tenn just developed by the
Navy now is demonstrating
an almost incredible effec-
tiVeneSS in Salvaging elec-
tronic and electrical material
damaged by sea water, fuel
oil or smoke"
The system, according to a
Navy report, now is recov-
ering millions of dollars
worth Of radar, radio and
fire-control instruments re-
moved from fire-damaged
areas Of the Carrier Constel-
lation. Hopes are bright that
30 to SO per cent of the
equipment not actually
burned can be restored to
fully usable condition"
In the first step Of the new
process the equipment is
lowered bodily into a tank
OF cleaning emulsion, or the
emulsion is sprayed on. This
removes gummy substances
such as fuel oil or smoke resi-
due. 1t is scrubbed ultra
sonicany by a high-frequency
sound transducer which agi-
tates the emulsion. In the
next step the equipment is
thoroughly flushed with fresh
water to remove the emulsion
itself and traces of salt.
All Water Removed
After flushing, the water
is blown from the equip
ment with compressed air.
The water that cannot be
blown free then is removed
by a water-displacing COM
position which physically
pushes the water aside or
lifts it away from the wetted
surface. The little water that
remains in deep crevices or
interstices between coil wind
ingS combines with the water
diSplacing composition to
form an "azeotrope"-a fluid
with a lower boiling point
than water that takes the
water with it when it evapor-
ates.
In the final step the equip
ment Is placed in a warm
oven where it is left for
several hours. The low, steady
heat evaporates the azeo-
trope, and with it the last
trace Of moisture.
The two chemicals that
make the process work are
the emulsion, which removes
salt water and oily matter,
and the water diSplacing
composition, which removes
the water used in flushing
the emulsion. Both were de-
veloped at the Naval Research
Laboratory:

OSGO.
In the sudden quiet that
has followed the departure OF
the delegates and CORE
Spondents from this NATO
conference, the Berlin crisis"
that has caused most Of the
excitement and caught most
of the headlines over the last
few days is resuming more
reasonable proportions.
In fact, to be truthful
about it, there was never any
real Berlin crisis, though the
Oslo conference at times
seemed perilously close to
manufacturing one out Of
sheer desperation. After all,
you can't have a circus with
out at least one death-defying
act. And you can't have an
international conference with
hundreds Of expensive corre-
Spondents and dozens Of
eager press officers without
at least one juicy crisis to
liven up the proceedings.
The meeting that has just
ended may not have accom-
plished much Of real import
ance, either to NATO or the
world as a whole. But it did
provide a striking demonStra-
ton Of the pressure that can
be generated by the presence
of several hundred hungry
correspondents, the relative
helpleSSneSs Of the diplomatic
apparatus in the face Of this
pressure and the danger that
is involved when it is con-
centrated on a critical and
precariouS area.
So far as the meeting itself
was concerned, what hap
pened about Berlin was about
as unspectacular as possible.
Inevitably in the course of his
review of the world situation,
Secretary Of State RuSk had
to mention Berlin. He re-
called the recent threats of
Premier Khrushchev to sign
a separate peace treaty with
the East German govern
ment, reviewing the implica-
ton that this might have for
the Western position in Ber-
lin and noting the very gen.
eral Western belief that some
new Russian action could be
expected by fall. Inevitably,
also, Mr.. Rusk reaffirmed in
the most careful terms the
determination of the United
StateS-together with its al
lies-to stand by its commit
ments and insist on its rights,
whatever happened.
The RuSk Statement
Even though the sessions
OF the council meeting are
theoretically private" and
no direct quotations are al
lowed from speeches, what
Mr.. Rusk actually said was
made known to most cores
pondents here in a reason
ably short time.
If the Soviet Union threat
ems to sign a separate peace
treaty with East Germany,
Mr.. RuSk said, it should
be left in no doubt that we
would consider such a treaty
as a violation of the legal
situation in Berlin. If the
SovietS proceed, we should
insist on Western access
rights, and make it clear that
this unilateral act cannot
affect Western rights in Ber-
lin which we are determined
to continue to exercise.
Mr.. Rusk added that we

