hover, denounced the pro-
posal. But two years later
the voluntary-barl idea was
accepted by the Eisenhower
administration over the pro-
tests Of many top experts in
the Government. On Capitol
Hill hardly a voice was raised
then by Democrats in opposi-
ton. In fact, they gloated
over 1t as a surrender by Mr..
Eisenhower to the position
taken by Mr.. Stevenson dur
ing the 1856 campaign.
What brought about the
reversal? There is reason to
believe that our Allies played
a significant part in forcing
the voluntary ban. Thus, in
England the British Labor
Party for a long while de-
manded that a nuclear-test
ban be imposed and that the
storage of nuclear weapons
or the establishment of mis-
sile bases inside Great Brit
ain by the United States
should be prevented. Lately
the Labor Party, due to a
serious division in It's ranks
on this question, has shown
signs of wishing to wiggle out
Of the test-ban issue on the
political front.
In almost every country in
the world the test-ban idea
has been constantly agitated.
While many pacifists and
other sincere persons have
joined in the world wide
movement, still it is doubt
full whether the crusade could
have achieved such momen-
tum or far-reaching scope
without Communist funds
and the inspiration or direct
help of the Communist ap-
paratus in every country.
Tests conducted below
ground involve no danger,
whatsoever. There is no fall
out" the effects of which
have been grossly exaggerated
so as to produce a scare
propaganda.
The recent series of events
tends to support the belief
that the United States has
been outmaneuvered by the
Communists and that valuable
time has been lost that
should have been used to
Keep the Soviets from get
ting ahead Of us. It could
prove more important to the
safety of the American people
than exploration of space and
projected flights to the moon.

"reactionary Southerners" in
the Senate is demonstrably
nonsense. For Southern Sen
ators supported the bill by
a margin of 13 to 8 and the
vital leadership was provided
by a Southerner, Senator
John Sparkman of Alabama.
So if this bill is stopped
at all it will surely not be
stopped by that dreadful
thing called "the Southern
Senate filibuSter." It will be
stopped by the only surviving
dug-in position of old-time
conservatism, in the House,
where there is no filibuSter

In America; Martial Law De-

In a letter written from
Enugu, Nigeria, he said:
"It is difficult to appreci-

Soviet Believed Testing Secretly
As We Observe Ban Durino Talks


ing this way-and while the
talking goes on, SO far as we
know their tests may be going
on in that vast Russian) in
terror"
President Kennedy has
limited but has not fatty
stated that there would be q
resumption Of testing. He has
said the United States would
continue negotiations at Gen
eva as far as possible so the
world will know that it is
not this country's fault If the
talks fail and testing is re-
Sumed.
The whole issue is per-
meated with hypocrisy. The
mere ban on the testing Of
nuclear weapons will not save
any country from q holo-
cauSt. The crusade instigated
by the Communists through
out the world to stop nuclear
tests has given q misleading
impression. For the signing
of such a treaty doesn't mean
either the United Ste tes or
the Soviet Union would agree
not to use in the future the
nuclear weapons already
tested or to destroy them
altogether SO they never
could be used for inhumane
purposes.
So what is the real motive
behind the worldwide pres
sure the Soviets have created
in order to get a ban on
,nuclear testing? Also, why
have they prolonged the ne
gotiations and set up OBJ
Stacle after obstacle to cause
the Western powers to be de-
prived Of any treaty or agree
ment on a nuclear-test ban?
There could have been only
one object-to delay the ne
gotiationS as long as possible
while the United States re-
Trained voluntarily from any
testing.
The Eisenhower admin
Stration at first resisted such
pressure, but the Democrats
and many persons in the
scientific world thought much
would be gained In the court
of world opinion by q "un-
lateral" or voluntary ban. At
the time, Adlai Stevens n first

