United
Broad Agendo

The General Assembly heard
disarmament proposals from
the United States and the So
Wet Union last week, but little
progress was achieved either in
disarmament or in choosing a
successor to Dag HammarskjOld.
On any given day last week a
visitor to the General Assembly
could have heard speeches on the
Berlin crisis, nuclear tests, dis,
armament. colonialiSm, South
African apartheid, economic &C.
velopment in South America and
the succession to the secretary

Africa's west coast, had been

Other Problems

But Mr.. Nixon has other more
pressing problems to concern him
self about. He already is promised
a bitter, perhaps dirty, primary
fight.
Former Governor Goodwin
Knight, one of two others running
for the nomination, last week lev
eled a spectacular charge at the
former Vice President. He said
that an emissary of Mr.. Nixon's,
as yet unnamed, telephoned to
offer Mr.. Knight any job he
wanted in the State, including
that of Chief Justice of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court, If he would
not run.
MIR. Nixon called the knight
charge false and libelous." He
said neither he nor any agent of
his offered anyone any job to stay
out of the gubernatorial race. Mr..
Knight persisted, however, and
promised to name the alleged
emissary at news conference in
very few days"
Mr.. Knight is an embittered
man. He was outmaneuvered in
1858 and former Senator Knowland
won the G. o. P. nomination for
Governor. Mr.. Knight ran for the
Senate. Both lost Overwhelmingly,
and the first Democrat in nearly
20 years was sent to the State
House.
Some California Republicans,
including San Francisco Mayor
George Christopher, believe Mr..
Knight mas "fanatical obsession
against the Republican Party" in
general and against Mr.. Nixon
in particular Certainly, Mr..
Knights recent call urging Dem
ocrats TO vote in the G. o. P.
primary next June so that they
could strike a blow against the
former Vice President was not the
action of a loyal party man.
Whether the Knight Nixon feud
will hurt Republican chances to
unseat Gov. Edmund Pat) Brown
remains to be seen. Some Nixon
ties, however. are glad that the
Knight matter is coming TO a
head now. They feel that once
Mr.. Knight is disposed of in the
primary, Mr. Nixon can go on to
win without major distraction.

Other Possibilities

The two aiming likely
G. o. P. presidential candidates
represent the opposite ends Of
the Republican Party continuum
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, the conservative, and
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New
York, the liberal.
While Mr.. Rockefeller has re-
Gently appeared to be wooing
party conservatives he is still
considered somewhat suspect by
many Of them. Mr.. Goldwater,
strong with the Old Guard, is
not yet taken very seriously by
the powerful Eastern wing of the
party.
The Nixon statement on 1864
was dictated in large part by the
need to spike a Democratic cam
paign charge that he doesn't
really care about California but
considers the governorShip a
mere stepping stone to the White
House.
Nevertheless, if he wins in 1852
he could gauge the political winds
in the early summer of 1864 to
see whether a Republican would
have a substantial chance against
President Kennedy, who will be
running for a second term.
If he finds the chances to be
good, his supporters could gen.

Pressure Exerted

In addition, there had been a
steady and increasing pressure on
him from California and National
Republican Party officials, in
GLIDING former President Essen
hover, to make the gubernatorial
run. Their argument:
He alone could insure G. o. P.
victory in California in 1862. Such
a victory could increase the party's
congressional delegation from that
State and put the national party
in a better position for the battle
70 win the White House in 1864.
1t must be said, too, that Mr..
Nixon came to realize that, while
a defeat in 1862 would likely end
his political career. he could be-
come a stronger national party
leader as Governor of California
than as Richard Nixon, private
citizen.
Last Wednesday. finally and to
the surprise of virtually no politi-
cal observer. Mr.. Nixon announced
his candidacy as Governor.
What did produce a mild sur
prise was the firmness with which
he withdrew himself as a candi-
date for President in 1864. In fact,
he announced this decision first.
The Nixon statement does not.
of course, rule out the chance OF
a draft at the 1854 convention.
This could very well happen, pro-
vided he wins the governorship,
of course, because the Republican
Party is still, like Mr.. Nixon,
largely middle-of-the-road.

