A hundred years ago our
Nation suffered a civil war,

CURED when the interna-
tional skies were not over
cast. We could concentrate
entirely on that crisis. But
today, the racial conflict,
which nobody expected to be-
come violent, is causing crit
icism all over the world, and
could become very serious.
Moreover, 1t is the result of
the fundamental policies of
the Kennedy administration,
which cannot 60 back on the
commitments made to the
colored American minority.
Nobody in the administra-
ton can think in terms of
curtailing the lavish expendi-
ture it has promised to the
newly created nations. 1t is
part and parcel of the New
Frontier political philosophy.
President Kennedy and his
inexperienced political and fl
nancial advisers seem to have
decided to at least alleviate
Americas predicament, not
by trimming the sails in the
storm which has been raging
since 1948, but by accepting
the olive branch from Pre-
mier Khrushchev's right
hand without looking to see
if the other hand holds a
dagger. The limited nuclear
treaty inevitably will be fol-
lowed by a nonaggression
pact which will permit the
administration to withdraw
a substantial number of
American forces from Europe
which are, only partially, re-
sponsible for the dollar out
flow.

On balance Mr.. Rusk made
a wiser. though less spec
tacular, defense of the treaty
than did Mr.. Mcnamara.
The Secretary of State was
content to argue that the
treaty, with all is risks, de-
serves a fair chance because
it has advantages for both
sides. The Secretary of De-

that there are very few risks
in the new arrangement be-
cause America is so much
stronger than Russia. In the
rough disappointments Of
world affairs it will not be
altogether surprising if Mr..
Rusk's caution wears better
than Mr.. McNamara's cock

But Senator Hicken-

for answer. There can be no
doubt that millions of
Americans would be ready

MAX FRIEDMAN

Senator Hic kenlooper,
chairman Of the Republican
Policy Committee and senior
Republican on the Foreign
Relations Committee, has
asked a question about the
test-ban treaty which de-
serves a better answer than
1t has yet received.
He wants to know whether
it would not have been much
wiser to break the back of
Russia by continuing the
arms race instead of giving
her a rest from this COMPETE
ton. He asked: who gets
what out of this treaty? The
Russians, don't they get re-
lieved here from those fur
ther tremendous expenditures
and charges on their econ
omy, while we abandon that
particular advantage even
though it is tremendously ex-
pensive in this cold WARP" No
more probing question can be
asked.
Even before this question
was put, Secretary of State
Rusk had presented a grim
forecast Of what an unre-
stricted arms race would
mean. He spoke of mount
ing defense budgets that go
beyond anything now con-
templated." In reply to the
Senator, he warned that no
one would enjoy this particu-
lar kind Of competition with
Russia - a point with which
Senator Hickenlooper at once
agreed. Then Mr.. Rusk point
ed to the many needs of the
American people which could
be met more easily if the huge
defense budget did not have
to be continued indefinitely.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
is belived to be under domestic
as well as foreign pressures to
reach new agreements with the
United States and its allies for
easing tensions and reducing
the dangers of war.
This belief evidently under
lies the cautious optimism in
dicated by Secretary of State
Dean Rusk at his new confer
ence yesterday that further
East-West accords, following up
the nuclear test ban success,
may be possible.
Mr.. Rusk cited particularly
the possibility of working out
a system for stationing OBJ
servers in key transportation
centers of the great powers to
guard against the danger of
surprise attack.
At the same time he warned
that the hopeful situation
could be turned upside down
"by tomorrow morning" and
added: I'VE just have to keep
working at it to see what can
can happen.
Mr.. Rusk was in Russia a
week ago and held policy talks
with Mr.. Khrushchev and with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrea
A. Gromyko.
To Meet Next Month
He is scheduled to meet Mr..
Gromyko in New York next
month for further discussions
on the next round OF United
States-Soviet negotiations to
reduce tensions.
Meanwhile, he is directing
consultations with the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
allies on a possible nonaggres-
sion pact with Soviet block
countries and on related issues.
Speaking against the back
ground Of his exploratory talks
in Russia, Mr.. Rusk said he
believes the Soviet Union "has
some real interest in this test
ban treaty and in exploring
these matters tissues of pos
sible future agreemenD fur

II think the argument be-
tween Moscow and Peiping

WELLSTON, Okla, Aug. II
(AP). - Seven years and two
children ago, Mrs. Edith Helm
was given a kidney from her
twin sister.
Today, she's a happy, healthy
housewife, and hoping to have
another baby, even though her
doctors once doubted she could
safely have children.
The sister who donated one
of her kidneys, Mrs. Wanda
Foster, now has three sons
and would like to have a daugh-
ter.

