Messing one would think it
would be a part of our daily
lives.
Unfortunately this isn't always
the case - because if the true
spirit of Christmas prevailed the
year round the world over, life
would indeed be wonderful and
blessed for all of the people of
every nation.
Put Christ back in Christmas"
has come to be a popular slogan
within the past few years-as
an answer to the commercializa-

Certainly this is an individual
problem = and each of us. can
do that in our lives if we but
will.
Perhaps Christmas cards are
a bore to some of our readers
but certainly not to us It is
nice to be remembered thus.
One of the incest things about
the holiday season is getting
cards from friends and relatives
from all over for the most
part the only time of the year
that we hear from them. But it
is still good to know they are
still alive and well, and happy.
It is always good to learn Of adj
vancement of their children
and so on.
Most Of all it is nice to know
you still remember us with
esteem. One never has too many
friends.
We would like to share with
our readers and friends a truly
beautiful poem by Eun;ce Tiet-
jjns written long ago which we
have printed in this column be-
fore.
The poem is called "Old
friendship and we quote:
Old Friendship
Beautiful and rich
is an old friendship,
Grateful to the touch
as ancient ivory,
Smooth as aged wine
or sheen of tapestry
Who're light has fingered,
intimate and long.
Full Of tears and warm

Or any deed at all-save
that friend sholl be
Alive and breathing

Some Gains

An American space capsule
crash landed on the moon
Thursday, but our eighth at
tempt at a lunar-pr0be failed
because Of a malfunctien in the
radio -telemetry system. I
The Saturn, the worlds larg-
est rocket, was fired success
fully for the second time on
Wednesday from a pad at Cape
Canaveral.
BY this time, the American pub
lie has become somewhat Injured
to the fact that success in the
highly complex space and missile
development business is a some
time thing.
But while it is desirable not
to have ones hopes and fears at
tached to a yo-yo string, when a
failure of mission must be an
nounced, the disappointment can
not be denied. This is particularly
so when the Nation is desperately
trying to catch up-and surpass- -
a mighty competitor like the So
Wet Union.
Last week there was disappoint-
ment, though far from the total
kind, over our latest effort at an
ambitious moon probe.
After a successful launch Mon
day afternoon by an Atlas
Agena B rocket, which got the
Ranger-4 craft roaring on its way
to the moon to take closeup tele-
vision photos, measure moon
quakeS and take temperatures
near the lunar surface, some
thing went wrong. It became clear
quickly that the Rangers principal
mission would fail.

Foreign Distrust

Possibly, the espionage" charge
results from traditional Russian
distruSt of foreigners, but most
likely, the Russians, on the verge
of tests themselves, do not want
a treaty at this time.
There are some long-range op-
timists who believe that after
both sides have gone through their
series of tests, a nuclear test ban
treaty will be possible. This line
of argument holds that both sides
by then will have no further need
of tests-that all will be known
about nuclear weapons by then.
If this is true, some start could
be made on the vexing question
of general disarmament. All ex-
perts believe that a nuclear test
bans main contribution to world
peace would be the realization that
East and West could agree on some
sort of treaty relating to their
own security.

Rights:
Friendly Talk

The Senate on wednesday
opened debate on a iteracy-
test bill and a long Southern
filibuster is seen.
There was surprise in the Senate
last week when Majority Leader
Mansfield decided to start the
showdown now on the literacy-
test bill the administration wants
as a weapon to ease the way for
more NegoeS to vote in the South
in Federal elections.
The bill is stuck in the Judiciary
Committee and so Mr.. Mansfield
attached a similar one as a rider
to a private relief measure.
His action means that the Sem
ate will be tied up for the duration
of the debate. No committees will
be permitted to meet during this
time. Work on major bills has.
therefore, come to a standstill.
Adjournment may be set back
until mid-September even though
it is an election year.
The Majority Leader outlined
his strategy-a novel one-after
warning the Senate that II IL
blocks the channels on civil rights,
the executive branch and the
courts would take over the respon-
sibllity.
His plan calls for normal ses-
sions five days a week. There
will be no round-the-clock talka-
thons; no beds in the chamber,
no Senators turned zombies. This
filibuster will be a comfortable
one for all.

