Let's Eoce It

An American spokesman, putting
the best face on the matter, says there
Is no reason to assume that the Geneva
nuclear test ban talks have been
reduced to state Of wreckage" by the
Russians. The requirements Of public
relations may call for some such brand
OF sturdy optimism. But let's face it.
the latest Soviet demand, If adhered to,
surely means that any prospect Of test
ban has been wrecked beyond possibility
Of repair.
This Soviet demand, as expressed
BY Russian Delegate Tsarapkin, adheres
to familiar form. He is against put
ting one man in charge of the executive
agency which would control the test ban
agreement and supervise inspection of
suspected violations. Instead, he wants
q three-member control board-a
WeSterner, a neutral and Russian
which would, in effect, give the Soviets
9 veto power. This is the same device
BY which the Russians hope to under
mine Secretary- General Dag Hammar-
skiold and destroy the United Nations
as an effective agency.
The kreml1n knows, of course, that
the United States is not going to agree
to any such palpable fraud-either at
Geneva or in the U. N. So why does
Mr.. Tsarapkin make the demand? The
answer, obviously, is that he is acting
pursuant to instructions from his
superiors in the Kremlin. And what is
their purpose? They want to Stan and
stall-to drag out endlessly these test
rban talks which have already taken up
212 years without any visible evidence
Of real progress. Why are they stalling?
This is what used to be called, back in
the pin money days, the $64 question.
But the answer or answers seem fairly
obvious. One is that the Russians do
not want an enforceable agreement
banning tests. Another, supported by
many we'll Uniformed Americans, is that
they may be secretly conducting their
own underground tests, secure in the
knowledge that the United States, while
the talks drag on, will not do likewise.
This raises the gravest sort of threat
to our security. President Kennedy has
said that he wanted to make one more
serious effort to reach an agreement.
And perhaps this is right. But we can
not afford to play this negotiating game
on RuSSia'S terms much longer-unleSs
we are willing to gamble dangerously
with our national security.

TrionqIe's Third Side

1t takes three sides to make tri-
angle, except in the case Of the Federal
Triangle. Although the Government
buildings within the triangular area
bounded by Pennsylvania and ConStitu-
ton avenues and Fifteenth street
originally were to form full triangle
and are still called the Federal Triangle
the Pennsylvania avenue side Of the
design remains uncompleted. It is good
news, therefore, that the missing seq
mentS may be supplied in the near
future.
The Triangle project, first Of the
Inodern-day Federal reconstruction
undertakings, was started with a grand
rush and blare Of publicity nearly IS
years ago. First step was the razing Of
the old buildings along the south side
OF Pennsylvania avenue-and here
trouble was encountered at the very
outset. 1t was found that the old Post
Office building, between 18th and 18th
streets, had been built so substantially
out OF steel and granite that plans for
demolishing it had to be abandoned for
the time being. Furthermore, strong
opposition arose to razing Of the old
Southern Railway Building and the
adjacent District Building. So this trio
OF structures survived the original land
clearing undertaking:
This necessitated change in plans
for the overall triangle program. The
Post Office building stood in the way of
a circular extension of the Internal
Revenue Building and thus prevented
completion Of what the architects had
proposed as grand circle" In the
heart Of the triangle. And west Of
the new Post Office Building planned
grand plaza" was postponed, pending
final decisions with regard to the
Southern Railway Building and the
District Building. The grand plaza" to-
day is an unsightly parking lot.
Now, however, Federal authorities
are getting the original triangle plans
out Of mothballs, with view to carrying
out the uncompleted portions Of the pro-
ject within the next several years. There
have been suggestions that the District
Building be retained, since its archi-
lecture does not clash with that Of the

