It Is amazing how confus-
ing and inadequate some Of
the information can be that
is given out in a presidential
press conference. AL that the
newspaper dispatches thus far
have really told the American
people is that President Ken
nedy has asked a special
panel of scientists to find out
for him whether the Russians
can carry on underground
testing Of nuclear weapons
without our knowledge.
But the truth is that the
Presidents announcement is
just a maneuver designed to
allay for a while the clamor
for resumption of testing.
Indeed, the United States
Government knows, and has
known for more than two
years, that tests can be con-
Quoted underground without
detection. Even above-ground
tests are never announced by
the SovietS unless they have
been detected by other coun-
tries.
The real question today is
what the President is going
to do about it, and whether he
will authorize a resumption
at least Of underground tests,
as has been demanded in re-
cent months by public opin-
ion and reflected by speeches
by the members Of both
parties in Congress.
Mr.. Kennedy's action, how
ever, means more delay and
more procraStination. He is
unwittingly giving an advant-
age to the Soviets, who want
more talk and more time con-
sumed while they keep the
United States from doing any
testing as they remain free to
carry on clandestine expert
mentS.
Another factor causing a
raising of eyebrows is that
the Atomic Energy CommiS-
sion, which is supposed to be
the center of the whole nu-
clear-research problem, isn't
mentioned by the President
as having any voice in the
decisions he is about to make.
He has called in outside

The Presidents A-Test Inquiry

States and that it occurred
in Nevada. A seismic station
in Alaska, which had been
notified in advance of the
exact time to expect it, picked
UP the signal Of the blast.
The tape recording Of that
explosion shows that the
"wiggles" we're smaller than
for some earthquakes and
other disturbances. and that
it would be impossible to diff
ferentiate as between under
ground nuclear test marks
shown on the recording and
those made by an earthquake
or other disturbance, such as
the winds against the cliffs
in the Aleutian islands. There
is an average of 200 earth
quakeS q year in the Soviet
Union which make the same
markings on a seismic tape
as do large-scale explosions.
AS q matter of fact, six
months after the negotiations
on the test ban began at
Geneva, American experts had
to admit to the Soviets that
we had been wrong in our
previous assumption that un-
derground tests are detachable
and could not be concealed.
viii some Of these same
experts now be asked to de-
eide the all-important ques-
tionS involving Judgment
rather than technical mat
terS?
The United States already
has made one mistake in vol
unfairly agreeing to a suspen-
sion Of testing on the assump-
ton that the Soviets would
do likewise and that they
could be checked upon to de-
termine If there was any
cheating. In fact. the current
negotiations were started en-
tirely in that belief. Now the
United States knows that un-
derground tests can be con-
cealed by any nation intent
on doing so. But the President
still is reluctant to resume
testing. This is exactly what
the Soviets want America to
do-to maintain the test ban
indefinitely while they go
ahead to perfect weapons of
greater and greater power,
such as the so-called neutron
bomb.

perience as chairman of
Senate Banking and Cur

What the President thinks
Of him appeared when he
wanted to make the Senator

Rock stood in the way; it
was decided not to risk it for
fear Of an adverse reaction
in Asia and Africa.
The Senator abided by the
decision with his usual grace.
He has proceeded to add to
his considerable reputation
by plainly and boldly oppos-
ing the Cuban invasion In
the private White House con-
ferences which preceded that
fiasco. Out-voted again by
political considerations, he
has still kept silent.
Locally, Arkansas politics
are at this point somewhat
confused. The State will lose

At least one piece Of good
news for the Kennedy ad-
ministration transpired this
week. 1t happened in Arkan-
sas, a State which Democrats
naturally eye with some ap-
preherision since Little Rock
became a byword in 1857.
Gov. Faubus, central figure
in that desegregation dis
pute, put his political pres
tige on the line for a $50
million bond proposal and
lost. The voters buried it, 2
to /, diminishing his per-
sonal luster and removing
from him q potential source
of campaign firepower in the
form Of local projects and
spending.
The diminution Of Gov.
FaubuS is welcome by itself,
but, even more important to
the President. it suggests
that his potential as a rival
to a key Kennedy lieutenant,
Senator j. W. Fulbright, has
been materially lessened.
Gov. Faubus had not said he
might want Senator Full

have a way of asserting
themselves in such matters.

Unity of the Allies on Berlin Hailed,
With More ResoIuteness Urged

two wholly opposite mean
ings - that the Russians
really are preparing for major
trouble with the West; or that
they are running a small
game Of personal bluff. The
inclination here is to believe
that the bluff explanation is
the more likely.
Thus the basic situation
within our Government is
this: There is some qualified
hope that Mr.. KhruShchev
will not push the Berlin crisis
to the point Of war; and the
West is preparing several
steps now to convince him
that he would be unwiSe to
do so. We remain in the
meantime unalterably deter
mined never to negotiate on
the two vital things. These
are the Vests continued
right to keep troops in Berlin
and to have access to the
city.
We are willing to negotiate
on lesser matters; and it may
be that he will at length
accept that alternative so
that he can claim within the
Communist world to have
won something or other.
If all this turns out to be a
sound hope, there will have
been a great victory for West
ern solidarity. And If events
do bring such a victory, the
triumph will not have been
for one man and one coun-
try, President Kennedy and
the United States. Rather,

policy of firmness-without-
rashness over Berlin, Nikita
Khrushchev has now sharp
ened even more his favorite
tactic Of turning up and then

the Soviet bloc.
This is the reading of high
American officials Of Mr..
Khrushchev's assertion that
the Soviet Union has no in
tention Of trying to blockade
West Berlin as a means of
driving Western troops from
the city. All they can feel
sure Of is that, for the mo-
ment at least, he is easing
the heat a bit.
Taking words simply as
words. his latest statement
would undoubtedly mean that
he had retreated slightly from
a previously gravely threaten
ing attitude over Berlin. But,
Say our experts, this is again
where they came in: We don't
know what he really means
now, any more than we did
before.
There is, moreover, an ad-
ditional fact. Our diplomatic
