Consort Status
For Philip Aired

LONDON, Sept. 4 (AP).-A
British Sunday newspaper re-
ported yesterday that Queen
Elizabeth II plans to give her
husband, Prince Philip, another
boost in official and social
status by making him Prince
Consort. Buckingham Palace
promptly discouraged such
speculation. a spokesman say
ing nothing is known of such
plans"
The queen, on holiday at
Balmoral in Scotland, was
visited by Prime Minister Mac
milan yesterday, and the news
of the World said that, in an
atmosphere more leisurely than
is possible in London, she
would have an opportunity to
speak of family arrangements.
The last Prince Consort was
the husband of Queen Victoria,
Prince Albert, who died in
1861. He was elevated to that
status II years after his mar

u. S. Leaders Set Example of Confidence
Despite Khrushchev's Fear Techniuues

President Kennedy sent fresh
American troops into Ber-
lin-and sent Vice President
johnson to symbolic them
the real showdown began.
What the United States Gid
was not merely to call Mr..
Khrushchev'S opening bet;
we raised that bet, our chips
being the troop reinforce
ments., He had his chance to
try to halt those troops at
the Communist controlled
checkpointS leading into Ber-
lin. That pot went to us.
The Republican leaders of
Congress, notably Senator
Dirksen of Illinois, backed
the President all the way.
This, too, is a fact of great
significance of which not
enough note has been taken.
1t is also a fact deeply ap-
preciated by, the Democratic
Administration in the White
House.
Then there followed the
. Presidents appointment as
his personal representative
to Berlin of the man who
smashed the Soviet effort to
blockade the city a decade
and a half ago, Gen. Lucius
Clay.
Finally, Mr.. Kennedy Of
fered yet another nuclear
armamentS control plan
which, by its obvious reason
ableness, gave Mr.. KhruSh-
chev the alternative of ac-
cepting it or of doing what
he has now done. This is to
lash out recklessly to resume
the nuclear testing which he
had sworn never to resume
first. .
The situation now comes
to this: Our atomic predomi-
nance over the Soviet Union
never mind Mr.. KhruSh-
chev'S boasts of super-super
bombs-iS so vast as to be
almost decisive. Moreover,
this predominance will in
crease when we resume test
ing-which we can do with
great speed and ease.
Every rational estimate
therefore is that Mr.. Khrush-
chev is not really going to
challenge this power by war.
He will go on trying to do
elsewhere what he nearly
did in West Germany at the
beginning-to break Allied
morale. Mr.. Kennedy, Mr..
johnson, Gen. Clay and the
troops restored West Ger
man morale.

There is but one course of

1t is painful and expensive.
But it is likely to save the
world from an accidental
clash that could lead to a
nuclear war. The time is ripe
for a publicly announced
plan of economic blockade
which need not be imposed
for many months to come but
which the Moscow govern
ment would recognize before
hand as an effective counter
move and alternative to war.
Cutting off not only the
Soviet Union but all the
Communist bloc countries
from economic ties with the
West would mean stopping
even the international con-
version of Russian curren-
cies, with which worldwide
espionage is being financed
today by Moscow. Any So
called neutral nation that
sided with the Soviets and
refused to join in the block
ade could find itself block
AIDED, too. The West could
not afford to tolerate any
economic aid given to the
Soviet Union from any quar-
ter. The West has the power
to contain the SovietS in
their own area, and, to use
a famous phrase of the late
President Franklin D. RooSe-
welt, to quarantine" a po-
tential enemy.
The American Govern
ment, moreover, along with
other Western governments,
could appropriate enough
money to help compensate
their own citizens who might
be financially hurt by the
economic blockade. Meas
ures like these are drastic,
but they are better than a
nuclear war.