workers selected will be quali-
fled as agricultural experts,
health workers, teachers Of
English and perhaps other
fields. The people, young or
old, with such experience or
training already have employ
ment with a future or good
employment opportunities.
They are needed in this coun-
try and few of them will be
available. Those too young or
inexperienced to have such
jobs or prospects cannot af-
ford to give two years out Of {,
their lives to volunteer for for
eign service at a time when
they most need the training
and experience this country
provides. Those of their age
will have moved ahead in
needed experience and Job
opportunities while they were
absent. Foreign workers when
they return are given little or
no credit by employers for
experience under foreign con-
ditions. 80
The program is certain to
cost the Government much
more than expected. Due to
working and living conditions
in many countries, many
workers are certain to become
i'll or suffer injuries. Many
will need to be returned home
and be hoSpitalized at Gov
ernment expense. Perhaps
this will be covered by iasur-
ance. On the whole we can
be certain that in later life
many Of these workers sent
abroad to work under un-
certain conditions when they
are in need or become Ill will
consider they have a just
claim on the Government.
I conservatively predict
that after this program has
been in operation for q few
months or less than q year q
majority Of the volunteers
win have returned or been re-
turned home. In order to
salvage the program the Gov
er1lment viii put all who re-
main abroad-in order to
keep them thereon q good
salary with adequate expense
accounts. Surely q much more
practical program and one less
expensive would be TO enlarge
our present foreign activities
in the fields Of education,
health and agriculture. The
need is for trained and ex-
perienced workers In these
fields and not for recent coll
lege graduates and other
beginners. J. Blaine Gwin.

triangle buildings. We hope way can
be found to 1T the District Building
into the final Federal Triangle plans.
Demise of the gray, austere old Post
Office building and of the Southern Rail-
way Building, now occupied by the
Coast Guard, would be no great loss to
the city, however. And the "grand
circle" and grand plaza" projects would
be distinct assets to Washington.

THE POLITICAL MILL
G. G.o.P. Weighing New Pory Chief
BY GOULD LINCOLN

rifice stiH more Of his busi-
ness interests, making neces-
sary an annual salary.
Mr.. Miller, an influential
member Of the House Of Rep
resentatives, would be con-
fronted with the problem Of
carrying on his work on Cap
itol Hill-which has become
more onerous with the pass
ing yearS-and at the same
time conducting the office of
national chairman. In the old
days a national chairman was
only active during q few
months of a political cam
paign. Not so today. 1t is true
that Senator Morton had a
similar problem, but it has
not been easy. Furthermore,
the Kentucky Senator is Iit-
orally forced to give up the
Craftsmanship If he is to have
a real chance for victory as
he comes up for reelection.
A graduate of Notre Dame
University and Of the Albany
Law School of Union Uni
versity, Mr.. Miller has had
wide legal experience, as
well as that Of q legislator
for the last 10 years. He was
an assistant prosecutor, serv-
ing under the late Supreme
Court Justice Robert A.
Jackson, jr., at the Nazi war
criminal trials in Nuremberg,
Germany. He is just AZ years
old and a driving force.
Both MiddIe-Of- Readers
Both Mr.. Bliss and MIR.
Miller are regarded as mid
dle-of-the readers in the Re-
publican Party, neither
strongly conservative nor
strongly liberal. Mr.. Miller
supported former Vice PreSi-
dent Nixon for the presiden-
tial nomination last year and
at one time sought to have
the New York delegation in
the House go on record for
Mr.. Nixon's nomination. This
despite the fact Gov Nelson
A. Rockefeller of New York
was playing around with the
idea of becoming a candidate
and Withholding his Unquali-
fled support Of the Nixon
candidacy - until the time
Of the Republican National
Convention in Chicago last
July. 1t is reliably reported
that Gov. rockefeller, o candi-
date for reelection next year
and a potential candidate for
a presidential nomination
two years later, will in no
way oppose the selection of
Mr.. Miller for national chair
man. Indeed, the Governor
might even welcome it. There
has been no suggestion that
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, the bright hope Of
the conservative branch of
the party, is opposed to Mr..
Miller, either.
Ray Bliss is very popular
with members of the Nation
al Committee. If the COM
mittee is left to its own de-
vices. 1t may very well vote
him into the chairmanShip,
provided he is willing to take
it. There is no Republican
President in the White House
to dictate the choice. Mr..
Nixon and Gov. Rockefeller
are disputing the leadership
of the party, and Senator
Goldwater is going along with
neither Of them. <
What some Of the Republi-
can leaders would like very
much is to have Mr.. Miller
and Mr.. Bliss working as a
team, with the former doing
the travelling and delivering
speeches for the party, and
the latter doing the real Or
ganization spade work. That,
however. might be difficult
to work out.

