During all the maneuvering in

Lefkowitz Quiet
To round out the confused
picture, Republicans decided to
run State Attorney General Louis
Lefkowitz, after Senator Jacob
Javits turned down the offer.
So far, Mr.. Lefkowitz has been
relatively quiet. hoping, Of course,
that MeSsrs. Wagner and Levitt
will kill each other off. Mr..
Levitt has characterized the
Mayor as weak and Intellectual. Mr..
Wagner, in turn, has been trying

and 1t is by no means clear that
it ever will be. The prevailing
judgment in nonmilitary circles,
and even in some military circles,
is that on balance, Russia would
gain more than the United States
from such resumption. II so,
diplomats here believe President
Kennedy should make the Ameri-
can policy Of abstention unmis-
takably clear. and thus spike
Tsarapkin'S guns.
Query: Have the Russians been
secretly testing? No one to whom
I have spoken knows of any evi-
dence that they have, and many
doubt that they could gain any
really significant advantage from
doing so, given all the circum-
stances.
Query: Could the United States
score a breakthrough in anti
missile defense, or in development
of the neutron bomb, by bang
ing? Perhaps; but so might the
RuSsianS-and the United States
is presumed to be ahead in this
field now. Weaponeering goes on
in the laboratory whether tests
are conducted or not.
The conclusion here is that the
United States should take a clear
position against testing by any
one anywhere, and from this plat
form Of virtue should have a field
day in the U. N. General Assem-
bly, with KhruShchev's clear posi-

But even in the North woods,
the customer is always right. The

GENEVA.-For once, the United

stirS the emotions Of hundreds of
millions Of people.
That issue Is nuclear-weapons

who couldn't possibly care less
what happens to Berlin or Laos,
care very much, indeed, whether
their air. their rivers, and their
food-cropS are poisoned by radio
active fallout.
And Khrushchev today stands
as the roadblock to a ban on
atomic testing. That fact, long
apparent to Americans, can now

It would be colorful to report
Joe Leatherfoot stalking along

But Joe and his missus aren't
amused. They think its a fine

in the business towards which all
logic points them, they must COM

know the white mans ways and

Joe to pick up the $40 or $12 a

The present situation. in which
New York Democrats find them
selves governed by the DeSapio-
Buckley -Sharkey triumvirate, is
directly traceable to former Gov.
Harriman's ability to seize the po-
litical reins of the State and hold
on to them while he was in office.

to the public in 1858, when the
State Democratic convention NOM

that is to the United States ma
tional interest.
If Khrushchev takes the lick
ing he deserves on the test ban,
he will be taking it in consider
able part on behalf Of the Chinese.
Presumably 1t is because the Chi
nese Reds want to test, and. be-
cause he does not want the world
to know he cannot prevent it, that
Khrushchey has reversed himself
on the ban. =
The more severe the propaganda
licking, the more reason Khru-
shchev will have to resent Chinese
policy. The more 1t hurts Khru-
shchev to have pulled China's
chestnutS out of the fire, the
more angry he will be at having
had to do so. He might well put
preSsure-highly unwelcome pres

opportunity to intensity Sino-
Soviet antagonism.
Another Plus Foctor
A smashing propaganda victory
could serve the United States
national interest in still another
way.
If 1t ultimately were to be de-
cided that new American test
programs would benefit American
weapons technology more than
new Soviet testing would benefit
Soviet technology, then the re-
Sulting decision to resume test
ing would be less severely con-
demned by world opinion if it
first were clearly established that
Russia had sabotaged a treaty.
This fact, however, introduces a
complication. If the United States
seems to the world to have this
motive, the purpose will be de-
feated.
Semyon K. Tsarapkin, Russia's
man here, is screaming from the
housetops that the United States
wants. a propaganda cushion"
for test resumption. There is,
it is privately acknowledged, a
certain amount of truth to the
charge, and until the United
States ceases to be vulnerable to
this counterattack, it will not be
able to take full advantage Of
Khrushchev's position.

A preview Of New York City's
Democratic primary election bat
tie, September Z, gives promise Of
the first real political Donnybrook
to be seen by New Yorkers in
many years. The results are GER
tain to extend beyond the city line
and have an effect on the 1864
national elections.
Cast with more prima donnas
than ever graced the Metropol-
itan Opera, the all-star show Is
beginning to resemble q De Mile
production without direction.
Naturally enough, hopeful Re-
publicans. who normally operate
in New York City at two-to-one
vote disadvantage, are already
whooping it in unrestYaine e d
anticipation.
Out Of character as q storm
center is Mayor Robert Wagner,
who announced his intention to
run for q third four-year term
against the wishes Of four-out-of-
five county Democratic leaders.
(New York City has five counties.)
Not Surprised, but
To say that the leaders were
surprised at the announcement
would be stretching it q bit, but
they had originally felt that
Mayor Wagner. whose first two
terms were marked by scandals,
indecision and total acquiescence
to the party leadership on patron
age and other political matters,
would accept without q struggle
the leaders decision to be dropped
from the ticket.
In the meantime, however, the
so-called reform group Of the
Democratic party in the city, led
by the former Governor and
United States Senator Herbert H.
Lehman and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, had been fighting what
they termed "bossism" with &
modicum Of success.
It became apparent that Mr..
Wagner's plight might well pro-
vide an opportunity to take on
the New York leadership in q full
scale contest. They offered to hack
the Mayor in a primary fight and
he, knowing that ex-officeholders
experience difficulty operating po-
litically, accepted their support
Ironically, the reform group
now finds itself supporting Mr..
Wagner, the man whom, only a
few weeks ago, it could not dis
parage enough for his "irresponsi-
bility" In failing to take action In
the building inspection, real estate
bureau, school construction and
fire inspection bureau scandals.
Assured BoIIot Spot
Whether or how much Mr.
Wagner will be hurt by these
charges will depend on his ability
to disaSsociate himself with the
scandals and place the blame for
them on the political bosses whom
he pledges to wipe out.
At the same time, the Liberal
Party. q force to be reckoned with
in New York politics, nominated
Mr.. Wagner, thus assuring him a
place on the final ballot even
though he might lose the primary
fight.

wheeling and dealing, the Mayor

Y. 5. Chance for Atom Test Ban Coup Seen

tion Of this rare opportunity was
taken this past week when WASH
ington and London put atomic
testing on the provisional agenda
Of the September u. N. General
Assembly. The subject would
have been there anyway, but now
it is there as result Of Western
initiative.
Need q Follow Through
Western diplomats here hope
the United States and Britain
will follow through with imagi-
nation and skill, and really rip
the hide off the Kremlin.
A whole year of patient effort
has been invested here in Geneva
by an incredibly long-suffering
team of American and British of
ficialS to bring about this oppor-
tunity. Khrushchev lost interest
in a test ban as early as May,
1860, but the West had to keep
trying in order to prove it to
the world.
All the essential ingredients of
effective propaganda are present:
Simplicity, clarity, Importance,
emotional involvement.
. The West wants a test ban
treaty: Khrushchev does not want
one.
. The West wants a minimum
amount of control; Khrushchev
wants self-inspection, and a three
way veto over that. '
Q The West has made a series
of dramatic concessions this year;
Khrushchev has moved back
wards, welching on agreements
previously reached. ...
. The West is willing to sign a
treaty outlawing tests and only
tests; KhruShchev wants to bury
the test ban in a maze of nego-
tiationS on general and complete
disarmament. -
Soviet Sabotage CIeor
It adds up to case Of Soviet
sabotage so clear that no one from
Stockholm to Jakarta or from
Tokyo to Accra could possibly

is anticipated that this would
be done only in unusual cir