PIeose-No Spoofino

It is absolutely ridiculous" Senator
Russell says, for anyone to suggest that
the public has "a right to know the most
highly secret Of our defense plans" We
agree 100 per cent. And we've never
met anyone who diSagrees. Further
more, we suspect that even the Chairman
Of the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee really doesn't know anyone who
has made such suggestion. If he does,
he didn't name the person.
AS matter of fact, we would 60
further than the Senator from Georgia.
We don't think the public haS-or
claimS-the right" to know any of our
defense plans, much less the most
highly secret" ones. It is true that some
defense information has been made
public through the press. But it is not
true, as one might gather from some Of
the things said in Senator RuSSell'S COM
mittee, that this was the handiwork Of
espionage agents employed by news
papers. In some instances, defense in
formation has been leaked" to the press
by military officials for one reason or
another. In other instances, military
information, some of which was men
toned in the committee, was made
available to the press by the highest
authorities at the Pentagon in "back-
ground" SeSSions-meaning that it was
intended for publication without identi-
flying its source. In these circumstances,
we take a dim view of any attempt to
make the press whipping boy in this
business.
Defense Secretary Mcnamara has
indicated that he intends to clamp down
on the release or the leaking of military
data if he thinks publication would be
harmful to the United States or helpful
to our potential enemies. There can be
no quarrel with this, although excessive
secrecy can be harmful, too.
There is reason, however, to protest
against another suggestion put forward
by Mr.. Mcnamara. He is unhappy
because the truth has been published
about the Nike ZeuS-that this anti
missile missile has not been perfected
and may never be really effective against
enemy attack. why" he asks, Should
we tell Russia that the Zeus develop
ments may not be satisfactory" And
he added: What we ought to be saying
is that we have the most perfect anti
ICBM system that the human mind will
ever devise"
We hope that this was one of those
ill-conSidered observations that some
times are made in haste and regretted
at leisure. A statement released later
by Defense Department Spokesman"
indicates that this was the case For If
Mr.. Mcnamara had really meant what he
appeared to be saying, he would have
been urging that our Government, in the
probably vain hope of fooling the
Russians, should also deceive the Ameri-
can people.
What the Secretary had In mind,
judging from the "Spokesman'S" state
ment, was not to mislead our own
people with respect to our military
problems, but to avoid giving informa-
ton to the Russians. To accomplish
this, and at the same time to arouse the
American people to that greater effort
and sacrifice for which the President
has called, may take bit of doing. But
that is Mr.. McNamara's responsibility.

Insanity of Conference Diplomacy
BY CROSBY S. N
Foreign Correspondent of The St

and its allies) are prepared
to resist encroachment in
Berlin but that new negotia-
tions under certain circum-
stances could not be ruled
out.
Mr.. Rusk'S statement, in
fact, neither added nor sub
tracted anything from the
American position on Berlin.
1t marked neither a toughen-
ing up nor a softening of the
attitude of the previous
administration. II anything
was changed at all it was
that today the signing Of a
separate peace treaty be-
tween Russia and East Ger
many is recognized as a prob
ability. And while the United
States is planning to contest
the legality of the move, it
is not planning to take any
drastic action unless the
actual situation in Berlin re-
quires it.
Causes Of Exaggeration
That this moderate state
ment should have been blown
up into the major news story
of the conference was due
in part to the inexperience
of the NATO briefing officer
and the inevitable distortions
in translating something from
English to French and back
to English again. 1t was also
due in part to the over-eager-
ness of the assembled report
ers, who leaped like a school
of famished trout at the first
mention of the magic word,
Berlin.
At any rate, the version
which came out of the Off
cial public briefing was that
Mr.. Rusk had vowed to main
tain the Western position in
Berlin by every means, in
cluding the use of military
force" And before five more
minutes had passed, bulletins
were flying all over the world
that the United States was
ready to use tanks to smash
any new blockade.
1t made no difference that
the real version of the Secre-
tary's statement was avail
able a short time afterward.
The myth of the Berlin crisis
was firmly established. And
it held up through successive
attempts by officials to set
the record straight until the
conference ended.
The dangers in this kind of
nonsense are obvious. Even
though the NATO meetings
are very largely public re-
lationS exercises, there is
really no obligation to make
headlines at the risk of doing
real damage to the interests of
the alliance and even the
peace Of the world. Some, like
President Kennedy, may sug-
gest that cure may be found
in soberer and more respon-
sible newspaper reporters.
Others may blame the inept-
ness Of the junior officials
charged with the thankless
job Of relaying their masters
words to the waiting world.
To most Of those who sat
through it, however, the in
cident was just one more
proof OF the basic insanity of
the conference method of
diplomacy as it has been
developed over the last few
years - a special form of
springtime madness which
the coming weeks promise
to provide in large doses.

been installed throughout the
city, to enable people to find
their way about; a pumper has
been bought for the fire truck,
and the city also purchased a new

Two new water wells have been
drilled, to give a plentiful water
supply and to reduce the need for
water rationing in summer
months. Residents may water their
lawns as needed.
Restrictions to the expansion
of the city have been removed
through the construction of the
sewage lagoon, allowing the city
a sewage disposal system which
is approved by the state board of
health. A sewer rodder was also
added to the city equipment for
this department.
In addition TO these improve
