Jackson Poses 8 Questions
On Treatyfor Senate Decision

Senator jackson of Wash
ington, one of the key Demo-
Gratis who is reserving judg-
ment on the test ban treaty
today posed eight questions he
said must be answered before
the Senate can decide If the
treaty Is "in our national in
terest."
Actually, his speech in the
Senate covered more than q
dozen points, because some OF
his questions had two or three
subdivisions. Included in the
points were:
/. Gan the United States
afford q position Of parity OF
equality with the Soviet Union
in nuclear weapons technology
and systems? Does the United
States require for an effective
deterrent a margin Of safety
and superiority in these mat
tiers In view OF Soviet secrecy?
2. "In what areas Of strategic
and defensive nuclear weap-
ons systems do the Soviets
know as much or more than
we do? In what areas Of slu-
clear weapons research and
weapons effect must We pro-
gress in order to protect and
maintain our deterrent?
8. Can we make the prog
ress necessary to protect and
maintain our deterrent by I'M
foreground testing within the
limitations Of the proposed
treaty?"
PLANNED AbrOgatiOn"
Senator jackson also asked
what steps will be taken to
deal with the possibility of a
planned abrogation" by the
Soviets, that is, 1.-THE possible
use of the treaty by Moscow to
degrade our laboratory pro-
grams in nuclear research and
our test organizations while
secretly preparing to abrogate
the treaty and carry out an
other massive atmospheric test
series?"
The West Coast Democrat
also called for an answer to
whether an anti-1CBM is
achievable. President Kennedy
at q recent press conference
questioned whether an anti
missile missile is within the
range of possibility for any
country to produce.
Republicans, meanwhile, were
demanding that President Ken
nedy prove his claim that the
limited nuclear test ban treaty
will increase United State;
security.
The proof will be sought
when military and scientific
experts are questioned in hear
ings on the treaty, said Repub.
lican Leader DirkSen.
In sending the pact to the
Senate yesterday. Mr.. Kennedy
said the ban on atmospheric
space and underwater blasts
will assure the security of the
United States better than con-
tinued unlimited testing or
both sides"

It was an ominous note. The
word serious" previously had
been unused, even If the cir
cumstances had augured 1t
from the moment Patrick had
been put in the ambulance
for Boston when he was less

At 1890, the President flew
to Otis Air Force Base for a
visit with his wife. As he

barracks-like building con-
tanning his wife's suite. a
maid rushed forward to con-

the President would return

An ambitious mother urged

At $3.50 the President and

down on the elevator, but
instead Of coming out, they
headed for the glass doors
to the garden beyond.

niger. After consulting the
President. the doctors had de-
cided to put Patrick, still
struggling for breath, into a
pressure chamber. where oxy-
gen would be forced into his
lungs.
DR.. Samuel Levine, the New
York specialist who had pre-
sided over the survival Of
prematurely born Anna
Christina Radziwill, the Pres
ident's niece and goddaughter
had fastened from New York
for consultation.
Enters Chamber
At 4:41, Patrick, then 20
hours old, had entered the
chamber, the only one of its
kind in the country, with a
team of five medical experts.
The Presidents brother
and mainstay, Attorney Cen
eral Robert F. Kennedy, was
flying from Washington.
An optimistic report from
Cape Cod from Mrs. Ken
nedy's press secretary was ex-
planned. At what must have
been one of the days lowest
moments, the President had
called his wife with an en-
couraging bulletin.
Screams and Cheers
The President returned
briefly to the hotel. and at
1925, emerged for the days
last visit. A mounted police
man forced the crowd UP
onto the sidewalk. His horse
had been fed by an enterpris-
ing girl with grass filched
from the public garden across
the street.
The unsmiling President
acknowledged sketchily the
screams and cheers and
shook hands with four nuns
waiting to see him. He looked
at the crowd the way a per-
son in trouble looks at people
who are not. He got into his
car.
His brother had preceded
him to the hospital, had
hurried in wordless, with his
head down, plunged past the
plaque that thanked the Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, jr., Foun-
dalton for its contribution to
the building, into the wing
that held young Patrick in
his chamber.
At 9:25, Mr.. Salinger an
nounced that another medi-
cal team had gone in with
Patrick, relieving the first
five. The baby was being
fed intravaneouSly.
Two hours later, he an
nounced that the President
would stay at the hospital
through the perilous night
with his famous, fragile Sec
ond son. The crowd outside
received the news with
groans Of disappointment.
A Restless Night
The President had little
rest. At 2:10 am, the doc
tors called him, and he went
to the chamber to see the
baby.
At 2:30, his brother and
David E. Powers, an old
friend and aide, came back
to the hospital.
At $40, the President,
with Bobby and Dave Powers,
went back to the chamber.
They were standing by
it at 4:O4, when Patrick
Bowler Kennedy, in spite Of
all that science and his
father coule do for him, died.
He had lived precariously
some 80 hours in a world
that seemed to promise him
everything.
The struggle to keep
breathing, Mr.. Salinger told.
the press in a pre-dawn con-
ference, had been too much
for his heart.

