AS far as Washington Is
concerned, it would be much
more sensible to convert the
entire area beneath the Mall

facilities somewhat compar-
able to those provided In
other cities and 1t could,
through parking 6 fees, be

bombs could easily cut off the

the issue In proper perspec-

For some time we have
been dismayed that the Han
ford issue has become en-
broiled at the national level
in partisan politics and the
private. power versus public
power controversy. Locally,
we have unified, support for
the project. The Republican

from Oregon and Washing
ton firmly support the prof.
ect. as well as does private
power.
The Washington State

its July 9th meeting unan-
imously adopted q resolu-

Of the dual-purpose reactor.
The committee has broad
representation pow

We hope that when the

Of emotion and evaluate the

Khrushcheys Massive Retaliation
By CROSBY S. NOYE
Forsisn Correspondent Of The Star

gets and troop concentrations.
So far as Western planning
Is concerned, tndiscriminate
raining Of nuclear bombs on
large population centers would
be the last rather than the
first act Of the tragedy, to be
avoided If humanity possible.
Mr.. Khrushchev realizes
also that the West Is well
equipped to fight q limited
nuclear war in Western Eu-
rope. While Russian scientists
have concentrated their ef-
forts on turning out more
and more monstrous weapons,
the United States has forged
ahead in the development Of
weapons designed for use on
the battlefield. It Is not
conceivable that use Of these
weapons could result in the
military defeat Of Russia.
What is conceivable is that
they could effectively prevent
the Red army from carrying
out. any offensive mission
that may be assigned to it.
NATO'S Nuclear Punch
Western military experts
are still cautious and perhaps
divided on the question Of
how long or how big a war
could be fought without re-
sorting to strategic weapons.
There is no question, how
ever, that the NATO forces
today would pack a highly
effective nuclear punch Of
their own - great enough,
perhaps, to neutralize Rus
sia's numerical superiority
and prevent the Red army
from bringing its massive
weight to bear.
This is the situation that
Mr.. Khrushchev Is referring
to when he talks Of ''limited
war;" The prospect Of a
limited nuclear war is so
little to his liking that he has
in effect, adopted his own
policy of massive retalia-
ton" at the very moment
that the West is trying to de-
velop a less awful doctrine.
What he is saying, in effect,
is that military action by the
West which involves use Of
any nuclear weapons will
provoke an all-out strategic
holocaust. And that the hope
Of the West of finding an
alternative between suicide
and defeat is doomed from
the outset.
Since the implied risks of
this policy are as great for
Russia as they are for the
West, Mr.. Khrushchev may
well be talking through his
famous Snapbrim fedora.
Massive retaliation is no less
illogical when it comes from
the Kremlin than from the
United States State Depart
ment. But at the same time,
however, it is now more than
ever the official Russian line.
And as the man who threat
ems no one, Mr.. KhruShchev
in his approach to the crisis
In Berlin seems to be relying
heavily on the ultimate Of all
threats. is H"2 81

No Place to Hide?

My sympathy Is extended
to, the embarrassed and
anonymous area Civil De-
tense officials who have not
yet built their own shelters,
or crematories. For the man
contemplating destruction Of
his family apple tree, I ad-
wise caution and restraint:
any fool can build a shelter,
but making an apple tree is
more specialized. The one
who plans to be elsewhere

know where he is going, and
how he intends to get there,
I would appreciate it.
Bitter Jokes aside, your
news story illustrates an ele-
mentary fact. The inhabit-
ants of this area are written
off in the event of q nuclear
war. The most optimistic
estimates Of 1880 million
survivors do not include us.
Civil Defense is pushed in
order to kid the general public
into thinking that war is
feasible. War is not feasible.
Except by accident. or a
sudden outbreak Of lunacy
in some military figure swept
away by our though" rhetoric,
war is not q probability.
We have the alternatives
Of negotiating reasonably that
which is negotiable-for ex-
ample, access to Berlin, the
Oder-NeiSse line, the mill
tarization of Germany, disen-
gagement-while making the
Free World strong enough,
through political democracy
and economic prosperity, to
resist communism, or of
negotiating from weakness,
with nothing on our side but
unusable military weapons.
This Is our tragic paradox.
With our minds firmly riveted
on the wars of the past we
equate strength with military
force-military force which is
meaningless in itself, and the
expense Of which drains away
our ability to be strong in
real terms. We spend more
on useless military devices in
one year than we are willing
to invest in Latin American
growth and democracy in 10
years.

PARIS.

PARIS.
Premier Khrushchev's lat
est series Of unpleasantries
in the course of celebrating
the safe return Of his newest
coSmonaut have certain
rather special implications
for the promised showdown
on Berlin.
Not only are we now told
that the Russian scientists
are thinking Of building q
bomb equivalent to 100 mil
lion tons Of INT. We are also
told that this bomb-along
with everything else in the
Russian nuclear arsenal-will
land on anyone crazy enough
to engage Russia in military
action Of any kind.
Russia, says Mr.. Khru-
Shchev fatty, would never
fight a limited war. It would,
on the contrary, use "all" its
weapons and while Mr..
Khrushchev, Of course, would
never threaten anyone. he
would be ready If war were
unleashed ito muster all of
our means and resources
against the aggressor."
In this, perhaps, Mr..
KhruShchev was being less
than entirely honest with his
audience. There is, in fact,
nothing that the r ussia n
military leaders would rather
do than fight a Limited"
war-that is q war In which
no nuclear weapons Of any
sort were d. If Mr..
Khrushchev were assured
that he could make use Of
the overwhelming manpower
superiority Of the Red army,
there would be no limit at all
to his ambitions in regard to
Berlin or anywhere else.
The real problem is that
Mr.. Khrushchev has no such
assurance. He is persuaded
only that in order to protect
Berlin the West would do
everything possible to restrict
the use Of nuclear weapons
to a minimum and to limited
targets. He believes - and
may be quite correct in be-
lieving - that the United
States In any sh owdown n
would not invite automatic
destruction by resorting to
strategic bombing Of Russian
cities. To his logical Commu-
mist mind, 1t Is incredible
folly 10 suppose that the West
will protect" Berlin at the
cost Of obliterating every
major Western city.
The Nuclear Choice
On the other hand, he
realizes only too well that
this is not the real choice.
II fighting breaks out be-
tween NATO forces and the
Red Army the choice for the
West will be between accept
ing military defeat in a short
time and using certain types
OF tactical nuclear weapons.
Mr.. Khrushchev is probably
right in Suspecting that every
effort would be made to use
weapons Of limited size
against strictly military tar
