General for fifteen long, arduous
years. He knew the people, both

overcame them.

The Soviet governments de-
cision to resume nuclear weap-
ons testing will be met with
deepest concern and resentment
throughout the world. The
Soviet governments decision to
resume nuclear weapons testing
presents a hazard to every
human being throughout the
world by increasing the dangers
of nuclear fallout. The Soviet
governments decision to resume
nuclear weapons testing is in
utter disregard of the desire of
mankind for a decrease in the
arms race. The Soviet govern
ment'S decision to resume nu-
clear weapons testing presents
a threat to the entire world by
increasing the dangers of a
thermonuclear holocaust. The
Soviet governments decision to
resume nuclear weapons testing
indicates the complete hypoc-
risy of its professions about
general and complete disarma-
ment.
For three years world attention
has centered on the negotiations
in Geneva for a treaty to secure
an end to nuclear testing. Un-
til last March it appeared that
slow but encouraging progress
had been made. At that time
the Soviet Union reversed its
own earlier positions on key
issues, refused to discuss seri-
ously the genuine efforts made
by the United States and the
United Kingdom to meet known
Soviet views, and blocked the
path toward a nuclear test ban
treaty. In order to avoid miss
ing any possible opportunity to
arrive at an agreement, the
United States and the United
Kingdom remained at the ne
gotiating table.
Additional Proposals
Only this week Ambassador
(Arthur H. Dean had made
additional proposals in the hope
of moving toward a test ban
under effective international
control. Urgent discussion of
this issue had been scheduled
at United States initiative at
the forthcoming session of the
General Assembly in the hopes
that constructive debate could
show the way to surmount the
impaSSe at Geneva.
The pretext offered by the
announcement for Soviet re-
sumption of weapons testing is
the very crisis which they them
selves have created by threat
ening to disturb the peace
which has existed in Germany
and Berlin.
1t is not the first time they
have made such changes
against those who have dared
to stand in the way of Soviet

Political Winds
Buffet Brazil
By GEORGE SHERMAN
Star Staff Writer

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
Aug. 31.-Events are moving so
rapidly in this country without
a president that no one can
keep up with them. RumorS and
counter-rmors, half-truthS and
outright falsehoods chase each
other around city streets like
scraps of paper picked up by
a torrential wind which sud-
denly descended from the sur
rounding hills yesterday.
This unseaSonal blast of hot
air from the west, nicknamed
suicide wind" by Brazilians,
has not Soothed political
temperatures. The impaSse is
concerned with how to main
tain the constitution and still
meet the categorical objections
of the armed forces to having
Vice President Joao Goulart
succeed to the presidential Of
flee suddenly vacated last Fri
day by Janio Quadros.
Marshal Odylio Denys, power
| full Minister of War, together
with heads of the navy and air
force, claim Mr.. Goulart's
''leftist extremism" would en-
danger national security. Yes
terday the first glimmer - but
only glimmer-of a compromise
began to appear.
Marshal Denys announced
he would accept a compromise
worked out by a congressional
committee to make Mr.. Goulart
representative" president.
Since Mr.. Goulart is still out
side of the country on his way
home in stages from a trading
mission in Communist China,
no one is quite sure what he
thinks about this compromise.
That uncertainty will end only
when he sets foot on Brazilian
soil.
Speculation today centers
around the possibility that Mr..
Goulart may fly by way of the
South American west coast to
Porto Allegro, city in the south,
to join his brother-in-laW, Gov
ernor of the state, who has
come out in opposition to Mar
shall Denys and the federal gov
ernment.
By the proposed compromise
Mr.. Goulart would reign but
not rule, in much the same
fashion as present German and
Italian presidents. Two houses
of congress would appoint a
prime minister and coalition
council of ministers to govern
the country. This "parliamen-
tary government" would last
until January, 1868, when the
next congressional elections are
due.
Nothing is said about what
happens then. Observers believe
that by that time the situation
would be sufficiently stable to
bring the government in line
with the constitution, or alter
natively, to bring the constitu-
ton in line with the new system
of government.
News about what happens in
congress reaches this political
center only in bits and pieces.
It's debate is taking place in
the isolated capital of Brasilia,
half completed in a jungle
wilderness some 500 miles
away. Communications are
sporadic.
The difficulty is further COM
pounded by failure of several
leading newspapers to appear
during the last few days.

