toward eventual disarmament
which will cost us little and
gives us much. Our greatest
need is speed. Secrecy has not
helped us to stop the Russians.
Openness should help us now to
go ahead full steam with the
needed rapid developments.
Therefore we should abolish Sc
crecy whether the Russians go
along or not.
/ AL this will be Of great help
in our negotiations with Russia.
Our openness will show up
their closed and regimented So
ciety in an unmerciful light.
even believe that a policy OF
openness on our side will pro-
duce a favorable-if limited
response from Russia.
When we declassified reactor
technology, the Russians fol-
lowed suit. We found out quite
a few things about their reac-
tors.
Russians Might Follow
If we share with the rest of
the world nuclear explosives for
peaceful purposes, the Russians
may have to do likewise.
In the long run, individual
Russian scientists will certain
ly accept the desirability of
open discussion. Their influence
with tn cir political leaders
might make itself felt over the
years.
There Is no short cut in the
road toward peace and free
dom. The actions we can take
today may appear difficult and
the progress which we can
make Is limited. What Is most
important, however, is to make
progress in the right direction.
If we conclude as phony
agreement on nuclear test ces-
Evening star., 1960-08-19

cannot be done as long as we
keep our secrets.
Our own technical efforts are
hampered by secrecy. If Sc
crecy were abolished, the ideas
of the whole scientific commu-
nifty would become available for
our defense.
Today defense is discussed
behind closed doors by highly
able but limited groups of ex-
perts. Fast technical progress
demands the widest partici-
patton.
People Misled
All these arguments are i'm
portant but in my opinion the
greatest damage has been done
in a different way.
We live in a democracy. Our
collective actions are deter
mined by the will of the people.
This will cannot be reasonably
guided in an atmosphere of Sc
crecy.
I have given arguments to
show that our people are mis-
led when they believe that nu-
clear tests can be controlled
They would not have been
misled if all the facts had been
available to them all the time.
The very aura Of secrecy, which
surrounds all matters nuclear,
has prevented open discussion
and has given rise to an emo
tional approach and to our
present predicament.
Society Needs Information
Our society needs freedom
of information If it is to func-
ton properly.
Details of military operations
can and should be kept secret.
We must not broadcast the po-
sitions Of our nuclear subma-
rines. But there are extremely
strong arguments for complete
freedom Of technical informa-
ton.
I do not propose that all our
secrets should be declassified
promptly. But I do propose that
in the next two or three years
our secrecy policy should be
carefully re-examined. I hope
that such a re-examination will
lead to an orderly liquidation Of
all technical secrets.
This we owe to our hopes for
disarmament. We owe it to the
unity Of the Western world and
we owe 1t to the unhampered
exercise Of the sovereign rights
Of our people.
Step Toward Disarmament
OF course, unilateral openness
will not bring about disarma-
ment. The Russians must open
up, too. Obviously they won't
do 1t soon. If ever.
However, abolition Of secrecy

