GO Home, Russionsr

Recently the Soviet Union
has suggested to the q. N.
Commission on Permanent
Sovereignty over Natural Re-
sources that the q. N. Cen
eral Assembly affirm that ma
tions have the right to freely
carry out naturalization, ex-
preparation and other meas
ures for strengthening their
sovereignty over their nat
ural wealth. Fine!
Since we cannot stop Sow
let plundering of the natural
resources of the satellites of
Eastern Europe, let us begin
elsewhere. Today, the good old
Soviet Union owns and ope-
rates coal mines in Norwegian
Spitsbergen. With all the Sow
let crying about exploitation
of another nations natural
resources, one would think
that the Soviets themselves,
paragons of virtue which they
always claim to be, would put
an end to this imperialistic
practice of mining in Now
wegian SpitSbergen.
Hands off Spitsbergen! Go
home Russiansl

Ar-Mopping in South America
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

square miles-now is in the
making.
This is a major CO.
operative project between the
Venezuelan government and
the 1nter-American Geo
detic Survey which is asso-
ciated with the United States
Army Map Service. The
greater part of the work is
being done by Venezuelan
engineers with Unites States
equipment and technical as
SiStance.
Although Venezuela al
ready is one of the best
known regions of South
America, much of the in
terror is only vaguely
mapped, especially in noun
tain and jungle areas.
The new map will be on a
scale of one-to-250,000 and
will make possible exact pin
pointing of any spot in the
republic.
Emphasis on Defense Areas
It is considered essential
because of various plans for
expansion in various lines.
The country has an extensive
program of highway con-
Struction penetrating now
primitive areas. Reforesta-
ton of water basins is now
underway. There are plans
for housing developments
and a great network of aque-
ducts. The new map will be
concentrated first on stra-
tegic defense areas.
Among the plans projected
for the near future are the
settlement of about 100000
farming families on approx
mately z million acres of
public lands. This will re-
quire building of many more
highways and the setting up
of villages and market CEN
ters where none now exist,
according to DR.. Hernandez
Ron, minister of Public
Works.
Close cooperation between
the Venezuelan government
and the Inter American
Geodetic Survey has been in
effect for the past decade
and considerable progress
already has been made in
significant areas. Actual
work on the new map, in
tended to make Venezuela
the best mapped country in
South America, started in
December with two venezue-
Ian planes operating in the
Andes region. Special atten-
ton is being given to ac-
curate determination Of dis
tances, within a few hundred
feet, between distinguishable
landmarks, and precise de-
termination of the degrees
of slopes.
The work will require ac-
curate mapping of the
courses of more than 1000
rivers, some of which flow
through essentially unknown
territory.

which contributes to disorder
and Generalization Of the
civilian population improved
their own position.
Meanwhile, at Evian, the
Algerian negotiators, led by
tough, stocky guerrilla fight
er Belkacem Krim, have stu
diously avoided coming to
grips with any Of the serious
points under discussion. They
have instead endlesSly re-
peated their general philosA
ophy of an Algerian settle
ment-their claim to speak
exclusively for the Algerian
people, their demand for the
territorial integrity of the
country, including the vast
Sahara region and their in
siStence on absolute sover-
eighty before the questions
of association with France
can be negotiated.
Wanted Leader Freed
At the same time, Mr..
Krim and his colleagues have
limited broadly that their at
titude on all Of these mat
ters, including the feasibility
Of the cease fire, might be
different if the French would
set free their 'Vice Premier"
Ahmed Ben Bella, and bring
him to Evian to join the
negotiations. The French,
who have held Mr.. Ben Bella
under house arrest since his
capture five years ago, insist
that he will not be freed
until the cease fire is an ac-
compliShed fact.
For his part. Mr.. JOKE has
gotten almost nowhere on
the points that particularly
concern the French side. In
addition to a firm cease fire
these include guarantees for
European minorities after
independence and protection
Of French investments in the
Sahara. On the question Of
guarantees the best he has
been able to get so far is a
promise from the NATIONAL
lists to grant Algerian citi-
zenship to all Europeans who
want it and offer to negoti-
ate later on guarantees for
those who wish to remain
French. On the problem Of
the Sahara, there has SO far
been no give whatever in the
Algerian demands for COM
plete sovereignty.
Gloomy as the present out
look is, however. these issues
do not seem unbridgeable to
most impartial observers. On
both sides there seems to be
room enough for compromise
If a genuine mood of concil-
iation could be achieved. 1t
is thought, for example, that
if agreement were reached
on the matter Of guarantees
for Europeans, the French
would be willing to recognize
the principle of Algerian
sovereignty in the Sahara,
provided their rights we're
protected. If at this point a
cease fire could be arranged
and Mr.. Ben Bella freed the
outlook would improve inn
measurably. .

