. Fear Failure

The spokesman was asked
whether NASA's reluctance
might not stem also from a
fear that the test firing would
not be successful.
There's that, too," he con-
coded.
AS far as is known, this is
the first time NASA has at
tempted to pass Judgment on
the significance of news devel-
opments under its control.
President Kennedy and other
public officials have repeatedly
emphasized the "openness" of
the American civilian space
program, in contrast to the
secrecy and news management
practiced by the Soviet Union.

Judgment on the newsworthi-
ness of public events APP
parently is being brought to
bear in the civilian space pro-
gram.
A brief test firing of a nu-
clear-poWered rocket device is
scheduled for mid-November
at the Nevada proving grounds
where the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration and
{ Atomic Energy Commission
jointly operate a rocket test
facility. The device, called
Kiwi, is a non-flyable develop
ment version of the type Of
propulsion system that is ex-
pected to be the key to manned
travel in space in the 1905.
Sought COverage
At least two leading news
papers, The Washington Star
and the Christian Science
i Monitor, learned of the i'm
pending firing and asked to
have a representative present.
The Stars request has been
pending for nearly two weeks.
4 A NASA spokesman said yes
terday the requests are still
under study, but that NASA's
! inclination is to refuse them.
The spokesman conceded that
there is no military or other
security classification on the
Kiwi program which would auto
matically close it off from public
scrutiny.
1 Asked why NASA feels inclined
to exclude newsmen from the
test area, the spokesman said
the agency does not consider
the firing a significant one"

Mr.. KS Farm Mess

In six-hour Speech-every word of
which has been rebroadcast to the Rus
sian people-Nikita Khrushchev has
once again warned the all-powerful
Central Committee of the Soviet Com
munist Party that agriculture in the
USSR is gravely deficient, which it un-
doubtedly is. This is an old problem
over there, of course, but he has spoken
OF 1t now more Somberly than ever be-
fore. He has done so by emphasizing
that failure to solve it will confront the
country with great difficulties" that
could seriously" discredit and under
mine communism around the world.
The problem is certainly one of
massive significance and complexity.
Summed up, in overSimplified terms, it
consists primarily of the fact that al
though the USSR's population is grow
ing at rate of well over 3 million a
year, the country's farm output-with
special reference to grain and meat
has fallen far short of keeping up with
that growth or attaining the official
goals set by the planners of Soviet agri-
cultural production. AS matter of fact,
statistics show an actual decline since
1858 in feed crops and the raising of
livestock-a situation that has meant
continuing bleak diet with good beef
rarity, for example) for RusSia's long
suffering masses.
BY way of comparison, our own
country produces superabundance of
food, sort of embarrassment of sur
pluSeS, with relative ease. It does this,
moreover, with only about IS million
farm workers, whereas something like
100 million Russians labor in agriculture
to raise barely enough to feed the fast
multiplying people of the USSR. BY
Western standards, this amounts to an
almost incredibly shocking deficiency,
and there can be little doubt-as Pre-
mier KhruShchev himself has indicated
that it adds up to headache of the
first magnitude for the Kremlin, which
must also strive to grow foodstuffS for
export to its needy satellites.
Numerous hard realities account for
these Soviet troubles in agriculture
Climate, geographical location, vast
Semi-arid regions and lack of lush
areas like those in our own country ex-
plain the situation in large measure.
Beyond that, there are also the factors
of bureaucratic inefficiency and corrup-
ton, and there is the feeling, above all,
OF the average Russian peasant, who
deSpises collectivization and the absence
of profit-making incentives. This is the
great basic human problem involved,
and unless or until Mr. KhruShchev
finds satisfactory answer to it, he
and his successors are likely to keep on
having an explosive agricultural mess
on their hands.

