 English that came through clear fly, Nina Khrushchev appealed in
 a special broadcast to American

Fish and Game Bill Passes the House 9 to I5 Today

JUNEAU R A bill which would make the State Board of Fish and Game the adninistra- tive and fiscal head of the De- partment of Fish and Game pass ed the House, 25-15, today and was sent along to the Senate.
 It was the second so-called Section 26 measures to receive the approval of the lower cham Der within the past two weeks.
 A similar measure which would give the State Board of Educa- tion full powers over the Educa- ton Department, including the power to hire and fire the Con- missioner, was approved by the House Feb. ' by a vote of 27-13. The education measure is under consideration by the Senate Health, Welfare and Education Committee. The Senate State Af- fairs Committee recommended that 1t ssdo not pass"
 The argument on the fish and game bill today followed pretty much the same course in vote, and in debate.
 Seven Democrats joined the IS Republican minority bloc in passing the measure.
 Rep. Jay Hammond who was one of the authors Of the original measure before it was rewritten by the Judiciary Committee, led the floor fight for it's passage.
 think the most important point is that such board would tend to remove the Commissioner from political patronage, so that top notch professional Com missioner could have some as surarlce of continued employ ment."
 Rep. Frank Chapdos objected.
 ssThis measure appears to be a continuation of a move to tear down the present form of gov ernment.
 q say if you're going to change over to the old form of adminis- tration with boards at the head of state departments change them all," Chapados said.
 Rep. Forbes Baker said that he, and many other Republicans, campaigned on the issue of Section 26 boards.
 "I believe that the increase in minority party strength in this House after the last election is indicative that most of the people want this type of board,' Baker said.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT.
-INTERPRET REPORT-
McNomoro's New Policy
Seeks to Curb Brinksmen

Russia to multiply her nuclear
weapons. This may be true. The
Russians can not restore the
military balance without accel-
lerating the expensive arms
race. but the Kremlin could
insure the safety of the Soviet
block simply by refraining
from provoking the United
States.
8. There are no winners"
in a nuclear war. so this policy
is bankrupt. The President has
said there are no winners, but
by that he meant that the
casualties and damage to the
social fabric on both sides
would be so great that q war
could be nothing but a catas-
trophe.
Reverse Attitude Taken
He is convinced also, how
ever, that a Soviet take-over
in Europe would be a worse
catastrophe in the long run.
1t would result not only in the
loss of the worlds freedom but
probably the loss also of even
more American lives in a final
war Of desperation.
4. The United States cannot,
in fact, destroy Soviet forces.
The answer is that this policy
would not have been adopted
If the Administration were not
confident that it could find
enemy missiles and bombers
and destroy them.
S. Mr.. Mcnamara has enun-
ciated a first strike" policy.
The Kremlin has said this, but
the Administration denies it.
America will not strike unless
the enemy has started the war
by Selling Berlin, invading
Europe or some other area
vital to American security, or
by bombing the United States.
Finally. critics have said that
the Administration cannot an
nounce the new policy without
explaining it further.
The explanations will come.
but exactly what will be said
next has not been decided.
Quick Decision Urged
Two extensions Of the policy
have been suggested for future
speeches. One would be to
point out to the Russians that
even though any aggression
that could result in nuclear
war is irrational, one could
start by accident. Therefore,
both sides should be prepared
to end a nuclear war immedi-
ately after 1t started.
They should be ready to
stop and negotiate before more
than a handful of weapons
had been fired.
Also. it has been suggested
that Mr.. Mcnamara or the
President declare solem nly
that, this country will never
be the first to kill innocent
civilians deliberately"
This is the effect Of the open
cities policy but the declaration
would improve Americas moral
position-and put the Kremlin
on the spot.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-16