Anti-MissiIe

The United States fears a So
Wet breakthrough on the So-called
anti-miSsile. The Russians are
believed to fear the United States
superiority in a variety of nuclear
weapons.
In coming weeks, the United
States is expected to press for
adoption of a test ban treaty that
will allow a small number of in
ternational inspections. The
United States feels no treaty is
workable if either side suspects
the other of cheating.
Thus, if detection devices out
side the Soviet Union Cor the
United States record a ground or
sea disturbance on Soviet Cor
Americana territory, inspection
must be made to determine If the
blast was a nuclear one, or If it
was simply an earthquake.
The Russians inevitable respond
that such inspections would be a
ruse for espionage" This is not
believed in the West, or in many
neutral countries. The terms of
the Anglo-American propose
sharply prohibit inspectors from
doing anything but their assigned
task, and provide that Soviet Of
ficials should accompany them on
their INSPECTIONS.

The FOREIGN THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
In imposed s at Geneva Gem Testing. with Deep Regret
THE FOREIGN SCENE

The Soviet Union sharply re-
buked the United States for its
resumption of atmospheric nu-
clear tests last week, but did
not carry out its threat to boy
colt further Geneva talks.
For the next two months, Ameri-
can officials will have the hard
task of talking about a nuclear
test ban while 10000 other Ameri-
cans continue their atomic expert
ments in the Pacific.
Nowhere will this job be more
trying than in Geneva where II
nations, under United Nations au-
spices, are supposed to search for
a workable disarmament treaty
and a collateral nuclear test ban.
Arthur H. Dean, the top United
States delegate in Geneva, had to
break the news officially on
Thursday that his country had
started the new series with the
utmost regret and the deepest re-
luctance."
In his statement, Mr.. Dean en-
phasized the American position
unchanged for months: The
United States decided to test only
for security reasons, and only
after the Soviet Union refused to
sign an acceptable controlle d
treaty.

whether the "bears" had finally
routed the bulls"
In another government t-indus-
try development, the railroads on
Thursday urged the President to
use his power to bar inflationary
wage and fringe benefit increases
for 100000 non-operati tional
workers.
The plea came a week before q
Presidential Emergency Board was
to make its recommendations on
a contract settlement to Mr.. Ken
nedy. The Board was named after
negotiations between the roads
and IL unions had begged down.
The railroads obviously were
calling upon the President to ex-
hibit just as much concern over
a possible inflationary wage or
benefits increase as he showed in
forcing the rollback Of an at
tempted steel price rise on April
l3. But their spokesman did not
mention this directly.
A union official then quickly
countered that the roads were
"brazenly" attempting to intimi-
date the presidential board while
it considered its recommendations.

Cold War;:
Mild Terms

Secretary of State Rusk last
week met for the third time with
Soviet Ambassador DObrynin to
discuss the Berlin situation.
In sharp contrast to the angry
deadlock over nuclear testing, the
United States and the Sovie t
Union last week spoke in the mild
est terms about their deadlock
over Berlin.
Premier Khrushchev said he saw
"glimmers of hope for agree
ment;" Foreign Minister Gromyko
said there was a "desire for re-

Something SoIvoged

A small timer, an electronic
clocklike device which was to pace
the spacecraft's control computer,
developed a malfunction. Why it
failed may never be known.
The "brainless" capsule was on
a true course. however, and some
thing was salvaged out of the
experiment. Demonstrating a guild
ance system, improved since the
Ranger 3 went awry last January
and missed the moon by 22,862
miles, its successor slammed into
the far side of our nearest heav-
emily neighbor early Thursday
morning.
1t was the first time the United
States had accomplished the feat.
The Russians had done it two
and half years ago with their

