PARIS.
Since his return to Wash
ington from the foreign
ministers conference here,
Secretary of State RuSk has
been going through some
curious backing and filling
on this question of negoti-
ating with the Russians over
Berlin.
It is in a way a continue
ton of what went on in
Paris - an oddly undiplo-
matte performance which at
one time almost reached the
point of public controversy.
But what could be written
off here as a misunderstand-
ing is now taking on rather
more serious overtoneS.
The Secretary. in fact, is
now saying two quite con-
Trajectory things. He is say
ing that negotiations on Ber-
lin are inevitable in the sense
e that 1--WE all agree that ne
gotiations will occur" But
at the same time he is say
ing that these negotiations
cannot take place until con-
ditions improve between the
Soviet Union and the West.
His reasoning is simple.
when great powers go into
negotiations" Mr.. Rusk says,
there must be some pros
pect Of success, because fall
ure contributes to tension"
The Secretary evidently is
trying to devise a kind of
syntheSis of arguments in
favor of negotiation on Ber-
lin and arguments against it.
The result. however, is not
entirely convincing. And
though it may appear to Mr..
Rusk that the gap which
separates the Western allies
on this matter may be more
apparent than real," it still
looks wide enough to most
observers in this part Of the
world.
Where the United States
and Britain are now appar-
emily publicly committed to
negotiations, the French are
committed to nothing what
ever, either publicly or pri-
vately. The French view is
simply that negotiations may
be possible under appropri-
ate circumstances. But the
circumstances are not appro-
pirate now and they are not
likely to be made more so by
premature commitments from
the West.
Unanswered Argument
This is not a question of
President de Gaulle being
more hardheaded or warlike
about Berlin than everyone
else-it is simply a question
of sound diplomatic tactics.
And from what has been said
so far the arguments against
a commitment to talk with
Premier Khrushchev have
not been effectively answered
in either London or Wash
ington.
There is a good under
standing here of the extent to
which public opinion in the
United States and Britain
favors the idea of negotia-
tions. There is less sympathy
with the idea that govern
ments must shape their
course to conform to such
pressure. In matters as seri-
Gus as the Berlin crisis, the
feeling is that public opinion
is a poor guide. Once govern
ments h have chos N their
course with deliberation and
care, there is no question that
the people will support them.
This course in the French
view cannot be decided until
there is real agreement on

the substance of the prob
lens involved. So far as they
are concerned, it is not pri-
marily a question of whether
or not to negotiate at some
future time. 1t is rather a
question of what the purpose
of negotiation should be,
what the West is prepared to
offer in the way of a COM
promise on Berlin, and what
reaction from Mr.. Khru-
shchev to this offer may be
expected.
None of these questions
was even discussed by the
ministers at the Paris meet
ing. So far as can be learned,
discussion of tactics domi-
mated the talks to the exclu-
sion of any questions of sub
stance. And until answers
can be worked out in the
course of long diplomatic
sessions, a promise to nego-
tiate has little meaning.
In fact it can raise serious
complications. Many top dip
lomats are convinced that
Mr.. Khrushchev still does
not take seriously the poSsi-
bility of war over Berlin.
Anyone who describes the
Vests determination to fight
if necessary to defend the
city as a fairy tale" and
who threatens massive nu-
clear retaliation against who-
ever dareS to interfere with
his plans is in a dangerous
state of mind. French opin-
ion is that an offer by the
West to negotiate at this
stage would inevitably be
taken by Mr.. Khrushchev as
a sign of weakness confirm
ing all of his present mis-
conceptions.

out the state for his work with
the Americanism program of
the Legion. 1t is through this
program that selected juniors
in high schools are given q
chance to attend Boys State.
Dave also works with the ora
torical contest that is conducted
in the State each year. Through
these two programs the youth
become familiar with the work
ings of our democracy.
Working with the Legion ard
a Baltimore television channel,
Dave is moderator of panel
show entitled ITO Promote Good
Will" On this show Dave has
given youth a chance to ask
questions of a panel of Clergy
men. For his work with this
program the Mayor of Balti-
more has given him special
thanks.
At present Dave is employed
at the University of Maryland
as the Director of Alumni Re
lations. Dave states that his
vocation is 10000 alumni, and
that his advocation is almost an
equal number of Legionaires.

campaign. The members of
the Legion from the State have
also given him their endorse
ment.
Mr.. Brigham has several OBJ
stacles that he must overcome
before the election gets into
full swing. Not the least of
these is fiances. 1t is estimated
that the campaign will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and
a campaign fund committee has
been set up to give him a boost.
In the process of campaigning
he will have to travel nearly
10000 miles.
Similar to those involved in
the national elections of last
fall, Dave is also faced with
the problem of votes from each
of the States. Like the cleo
toral college the Legion is brok-
en- down so that a State such
as New York might have 200
or more votes while Maryland
will only have forty, This is a
real problem in that to win the
candidate must carry the larg-
er states.

having served in 1928 he was

Americas space agency plans
to develop a spaceship that
would land gently on the moon,
drill below the surface and
shoot television pictures back |
to earth.
The spaceship, dubbed the
Surveyor. would drop to the
moon slower than a parachutist
landing on earth. The surveyor,
weighing 750 pounds. would
land on three legs. Its total

feet.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration said
yesterday it. plans to send
seven surveyors to the moon
between 1868 and 1866.
Hughes Aircraft Co. was
picked by NASA to negotiate q
contract to build the surveyor.
Cost $50 Million
The programs total cost was
estim q ted at $50 million.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Labora-
tory at the California institute
of Technology would direct the
project.
Under present plans. the Sur
veyer. as 1t approached the
moon, would fire q solid pro-

shoot off in an opposite direc-
ton than the Surveyor. slow

The instruments in the Sur

could penetrate 10 inches below
the moons surface. would
weigh $50 pounds. They would
perform chemical analyses Of

surface. Then the device would
send back results by television.

The Surveyor would follow
NASA's Ranger program. In
that program NASA is shooting
instrument packages at the
moon. Their landings, how
ever. will be rough.
Under present plans, survey

Atlas Centaurs from Cape