Soviet Veto

The Soviet government has
made it clear, however, that under
no circumstances will it allow
notification on those terms. Soviet
leaders fear that such elections
would inevitably lead to a pro-
Western Germany, hostile to the
Soviet Union.
The Russians have been sup
ported in this by their Polish and
Czech allies who have an equally
strong fear Of a rearmed Ger
many. This fear is reinforced by
the fact that both the Poles and
the CZechs occupy land that for
merly was owned by Germany. A
peace treaty with East Germany
would make their occupation per-
manent. A unified nom Communist
Germany might, on the other
hand, declare war to recover their
territories, they state.
The Poles, for instance, occupy
land east of the Oder-Neisse River
which once was part of Prussia. A
peace treaty would ease their I'M
reasonable worry about a German
attack.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
A New Nixon Era
In q State Race

Former Vice President Nixon
on Wednesday announced he
would run for Governor of
California next year but would
not be a candidate for Presi-
dent in 1864.
For nearly year. Richard Mil
houS Nixon, the man who missed
the presidency by the narrowest
of margins last November, has
been weighing his political future.
Should he remain out of the
active, job-holding ranks. like
Adlai Stevenson did between his
twin defeats of 1852 and 1856, and
concentrate on high-level speech
making and building the states
mans image?
Or should he take the road back
to active political wars by accept
ing the best opportunity likely to
be open to him in the next few
years-the race for the governor
ship of California, the Nations
second largest State and nearly
certain to be No. in the near
future?
Perhaps it is true that. at first,
Mr.. Nixon's personal inclination
was to remain a private citizen,
build up a fortune from a lucra-
tive law practice and get to know
his family better.
But as the months rolled by,
the former Vice President, like
the old fire horse, was finding it
more and more difficult to resist
the urge to get back into harness.
C'Politics is in our blood" Pat
Nixon, his wife, said last week.

erate'a draft. He would almost
have to see to this, because if
Gov. Rockefeller got the nominal
ton and defeated Mr.. Kennedy
an event not at all out of the
question despite the inclination
of many experts to grant the
Democratic President a second
term-then Mr.. Nixon would have
to wait until 1912 for another
chance at the White House. Al
though he would only be SO years
old. it is not likely that he could
maintain his strong present po-
sition for the next IL years.

Police Methods

The intellectuals disliked his
police state methods; the rich
landlords and businessmen feared
the Specialization of their liveli-
hoods: and politicians and military
leaders were angered by the grow

high Syrian posts.

NUcIeor Tests

On the collateral issue of nu-
clear test bans, the United States
and Great Britain renewed their
plea to the Soviet Unicn for test
ban treaty. but once again the
Soviet government answered that
such a treaty could be discussed
only within the framework of an
overall disarmament treaty. And
"ince disarmament was only an
optimistic thought, the prospects
for a cessation of tests remain
quite dismol.
Before the end of the session,
both sides will have ample oppor-
tunity to expand or 10 alter their
stands on disarmament; there is
always the chance sucn a treaty is
possible. But there were few at
U. N. headquarters last week who
wanted to wager on the chances.

Charter CHANCE

On Mr.. Hammarskjoid's sue
cessor, the Soviet bloc persisted in
trying to change the U. N. char
ter by substituting a multi Lateral
directorate for single admins
traitor.
Originally, the Soviet Govern
ment asked for a three headed
(troika) executive, representing
the Communists. the West, and
the neutrals, with each side hav-
ing a veto.
When it became apparent, how
ever, that this was absolutely I'M
acceptable to other nations, For
eign Minister Gromyko last week
suggested a new plan to reporters
"a four-man group of undersec-
retarieS from which one man would
be elected chairman. The group
would represent the Communists,
the West, Africa and Asia. He
did not indicate whether or not
veto would be involved.
President Kenneoy-in his ad-
dress on Monday-called the So
Wet troika proposal land presum-
ably the four-man one, too an at
tempt to weaken the power of the
General Assembly.
The secretary general. in a
very real sense. is the servant of
this Assembly" he said. "Dimin-
ish his authority and you diminish
the authority of the only body
where all nations, regardless of
power, are equal and sovereign"
Such troika. he said. would
replace order with anarchy. action
with paralysis, confidence with
confusion"
Within two or three weeks IT.
should be known whether a sue
cessor will be chosen soon or
whether prolonged argument will
postpone such a decision indefi-
nitely.
In the field of disarmament.
both the United States and the
Soviet Union made, renewed eff
forts to persuade the world that
they each were sincerely interested
in achieving general and complete
disarmament. Once again, upon
examination of their plans. the
two sides split down the middle on
the question of what would consti-
tute effective control of such a
treaty.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-01
Kennedy Plan