Americas margin, the Ad-
ministration m essage con-
tinued, gives this country more
confidence than before that
if necessary it can fight a nu-
clear war, prevail and survive.
The margin also shows the
Russians that they cannot sur
vive such a war.
Thus, the United States be-
comes more willing to defend
its vital interests with all
weapons neceSSary-including
long-range missiles and bonn
bers-and the Russians should
become less willing to provoke
a war that could balloon into
a nuclear exchange. DeterrentS
should be more effective.
The message hit hard at the
Soviet threats over Berlin, for
the American promise to fight
for the city becomes more be-
lievable.
But both sides recognize that
a nuclear war might be set off
by an accident or a miscalcula-
ton.
If this should happen, the
new American policy puts the
Soviets in a box.
If the Kremlin aimed its
weapons at American striking
forces, rather than cities. it
would find it has two few mis-
siles and bombers to cripple
the Strategic Air Command and
no way to find our PolariS
submarine missiles. Surviving
American forces could hit back.
diSarm the Soviet Union and
force a settlement.
If the Kremlin decided to hit
American cities, it would know
that America has enough weap-
onS left to level the Red cities
and destroy the remain Red
weapons to boot.
This country could lose 100
million lives, but that would be
cold comfort to the Russians.
Thus, the Kremlin has an
overwhelming incentive to avoid
pushing a crisis far enough to
risk nuclear war, and, if the
war should start, it has an in
centive to spare cities.
Furthermore, the policy en-
phasises the American super
iority in weapons. Mr.. Krush-
chev presumably knows that
only a country with superior
forces could plan to ride out
a first strike and still have
enough power to destroy the
enemy.
Several objections have been
raised to this new policy.
/. The Russians won't play
the game. The answer is that
this is no game. The Admins
tration is merely pointing out
where the Russian self-inter-
eSts lie and pointing out that
we are convinced that they are
at a disadvantage.
Public soviet reaction to the
speech-pleas for disarmament
and threats of total warfare
less important than the Krem-
Inns study of the logic of the
American position and her nu-
clear strength.

Star Staff Writer

SNeA ONoAA "AANCA
Secretary Of Defense Nc
Namara will not elaborate on
the controversial open cities
nuclear war policy announced
at Ann Arbor recently, but it
can be said authoritatively
that its purpose was to dam
pen Soviet craftsmanship rather
than to write rules for gentle
manly war.
1t was meant to tell the Rus
slams that they dare not risk
provoking the United States
into any fight that could grow
into nuclear war, because no
matter how the war starts, Rus
STA cannot prevail
The speech, made last month
at the University of Michigan,
actually was one of a series by
top Pentagon officials designed
to tell the world, but principal
ly the Kremlin, about American
forces and defense policies.
There will be more such
speeches.
Warned Before
The first was made last fall
by Deputy Secretary of Defense
Roswell Gilpatric who told the
Russians, for the first time,
that this country has more
than 10000 nuclear weapons.
This, like the subsequent top
level defense policy speeches,
was approved by the President
and Secretary of State.
In speeches in February and
last month. Mr.. Mcnamara
specified what the Unite d
States could do with these
weapons. His message in Febru-
airy was that even in the worst
circumstances of nuclear war
a surprise Russian attack on
this country-we have enough
weapons to absorb that blow
and retaliate by destroying the
remaining Soviet forces and
the Russian cities.
Last month he re-empha-
sized the great American mar
gin Of strength and offered
the Soviets a new and more
criticized incentive" to limit
the loss Of lives during a war.
In effect he said: we will
spare your cities, hit only your
armed forces, provided you do
not deliberately hit our cities.
Called Dreamer"
The reaction in the Amer
lean and foreign press has
been, for the most part, that
Mr.. Mcnamara is an imprac-
tical dreamer If he thinks the
Russians can be induced to
follow humanitarian rules.
The Administration believes
that the critics simply failed
to see the logic of an OPEN
cities policy and the deterrent
threat implied by it.
The series of speeches is
designed to help give the Rus
slams an accurate picture Of
American strength and pur-
poses and to show that this
administration assesses the in
ferior Soviet strength accu-
rately.
