The United States, Great
Britain and the Soviet Union
concluded q treaty last week
that would ban atomic tests in
the atmosphere, outer space
and underwater, but not un-
dergrOund.
About 7:3O Thursday evening.
the gates outside MoScow's Or
nate Spiridonovska Palace were
opened and more than 100 watt
ing newsmen and photographers
were invited inside.
The opening of the gates in
dicated to the impatient journal
lists that the Big Three finally
had agreed on a treaty banning
all but underground nuclear ex-
plosionS. b :
Inside the palace, Russia's An
drei Gromyko. Americas Averell
Hartman, and Geat Britain's
Lord Hailsham had just finished
initiating the most significant
cold war document since the ma
jor powers had agreed on a peace
treaty with Austria In 1855.

Whit 1t Seeks to Do

The latest reprieve was a White
House request to Congress for a
joint resolution. 1t would do these
things:
Q Shift the whole controversy to
the ICC, a Government agency
that usually busies itself with
mergers and rate-setting matters.
Q Continue the right of man
agement and labor to bargain on
the issue, but grant the ICC power
to make its ruling on train crews
stick for two years, if the parties
could not resolve it.
. Prohibit the union from call
ing a strike, or railroad manage
ment from locking out employees
in support of their positions, dur
ing the two years.
o Instruct the ICC to make its
ruling soon, presumably within
100 days, and to take into ac-
count recommendations of two
previous boards, the Presidential
Railroad Commission and the
Presidential Emergency Board.

Switch

Most observers believe the adj
ministration can muster the nee
essary votes to insure its ratifica-
ton. Much depends on the inter-
national atmosphere in coming
weeks. II things are as calm as
they are today. there should be
little difficulty. However, in a
more tense climate, there might
be some trouble.
Since there is undoubtedly wide
public support for any agreement
which would reduce the amount
OF radioactive fallout In the air,
most Senators have been ex-
tremely cautious about raising
objections to the treaty.
Reservations-if not outright
obiections-can be expected from

country which looks upon any
agreement with the Russians
with suspicion. Senator Goldwa-
ter, the 1904 presidential favorite
Of the conservatives, said he
could not vote for a partial test
ban.
Senator Dirksen, the Republic
can leader, said he had found a
"gimmick" in the treaty, but was
reluctant to reveal it to reporters.
Liberals like Senator Humphrey
were generally quite pleased with
the treaty. Mr.. Humphrey, long a
partisan of disarmament meas
ures. was a bit more ecstatic than
most. He told the Senate, zone
can really say in all reverence,
Thank God. mankind Is making
progress"
One source Of friction was re-
moved when the Joint Chiefs OF
Staff indicated! they no longer

gives them considerable oppor-
tunity to develop their weaponry.
The Pentagon, Of course, is a
powerful lobby with considerable
numbers Of supporters on Capitol
Hill.
In a television report to the
Nation on Friday night, President
Kennedy defended the treaty
against possible criticisms. He
urged the Senate to take a careful
look at the document, but left no
doubt he was for prompt approval.
Mr.. Kennedy went so far as to
solocit the public at large to send
letters to their Senators urging
ratification.
This debate will involve mill
tary, scientific and political ex-
perts," Mr.. Kennedy said, but 1t
must not be left to them alone.
The right and the responsibility
are yours"

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Railroad Dispute:
In Lap Of Congress

tary Wirtz had called the parties
back into negotiations, trying
desperately to solve the issue
without resort to new laws.
About the only consolation for
lawmakers is that the shrinking
railroad brotherhoods in them
selves are numerically small in
the transport field. The Firemen
have declined from 1860 to u.s.
400 members in the last 43 years,
and all five railroad operating
unions total only $4,000 today,
against more than 1T million
Transfers.
But it is what this relative
handful of rail workers can do
to the Nations transport arteries
that magnifies the fireman prob
lem all out of proportion.

Cites Advantages

In his half-hour talk, Mr.. Ken
nedy touched on the advantages
accruing from such q treaty.
High on the list, he said, would
be the easing Of the fallout prob
lem. 1t was the danger coming
from the radioactive debris Of at
mospheric tests which led to the
early public concern in the mid
1950s for some sort Of nuclear
test ban. With the coming Of
cleaner" bombs, such fallout has
been reduced. but some scientists
still see great peril to future gen.
erations from such testing.
Because Of the many fruitless
years of negotiation, the test ban
has long been political symbol
of cold war Illustration. Now. both
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Khrushchev
are calling it a symbol for greater
East West cooperation.
The test ban presents certain
problems however. Since the es-
cape clause is quite liberal, one
can never be sure when one party
to the treaty will withdraw, and
begin testing again.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-28
A Step Forward