iShed tasks for its own people
in which it would like to make
substantially large investment. !"
To these two specific motiva-
tons he added the general
comment that there are con-
siderations which would indi-
cate that the Soviet Union
may be ready to take up some
of these particular points and
see what might be done with
them"
Mr.. Rusk's reference to the
conflict between Russia anc
Red China was in line with
a view widely held by tor
Government officials that Mr.
Khrushchev is seriously wor,
ried about the growing hos
tility in the Red Chinese lead
ership toward the Kremlin anc
feels he should improve hi
relations with the West anC
demonstrate that his policy o.
peaceful coexiStence can pro.
duce results.
View Widely Shared
The dispute over thermo-
nuclear war is a fundamental
issue of the conflict. Mr.
KhruShchev argues that the
Communists cannot any longer
afford to use major war as an
instrument for spreading Red
revolution. The Chinese con-
tend that great risks are neceS-
Sary and that war is probably
inevitable in the process.
Mr.. Rusk did not spell out
what economic pressures he
sees operating on Mr.. Khrush-
chew, but his general comment
was in line with what well-in-
formed officials say privately
Their view, which Mr.. Rusk
obviously shares, is that Mr.
Khrushchev must find some
way of reducing military costs
and the military drain or
Russia's industrial resources il
he is to expand the country's
civilian economy and increase
activities in the light industry
and consumer goods fields.
This was evidently what Mr.
-Rusk had in mind in referring
to RuSsia's great unfinished
tasks"
Hartman Confident
Presumably Mr.. Khrushchev
hopes that if he can make
agreements with the West
which would lessen the danger
Of war he will find it possible
to make the reductions in mill
tary costs which would allow
him to finance activities in
other fileds.

Two American Teams Scale Mt. Everest From Opposite Sides
Friday. May 24. 1863

KATMANDU, Nepal R - Two American teams scaled Mt. Everest from different sides Thursday each other at the exact peak but staged dramatic meeting at the slightly lower summit.
 It was the first such encounter in history and the first time any nation had four of it's citizens atop the mountain on any one day.
 Expedition leader Norman Dy- renfurth, Santa Monica, Calf, said Barry Bishop, Washington, DC, and Luther Jerstad, Eugene, Ore, got to the top via the traditional South Col.
 He said they looked for William Unsoeld, Corvallis, Ore, and Thomas Bornbein, San Diego, Calf, who were struggling up the hither- to unconquered west ridge of the 29,028foot mountain.
 When they didn't see them at once, they started down the way they had come. Then, Dyrenfurth said, they discovered that Unsoeld and Hornbein made it to the top and also started down the south ern route.
 They waited for the other two and had their reunion at the south summit before going down to- gether.
 Unsoeld and Hornbein had, thereby, made the first traverse of Everest in history.

CAPT. JERRY JONES
 RETIRES AFTER FOUR DECADES OF FLYING

ElSHty IOur Boy scout leaders from Florida's Dade, Monroe anc BroWard counties recently helped a veteran Pan American Airways pilot write "finis" to 4O-year flying career.
 Captain Walter J. Jerry" Jones piloted the group from Miami to Jacksonville for the annual meet ing of the Boy Scouts Fourth Re- zion, which includes Florida. North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
 For Jerry Jones it brought down the curtain on flying career that spanned four decades in variety of aircraft, from early day rickety crates" to sleek ocean, hopping behemoths. When Pan American took delivery on the first US. jets in 1858, Jerry spurn- ed an opportunity to fly them. Just a few years from retirement, he decided to rest his laurels on the scores of different types of air craft he had flown.
 Senior pilot in Pan Am's Latin American Division, and No. 4 in the airline's international system, Jerry began his aviation career in 1923 working for the Ryan Air craft Company in California.
 In 1881 Jones went to Alaska to join Joe Crosson for a survey of a US. to Orient route across the north, settled down to several years of flying over frozen wastes in all types of missions and even- tually became a pilot for com pany that was absorbed by Pan American. Crosson, Jones and SEE. Robbins shared many 'firsts'' in Alaska flying, including the first air mail routes.
 Jones flew out of Nome for sev- eral years during this period.
 With Robbins, Jones went to Miami in 1889 for familiarization with Pan Am's four engine flying boats, ferried one to Seattle tc start the first year round sched. ules between the US. and Alaska Three years later Jones was bacl in Miami, flying the Clippers or South American routes. At the beginning of World War II Jerry helped Pan Am set ur personnel and cargo all over the globe under the Air Transport Command. At wars end he was assigned to evaluate performance on the then new Cancellations and was later sent to Brazil for three years to train Panair do Brasil crews for flights across the South Pacific to Europe.
 Then came the new Boeing Stra- tocruisers and Jerry Jones was commander of the big double deckers on the Pan Am route be- tween Buenos Aires and Rio to New York.
 In 1852 Jones made a bid to be based in Miami and for the past years has lived there aboard his power yacht.
