Gulf Between Vests Ethical Statesmen
And Reds Held Critical for Free World

Reports from East Ger
many indicate that Mr.. Ul-
BRIGHT is now fearful that if
Boss Khrushchev succeeds in
blackjacking the West into a
Berlin agreement" Mr.. Ul-
BRIGHT may have to spend his
remaining days in some un-
healthy spot near the White
Sea.
Another man receiving the
reward of Communist style
loyalty is Marshal Georgi
Zhukov, who fought with such
skill and courage in the last
war. Marshal Voroshilov also
was denounced as a traitor
and then was publicly for
given at the Communist Par
ty Congress with a footnote
that the aging and ailing for
mer Soviet President "sin-
cerely condemns his acts and
repents." Without the sup
port of these two men Mr..
Khrushchev would not have
been able to wrest power from
the three-man directorate or
the subsequent two-man di-
rectorate established after
Stalin's death.
Against such a man, using
tactics and methods which
would have been repugnant
even to Genghis Khan, are
pitted the leaders of the West
ern world-all men with a
sense of ethics, decency and
fundamental honesty. The

atomic weapons should the
Communists begin aggres-
sion. We cannot match them
in conventional troops and
weapons. The West Berliners
know this. But they also are
aware that living in such a
situation is not what one
wants of life. More and more
of them will move to West
Germany. 1t is not stretching
reality to argue that, If there
is no negotiation, West
Berlin will wither away and
the Communists will in time
win it by default.
To avoid this otherwise
inevitable decline, some way
must be found to give West
Berlin a pledge Of per-
manence. 1t is this possibility
that the diplomats are seek
ing to explore. What can give
West Berlin a function and
a future? What will clearly
establish the access routes?
What can be done which,
while admitting that Ger
many and Berlin now are
divided, will hold out a hope
for future unification? Can
a way be found to breach the
ugly wall, which symbolizes
the sickness of today's
world?
Perhaps nothing can be
done. It may be that con-
slant tension and unending
threat are the only possible
existence for Berlin.
No one wants the issue
brought to the United Ma
tions. There would be a will
lingness to transfer from
Geneva to Berlin some Of the
valuable, productiv U. N.
agencies. This presence" in
Berlin might be something
which would enable negotia-
tions to be effective. But,
again, it might not. We can
only wait and see.
But there is an under
standing here that the issue
of Berlin is one between the

It's easy enough to applaud
the saving Of $3.50 million
in the defense budget as a
step in the direction Of much
needed economizing in Gov
eminent spending. But the.
issue isn't as simple as it
seems on the surface. Here
are the real questions that
have yet to be answered:
/. Is the United States
taking q chance on her
security by putting an ar
bitrary limit on the number
of manned bomberS and on
the future development of
manned bomber weapons?
2. Was there any other
$3.50 million in the entire $50
billion budget that might
have been saved instead and
a decision made in favor of
national security?
8. What right has a Presi-
dent to refuse to spend money
appropriated by law for ma
tional defense?
Just IL years ago-on Oct
ober 81, 1949-when Harry
Truman was President, this
correspondent wrote.
Must q President Of the
United States obey the man

Or may a President disregard
