Pressure On Again

Last Tuesday, Mr.. KhruShchev
returned to the German question
in a long address to the World
Congress for General Disarma-
ment and Peace in Moscow. The
congress, expected to be prose-
Wet in tone, had a few surprises
when some American and British
ban the bomb" representatives
attacked Soviet as well as Amer
lean testing.
Mr.. Khrushchev said in place
of American, British and French
occupation forces, he would be
willing to see troops from Belgium
and the Netherlands. or from Den
mark and Norway, as well as from
Czechoslovakia and Poland, sta
toned in West (but not East)
Berlin.
In addition, he said, these forces
should only be allowed in West
Berlin for a definite length of
time, and under United Nations
auspices.
Since this is a variant on an old
Soviet proposal, the United States
and Britain rejected it almost as
soon as it was received.
This alacrity ranked Moscow
and, on Thursday, Tass, the So
Wet news agency, issued an of
ficial statement warning that "the
Soviet Union will not consent to
the preservation of a NATO mill
tary base in West Berlin and all

THE FOREIGN SCENE
1H FOREIGN eA. THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
New Berlin Crisis -
Costs Summer Pail A Peaceful Conquest Of Space

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
proposed last week that Amer
lean, British and French TROOPS
be Withdrawn from West Ber-
lin and replaced by forces from
other NATO countries. He also
said Polish and Czech troops
should be stationed there under
U. N. supervision. The West re-
jected the plan.
With little hope Of success,
the 17-nation disarmament con-
ference resumes its work in
Geneva tomorrow.
For more than a year, the
United States and the Soviet I'm
ion have been conducting a mo-
notonous but crucial dialogue
about Berlin.
The dialogue has ranged from
fiery denunciationS by Mr.. Khru-
Shchev to flight if necessary"
pledges by President Kennedy,
with milder remarks by both men
in between. 1t has included aide
memories. white papers, and calls
for summit conferences. 1t has
been carried on in secret by top
level officials against a backdrop
of two long series of nuclear ex-
ploSions, one by the USSR and
one by the United States.
In short, the full arsenal of
diplomacy Except U. N. debate
and the World Court has been
used in an effort to solve the Ber-
lin dilemma. And yet. Is months
from the time Mr.. Khrushchev
handed Mr.. Kennedy his June 4
Berlin aide-memoire in Vienna,
the situation remains unchanged.

There's Old Glory

Then came a picture of Old
Glory waving on millions of
American television sets to the
tune of the National Anthem.
Symbolically. the flag stood in
front of the giant horn antenna
at Andover.
Telstar had made good on her
sixth orbit. But how much so
was not known until a few min
uteS later when it was learned
that the signals, intended only
for Andover and the Holmdel,
IN. j. station. had reached
Frances Brittany station as
though from 20 miles away.
At Andover there was hand
claSping among the men Of Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph's Bell
Laboratories who had perfected
Telstar and the men of Douglas
who had perfected Thor-Delta and
the men of NASA who had sent
the bird on its way.
England's Goonhilly Downs sta
ton also got a signal Qess per-

A-Tests:
Blast in Space

The United States set off a
megatOn-plus bomb in the Pa
cific Monday 200 miles above
Johnston Island, lighting up
skies nearly 1000 miles away.
1t is approaching three months
since the United States reactivat-
ed its program of nuclear testing
in the atmosphere in retaliation
for the Stab-in-the-back Soviet
Russia dealt the 3-year morato-
rum on such activity.
Apparently nearing the end of
the Pacific series, this country
made the brightest, if not the
loudest, blast of all with ther-
monuclear shot in the electrically
charged ionoSphere.
Unofficial sources put the ex-
blossoms force at "a couple of
megatons." or the equivalent of
at least 2 million tons of TINT.
For six minutes, the overcast
night sky of Hawaii, 750 miles
away, was turned into daylight.
And as far away as New Zealand
-3,843 miles distant-an. artifi-
cial aurora filled the skies.

Favor Status Quo

Western Position - The West
feels generally that there is no
need for a change in the status
quo until all of Germany is united
through free elections. France
feels so strongly on this subject
that she has been against nego-
tiations from the start. West Ger
many's government is committed
to rescuing East Germany from
what it calls Communist "en-
slavement." Thus, it opposes any
recognition of the legality of the
East German Ulbricht regime: 1t
is willing for the United States
to conduct talks, however, leading
to an easing of tensions in the
area. Britain supports the United
States view, as do the other men,
bers of NATO.
The United States believes Ber-
lin is both an important SYM
bolic and real issue. It feels the
West must keep its 10000 troops
in Berlin as a sign that it is
dedicated to preserving the free
dom of the people there.
Accordingly, American officials
refuse to discuss withdrawal OF
the Vests garrison until the Rus
slams discuss a total German So
luton. This would include as the
first step, misunderstanding all OF
Berlin, not just the Western sec
tor. and eventual German cleo
tions.
To ease tensions, the U mite d
States has proposed an interna-
tional authority over the access
routes to Berlin to ensure that
no future, Soviet-recognized East
German government tries to cut
them, and thereby touch off
fighting.