Business:
Concern

A Federal Grand Jury on
Thursday indicted U. S. Steel
and Bethlehem Steel on price,
fixing charges. The action,
which was not related to the
recent attempt to raise prices,
depressed the stock market.
There is little doubt that the
Presidents massive assault on the
steel industry for its attempt to
raise prices caused wide concern
and uncertainty in the business
world.
Despite Mr.. Kennedy's assur-
ance that he "ain't mad at no
body" what industry and inves-
tors apparently are seeking is
action to buttress his conciliatory
words. This may come soon, ac-
cording to some reports. in the
form Of a plan to permit in
creased depreciation allowances
for steel companies.
But last week a new shock was
suffered by the Nations No. l
and No. 2 steel producers when
a Federal grand jury indicted
them on charges of conspiring to
fix prices and rig bids on sales
of forgings to the Army, Navy
and other buyers.
Just the day before the grand
jury action, U. S. Steel reported
its first-quarter profits at S55.8
million and announced it would
pay its regular dividend. While
higher than the comparable
period in the recession of early
1861. the profit fell far short of
the SIP million for the first quar-
ter of 1860.
Nevertheless. the Big Steel re-
port sparked a rise in the stock
market early on Thursday. This
was encouraging because the Mar
ket had been skidding for days.
Then came the news of the in
dictmentS. The Market plunged
to its lowest level since May, 1861,
losing $5 billion in paper values.
U. S. Steel closed at its lowest
point in four years. One broker
observed:
In today's market, with con-
fidence at minimum. you could
yell Fire." and it would have
the same effect"
Stocks continued their tumble
on Friday on an increased volume
OF trading and observers wondered
Evening star., 1962-04-29
Zorin Threat

Mr.. zorin, however, did not
walk out of the talks. Two weeks
ago, he said that if the United
States held its tests, he might
boycott further sessions. Appar-
emily, Moscow feels that boy
colt, in the face of neutral pleas
for continued talks, would reduce
whatever propaganda advantage it
has at this time.
1t also is likely that with the
Berlin discussions heading toward
a crucial stage, Mr.. Khrushchev
does not want to increase inter-
national tensions now. Despite
Mr.. Zorin'S invective, most Soviet
statements in recent weeks have
been mild, and Western observers
noted that Mr.. Zorin's statements
could have been worse.
However, with more than two
months of American tests sched-
uled, the Russians can stage a
walkout anytime they want to-.
Evening star., 1962-04-29
UNDERSTANDING

Despite the worldwide regret,
shared by the United States and
its allies, that it has become
necessary for us to resume at
mospheric testing, Washington
was convinced that most peoples,
including the neutrals, understood
why.
There was a feeling on the part
of some American observers that
even the Russians understood be-
cause their protests had a pro
forma" ring to them and they did
not walk out of the Geneva talks.
AS for the other anti-teSt fac
tionS, some were sincere pacifists;
others were Communicated. In a
third category were the Japanese,
the only people who have ever
suffered the devastation of a nu-
clear bomb.
What knowledge, precisely, does
the United States hope to acquire
by reason of the Pacific tests?
Again, Mr.. Kennedy provided the
answer in his March statement.
We want to prove" warheads
on existing weapons, like the sub
marine based Polaris missile.
Evening star., 1962-04-29
The Official Word

Not surprisingly, it became "op-
erationally feasible" the very next
day. Again, a laconic announce
ment from the Acc, As words COW
ering the central facts and no de-
tails:
"A nuclear test detonation took
place at about 10:45 am. EST to-
day in the vicinity Of Christmas
Island. The detonation was in the
intermediate yield range between
20 kilotonS, about the size Of the
Hiroshima and Nagasah atomic
bombs, and l megatom. The test
was the first detonation in Oper-
alton Dominic, now under way in
the Pacific"
An almost identical statement
was made two days later, on FRI
day, when the second shot was
fired.
Thus, eight months after the
Soviet's 1861 series started and
three and a half years after we
established self imposed mora
torium, the United States exploded
another nuclear weapon in the
air.
Why did we do it?
Mr.. Kennedy's statement of
March 2, in which he declared our
intention to resume testing in late
April unless the Soviet Union,
meanwhile. agreed to an effective
treaty. contained the answer.
The Russians, the President ex-
planned, had reflected in their ex-
tensive series highly sophisticated
technology, the trial of novel de-
signs, and some substantial gains
in weaponry."
He then observed that "nuclear
weapons technology is still a con-
stantly changing field" the impli-
cation being that significant ad-
vances and "breakthroughs" were
possible.
Evening star., 1962-04-29
To Seek CIoture

After perhaps two weeks Of de-
bate, at which time Senator
Mansfield expects the issues to
have been laid bare, he will seek
a cloture vote-an attempt to shut
off further debate and force
vote.
Cloture takes two-thirds of
those Senators present and voting.
If all 100 are present. 81 would
have to vote affirmatively to limit
debate. Observers on both the
Democratic and Republican sides
see little chance at this point for
such vote
If. however, the vote for cloture
is fairly close. Senator Mansfield
will continue the debate and call
for a second cloture vote later
on. If the first attempt IS voted
down decisively, he will drop the
bill for this session.
The measure would provide that
for purposes of voting in Federal
elections, sixth-grade education
shall be accepted in every State
as a proof of literacy. 1t is aimed
at those Southern States which,
according to the administration,
use literacy tests as device to
keep Negroes from voting.
Evening star., 1962-04-29
To Keep Trying