DAVID LAWRENCE

The United States is still
Star-gazing and moo gazing
while the Soviet government
is gaining its biggest victory
below the earth's surface.
For two years and seven
months. now this country
has voluntarily refrained
from any nuclear testing,
though there is every indica-
ton that the Soviets, while
processing to DO likewise, have
been cheating.
Since it is impossible as yet
to detect with certainty any
underground testing of nu-
clear devices, the experts here
believe the whole crusade to
ban nuclear tests is based on
a Communist trick to outwit
the United States.
Many members of Congress,
including Democrats, now are
in favor Of resuming tests.
Senator Symington, Demo-
crat Of Missouri, has sug-
gested that reasons Of Ma
tional security and the pos
Sibility that the Soviet Un-
ion has been secretly con-
du"ting tests are forcing the
United States to a renewal
Of weapon development He
added that the Soviet Union
might have, decided not to
reach an agreement at the
Geneva conferences because
of the tremendous unilateral
advantage we had passed over
to them voluntarily" by de-
claring a suspension on Oct
ober 81, 1858.
Gen. EiSenhower-who as
President approved the vol
untary ban-has come out
now for a resumption of test
ing. He put it this way in
q public comment the other
day in Cincinnati:
I'VE cannot very much
longer put this thing on ice.
The time has come when we
are going to have to fix a
date. I told my own people
before I left office we were
going to have to take steps
to lay down a date where we
would no longer be bound by
an agreement tacit or other
wise. We have already made
that statement, that we are
no longer bound to abstain
from testing, but we haven't
yet fixed a date. If we are

House Held Citadel of Conservatism,
While Liberal TO- -Modeidtes Run Senate

President Kennedy's expe-
rience with this Congress has
strikingly shoYn within five
short months where lies the
myth in the national politi-
cal power structure.
Certain long-existing facts
&re now so totally eStab-
lished that even the myth
makers among the ultra
liberals will have to accept
them, assuming they propose
to accept the facts of life.
/. The last citadel of old
fashioned conservatism any
where within the American
Government is in the House
of. Representatives. It is rep
resented in both parties and
from all sections. Whether
1t is a modern and moderate
and therefore a good" con-
servatism or an excessively
past-ridden and therefore a
bad" conservatism is not at
issue in this column.
The present point simply
Is that it does exist, that it
exists. only in the House, of
Representatives. and that it
therefore contains the one
true hope for conservatives
in the 1862 congressional
elections. If they really want
to go. anywhere. they will
forget these elections as they
apply to the Senate and con-
centrate on the House. '

foreseeable future remain in.
control of its fairly liberal
to-moderate center-the men
who believe in some liberal
ism, but not too much, and
some conservatism, but not
too much. Only insofar as
this center makes temporary
common cause with conserv-
atiSm on one occasional issue
or another will conservatives
have any real power there.
This, of course, has really
been the case for years. But
as it happens, it has been
most strikingly illustrated
during Mr.. Kennedy's early
months, and never more SO
than in the Senate's approval
by better than 2 to / Of the
Presidents $6 billion housing
program.
This is the fourth Of Mr..
Kennedy's five major legisla-
tive. proposals to pass the
Senate. Now. the out-and-
out conservatives felt this
measure to be intolerably
liberal. At first glance, in,
deed, it did seem to have a
strong flavor of that big rock
candy mountain and of pie
in the sky, especially in its
40-year house mortgages for
persons in the $4,000 to
$4,000 q year bracket.
But it appealed to the
controlling center of the
Senate because its deeper

The matter Of President
Kennedy's aching back is be-
ing handled with a singular
lack of realism by the White
House. The President and
his press secretaries are much
to blame.
The President is naturally
bored with his back ailments
and would prefer not to dis
cuss them. Together with
his family, he makes such
a fetish Of physical fitness
it must be doubly irksome
to find that by OVERRIDING
it he brought back what he
most dislikes.
Add to these factors vexa-
tion over the temporary i'm
pairment of the politically
effective image he has Gre
ated of tireless youth and
vigor. Thell stir in a nor
NAL portion Of male vanity.
This mixture, with which
they are Of course familiar,
obviously scared off White
House Press Secretary Sal
niger and his assistant, An
drew Hatcher, and they have
not been doirg the job for
which the taxpayers pay
them. Both have shown
themselves as ill-informed
and unwilling to insist to
the President that his physi-
cal condition is news.
The pitched battle between

White House Handling of News Aspect
OfPresident's AiIment Held UnreoIistic

Mr.. Salinger and angered
newsmen was a dilly. He had
a chip on his shoulder; re
porters had justified COM
plants. Nobody had any oil
to pour on the troubled
waters.
Perhaps the weather, which
is unseasonably hot and hu-
mid, plus still lingering IA
tigue on all sides from the
Kennedy travels just con-
cluded, were partly respon-
sible. The President earned
his ailment; many who &C
companied him have either
a new one or recurrence of
an old spot Of bother.
Worst of all, is the spread
ing confusion over the Pres
ident'S condition. The very
last thing to do in public
situations is to appear to be
covering UP. One whiff Of a
secret brings on an intense
and concentrated attention
whose first casualties are
proportion anG perspective.
AS one reporter put it:
when they start lying about
it everybody has to cover it,"
Another unfortunate result
Is that grievances of all kinds
begin promptly to be aired.
The reporters who accompan-
led the Kennedys to Europe
had much to complain of al
ready. So had the television
technicianS and photogra-