Infants Struggle Put
Severe Strain on Heart.

BOSTON, Aug. 9 (AP).-
With all their heroic efforts,
the doctors hoped to buy time.
Perhaps If little Patrick Ken

difficulties that plagued him
from birth.
But some things even med
ical skill cannot yet afford.
Death came to the Presi-
dents tiny baby in the 40th
hour Of life. Taxed by the eff
forts of breathing, the baby's
heart gave in to hyaline men,

It would be a factor in sur

Meanwhile, they did every
thing possible to slow the baby'c

One hope was to increase the

this was not effective.
Finally, in a near-desperate
move, the baby was moved into
a submarine-shaped steel pres

Ethical Reminder

President Kennedy few days ago

employees that they must act with
integrity, impartiality and devotion to
the public interest" With this state
ment OF an ethical principle, we assume,
everyone will agree.
What must be puzzling some Gov
eminent employees, however, is precisely
what application the principle has to
arm-twisting tactics intended to per-
suade them to kick In with $l00 for
ticket TO such things as the recent
Democratic gala and a drink with the
boss. But perhaps II does not apply TO
anything that serves the interests OF
the Democratic war chest. In fact, the
President said at a recent news con-
ference that he was not aware OF anyone
having been pressured that he hadn't
received any report. And, naturally, MIR.

The Marshall Memorial

George C. Marshall soldier and
statesman, contributed so heavily to
the World War II defense of his country
and the subsequent rebuilding of Europe
that 1t is entirely fitting his name and
deeds should be properly memorialized.
Nor Is there any more effective way
than to build Marshall Memorial Lii
brary and Museum near the Virginia
Military Institute campus at Lexington,
where Gen. Marshall was graduated and
later served on the Board of Visitors.
The George c. Marshall Research Foun-
dation, Of which Gen. Omar N Bradley
Is president, is moving toward that goal
Plans are far advanced. The ground
has been broken, the architects work
completed, and the day Is not far away
when construction will begin. In time
there will rise a building which will
hold all OF the thousands of Gen. Mar
Shall's public papers, books, films, tape
recordings and other records. Also there
will be many Of his personal effects and
mementoeS, and those of some Of his
lieutenants OF equal significance will
be another section, containing research
center and library, filled with historical
documents which in time will be ex-
panded to include the diplomatic and
military history Of the first half Of the
century.
To make this living memorial posi-
BILE, the foundation needs SIS million,
Of which S500000 will go into the con-
struction, and the remainder for an
endowment fund to satisfy all future
demands. About one-fifth of this has
been subscribed. Now, for the next few
weeks, a committee headed by former
Gov. John s. Battle, Is making an
intense effort for financial support by
Virginians, with whom Gen. Marshall
so closely associated himself. Mr. Battle
is hopeful the campaign will attract
Virginians. as well as citizens nationally,
on broad level Of participation. He
and others active in the campaign
share Sir Winston Churchill's appraisal
that this towering figure In contempo-
rary history always fought victoriously
against defeatism, encouragement and