Civil RIGHTS inD.C.

In q harShly worded mi

which set a convicted rapist
free to resume his life Of

These gentlemen must not
have been in Washington

1857, or they do not read the

by without some woman, gen.
orally one who has no hus-
band or whose husband is at
work, being raped in her own
home by a rapist who does
exactly as Mallory did, hold
a knife at her throat. The
Supreme Courts Mallory rul-
ing Of 1857 accomplished two
dastardly results: it figur-
atively tied one hand Of the
police behind their backs in
fighting crime, and it gave a
big, bright green light to the
rapists Of this city to go ahead
as fast and as often as they
wanted to.

Report From Oslo

A few days before the NATO
meetings started, an inspiring
conference occurred in Oslo.
Scholars and international
leaders, under the sponsor
ship of Linus and Ava Helen
Pauling, Max Born, Lord Boyd
Orr. Brock Chisholm, Mrs.
Cyrus Eaton. Robert Hutch
inS. Alexander Meiklejohn,
Lewis Mumford, Mrs. Ram
esdhwari Nehru, Philip Noel
Baker. Alan Patton, Bertrand
Russell, Albert Schweitzer,
Albert Scent -Gyorgyi, Hideki
Yukawa and other foreign
sponsors, met to discuss the
consequences Of the spread Of
nuclear weapons.
The conference was held
in connection with an appeal
from 80 Nobel laureates and
leading men and women from
many countries. The confer
ence pointed to the possi-
bility of acquisition Of nu-
clear weapons by several ma
tionS which would constitute
a grave risk to the world:
Each addition to the num-
Der Of nations armed with
nuclear weapons drives its
neighbors toward acquiring
similar arms. As nuclear wea-
pons pass into more hands,
the chance increases that q
major war will be started by
some human error or techni-
cal accident. The spread to
more nations increases the
chance Of deliberate initiation
OF nuclear war. Increase in
the number Of nuclear powers
would further increase the
difficulty of achieving dis
armament. After it obtains
nuclear weapons, q nation
becomes a more likely target
in any nuclear war.
The conference considered
that no dispute can Justify
nuclear war. In view Of the
danger and instability of the
present arms race, the only
sane policy for the world is
that of achieving general and
complete world disarmament
with suitable international
control and inspection. The
conference made the recon-
mendations:
Cd We urge that the pres
ent nuclear powers imme-
diately bind themselves by
treaty not to transfer nuclear
weapons to other nations or
groups of nations, and that
all nations not now possess
ing these weapons commit
themselves to refrain from
obtaining or developing them.
(2) We urge that nego-
tiations be started on the
much more complex problem
of extending the principle of
demilitarization to the areas
of greatest tension, beginning
with central Europe.
90 We oppose the carrying
out of any further tests of
nuclear weapons by any ma
ton. We urge that the draft
ing of the test-ban treaty be
swiftly completed by reason
able compromise on the few
questions remaining un-
settled.
"a Disarmament will pro-
vide a great opportunity to
raise the standard of living
throughout the world, but will
also pose major problems of
reorganization. We urge that
detailed studies Of these prob
lens be undertaken now, both
on a national and interna-
tional scale. Herbert Jehle,

