1t may seem unusual for a
news correspondent to sug-
gest that any hot news ever
should be suppressed, but the
best interests Of the coun-
try are served when the
Government refrains from
publicly telling a potential
enemy that it is afraid Of
him.
A glazing example Of news
that never should have been
published is the testimony OF
Edwin M. Martin, assistant
Secretary Of State for Inter-
American Affairs, who told a
House Foreign Affairs Sub
committee that the United
States discontinued Its block
ade Of Cuba last autumn for
fear that 1t might cause
Russia TO go to war. Mr..
Martin, who is accompanying
President Kennedy this week
on his trip to Central Amer
lea, is high up In the coun-
ellis Of the Government. His
whole testimony was given in
secret during the last four
weeks, and 1t was released on
March ID. Several sections
were deleted for security rea-
sons, but 1t is a mystery why
the White House or the State
Department let the following
statement by Mr.. Martin be
made public for Russian eyes
to read:
"As far as taking vigorous
action and continuing it, last
fall when we had political
support. which we certainly
had, as you indicated, it was
our judgment at the time,
and it was a matter which
was considered and discussed
very carefully, that we had
this support on the part Of
the Europeans and all of
Latin America for the pur-
pose Of removing the often
sive weapons from Cuba
under Soviet control.
IF we had continued the
quarantine to the point of
bringing down the regime
within Cuba, which is what
would have been necessary to
accomplish anything signifi-
cant further, then we would
have lost some Of this sup
port-a considerable amount
Of it-and more Importantly,
we would have raised the
conformation with the Soviets
to q level which might well
have become intolerable for
them, not only from the
standpoint Of Soviet prestige

and position, but also of the
Soviet position vis-a-vis the
Chinese Communists, which
keeps them under certain
kinds of pressure to be at
least as vigorous In the de-
tense Of Communist regimes
as they we're. The risk of nu-
clear war would have been
accelerated very greatly II
we had continued the quar-
antine to this final purpose.
II so happens that Secre-
tary Of State Rusk only q few
days ago made an excellent
statement describing the
firmness of American policy
In relation to any future
build-up by the Soviets in
Cuba or their attempts to
subvert Latin-American
countries by force OF arms
or otherwise, but the full eff
feet of Mr.. Rusk's utterance
has been diluted now by the
publication of the testimony
given by Assistant Secretary
Martin. To say that the risk
of nuclear war would have
been accelerated very
greatly" If the United States
had continued its blockade of
Cuba last autumn is but an
other way Of saying that the
United States gave UP its
Quarantine" without actu-
ally achieving its full objec-
tives, because the American
Government was, in effect,
afraid that 1t might displease
or offend the SovietS. No
weight seems to have been
given to the American side
Of the case and the right Of
this country to be offended
or aggravated by a palpable
act of aggression by the So
viets just 80 miles away from
our shores.
Unfortunately, moreover,
this delicate situation per-
sists today because the
United States did not insist
upon on-site inspection and
hence has not been able to
verify absolutely whether all
the weapons capable Of Of
fensive use were withdrawn.
A debate is going on as to
how many Soviet troops are
actually being pulled out Of
Cuba, and yet 1t is five
months now since the United
States learned positively that
an offensive military base
had been set UP by the Soviets
in Cuba.

MOUNT PALOMAR, Calf.
The road climbs out Of the
Pala Valley and begins its
narrow, twisting course up
the mountainside. Palm
trees give way to lush avo-
cado orchards and then to
pine trees. The air cools
quickly and the wind rises.
At $500 feet you cross a

You may remember some
thing of its story-how back
in 1884 the Corning Glass
people took a contract with
Cal-Tech to try to pour the
greatest hunk Of precision
glass in the world, how the
first try failed when the heat
Of the 20 tons Of molten glass
melted the bolts in the mold.
The whole world watched as
the second pour was made.
1t was cooled a few degrees
a day for 10 months and
then a special railroad train
inched it across the con-
tinent at IL miles an hour,
doubling back and fourth
to find clearances big enough
for the package.
On Easter morning, 1886,
the mirror got to Pasadena.
For liz years, through the
Munich pact and Dunkerque,
Pearl Harbor and WI day,
the delicate tools of patient
science slowly polished 5k
tons off the big glass. For
