Arrange hood to protect Goals

covered with fine gray ash be-
fore they are ready to arrange
for barbecuine. Knock off most
Of the ash before beginning to
barbecue, as the ash holds in
the heat.
When barbecuing for a long
period. always have extra
briquets warming around the
edge Of the burning Goals. Cold
briquets added directly to the
fire will slow down the burning
process. Shake ash from tn e
briquets occasionally, for maxi

Let's Take No Chances

There is some reason to think, de-
spite what has happened in Paris, that
there was time when Mr.. KhruShchev
really wanted relaxation of East-West
tensions, and that he advocated this
with some risk to his position in the
Kremlin. If so, the w. incident, or,
more particularly, our official state
mentS in connection with it, must have
come as Earring shock to the Soviet
leader.
There is nothing in this, however,
which destroys the belief that the Soviet
leader deliberately and wilfully wrecked
the Summit conference. The conditions
which he laid down were as insulting
and as arrogant as anything ever put
forward by Hitler. Mr. Eisenhower
couldn't possibly accede to them, and
Mr.. KhruShchev knew this. Therefore,
whatever the reasons, it has to be as
Sumed that Mr.. KhruShchev has know
ingly embarked upon course which
will certainly further impair relations
between our two countries and which
may lead to armed collision.
In this situation, the statement
issued by Secretary Herter on May
takes on new significance Trying to
justify the U-2 flight over Russia, Mr..
Herter said the United States would be
derelict to its responsibility to the
American people and to the people of
the free world if it did not take such
measures as are possible unilaterally
IN nj fO hn
of surprise attack. In fact, the United
States has not and does not shirk this
responsibility.
1t was this language which en-
couraged the belief that it was our
purpose to continue with U-2 surveil-
lance. Mr.. Eisenhower disclosed in Paris,
however, that the U-2 flights, subsequent
to the Herter statement, had been sus-
pended and "are not to be resumed"
So presumably we will have to find
other means of keeping tabs on the
Russians with view to guarding against
surprise attacks.
We do not know whether this can
be done effectively without flying over
Russian territory. But there is one thing
which can and most certainly should
be done. This is to take every precaution
to guard against destruction of our
strategic air force in surprise assault.
The President, despite congressional
prodding, has dragged his feet on this
score, but there should be no more of
that If Mr.. KhruShchev will wreck a
Summit conference he may embark
upon other adventures, and we should
take no chances.