POLICY FOR PEACE
Less Secrecy Called
Key to Disarmament
By DIR. EDWARD TELLER


>Copyright, 1860. The Houston Post
There should be no disarma- =
ment without inspection. There
can be no inspection without
information. Information can
not be adequate as long as we
permit secrecy to continue.
We had hopes that nuclear
explosions would betray them
selves. We tried to work out a
system to police these explo-
sions without abolishing Sc
crecy. Our efforts proved futile.
If we want disarmament, we
must accept complete opennesS.
Such openness is needed for a
justified trust between nations.
OpennesS is the lifeblood Of
democracy. I doubt that open
ness is compatible with die
tatorships.
How did Secrecy serve us so
far? While we had a nuclear
monopoly there seemed to
be reason to kee pour secrets.
But today the Russians are in
possession Of every major tech
nical secret which we discov-
cred.
Some Of these secrets they
learned from spies. Most Of the
secrets they found out by their
own excellent technical efforts.
Problem Of Secrecy
It is claimed that we need
secrecy in order to prevent the
spread Of nuclear weapons to
still other nations. But we put
ourselves into a questionable
position if we deny to our
friends, knowledge which our
enemies possess.
Besides. every nation which
acquired nuclear explosive ma
terials promptly succeeded In
making q bomb.
To produce the materials is
difficult. But the methods of
production have been fully pub
liShed. These materials are pro-
duced in every nuclear reactor.
What limits the spread Of
nuclear arms Is nuclear tech
nology and not nuclear secrecy.
On the other hand, we have
paid dearly for our policy Of
secrecy. We have erected arti-
fetal barriers between other
free nations and ourselves. In
an age which requires common
action to build q lawful world
community, we have accepted
the divisive power of secrecy.
Even our discussions with our
closest allies have found secrecy
standing in the way.
The French were forced to
make an independent effort in
order to explode an atomic
bomb. Would it not have been
wiser to employ the great tai
entS of French scientists in q
common undertaking, aimed at
increasing Western security?
How can we expect that
NATO shall develop the best
plan for defense when the in
struments Of defense are not
fully known to all participants?
In order to be prepared. one
has to forsee possible future
weapon developments. This
Evening star., 1960-08-19

sation, this may endanger peace
and in the long run be the
doom of freedom.
We should adopt the policy
of an open world and take con-
structive measures toward hon.
est cooperation with everyone
who is willing to cooperate
with us.
In this way we could make
a significant step along the
difficult road toward peace.

Chain Letter
Move Started

A "chain letter" campaign
to drum up support for Adlai
E. Stevenson as a presidential
candidate has been launched by
a group of county housewives.
Led by Mrs. Nyle T. Camp,
of Chevy Chase Village, the
women began by sending letters
and "I'm for Stevenson" post
cards to five or more friends,
with the request that they sign
and return the cards and then
dispatch similar requests to
their own acquaintances.

people makes 100; 10 by 100
makes 1000" the letter observ.
ers. "Only three rounds later,
there will be 100000 cards for

of injuries he suffered in n

Norman Harris, AZ, of no fixed
address, drew a 30-day Jail SEN
tence following his conviction
on one of the charges, but under
the Circumstances, the penalty
seemed moderate.
To begin with, it quite clearly
was tempered by the balrny i'm.
pact of the season.
In pr0nOuncing sentenc e,
Judge Einar B. Christensen told
Harris: 81 am of a mind to give
you go days, but the weather
seems to be getting pretty nice
now, so I'll just make it 80
days"
Secondly, Judge Christensen
allowed Harris own appraisal
of his condition to prevail as he
dismissed one of the drunken
ness charges. Impressed by
Harris plea of guilty to a
charge of being drunk on Tues
day and his stout denial of guilt
on a similar charge filed early
Thursday, the jurist told the de-

I Free was stopped at a traf-
lfic light and was struck from
the rear. Doctors testified that
the whip-lash effect of the col.
lision aggravated an arthritic
condition Free had before the
accident
AS a result, Free said, he
now is able to turn his head
only slightly in each direction
and pain has limited his ability
to work. He sells shoes.
Free said he has lost about
$500 a year income since the
accident. He sued for $4,000.
Paul John Sedgwick, attorney
for the Carey firm, said he may
appeal the decision.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-04-21

He then imposed the 30-day
term.
AS a last request, Harris re-
signedly asked Judge Christen-
sen if he could work on the
road"
Eyes, you certainly may" was
the reply. you'll get a chance
to earn a few dollars and you
can get drunk all over again. /"
AS Harris was led away by a
bailiff, he uttered a fervent
THANK you, your honor"
Not included in the trial testi-
mony was the fact that police
records indicate Harris also was
arrested for intoxication last
Monday, but posted collateral
and therefore did not have to
stand trial.