Despite the tests, Mr.. Dean
promised the delegates the United
States will continue to seek an
agreement in Geneva that will
give all countries a true assur-
ance that nuclear tests, in all en-
vironments, have in fact ended"
Mr.. Deans obligatory statement
was accepted calmly by the eight
nation neutral bloc which has a
fatalistic view about testing. The
neutrals feel as long as EaSt-West
tensions remain, testing is an in
evitable, if reprehensible part of
the atmosphere.
Most neutrals have been i'm
pressed by the Anglo-American ef-
forts to get a treaty with the Rus
slams, and most believe the tests
were forced on the United States
by last falls Russian blasts.
At that time, the neutrals did
not attack the Soviet Union, much
to the United States disappoint-
ment. And last week, they were
consistent. They did not attack
the United States, much to the
Soviet Unions Illustration.
Valerian A. Zorin, the top Rus
sian delegate, responded to the
tests as expected. He said they
would push the world still closer
to the abyss of atomic war" He
charged the United States with a
policy of tanning military hys-
terra and creating the atmosphere
for whipping up the arms race"
Evening star., 1962-04-29
Soviet Gains

Mr.. Kennedy suggested that the
Russians gains did not close the
gap between themselves and the
United States, but that, after di-
gesting the newly acquired knowl-
edge, they could launch another
series which could put them
abreast or even ahead of us in
certain areas.
One worry involved an anti
missile missile, something neither
country had yet developed but a
weapon which might allow the first
to achieve it to tip the balance
of terror" in its favor.
The Presidents decision, there
fore, was tied to military security
considerations. We had to con-
duct the tests for the continued
protection and defense of the
United States and the free world.
1t was an agonizing decision
for Mr.. Kennedy, who had de-
clared in January that the great
est disappointment of his first
year in the White House was that
no treaty banning nuclear tests
had been worked out with the
Soviet Union.
Republicans and leading men,
bers of his own Democratic Party
III Congress had urged him even
before the Russians broke the
observation-disclosures of the sus-
picion they were cheating in Sc
cret-to resume the tests.
Mr.. Kennedy turned aside these
pressures. although last November
he directed that preparations for
such tests he started. He waited
until the scientific evidence of So
Wet advances made it clear that
we really had no other alterna-
tive in the absence of foolproof
treaty.
Evening star., 1962-04-29

The United States resumed
nuclear testing in the atmOS-
phere on Wednesday, with an
air burst near Christmas Island
in the Pacific. The Soviet de-
nOunced the move; neutralS pro-
tested, peace marchers" dem
OnStrated.
The repeated refusals of the So
Wet Union to agree to even the
minimum inspection demands of
the United States and Britain for
a test-ban treaty made the move
inevitable.
Last summer and fall the Rus
slams had broken the moratorium
and exploded more than 40 nu-
clear weapons or devices in the
atmosphere. Then they brazenly
demanded a treaty based on what
Secretary of State Rusk calls
blind trust"
Still, when the time set by
President Kennedy came, it was
with great reluctance ana deep
regret that the United States re-
entered the atomic arms race. The
announcement by the Acc on
Tuesday was brief and to the
point:
The Atomic Energy Commis-
sion announced today that Presi-
dent Kennedy has authorized the
commission and the Department
of Defense to proceed with series
of nuclear weapons tests in the
atmosphere over the Pacific. The
tests, to be conducted by Joint
Task Force 8, under the command
of Mai. Gen. A. D. Starbird, USA,
will begin as soon as is opera
tionally feasible"

information about the moon have
been temporarily set back, the de-
velopment of the means to get a
man there during this decade
went forward.
On Wednesday, the 20-stories
tall Saturn rocket, a cluster of
eight engines developing l.3 mil
lion pounds of thrust, was fired
in what was officially described
as a 100 per cent" success.
When upper stages are devel-
oped for the Saturn. by 1864, it
will be able to boost three-man
Apollo capsules on earth orbit
flights of up to two weeks.