Taking the picture of more

The crews have just served in

for some of the widest areas

Joint Project
The picture-taking is q
joint project of the Geodetic
Survey and the Insti-
tuto Geographica Militar of
La Paz. Literally thousands
of separate pictures will be
taken. These then will be
fitted together by the Ameri-
can and Bolivian engineers
to provide a complete COM
posite photograph of the
countryside from which it
will be possible to construct a
map showing not only pre-
else locations of places but
elevations of various regions.
The completed map, sur
vey officials say, will be pro-
vided both to Bolivia and
the United States, to be fit
ted into a map covering most
of the South American con-
tinent. Maps of any sort are
especially needed for the An
dean area which has been so
difficult to penetrate in the
past.
Bolivian engineers now in
Panama are being briefed on
the techniques Of map max
ing being used and are ex-
pected later to carry on
largely on their own, with
some special equipment pro-
vided by the survey.
The map will be an extern
sion of work of the same sort

in the South American map
ping program, supported es-
sentially by the entire hemi-
sphere.

The overwhelming vote by which
the House once again has enacted leg
1Slation to modify the effect of the
Supreme Courts ruling in the Mallory
case undoubtedly reflects the real atti-
tude of Congress on this question.
Seven years ago the court reversed
the rape conviction of Andrew Mallory,
holding that delay of 7K2 hours in
arraigning him after his arrest rendered
his confession unusable. The court based
the ruling on Federal Rule 5(a), which
calls for arraignment without unneces-
$ary delay. Some of those who support
the ruling have contended it was con-
EiStent with the expressed will of Con-
greSs. Subsequent votes in both House
and Senate, however, have clearly shown
that this is not true.
The effect of the Mallory ruling was
to bring about the release of the GRIM
tnal because, without the confession,
there was insufficient evidence to con-
Wict him. (He soon committed another
felony, and is now lodged in jail in
Pennsylvania The HouSe-enacted bill
merely provides that an otherwise VOL
Antary confession shall not be inadmiS-
Sible as evidence solely because of delay
in arraignment, provided the suspect
had been advised, before confeSSing,
that he was not required to make any
Statement and that statement, if
made, might be used against him. BY
no stretch of the imagination does the
measure undertake to permit the use
pf confessions that are obtained through
promises, threats, improper induce
mentS, coercion, dureSs or physical
compulsion. And Congress, of course,
gould not do this in any event, for the
courts on constitutional grounds would
throw out confession so obtained.
7. Nevertheless, there has been a vast
amount of Misrepresentation on this
point. For example, a report by four
minority members of the House District
Committee says that under this bill "the
police could hold suspect incommuni-
lcado for weeks, even months, while they
pursue their questioning, and then use
against him any confession or state
ment' which they extract from him"
The fact is that any such confession
Should be and would be rejected in court.
still, since this argument is being made,
we think the House approved bill should
,be amended in the Senate to permit the
Iuse Of confessions if there has not been
ian unreasonable delay in arraignment.
The question of what is reasonable
would, of course, be determined by the
courts on the facts of each case. Ger
tainly delay of weeks or months while
q confession is being extracted" would
not be sanctioned.
The opposition to modification of
the Mallory rule rests, we believe, on
Excessive concern for the criminal and
too little concern for the public. Thus,
the minority committee report speaks of
Mallory as a "19-year-old lad of limited
intelligence" It says that "the ignorant,
the 1owly, the illiterate, do not fully
understand such things as the privilege
against standardization" And so on.
But what about the people upon whom
these criminals prey? Should there not
also be an acute concern for them? The
minority report does not even mention
Mallory's victim. We wonder if the four
sCongressmen who signed the report even
know her name.

Diplomatic Protest
Concerned.