Time to Modernize

Senator Mcclellan Of Arkansas is
supported by rs other Senators, three
fourthS Of the membership of that
chamber, in sponsoring legislation to
establish a Joint Committee on the
Budget. The merit Of the proposal is
obvious, and, in fact, the need is great.
1t is not partisan project, and on five
previous occasions the Senate has ap-
proved similar legislation. In all cases,
the House has declined to follow suit.
The function of such committee,
In BRIEF would be to coordinate and sim
plify the consideration of appropriation
requests from the executive branch and
to improve congressional surveillance
over the expenditure of public funds. 1t
is astonishing that such objectiveS, or
any thoughtful proposals for attaining
them, could be narrowly controversial
They have been, largely because of the
point OF view of the House, based upon
custom and its own Interpretation of the
Constitution, that all money legislation
must originate in that branch. In prac-
tice, as a consequence, both branches
have held separate appropriation COM
mittee hearings and in other ways have
operated so independently as to involve
duplication of effort, waste of time and,
in the end, excess of appropriations and
waste Of money. The day of $10O-
billion Federal budgets is at hand and
errors In budget "gueSStimating" involve
increasingly greater sums of money
usually on the deficit side, and this with
the national debt moving constantly
higher
Authorization for the joint budget
committee procedure exists in law, in
the Legislative Reorganization Act of
1946, but has never been implemented.
The Mcclellan bill proposes 1t on a
Streamlined and workable basis, starting
with 14-member committee that would
be made up Of seven members from
the appropriations committees from
each branch. The most useful feature,
however, would be the creation of a
professional technical staff such as that
which has functioned with unqueStioned
success in the Joint Committee on In
ternal Revenue Taxation. On tax leg
iSlation, this system has not led to any
infringement of the rights and priv
ilegeS of each branch of Congress. There
is no reason to believe 1t would do so
on appropriation measures 1t is time
for Congress to update its method of
dealing with the public funds. The plan
Offered by Senator Mcclellan and his
associates is good way to start.

On Talk and Tests

When he recently suspended our
countryS underground nuclear testing,
President Kennedy entertained the hope
that the action would help to promote
progress toward a trustworthy treaty
prohibiting all such experimentation
Since then, however, the new Anglo
American Soviet talks on the matter
have been abruptly recessed, at the
Kremlin'S request, until February IL,
when they will be shifted to Geneva
and the l7-nation disarmament COM
mission. Meanwhile, in Secretary OF
State Rusk's words, it may be said of
them that the forward movement"
they have generated has been, II any,
minuScule," and there is little reason
to hope that their renewal next week
will lead to swift or spectacular
advance.
This is so because the Russians
apparently are as determined as ever
to turn thumbs down on an effective
policing system for the proposed ban.
Hence, with the talks thus likely to
continue to drag on interminably and
fruitlessly, the President now has called
for resumption OF preparations" for
experimental underground American
nuclear and thermonuclear detonationS.
The word preparations" is ambiguous,
but 1t presumably means that the deto-
nations will be ordered In the near
future unless the Soviet negotiators at
Geneva show some real desire for
treaty sufficiently safeguarded to merit
the confidence OF the world. AT any rate,
when he issued his suspension directive
a week ago last Saturday, Mr.. Kennedy
had this TO say; I'VE have no intention
OF again accepting an indefinite mora
torium on testing, and II II is clear we
cannot achieve a workable agreement,
we will act accordingly"
More than few knowledgeable
mericans-including DR.. Edward Teller
and Republican Representative Hosmer
(whose general views on the subject
are shared by many OF his Democratic
colleagues on the Joint Atomic Com
mittee) - believe that the President
should not hesitate, but should order
an immediate resumption OF scheduled
underground nuclear tests In Nevada. 4"
