tects Of policy remain mute,
we are left with a vast feel
ing of unease and worry
not alleviated by frequent re-
assurances that all is well
and that we only seem to be
weaker than the Soviets. The
gulf between us and Russia
is not meaningful, we are
told. The Nation seems to be
living on verbal barbiturates.

seems to be that Russia, de-
spite missile superiority. will
not attack. She is, the theory
seems to say, no longer able
to give orders to Red China.
She is turning increasingly
to the West in trade and ex-

barrass the West during the

there is the possibility Of

Water Authority to Buy

The Fairfax County Water

to purchase the Pimmit Hills
water and sewer system from
the Pimmit Service Corp. for
$1.l million.
The corporation, owned by

estimated 1000 customers. The
water authority, which last
year acquired the 5,000-cus-
toner Annandale Water Co., is
trying to organize a county

bonds within the next 30 to
so days.
The bonds will provide money
for the purchase of the Pim-

water to Dulles international
Airport, he said.
Ownership of the Pimmit
Hills system will be transferred

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Last u. S. Offer for Attest Ban

paign for peaceful coexist-
ence, were, about to yield on
the inspection issue, the pro-
testers in this country were
ready with the "all-but" pro-
posal, exempting under
ground testing but banning
all others. that was almost
certain to be rejected by the
Russians.
1t is unlikely, at this writ
ing, that Moscow will take
the responsibility for break
ing of the talks. That onus,
the Reds hope, will be borne
by the United States. The
British, on their part, are
most unhappy about the
whole thing. They really
want a test ban, for a num-
Der of compelling reasons.
and they support the new
United States position with
obvious reluctance.
Even despite Russian in
slant rejection of the quail
fled test ban proposals, it
remains perfectly possible
that there might be Soviet
acceptance ultimately. The
Soviet technique has been to
extract the greatest possible
propaganda advantage from
the test ban issue, and the
experts in the Kremlin can
no doubt come up with some
devious trick to exploit the
current situation. After all,
the Soviet Union stands to
lose nothing by making paper
concessions. Under the exist
ing setup, Soviet testing can
De resumed at any time, as
OF course can American.
And the Moscow govern
ment has another ace up it's
sleeve. That is represented
by the French nuclear test
just staged in the far
reaches of the Sahara. France
is not a party to the Geneva
test ban parley. But France
is a member Of NATO and
allied with Britain and the
United States. All the Krem-
lin has to do is to charge
that the West has resumed
testing, thereby freeing the
Soviet Union from its agree
ment to refrain from tests
so long as the West does.