New Soviet Tests Seen

Moreover, it is quite likely that
the Soviet Union will soon an
nounce plans for another series
of nuclear tests - ito catch up
with the West" Mr.. Khrushchev
has insisted that the Russians
have tested to keep up with Amer
lean development. There is no
reason to suppose they have given
up the chase.
Even if a nuclear test ban is
possible, it. will be a long way
from a disarmament treaty. And
there seems little likelihood that
progress is possible in this field
as long as Berlin remains a prob
lem.
In coming weeks, moreover,
most observers expect the inter-
national scene to become hectic
again. There seem to be growing
suspicious that Mr.. Khrushchev
may finally sign his peace treaty
with East Germany. This would
raise tension to a new high.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-15

would preclude this. And the cost
of equipment to track satellites
would probably be more than it is
worth.
OF course, there is the disturb
ing factor of an understanding
with Soviet Russia. No one is so
naive as to believe the Russians
could not disrupt communications
if they were not a party thereto.
The State Department has a
tough road ahead, first to reach
agreements with Russia and other
nations and then with other agen-
cies to steer a course best suited
to the highest ideals of both Gov
eminent and private interests.

The Satellite Program

AT&T has a head start for
the facility, but there are others
with ideas to be tried out. Re-
Searchers are proposing systems
ranging from 5000 to $4,000 miles
high, and with anything from 8
to so satellites.
AT&T at present favors Is to
80 satellites at about 1000 miles.
The company already has put
about $45 million into its effort,
with Telstar and each succeeding
globe costing about SO million.
There are many pros and cons
for this system. the long-range
cost being one of the strongest
CONS, since each satellite is not
expected to survive more than two
or three years.
At least two other types will be
sent up to compete with Telstar.
Next off the pad will be Relay.
developed for NASA by Radio Cor
poration of America, for probable
launching next month. About the
same size as the 170-pound Tel
star. it will generate 10 watts COM
pared to the latter'S IA.
A more interesting contrast is
expected from what is known as
the synchronouS system. This is
theory would provide perfect serv-
ice from three satellites placed
$4,000 miles up where they would
match the earth's rotation and
from the ground would seemingly
stand still.
If NASA can get it into place,
the first Syncom will shove off
early next year. Its advocates
claim it would be cheaper to in
stall and maintain. But problem
No. is to get it that high and
that precisely into position.

Depreciotion Reform

Stock transactions thus had
their best stimulation since the
Black Monday of May %. The
Federal Reserve Board, withstand
ing Administration pressure for
margin reductions when the mar
ket fell, advised the delay until
a time when the trend had turned
bullish again.
A few days later the long
awaited depreciation reform gave
business yet another boost. This
provides for a speedier write-off
on the cost of equipment and ma

forthcoming from the West, 1.-The
Soviet Union will have to

chinery business must buy. The
first change since 1912 means that
equipment may now be written
off on an average of Is years
instead of from Is to 10 years.
This will mean a quick tax
savings for all types of industries,
as much as $12O million for pri-
mary metals and petroleum. AS
an example of the impact on the
economy, the steel industry has
announced expediture of $40 mil
lion of these savings for new
equipment.

Political Problems

trying hard to stay ahead of de-.
velopments. Mustered for the
study are elements of the State
Department, the Federal Com
munications Commission and the
three major commercial networks.

ture predict any corporation

as any other corporation, such as

A Total of so Shots

The United States has fired 81
shots in the Pacific. Is of them
at Christmas Island where the
testing has ended. All but one of
the 81 were atmospheric shots:
the other, underwater. The big
one over Johnston may be fol-
lowed by one or two others, per-
hapS of higher altitude.
At the Nevada testing site
there have been 43 detonations,
one for the British. Forty-one of
these have been totally under
ground, another at shallow, era
ter-creating depth and the other
slightly above ground.
How the Soviet and the United
States now stand on total mega
tons exploded is not definitely
known. Before the United States
got deeply into the present test
series. the score repeatedly stood
at ITO megatons for Russia, 125
for the United States and Britain.
On, that basis, Russia probably
still is ahead in this aspect of
the fearful game.
