestants, Christians like
ourselves, would object to
in a Catholic President who
was otherwise we'll qualified.
Now comes Rev. Ray A. Dill
lard, Minister Of the Church
of Christ, Southeast, who
writes that it is church
pressure to use his position
to further the Catholic Sys-
tenn. to the detriment Of nom
Catholics" and that Protes-
tants are aware Of this,
many from personal expert
ence." But Rev. billiard does
not make it clear just what
these preSsures are, or by
whom in the Catholic
Church they are exerted -
anywhere in the United
States at any time.
I have lived all of my life
in the large metropolitan
areas of Chicago, New York
and Washington, D. C. In
the many churches I at
tended over the years, I
have never heard politics
mentioned from the pulpit.
I attended parochial schools
and never heard politics
discussed there. I have
many acquaintances among
ProtestantS and other nom
Catholics and have never
heard from any Of them that
they ever had this personal
experience" which Rev. Dill
lard mentions.
I am one of those Catholics
who would not be too happy
to see a Catholic President
in the White House. While
he would no doubt lean over
backward to maintain the
separation of church and
state, we all know that a
President can't please every
one all Of the time, and any
thing at all which a Catholic
President might do that
would displease some peo-
pie would be blamed on his
Catholicism or on the
church.
Just before I read Rev
billiards. letter. I had beer
reading an editorial in
well-known Catholic weekly
magazine, the Ave Maria,
and I quote it:
During the next severa
months, this question Of thu

The Star reported: The
river was again this morning
covered with a skim Of ice
from shore to shore for the
third time this week, but 1t

particular ones simply be-
cause they are Catholics,
the less clear we will be able
to understand the question
Of a candidates religion IN
the proper light. Surely some
Americans will be against
this or that man simply be-
cause he is a Catholic. With
a soaring sense Of the in
justice Of this, Catholics
will react - sometimes wise
ly, sometimes not. But II it
is foolish to be against some
one merely because Of his
religion, it Is even more fool
ish to be for this or that one
solely on the grounds Of
religion" Gertrude NJ. Hoyt.

not be detected by existing monitoring
devices. Certainly, as long as there is no
adequate policing against shots in outer

debar ourselves from such experimental

A Chinese invasion of so
years ago ran a parallel with
one of more recent date. In
a story from Calcutta on
February %, 1910, The Star
reported: Chinese troops to-
day entered LaSsa, the capital
Of Tibet, and the residence
of the Dalai Lama, the
supreme head Of the Lhamist
hierarchy. who, upon the ap-
proach Of the soldiers, fled
with several Of his ministers
into India. Serious trouble
had been anticipated, owing
to the action of the small
Chinese army which, march
ing from SEE -Chuen, China.
subdued Eastern Tibet, levy
ing contributions on the
Lama'S people and showing
no respect for the monas
teries. The Tibetans, resent
ing the desecration of their
holy places, petitioned the
Chinese foreign board pray
ing that the Emperor of
China interfere in the in
terest Of the Buddhists. The
petition was disregarded. :"

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
The Green Light
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

The slaughter Of innocents
and Of those who are not in
nocent on the highways OF
the Nation has become a
matter Of primal concern. BY
startling announcements OF
casualty lists. by the frantic
appeals Of those most re-
sponsible for the national
safety and welfare an at
tempt is being made to dyna-
mite the complacency Of
reckless, lawless drivers. The
hope Is that those who join
the trafiic Of speeding wheels
may live and let live. Strange
is it indeed that q host OF
those who are normally con-
siderate when once behind a
driving wheel become de-
mons for speed and, with set
faces, disregarding the safe
guards the law sets up. risk
their own lives and the lives
Of others in the mad drive to
get there"
Much Of the havoc and
tragedy Of the highways re-
suits not from diSregarded
red lights, but from irrespon-
sible choices and chances
which come with the green
signal. The green light may
be even more deadly than
the red. 1t may spell abused
and mismanaged freedom.
The stop sign is positive and
imperative. The decision is
taken out of law-abiding
hands. To prince and pauper
the command is halt" But
when the green light says
go" within rather wide
limits, the driver is on his
own.
The green light Symbolizes
the chief peril Of freedom,
along the boulevards Of de-
mocracy. In one verse Of the
hymn usually called Amer
ica," there is this petition,
Long may our land be bright
with freedoms holy light" |"
That suggests that freedom
is a flame. 1t is, and is as
dangerous as fire. Like FIRE, it
must be controlled, otherwise
it will break into the con-
fiagration OF license. The
flame Of freedoms holy light
may leap from the high altar
of disciplined faith, and with
its fiery tongue proceed to
devour a persons or a ma
tion's birthright.
st. Paul was warning as
to what freedom run riot can
do to spoil life's music by
choices which destroy free
dom itself when he wrote to
the early Christians who
were reveling in their free
dom. For you were called
to freedom. Only do not
use freedom as an opportu-
nifty Of the flesh. But through
love be servants Of one an
other" What the great
apostle is saying is as true
in the goth century as it was
in the first. When freedom