Branding Iron Quip
And, finally, this is the
Nixon who can amuse even the
reporters who have heard the
speech before by occasionally
bringing down the house with
a bit of wit. He did this most
conspicuously in Houston, when
the Texas editors presented him
with a personal branding iron.

gazed at the brand in mock
relief. Il was terribly afraid. "

folksy figure of these anecdotes.
This is the Vice President of
the United States, the expe-
rlenced hand in world affairs,
the man who reminds his
listeners in every talk of the
Sd countries he has visited, the
conversations he has had with
Mr.. Khrushchev, the indignity
he suffered at the hands of the
Venezuelan rioters and the
adulation with which he was
greeted in Poland.
In both roles-the typical
American boy and the expert
fenced world leader-Mr. Nixon
won great acceptance on this
trip. 1t is clearly too early to
tell whether American voters
will find him preferable to the
Democratic nominee, but the
skill and energy with which he
presented his case these past
four days ought to keep any
Democrat from being overcon-
fident.
Evening star., 1960-06-22

"Why do I say that?" he
would ask himself. What
should be our course?" What
are the Alternatives"
In framing his answers to
these questions, Mr.. Nixon did
not entirely abandon the old
debater's tricks of setting up
straw men and drawing false
analogies.
In one interview, for in
stance, he compared the Com
munist-inspired riots that kept
the President out of Japan to
the act of a thief robbing a
church. Sure" he said, the
thief may rob the church and
in the short run, he's the win
ner. cause he's got the money.
But whose prestige has been
damaged? Not the church's."
Offers Two Pictures
OF greater significance for
the coming campaign than the
adequacy of such arguments,
is the unmistakable fact that
Mr.. Nixon has learned how to
present two pictures of him
self to his public that will be
very useful when, as he be-
lieveS likely, he is running
against Senator Kennedy.
The first is the picture OF
Mr.. Nixon as the typical
American boy from a typical
small town. This is the man
who can tell the people of Will
liston, N. Oak, how much he
enjoyed the Legion parade, be-
cause Il was raised in a town
just about this size and I re-

North and South Dakota and
Missouri.
1t was the last major tour
he will make before he goes to
Chicago next month to claim
the Republican presidential
nomination. and as campaign
warmup it could not have been
more pleasing to the candidate
and his hackers.
Large and enthusiastic crowds
greeted him and Mrs. Nixon in
Houston, Fargo and st. Louis
and in many of the smaller
towns they visited. At parades.
airport terminals and hotel re-
ceptions, the Nixons proved
again they have few, if any.
peers as campaigning couple.
More important, this tour
gave the Vice President a
chance to test public opinion
on some of the major issues
he will be debating with the
Democratic nominee during the
forthcoming campaign.
Declaration Not Final
His speeches the past days
should be viewed more as ex-
ploratory efforts than as the
flat declarations of position
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York urged him to make
before the convention meets.
His farm talk in North Dakota
Monday night, for instance,
was his first brush with the
subject in over year, but Mr..
Nixon stayed clear of the
TOUGHEST part of the question
price supports.
His speech on economic
growth in st. Louis yesterday
opposed increasing the size
and cost of Government" but
in another paragraph he prom
ised he would mot hesitate TO
resort to Government action
where it provides the best road
to progress"
But not even Mr.. Nixon's
enemies could accuse him of
always telling his audiences
what they wanted to hear. In
Texas, where opposition to oil
imports is strong, he said it
would be completely irrespon-
sible" for him to hold out
hopes" of tighter quotas,
though I know it would be
very popular with this audi
ence." And the North Dako-
tans' dislike of the soil bank
did not keep him from sup
porting an expanded program
of land rental.
The dominant issue of the
trip was, of course, foreign
policy. Mr.. Nixon argued at
each stop along the way that
the U-2 incident. the summit
blowup. the cancellation of the
Presidents trip to Japan and
the increasing Communist in
f1uence in Cuba did not neces-
sarily represent long-term set
backs to American interests or
the cause of peace. In each
case, he suggested, the Com
munists may have overplayed
their hand and the thing
may boomerang on them"
NOn-PartiSan Tone
He told reporters at one stop
it was too early to tell what
effect these events would have
on Republican election hopes.
But an American victory or
two in the cold war would GER
tainly strengthen Mr.. Nixon's
hand. For the present, one of
the correspondents accompany
ing him remarked, he is in the
position of arguing that I'VE