For a young reporter with
an undisciplined hunger for
books, a remembered, re-
warding experience was find
ing some volumes of Lafcadio
Hearn's in a secondhand book
shop. This exotic and psyche
logically crippled man was re-
vealed by those books to be
one of the most able, de-
scriptive writer's ever to write
for newspapers.
Hearn once brought the
butcher shops of Cincinnati
near bankruptcy by the most
literal, image-producing de-
scriptions Of the slaughter
houses from which the meat
came-the believing fear of
the cattle, the shrieking
squeal of pigs and hogs, the
piteouS bleatS of lambs. the
brutality of the killers, the
gush of blood, the gobS of
quivering flesh, the unsani-
tary conditions, and the pitt
full collection Of tubercular
patients who came to drink
fresh blood, then regarded as
a cure.
Again, he caused thousands
of readers to forgo the use of
soap by his word pictures of
the soap works, the arrival
of the dead bodies of animals,
in all states of putrefaction,
from which fats were OBJ
tained to manufacture the
end product. If, for a time,
the solid citizens ate little
meat and took few baths,
it was understandable.
Hearn was magnificent,
100, IN plcturlng a hanging,
or the depravity and tragedy
of slum life.
That this man should
have lived the concluding
years of his life as a Japa-
neSe citizen, teaching English
to worshiping young students,
and writing essays and de-
scriptions as delicately beau
tiful as japanese flower
arrangements, is incredible,
but true. He was an exotic
man, was Lafcadio Hearn.

DAVID LAWRENCE

All over the world the
guessing game is on. What
is Khrushchev up to? Does
he really intend to plunge the
world into a nuclear war?
Maybe the answer is to be
found by examining the stu
ton in terms of what might
be called a chess players
strategy. For the Russians
play a lot of chess. Anyone
who plays it must figure out
not merely the next move but
the move after the next and
sometimes two or three moves
afterward, too.
Basically, the Soviet Prem
ier knows that any nuclear
war means devastation as
we'll as destruction of human
lives in his own country. He
knows that, no matter how
quickly he may wipe out bases
inside the United States by
striking the first blow" he
cannot at the same time
render powerleSS all the
manned bomberS that are in
the air or located at over
seas bases. But, most i'm
portant of all, how can he
be sure that American subma-
rines-hidden under the seas,
with their Polaris missiles
cannot still inflict terrible
destruction on his own peo-
pie? Would he risk the loss
of even 2 or 3 million lives
out of his total population?
Whose lives would these be?
Nobody in Russia can know,
so a whole nation would be-
come fearful.
A player who knows he
holds advantages on the
chess board plans to follow
them up deliberately and
thus win the game. The
Soviet Premier has made up
his mind to win the Berlin
game first. He thinks he has
his opponents in a trap.
They talk big, but he assumes
they will not act big. Take,
for instance, what has hap
pened since the sealing off
of the border of East Berlin.
This was a probing move by
the Soviet Premier but he
found out what he really
wanted to know-that the
West wouldn't fight a nuclear
war over Berlin. For all prac-
tical purposes, the Soviet

WILLIAM S. WHITE

WASHINGTON-AS crisis
week succeeds crisis week in
this uneasy time, one ques-
ton is heard again and
again from ordinary people
and again and again is raised
in their letters.
What can I do to help?"
The best help any man or
woman can give to the coun-
try just now is to keep stead
lily at work, to stay as calm
as possible and, above all,
not to worry too much.
This is. no Pollyanna ad-
vice. 1t is based on a round
up of information direct
from the highest sources in
this government. For our top
leaders now see the situation
to be as follows:
The greatest and most
basic of all facts in the cold
war is that the United States
is wholly confident-does not
merely guess or hope-that
our atomic striking power is
at least four times that of
the Soviet Union, and pos
Sibly 10 times.
Nikita Khrushchev, in
breaking the ban on testing
Of new nuclear weapons for
which he himself had agi-
tated so long, was acting
more from reckless weakness
than strength. In the process
he has practically written off
the years of effort given by
international communism to
promoting anti-Western. at
titudes among the neutral
countries.
If he has not now alto
gether lost the neutrals, he
has at any rate lost them as
stooges for his anti-WeStern
propaganda. They are we'll
and truly on to him at last.
We cannot bank on their di-
ing anything affirmatively to
help us; but we are reason
ably sure they are through
helping Mr.. KhruShchev.
Looking back over the last
score of urgent days, the es-
innate of highly responsible
men here is that Mr.. Khru-
shchev broke the nuclear test
agreement with us in the
spirit of a man who begins
to hit about wildly because
things are not going well for
him.
Because we have a ten
dency to give the devil even
more than his due, the cru
cial point has been largely
lost that matters have really
not gone we'll with him since
he sealed the East-West Ber-
lin border.