piers, for whom efficient
planning and careful opera
tionS are a must.
The KennedyS personally
are such a success that Mr..
Salinger and Mr.. Hatcher
and others Of the Presiden-
tial staff-have had a tend
ency to brush off all COM
plants. 1t should have been
apparent that the honeymoon
q would not last forever and
that old friends would then
be needed. The President
has showed personal aware
ness Of this; he is, after all,
q Democrat aware of the vi
cissitudes of his Democratic
. predecessors.
In the end Mr.. Salinger
and Mr.. Hatcher must be
told the story and tell the
public before the rumors get
too long a start. "How sick
is the President?" is already
a commonplace of the cocktail
lounges. It is generally felt
by byStanders of the Can,
adian visit that those few
ShovelSful of Canadian soil
are an inadequate reason for
SO much pain.
The White House is a gold
fish bowl and the parot HAL
ism of a campaign must be
succeeded by the larger view
and a very great imperson-
ality about many aspects of
the Presidents life in it. These
are the old lessons which ap-
parently always have to be
relearned.

implications. are in truth far
more moderate than ultra
liberal. For this is an effort
to help not the poor but
rather the middle class so
long caught. between the very
rich and the very needy.
Those who build these
houses will themselves be-
come less and less open to
the = demagoguery of the
ultra-liberals, the bigger their
equity as property owners
becomes. prime Minister
Macmillan of Britain once
told this correspondent, with
a wave of his elegant hand,
in substance that no known
remedy against political
crackpotiSm was more effec-
tive than to make men
-nOmeoWnerS-no matter now
big the mortgage.)
So the centrists were really
opening a counter-movement
here against the old flat-out
Fedora subsidy called public
housing. This strictly hand
out affair, though it has
good aspects, has long been
a kind of happy dreamboat
on which the ultra-liberals
have floated along, hurting
millions to the populace.
The sooner it is sunk, and
a decent alternative pro-
Vided, the sooner the influ-
ence Of the ultra-liberals will
sink to zero. 1t will cost
plenty, undeniably; but it
will be worth it.
And, more important to
the theme Of this piece, the
Senate'S action here has
again shown that the tireless
clack Of the ultra liberals

turally, we get the brunt of
the complaint, and it is SIM
ply because they can point
to New Orleans, Little Rock,
and incidents involving Afri-
can dignitaries visiting the
United States. Now comes
the news from Alabama.
"The Congo has added q
lot to the feeling of mis-
trust. The attacks on the
Embassy in Lagos and other
emon Strations can, of
course, be traced to a latent
feeling aroused by our adver-
saries. There remains a lot
to undo here and a lot to do
at home to regain and con-
tinue to build American pres

to have it nullified by news
from the South.

that white and black can
work together in America is
another fact that interests
them very much. The ap-
pointment of more qualified
Negroes to serve abroad
would, at this time, be an
lace card" in the hands of
the United States. These
appointments need not be re-
stricted to African countries
alone. Small European ma
tions are being used indi-
rectly to infiltrate Africa
with communism. I am sure
you are aware Of this. If

The problem is a national
one. but the immediacy of
it is in the South.
The States Of Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana
cannot forever agitate and
provoke violence by refusing
to follow court rulings and
Interstate Commerce Com
mission ruling, some 16 years
old, which forbid segregation
of interstate bus and railway
stations.
Montgomery cannot long
endure the absurdity of hav-
ing long had desegregated
local bus service, but still
turning out mobs to enforce
segregation at the bus term
inal.
If persons who are within
their rights are mobbed and
thrown into Jail, we will SOW
and reap a harvest Of greater
violence.
The Freedom Riders, and
those citizens who are denied
the right. to vote, do not
need Communists to tell
them Of injustices. But If
indefensible defiance of laws
and ICC regulations contin-
ues, the Communists will
profit most. They already
are profiting in Nigeria.
The real leadership of the
South, which so long has
been doing nothing, now
must act. It can only begin
with acceptance of the fact
that the Negro citizen is en-
titled to the rights which
citizenship gives - no more
and no less. This is a simple
admission. It does no vio-
lence to private or social
life. But nothing can be done
in the South that does not
start from this basic admis-
sion.