En1bottIed Peace Corps

Everyone who understands
the possibilities and lirnita-
tionS Of volunteer service and
knows something of condi-
tions in foreign lands real
izes the Peace Corps project
is doomed to fail. It seems
likely most workers sent
abroad under this plan will
stay there but a little while.
In the normal American
way of life, volunteer service
is a necessary and usual part
of the way we function as a
democratic nation. Most peo-
pie take part in one or more
kinds Of volunteer service, as
community or church work.
ers, on committees, In hoSpi-
tails or other institutions and
in emergencies caused by
floods, fires, hurricanes etc.
Many take training for such
services. Always though they
give their services for brief
periods Of a few days or
weeks, or for certain hours
or days Of each week. They
take time out from their reg
ular tasks or use spare time
for their volunteer work. To
give full time to volunteer
service for one or two years
Is not normal and is imprac-
tical except for a few people
Of means.
Our officials will find that
the best prospects for foreign
service will not be those who
rush to volunteer. Too many
Of these will be motivated by
their emotions, by a desire
for excitement and adven-
ture rather than by a true
realization of the challenge
Of the task. The best pros
poets will, be uncovered by q
recruiting campaign where
the Government seeks out the
worker rather than where
the prospect seeks the Job
or opportunity. The emotion
al content of this project is
far too great for its success.
In all foreign endeayor, es-
pecially, we must be reaIiSts.
It is true that in church
work and especially in the
mission field, many dedicated
workers give their time year
after year in foreign lands.
They do this without pay or
for little more than their liv-
ing expenses. They are Sus-
tanned in such work by re-
ligious motives. The Peace
Corps viii not go abroad as
religious workers but as spe-
cialists in many fields.

man in June to guide the
@. o. P. in the all-important
1862 campaign, when the
88th Congress will be elected,
as well as Governors in many
important States, including
California, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Connecti-
cut. Senator Thruston B.
Morton of Kentucky, who has
held the office for two years
and has done an outstanding
job, has announced he will
resign in June and call a
meeting Of the Republican
National Committee to elect
his successor.
AS Of today the choice
seems to lie between Ray Bliss
of Ohio, State chairman, and
Representative William E.
Miller of New York, chair
man of the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Com
mittee. Three other possible
contenderS for the chairman
ship are Arthur E. Summer
field of Michigan, former
Postmaster General and ma
tional chairman during the
1852 campaign when Dwight
D. Eisenhower was elected
President and a Republican
Congress was chosen; Fred.
c. Scrihner, jr., of Portland,
Me-, former UnderSecretary
of the Treasury, and Fred A.
Seaton of Nebraska, former
Secretary of the Interior.
In a measure, the Republi-
cans must make up their
minds whether to choose a
technician in politics, a real
pro, like MIR. Bliss, who con-
Quoted a terrifically success
ful campaign in his State
last fall, carrying it for the
Nixon-Lodge national Repub-
lican ticket to the surprise of
the Democrats, or to go to a
more dynamic personality to
lead their drive, like Mr.. Mil
Ter, who also won laurels in
the recent campaign when,
as chairman of the congress
sional committee, he helped
to wrest % House seats from
the Democrats. They must
also make up their minds
whether to select a Midwest
erner, like Mr.. Bliss or Mr..
Summerfield, or an Eastern
er-Mr. Miller or Mr.. Scrib-
ner.
Knows Organization
Mr.. Bliss frequently has
been mentioned for national
chairman, but he would not
let his name be considered.
AS the years have passed he
has become more and more
active in politics, giving gen.
erously Of his time. He is a
tremendous worker and he
knows about organization. He
heads today the committee
which Chairman Morton ap-
pointed soon after the close
Of the 1860 campaign to plan
for better Republican Party
organizations in the great
metropolitan areas. where
the election was won for
President John F. Kennedy
last November, like New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, De-
troit and Boston. He had his
own experience with such
areas in Ohio-Cleveland and
other populous cities-and he
should, out Of his own expe-
rience, be very helpful to the
G.. o. P. cause. A resident Of
Akron, Mr.. Bliss has been a
successful businessman - in
surance. If he becomes ma
tional chairman and spends
his time in Washington and
travelling about the country,
as is now expected of a ma
tional chairman all the year