"Khrushchev acts against his
own interests as well as those.
of the West. The only people
to gain are the malcontents
and mischief-mskers who do
not want the West and East to
solve their differences" the
Express said.
The British organization
known as the Campaign for
Nuclear Disarmament, which
hitherto has concentrated on
Strident protests and demon
Strations against American and
British Nuclear Weapons, an
nounced it would deliver a pro-
test note at the Soviet En-
baSSy.
The organization also sched-
uled a protest march to the
Soviet Embassy Sunday.
Strongest initial editorial re-
action elsewhere in Europe
came from Stockholm's Alton
bladet, a paper owned by labor
unions which frequently re-
fleets the views of the Socialist
government.
Aftonbladet said:
The Russian decision to re-
sumo the nuclear tests is ruth
less and difficult to understand
1t seems to be political
miSjudgment of gigantic pro-
portions to resume the tests at
this time.
This is hypocrisy beyond all
boundaries"
Stockholm'S liberal expression
urged the Swedish government
to inform Moscow that Sweden
cannot accept the increased
risks we are exposed to through
the Russian decision"
The Paris morning paper
Aurore commented on "the
cynicism which marks Soviet
policies.
Gesture of Anger"
Figaro said: "Mr. Khrushchev
has just given vent to a pure
and simple gesture of anger"
In Japan, only nation ever
hit by an atomic attack, the
pro-Western government issued
a statement saying that the
Soviet Union should take into
consideration the great effect
on the future of mankind that
its decision will have, and it
should cooperate with other
countries in reaching an agree
ment to ban nuclear weapons"
The ruling Liberal Demo-
cratic Party, noted that the an
nouncement said the Soviet
government was compelled to
resume tests because of the
pressure of international ten
sion centering on Berlin. But
we japanese we'll know who
brought about the Berlin
crisis"
Party Secretary C eneraI
Shigesaburo Maeo said the
Russian move ignores the de-
sire for world peace of all
mankind"
The opposition Socialist
Party and the Sohyo Trade
Union Federation, which spear
headed demonstrations against
the Japan-United States secur-
ity treaty last year, both ex-
pressed regret at the Soviet
action.
Evening star., 1961-08-31


Noting that no warning of
the move had appeared at yes
terday's session of the Geneva
test ban talks, the spokesman
said:
1T is ridiculous to put the
blame on the Western powers. "
Editorial comment in Europe'S
morning papers was sparse be-
cause of the late hour of the
announcement. But the news
leaped to the top of most front
pages.
The chief United States del
egate to the Geneva talks, Ar
thur H. Dean, said the Soviet
Union had "given clear evi-
dence it is no longer interested
in a test ban treaty"
Statement a Fraud
Its statement that it will
accept a test ban treaty after
general and complete diSarm-
ament is, of course, a fraud, "
said Mr.. Dean as he prepared
to return to Washington.
In Geneva, the United States
and British delegations an
nounced that the next meeting
of the test ban conference
originally set for tomorrow
afternoon. "has been suspended
until further notice"
Chief British Delegate David
OrmSby-G Gore also was return
ing to his capital, but both he
and Mr.. Dean were leaving dep
uties behind. A Soviet spokes-
man said Russian Delegate
Semyon K. Tsarapkin, who de-
clined to make any statement
to newsmen, does not plan to
leave Geneva.
Britain'S Foreign Secretary
Lord Home, returned to London
from vacation to begin studying
the Russian announcement
Prime Minister Macmillan con-
tinues his vacation in Scotland
Lord Home and Mr.. Macmillan
were expected to get in touch
by telephone to discuss whether
Britain would also rSume nu-
clear blasts, which she had
suspended along with the
United States and Russia dur
ing the Geneva negotiations
Sees Intimidation"
France accused the Soviet
Union of trying to broWbeat the
West into submission on Ber-
lin and Germany with the
resumption of nuclear tests. A
Foreign Ministry official said
Russia is following a policy OF
intimidation"
The Dutch government ex-
pressed serious regrets" at the
Soviet decision and said world
opinion will be deeply shocked .
Typical headlines in Britain
were:
Russian H-test shock

"Mr. KS shock H-teSts start

a further squirt in the nucleal
arms race is now inevitable.

aggression. In addition the an
nouncement links the reSump-
tion of testing with threats of
massive weapons which it must
know cannot intimidate the rest
of the world.
Soviet Purpose Seen
The purpose and motivation
of this Soviet behavior now
seem apparent:
The Soviet government wished
to abandon serious negotiations
in order to free its hand to re-
sumo nuclear weapons testing.
The United States continues
to share the view of the people
of the world as to the impor-
tance of an agreement to end
nuclear weapons tests under
effective safeguards.
Such an agreement would
represent a major breakthrough
in the search for an end to the
arms race. 1t would stop the
accumulation of stockpiles of
ever more powerful weapons.
It would inhibit the spread of
nuclear weapons to other
countries with it's increased
risks of nuclear war.
Blocked by Decision
These results, with their pros
poets for reducing the posi-
bility of a nuclear war have
been blocked by the Soviet uni
lateral decision to resume nu-
clear testing.
The Soviet Union bears a
heavy responsibility before all
humanity for this decision, a
decision which was made in
complete disregard of the
United Nations.
The termination of the mora
torium on nuclear testing by
the Soviet unilateral decision
leaves the United States under
the necessity of deciding what
its own national interests re-
quire.
Under these circumstances,
Ambassador Arthur Dean is
being recalled Immediately
from Geneva.
