Bonn Cabinet
A-Pact

BONN, Germany, Aug. 16
(AP). - West Germany an
nounced officially today it will
sign the limited nuclear test
ban treaty.
The decision to do so was
made unanimously at a cabinet
meeting that lasted almost four
hours.
West Germany's signature
will be affixed to the treaty in
Washington. London and Mos
cow-the capitals of the three
countries that negotiated the
treaty.
Claims Sole Roll
The cabinet said that West
German ambassadors, in sign
ing up in the three capitals,
will issue statements reiterat-
ing their governments claim to
be the only legal representa-
tive of the German people.
The rival East German Com
munist regime already has
signed the treaty in Moscow.
But it cannot sign in Washing
ton or London, because the
United States and Britain do
not recognize East Germany.
Announcement of the de-
cision to sign ended doubt
about the West German gov
ernment's intentions. The two
main opponents of the treaty,
former Defense Minister Franz
Josef Straus and former For
eign Minister Heinrich Won
Brentano. attended the cab
met meeting.
Will Go to Parliament
Karl Guenther Won Hase,
the government press chief,
announced the treaty will be
submitted to Parliament for
ratification. 1t is assured Of a
big majority because the Social
list Party. the main opposition
group, supports it.
The decision was made after
a careful check of statements
by United States Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and Lord
Home, British Foreign Secre-
tary. Both have insisted re-
peatedy that they do not intend
to recognize the East German
Communist regime as a gov
eminent.

LeMoy's Treaty Support
Limited, Go|dwoterS Says

Senator Goldwater left the
closed hearing before other
subcommittee m m b ers had
compile tie d questioning Gen.
LeMay. The Senator was fly
ing to Madison, Wis, for a
speech tonight.
Earlier, the CHI airmen of
three committees had agreed
that administration witnesses
are building UP a strong and
effective case for ratification of
the limited nuclear test ban
treaty.
Case Strong, Russell Says
Chairman Russell of the
Armed Services Committee said
Government, diplomatic, mill
tary and scientific spokesman
make a very strong case" He
added, however, that he is
keeping an open mind until all
the evidence is in.
The Georgia Democrat said
he was Impressed that the
witnesses are aware that there
are military disadvantages" in
adherence while maintaining
they are more than offset by
other factors in the United
States favor.
Chairman Fulbright Of the
Foreign Relations Committee
said in a separate interview
that he believes the treaty is
picking up votes" as the hear
ings proceed, on the base of "a
very effective" presentation.
PastOre Sees Strong Case
Chairman Pastore Of the
Joint Atomic Energy Committee
said he thought the case for
ratification "terrificly strong"
IF anyone had any doubts
about this treaty." he added,
Il think he found a great deal
of comfort and assurance in
the testimony"
The three chairmen voiced
their opinions before the For
eign Relations Committee went
behind closed doors to question
Director John A. McCone Of
the Central Intelligence Agency
on the security aspects of the
treaty banning nuclear tests in
the atmosphere, under water
and in space.
Blueprint" Sought
The Armed Services Com
mittee has unanimously ap-
proved a demand by its Pre-
paredness Subcommittee that
Gen. Taylor supply a blueprint
of plans to guarantee the
maintenance of safeguards.
Gen. Taylor has promised to
assemble the data.
Senator Russell asked that
the data be provided before
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee votes on the treaty.
Senator Hickenlooper, Re-
publican of Iowa, senior Re-
publican on the Foreign Rela-
tons. Committee, told Gen.
Taylor at yesterdays hearing
that the safeguards in their
present form appear to be made
up of "a multitude of i'm
ponderables and hopes" and
should be backed with copper
riveted, guaranteed safeguards
of Americas military posture
and security.
Gen. Taylor replied that the
safeguards were drafted by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff with
great elaboration and care.
"All these safeguards are
within the capacity of the
American people," the general
added. If we don't maintain
them, it's our own fault. But I
have every confidence in the
American people"