In your various editorials
concerning daylight saving
time in the District and in
Virginia, it seems to me you
have made two erroneous as
sertions. When daylight saw
ing time for Washington was
under discussion several years
ago, you stated that Wash
ington would be "out of step"
with the rest of the Eastern
area if it did not adopt day.
light saving time. This was
not the case then nor is it
now. Due to Washington's
geographical location it has
always been impossible for
Washington to be either Gin
step" or "out of STEP" States
north of Washington are
mainly on daylight time and
States south of Washington
mainly or entirely on stand
ard time all the year.
You recently called on Vir-
GINA to adopt daylight time
to correspond with the rest
of the East, as you stated it.
Again this is not the case.
States south of Virginia all
observe standard time and
States north generally OBJ
serve daylight time in the
summer. How is it possible
for Virginia to ally itself with
both?
The reasonable solution
seems to me to be for areas
to adopt summer working
hours rather than change the
clock. w. F.

California CurrouseI

CALIFORNIA; reputation for I'M
orthodox politics is not being blurred
by the current goingS-on in the Golden
State.
This year, as in 1858, it is the Re-
publicans who are indulging themselves
in the risky luxury Of highly emotional
intra-party feuding involving the living
and the dead. For the record, "the dead"
is one John Birch, whose name has been
given to an extreme right-wing society,"
centering in California, that has de-
clared political war on Communists, So
cialiStS, Democrats and lot of Repub-
licanS, approximately in that order.
There are many in the cast of "the
living" but foremost among them is
former Vice President Nixon, who is
seeking the party's nomination for Gov
ernor, and Robert WEIGH, who is the
Birch Society leader. Mr. Nixon has
spoken out, and with a certain amount
Of political courage, against the Birch
Society as totalitarian and has called
upon fellow Republicans to disaSsociate
themselves from an organization "to-
tally incompatible with the principles
of the Republican Party" In show
down on this issue during the past week
end, the California Republican Assem-
bly, in effect split its ticket" It in
dorSed Mr.. Nixon by the rather narrow
margin Of 263 to 176 and approved a
resolution condemning Mr.. WEIGH, but
deleted from the announcement the de-
nunciation of the Birch Society and the
suggestion that good Republicans should
turn in their society membership cards.
Senator Kuchel, who stands with Mr..
Nixon on the subject of the Birchites,
likewise won divided Endorsement in
his bid for denomination Debate was
loud and bitter, and the G. o. p rivals
of Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Kuchel indicated
they are not bowling out anyway. Party
primaries will be held on June 5, and
much more will be heard about Mr.
WEIGH and John Birch before that date.
Repeatedly, the odds still favor Mr..
Nixon and Mr.. Kuchel for the party
nominations but that is only part of the
story. Governor Pat Brown, who was
helped by another Republican feud in
1888, will head the States Democratic
ticket again this fall It is virtual Ger
tainty that the Democratic Party ma
tionally will give him any help it can,
with perhaps hand also to Dem
ocratic State Senator Richard Richards,
who is scheduled to oppose Mr. Kuchel.
Still in the wings is another Republican
foe of Mr.. Nixon, former Governor
Goodwin Knight, who is convalescing
from long illness but still may throw
few roadblocks in the way of the for
mer Vice President.
California, second largest State in
the Union, is big prize politically. The
Democrats would like: % To hold it and
(2) to deal one more, and perhaps the
last needed, defeat to Mr.. Nixon. At this
point, the Golden State Republicans are
not nearly so unanimous about their
detectives.

De GouIIe Realistic on Geneva
By CROSBY S. NO
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