Tired, but appearing quite
pleased with the product Of their
10 days Of business like work, the
negotiators told the throng Of
correspondents that they thought
the treaty would be a "step for
ward" in easing international
tensions.
In the same tone, the COM
munique said the "test ban agree
merat constituted an important
first step toward the reduction
of international tension and the
strengthening Of peace"
The treaty itself, the culmina-
ton Of nearly five years of on
again, off-again talks, is q rather
short document. These are its
main points:
o The Big Three agree not to
carry out any sort of nuclear
explosion in the atmosphere, out
er space or underwater. Under
ground tests also would be pro-
hibited if leakage" from the
tests spread radioactive debris to
other nations.
Q Efforts will be made to re-
frain from causing, encouraging
or In any way participating in"
testing by other states.
. All other nations are invited
to Join In the treaty. =
. Any state can withdraw from
the treaty "if 1t decides that ex-
traordinary events have jeop-
ardized the supreme interests q.

Must Be Ready

This means 1t is imperative to
be ready to test at all times. When
the Russians resumed testing sud-
denly In September, 1861, after
three years of q moratorium, this
country was caught unprepared.
This time, Mr.. Kennedy said.

Both Satisfied

In. a world where "nukes"
would be almost as common as
conventional explosives, mig hit
not a devastating nuclear war be
triggered by some small nation,
oblivious to the chain reaction
1t might start?
Thus, the long-range security
interests Of the United States
would be best served, it is felt,
If only the big powers have the
weapons.
A test ban also would mean
that each side is satisfied with
its own arsenal and feels no COM
polling need to keep testing. In
the age of "over-kill," both sides
presumably have a wide enough
assortment of weapons to deter
the opponent from an attack.
1t is believed that the United
States has a superiority in guam
tity of nuclear warheads, and the
Russians an edge in the size of
each weapon and in the so-called
"weight-yield" ratio, which de-
termines how much explosive
force Is given off per foot Of de-
vice.

A Surface Pledge i

The cfilnbllng Of this unity eff
fort had been foreseen months
earlier by experienced Middle East
observers. Antagonist between
Mr.. Nasser and the BaathistS has
been so bitter for so many years
that experts could not conceive Of
Nasserites and Baathists living in
a united federation.
On February 8, Baathists seized
power in Iraq, executing Premier
Kassem in the takeover. A month
later, the middle Of the-road gov
eminent in Syria was toppled by
a similar Baathist-inspired coup.
In both cases, the new govern
ments Pledged themselves whole
heartedly for Arab unity.
On the surface, these unity pleas
seemed to be the expression Of
pro-Nasser sentiments. But as
events later proved, the Baathists
were using unity mainly as a slo-
gan to rally various elements of
society around their banner.
In negotiations held in early
spring, the governments of Syria,
Iraq and the JAR agreed to a
federated union at a later date,
but 1t soon became clear that the
declaration Of purpose had no real
chance Of being implemented.
The Baathists strongly resent MI.
NaSser's attempts to dominate pol
itics in the Middle East, and have
taken harsh steps to eliminate pro-
Nasser support in their countries.
They feel that Mr.. Nasser would
centralize power too much in
Cairo If there was any unity of the
UAR, Syria and Iraq. That is why
the BaathistS have tried to in
terest Algeria In joining such a
union as balance to Egypt.

Immigration:
New Outlook

A liberal new policy for i'm
migration was proposed last
week by President Kennedy. The
move threw the spotlight on the
Nations need for foreign scien-
lists and promised an overhaul
of an archaic quota system.
The United States quota for adj
hitting British subjects to this
country is 65,361 a year. Currently,
Britain sends only rs, 900 annually.
For Italy. the quota is $685..
But a backlog of more than 1872
900 yearn to become American cit
liens, In the barren hills Of
Greece. 97,577 have applied for
passage to America, but we let In
the tiny total Of 308 each year.
Such are the peculiarities Of
our present immigration law, en-
acted in 1924 with a system Of
quotas tailored to favor Northern
Europen nations and keep most
others out.

been a vivid dream in the Mid.
die East for years.
But even more appealing has
been the sharp pull of nation
alism that followed in the wake
of colonialism's departure from
the area.
Once again nationalis1n has
proven stronger than unity. Last
week, celebrating the 18th ami
versary Of his military takeover,
United Arab Republic (Egyptian)
President Nasser told a cheering
crowd that he no onger would do
business with the ruling parties
in Syria and Iraq, the Bath So
cialists.
This meant that the well-pub-
licized UNITED Arab Federation"
would not be established as sched-
uled. t