I have been sent q clipping
from the column. Watching
the World" by your foreign
correspondent, Crosby s.
Noyes, dated April 7 and en-
titled Recognition of United
States Error in Laos" This
column contains the follow
ing sentence:
when the troops of Gen.
eral Phoumi re-entered Vien-
tiane on December is after
an artillery bombardment
that caused 200 civilian
deaths, the American Ambas-
sador held a victory celebra-
ton at the Settha Palace
Hotel"
This statement is COM
pletely false. I gave no cell
ebration Of any kind, neither
at the Settha Palace Hotel
nor elsewhere. In fact, I
have never entertained In
this hotel on any occasion
nor in any other hotel in
Vientiane. If your corre-
spondent had made the least
effort to check these facts,
he could have easily aScer-
tanned them. He could also
have ascertained that, far
from celebrating, the Amer
ican Embassy was busy at
that time organizing supplies
of food and medical care for
the people of Vientiane.
I am really surprised and
distressed that a responsible
Am erican correspondent
should publish a statement
of this kind with its implica-
ton, SO calculated to bring
the United States into diSre-
pute, of callous disregard Of
human suffering by an Amer
ican Ambassador as we'll as
of openly taking sides in an
internal problem of another
country.

Laos, Vientiane, Laos.
Editors note: The Star
has inquired of its corre-
spondent as to the validity of
Ambassador Browns protest,
and has received the follow
ing reply:
"I very much regret the
error to which Ambassador
Brown refers. The informa-
tion came to me from sources
who were in Vientiane in
December and whose reliabil-
ity I had no reason to ques-
ton. The purpose of includ-
ing it in my story was not, of
course, to disparage the con-
duct of the Ambassador dur
ing the attack, which I un-
derstand was exemplary, or
to imply any callousness on
his part toward the casual
ties. My purpose was simply
to illustrate the extent to
which American policy at the
time was committed to the
cause of Gen. Phoumi against
Soumannah Phouma and
Kong Lea fact about which
I believe there can be no
doubt whatever.")

When it comes to the busi-
ness Of negotiations Of one
kind or another, the time
seems strangely out Of joint.
o In Geneva the talks with
Russia on nuclear testing
have now practically been
given up as a lost cause. The
argument over the future Of
Laos is going from bad to
worse. And today at Evian
the peace conference between
France and the Algerian ma
tionalist leaders has reached
the point of indefinite ad-
journment.
Both sides have reluctantly
resigned themselves to post
ponement of the negotiations
for an indefinite period. The
official excuse for breaking
off is that the hotel keepers
in Evian were promised at
the outset that the con-
ference would move else
where after June 20 and that
they would be able to open
their tourist season. But in
fact the break will be longer
than would be needed to
shift the site Of the talks to
a new location. And the main
purpose Of the adjournment
is to give both sides time for
reflection and consultation.
It comes, however, at an
exceedingly awkward time.
In Algeria itself, the one
sided cease fire ordered by
Gen. de Gaulle at the time
of the opening of the Evian
talks is due to come to an end
next Tuesday unless it is ex-
tended. The chances of ex-
tension, however, seem re-
mote. Since the cease fire
was declared the rate Of ter
rorist activity in Algeria has
stepped up sharply. Official
totals announced last week
end include 1873 killed by
Algerian nationalists and 300
wounded. On the European
side, counter-terrorists were
charged with one murder
and 154 explosions resulting
in two deaths and Is
wounded.
Pressure to Renew Fighting
Quite clearly the present
deterioration Of the situation
in Algeria cannot be allowed
to continue much longer.
Public reaction there and in
France is becoming increaS-
ingly bitter. Although the
effect Of renewed French mil
itary action might be disas-
trous on the peace negotia-
tionS, there will be strong
pressure on Gen. de Gaplle
not to extend the cease fire.
If large-scale fighting is
resumed the Algerian ma
tionalists will have no one
to blame but themselves.
From the outset they reject
ed the French offer of a
truce, denouncing it as a
propaganda trick and prom
ising to continue the fight
until the major political
questions had been settled.
There is little question that
they have encouraged the
present wave Of terrorism in