The more eloquent of the two
approaches was offered by Presi-
dent Kennedy. His plan to bring
a world free from the terrors Of
mass destruction" included a six
stage schedule to achieve. disarma-
ment. Each stage would be care
fully supervised, and inspections
would be made to insure that each
nation had complied with the
treaty demands before proceeding
to the next, one.
The United States plan envisages
control over means of production
as well as over weapon destruction.
The Soviet government-obvi-
ouSly trying to reduce the propa-
ganda impact of Mr.. Xennedy'S
widely publicized speech-offered
IN eight-point program Of its own
IN Tuesday, but unlike the Ameri-
can proposals for carefully con-
trolled Stage-by-stage disarma-
mont. the Russians will not permit
full inspection until after total
disarmament has been reached.
The Russian claim that by in
Snsctlng means of production the
United States wants control over
ornaments" and not over dis
armament. They assert that this
i subterfuge for espionage. The
West claims that without proper
inspection, neither side could be
sure the other was not cheating.
Lord Home explained the Vests
objections simply in stating the
Soviet position:
And then again I under
stand this is the Soviet position.

500 airplanes into a bonfire and
they are burned. You can inspect

Some Signs

The optimism, however. had
more substantive roots. These in
cluded
. A speech by President Ken
nedy on Monday in which he
told the General Assembly that
the West was willing to negotiate
a treaty that would take into &C
count the interests of others"
provided the freedom of West
Berlin was protected.
. An address the next day by
Foreign Minister Gromyko in
which he limited the Soviet Union
might ask the United Nations to
take hand in resolving the crisis,
and in which he again "guaran-
teed" the freedom of West Berlin
in return for Western co-opera-
ton in signing a peace treaty with
East Germany.
. Continued negotiations be-
tween Mr.. Gromyko and Western
leaders which may form the basis
for an eventual EaSt-WeSt Foreign
Ministers Conference.
For many years. the West has
supported the West German gov
ernment's contention that no peace
treaty with East Germany is pos
sible without unification of Ger
many on the basis Of free cleo
tions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-01
Hint on Arms

When President Kennedy said
the West was willing to negotiate,
while recognizing the historic
and legitimate interests of others
in assuring European security"
he was obviously limiting that the
West would recognize the present
Polish Czech German borders,
and might agree to some degree Of
disarmament in Central Europe.
He also indicated that the West
no longer would object too
strongly to a division of Ger
many, provided West Berlin's Sc
curity was effectively guaranteed.
THE Western allies are not
concerned with any paper ar
rangement the Soviets may make
with regime of their own crea-
ton, on territory occupied by their
own troops and governed by their
own agents." he said. mo such
action, however, can affect either
our rights or our responsibilities"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-01
Point at Issue

What is at issue then is whether
the Soviet Union in signing a
peace treaty tries to end Western
rights in Berlin. Mr.. Gromyko, in
his talk, promised several times
that the Soviet government had
no such intention.
"The Western powers want the
freedom and welfare of the West
Berlin population to be assured.
But we are in favor of that. We
have repeated countless times and
are repeating: Yes, we are in
favor of that.
THE United States, the United
Kingdom, and France do not want
the established way of life in West
Berlin to be broken. This, too,
comedies with our position.
AS to the freedom of West Berlin'S
ties and communications with the
outside world. we are in favor of
such ties being assured"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-01
The LoophoIe

The loophole in all this is that
Mr.. Gromyko still asserted that
appropriate agreements" on the
use Of access routes to West Ber-
lin will have to be concluded with
the East German government.
The statement appropriate
agreements" as we'll as his re-
peated guarantees on West Ber-
Inns freedom have led Western

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Promising Start at the U.N.