BY ENDRE MARION
Associated Press staff Writer


When w. Averell Hartman,
who negotiated the nuclear
test-ban treaty was asked re-
Gently why the United States
is signing the pact with the
Soviets knowing they will not
honor it, anyway, the diplomat
retorted impatiently:
This is the typical question
Of a semi-informed man, and If
I have offended anyone, I'm de-
lighted :"
Russia, Mr.. Hartman ex-
planned, has observed some of
the pacts it signed. But let
there be no mistake. he added:
The Soviets will not honor this
agreement any longer than it
suits their purposes"
Specialists at the State De-
partment agree with their Un-
dersecretary on both counts. On
the general Soviet philosophy
concerning the value of treaties
they quote the greatest author
ity, Vladimir Lenin:
I'm war never tie your hands
with considerations Of formal
ity. It is ridiculous not to
know that q treaty is the means
of gaining strength" the found
ing father Of the Soviet Union
wrote.
But the diplomats at the
State Department discreetly
applaud also Mr.. Harriman's
rebuke to the often heard
charge that it is O waste of
time to sign any pact with the
Soviets.
Keep Some Treaties
There is no justification of
such a generalizated accusa-
ton, specialists in Soviet af-
fairs assert. There are treaties
which Moscow meticulously OBJ
serves.
It is a difficult, almost i'm
possible task to draw a bal
ance sheet showing on one side
the agreements the Soviets adj
hered to, and, on the other,
those they violated or plainly
ignored.
One reason is that many Of
these accords, including, for
instance, the most important
ones on Germany, were not
real diplomatic documents with
appropriate seals and sigma
lures, but rather records Of
secret conversations, gentle
mems agreements" reached at
conferences such as Potsdam
and Yalta. There is room for
honest differences Of opinion
on what these shadowy agree
ments really call for.
Another reason is that
though critics are probably
right when they assert that the
Soviets have disregarded some
details Of such specific agree
ments, such as those on fish
ing rights and cultural ex-
changes, these still are re-
garded as functioning salts
factorially over all.
One Of the typical examples
Of vague East-West agreements
was the one which was aimed
at regulating allied access to
West Berlin through the air
corridors.
The issue became a major
headache exactly two years ago
in August 1861, when the
SovietS began harping again on
the question to what an extent
the Western allies can use
these corridors, more Specifi-
cally whether civilian airlines
can make uncontrolled flights
through them.
The Russians could raise
this issue-and they can do it
again whenever they deem it
convenient-only because the
Western access rights were
based on a number Of unpub-
lished agreements reached on
a rather low level in subcom-
mittees Of the four-power allied
control council in Berlin in
l945.
Through the history Of the
last As years-Since the Soviet
Union came into being-pro-
vides numerous examples Of
seemingly deliberate treaty vio-
lations by the Soviets, many of

Frontier Boordinqs
Show Increase

SyStemwide Frontier Air
lines registered a 54 per cent
gain in June passenger traffic
by flying 1901, 600 revenue
passenger miles compared with
the 8,494,O0O flown in June of
1862. This is the fourth conSecu-
tive month in which Frontier
has set all-time highs in pas
SengerS and passenger miles.
June passengers totaled As, ,460,
up 13 per cent over the May
figure of 40,009 and As per
cent over the 31,245 carried
in the same 1862 period.
Since March of this year,
Frontier has been serving five
fewer points than in 1862, but
the airline anticipates further
increases in traffic starting
July 10 because of Inauguration
of service to the four new
points of Ell Paso, Alamogordo,
Santa Fe and Colorado Springs.

Wheat Buyers Reminded

their liability for the marketing

purchases not identified as pen

Marketing quotas remain in
effect on the 1868 crop as a

Watermelon for Summer

In the good old summertime,
nothing beats the heat quite like
a slice of juicy watermelon.
Well, summer is here, and
waterrneIons, lots of them are
coming to western markets.
Designated by the us. De-
partment of Agriculture as one
of July's plentiful foods +,
these melons are convenient
picnic fare, refreshing on a hot
afternoon and a not-too-filling
dessert.
According TO the USDA, sup
plies of watermelon will he
about the same as last sum-
mer, so prices should be easy
ON most food budgets.
In the western states the
most popular varieties are the
Klondil1e and the Peacock
and there are various types of
these to be had, too. The Klon-
dixie Black Seeded type is a
medium-sized melon, about 16
inches long and 10 inches
thick, with a dark green rind.
It's flesh is dark pink, sweet
Favored and free from fiber.
The seeds are small, shiny and
black.
The Peacock Improved type
is quite similar. 1t, too, is me-
dium sized. However, its flesh
is orange-red; the dark green
rind has faint creaSes, and the
small seeds are brownish-black
to black.
The best test of ripeneSs?
Still the old, time tested method
of cutting and tasting. Gener-
ally, the harvesters do a good