government has openly acted
to annex East Berlin and has
dared the West to fight back.
Nothing has happened except
the pronouncement of some
strong words of protest in
diplomatic notes.
The true goal of the So
Wet Premier is to control
all of Berlin He cannot get
this Immediately, so his
strategy is to isolate the
entire city and he plans to
do it by signing a peace treaty
with East Germany. Once
this is done, the Allies will,
of course, not go to war over
it. They will wait to see if
the air corridors to West
Berlin are blocked. The So
viets will haraSS the corri-
dors, and incident after in
cident will occur to argue
about. There will be "nego-
tiations"-a dilatory process
that can last for. ears-but
no military conflict.
Meanwhile, Berlin as a
Western city will gradually
deteriorate not only in spirit
but in its economic strength.
All Mr.. Khrushchev has to
do is to read the news dis
patches coming now from
London, Paris and Washing
ton, and he will reassure
himself that, even if he
signs a separate peace treaty
with East Germany, the
West will not take any re-
taliatory action in a mill
tary sense.
Resumption of nucl e ar
tests by Moscow was doubt
less designed as another eX-
ploratory move. Already
voices are raised in influen-
tial circles in Britain and
America against the resump-
ton of nuclear tests by the
West.
What, therefore, is left?
Are the Western countries
just going to forget the game
as Nikita Khrushchev pro-
ceedS to threaten a check
mate? If he wins Berlin,
will he stop there?
Unfortunately, most people
in the West have been led to
believe that there is no way

of our more competent biog-
raphers, has produced the
life story of Hearn Mac
MILAN, which is rewarding
reading. Only an exceptional
researcher and writer could
do what Miss Stevenson has
done with so complex and
mysterious a character.
Hearn's father was an
Irish surgeon in the British
army. He married a hand
some Greek girl from the
Ionian islands. When she,
and the child Lafcadio, were
fetched to Ireland, the result
was not good. Hearn's family
were sure he had married
unwisely. So, after a time,
was Mrs. Hearn. She at last
went back to Greece. She
had been Greek Orthodox
in faith. Hearn'S parents
were Anglican.
But it was a Roman Cath
olic aunt whose heart was
moved toward the boy, and
who took him when the mar
riage broke up. She sent him
to Jesuit schools and prom
ised to make him her heir.
The boy read and dreamed,
and was not suited to the
discipline of school. He read
prodigiously, but preferred
Herbert Spencer to the lives
of saints. One eye was de-
stroyed in an accident at
school; the other bulged
myopically. Schoolmates
Knocked. The boy became
deeply introspective. His aunt
grew senile. She was swindled
out of her estate.
From the swindler, Hearn,
at 18, had a letter to a re-
mote family connection and
a one-way ticket to America
and Cincinnati. The relative
wanted no part of the unat-
tractive boy. Hearn, a strang-
er and alone in an unknown
city, slept and worked where
he could. II found myself

them. Joel Chandler Harris.
then famous as the author of
the Uncle RemuS Stories and
editor of The Atlanta Con-
stitution, visited Hearn in
New Orleans and helped him
to a larger audience. Hearn
liked that city but. after a
brief triumph there, moved
on to Martinique. He was not
afraid to be penniless. He
tore up contracts and flung
back money into the face of
publishers.
From Martinique, in 1890,
he went to Japan. He became
a popular teacher. He began
a process of escaping out of
Western life, soaking himself
in all that was Japanese. He
married the daughter of a
good family. Somehow the
marriage, despite the diff
culties of adjustment and

was a happy one. Miss Stew