follow. Unless real progress
can be made in this field
indeed, unless Mr.. Gromyko
comes to Geneva prepared to
accept Mr.. Kennedy's offer of
a test ban treaty before the
resumption of American tests
next month"; is almost in
conceivable that another
basis for a summit meeting
can be found.
Denounced by Reds
What makes the optimism
of Washington and London
more puzzling is that no one
apparently expects Gromyko
to do any such thing. The re-
action of Premier Khrushchev
and the Russian press to Ken
nedy's offer has been to shout
fraud and blackmail. The
Russian note accepting the
Anglo-American invitation to
Geneva was heavily larded
with denunciation of the test
ban proposals.
In fact, the most that is
b seriously expected from Mr..
Gromyko at Geneva is an eff
fort to delay the new series Of
American tests by temporiz-
ing on the question of treaty.
If the Russians reply to the
Western proposals with rea-
sonably sound suggestions of
their own or even merely
ask for more time to think
them over, the United States
may find itself in an aWk-
ward spot. Quite certainly I'M
der these circumstances the
British can be expected to
push for postponement of the
test series. And already
American officials are serv-
ing notice that no delays will
be granted.
The prospect, therefore, is
that along about the middle
of May, the American tests
will be in full swing and that
the Communist camp will be
making the maximum amount
of propaganda. hay out of
the situation. It would be
hard to imagine a less prom
Using time for a summit meet
ing with Mr.. Khrushchev on
disarmament or any other
subject. And to encourage
the hope of such a top-level
meeting at this stage seems,
to say the least, highly I'M
realistic.

More Investigators

The Commissioners should expect
mo resistance from Capitol Hill to their
request for additional investigators to
sSpeed up the probe of District relief
ErecipientS Such an expansion is fully
Justified by the initial results. The ad-
1ditional cost, furthermore, is relatively
snlinor, and the necessary money fortu-
nately is available from unexpected saw
ingS which have accrued since the tight
.eping-up campaign began.
4 AS Commissioner Tobriner says, the
Intensive spot-check of welfare recipi-
tents is taking long time, and should be
stepped up. But these investigations
ALSO require tedious, painstaking effort,
and there will be no gain for anyone if
they are unduly rushed The need is
Efor results which are unqualifiedly OBJ
elective, upon which specific policy deci-
4SionS can be made about the future con-
Sddct OF the welfare program.
+ Possibly, as Mr. Tobriner suggests,
a trained squad of investigators might
sbe borrowed" from some other agency
of Government, perhaps from the Gen.
3eral Accounting Office, to assist the We'll
flare Department on temporary basis.
: But it seems clear to us that the
sextent of chiseling and welfare ineligi-
sbility disclosed during the last few
smonths suggests the need for a sub
.stantially increased permanent staff.
The current special investigation" will
provide a picture of only about S per
cent of the total District welfare cases.
If the trend of the first results con-
stinues, surely it will be desirable to con-
tinue on broader basis. At any rate,
the question of permanent and sub
2stantial addition to the investigative
force of the Welfare Department should
be considered this year by the appropria-
.tions subcommittee of the House and
Senate.

His Good Name Upheld

~ After the most intensive kind of
investigation, including that conducted
by special board of inquiry headed by
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman, the Central
Intelligence Agency now has fully
cleared Francis Gary Powers. For
some time after the downing of his
U-2 plane in Russia and his subsequent
trial and imprisonment there, doubts
as to his courage and loyalty were felt
IN many quarters, but no such doubts
exist today. He has received clean
bill OF health in all particulars as
brave man who has lived up to his
obligations as an American and to the
terms of his contract as a pilot for
the CHA.
Certainly the whole country has
reason to be gratified by these findings
sand to join in the praise just accorded
MIR. Powers by the Senate Armed Ser
svices Committee. However, although
sthere are no longer any doubts as to
the honorableneSS of his role in the
U-2 incident of May l, 1860, what re-
fmainS unclear is what caused the down.
Ting of his plane. At the time, Nikita
GKhrushchev spoke of a remarkable"
weapon, but the CHA, in the summary
SDf its investigation (some of the facts
known to it continue secret Gin the
national interest"), throws no light on
the question. All that is revealed is that
sMr. Powers said that he felt and heard
something give the U-2 kind of push,
shat there was "a dull noise unlike the
lEharp sound of high explosive" and
Chat there was IAN orange or reddish
glare which seemed to persist"
= These words suggest that maybe
the Soviet Premier was not making an
Fempty boast But the CHA, whatever it
smay know about the matter, is keeping
smum, and so this much of the Powers
sStory remains mystery.