Join since the U. Ms founding in
1945.
The wide range of discussions
and the equally wide range Of
nations fortified the General AS
Sembly's aforementioned position
as forum of the world" Whether
the Assembly, however, could also
perform its more important func-
ton of reconciling international
differences was in doubt.
The two major problems with
which the Assembly began its 10Th
session on September 10 were still
far from resolved-how to replace
the late Mr.. Hammarskjold and
how to attain the elusive and
high-minded goal of general and
complete disarmament. These two
issues. perhaps better than any
others. symbolic the vast gulf
that separates the Communist and
Western nations, and lay bare the
tremendous distrust that the two
most powerful countries in the
world have for each other.

Under France

After the war, however, France
ruled Syria as League of Ma
tons mandate, increasing more
than ever the nationalist yearn-
ings within the country.
The Syrians received their indie
pendence after World War II, but
almost Immediately the country
suffered a series of political crises.
Between l949 and 1854, for in
stance, there were five bloody
coups d'etat. Due to growing eco
nomic and social problems, the
Communist Party, gained. a
stronger foothold in Syria than in
any other Arab country.
In 1857, a Communist coup
was so imminent that President
Shkri al-Kuwatly solicited the
support of Egypt's Nasser. The re-
suit was the United Arab Repub-
lie, the beginning of Cairo's dream
of a united pan-Arab union.
AS he promised, Mr.. Nasser
wiped out the Communist influ-
ence with his own brand of dicta-
torial socialism. but at the. same
time, his growing power and So
cialist tactics alarmed the ruling
elements of Syrian society and
paved the way for last weeks re-
volt.

The Berlin crisis was the
principal subject of discussion
in and outside the General As
sembIy last week. President
Kennedy and Foreign Minister
GrOmykO both addressed the
Assembly, and Mr.. GrOmykO
continued exploratory talks with
Secretary of State Rusk and
British Foreign Minister Lord
Home.
The Berlin crisis for four
months has swung like pendu-
lum, from darkness to light, from
fear to confidence. and from bel
licoSe threats to peaceful assur-
ances. Last week, it appeared to
slow down, held up by brighter
promise of a peaceful settlement.
Whether it will remain in place,
or swing toward war ultimately
will depend on the skill of the
diplomats. but developments in
New York indicated that a prom.
Using start had been made.
Undoubtedly a great deal Of the
optimism can be attributed to the
reconvening of the General AS

ton" and settlement" are on
everyone's lips.

West didn't think of lead
ing a trump, because a trump
opening is usually the worst
possible lead against a slam.
When West actually led the
jack Of clubs, South hastily
counted eight trump tricks by
crossruff plus four top cards
on the side.
South won. the first trick
with the ace of clubs, cashed
the top diamonds and ruffed
the three of clubs in dummy.
Then he cashed the ace of
hearts, ruffed a heart in his
hand, and ruffed the six of
clubs in dummy. He ruffed
another heart, ruffed the eight
of clubs in dummy, and ruffed
a third heart in his hand.
At this stage South felt the
first pang of fear. He had run
out of clubs to ruff in dummy.
He had the ace of trumps and
two diamonds in his own hand,
with one heart, one diamond
and one trump life in dummy.
Leads Diamond
South led a diamond, for
lack of anything else to do.
West took the queen of dia-
monds and returned a trump.
That was the end of South
and his slam.
South should have seen that
he couldn't ruff four clubs in
the dummy for the simple rea-
son that he didn't have four
low clubs to ruff. The way to
win eight trump tricks is to
start the hearts first.
South wins the ace of clubs
and the top diamonds, but
then he must lead a heart to
the dummy and ruff a heart
before touching the clubs. He
can then ruff his three clubs
in dummy, using these en-
tries to ruff a second, third
and fourth heart in his hand.
At this stage South will have
eleven tricks safely home, with
the queen of spades still in
the dummy to furnish a
twelfth trick.
