to peaceful uses nuclear weapon
materials from its stockpile.
We we're, in another concession,
even willing to cut our stockpile

The proposal was combined with
another to halt production of fis-

Mr.. Tsarapkin doomed any

Soviet Union cannot accept any

Whatever that means.

Two Questions

There are, however, two ques-
tons which worry some Senators
and other Americans about the
treaty. They are:
What effect will the pact have
on the race between the United
States and the Soviet Union to
develop an anti-missile missile
system?
What is the Importance Of the
Soviet advantage in its exclusive
possession Of very large megaton
warheads?
Mr.. Mcnamara undertook to
give the inquiring senators the
answers. They were among his
least persuasive.
He said that we can proceed
with the development Of an anti
missile missile system With a test
ban because the problem is dom
mated by factors unrelated to the
treaty" - reaction speed. missile
performance, traffic handling abil-
ity and capacity to ignore the
decoys the enemy is likely to send
in with the live warheads.
In addition, the Secretary &C
knowledged the possibility Of the
United States being confronted
with an operational Soviet anti
missile missile system when he
said that any such system they
are likely to have in the near
future probably" will not be as
effective as the Nike-Zeus. which
we decided not to deploy because
of inadequate effectiveness.

Eust-West:
Next Step?

The United States on Friday
agreed to accept, in principle,
Premier KhruShchev's proposal
for ground observation posts on
both sides of the Iron Curtain
to guard against surprise at
tack.
Ever since the initiating Of the
partial nuclear test ban pact in
Moscow last month. much Of the
worlds attention has been turned
to this question:
What will the next step be in
the current effort to ease cold
war tensions?
A hint of a possible answer
came on Friday when Ambassador
Charles c. STEELE, head Of the
United States delegation to the
17-nation disarmament talks in
Geneva, told the Russians that
we were prepared to accept Pre-
mier Khrushchev's July II pro-
posal for guarding against sur
prise attacks by stationing ground
observers at airfields. rail ter
minals. ports and highway juno
tons on both sides Of the Iron
Curtain.

The Undefended

One Of the unforeseen prob
lens of the Negro in some South
ern States is obtaining a lawyer
to represent him in racial protest
arrests.
In Clarksdale, Miss, for exam
pie, no white lawyer could be
found to represent any Negro in
volved in a rights demonstration,
a symptom of the community
pressure at work.
Last Tuesday a group of the
Nations leading lawyers formed
a nonprofit corporation in Chi
cago, the Lawyers Committee for
Civil Rights Under Law. to rem
edy this evil. 1--WE want to serve
as the conscience of the lawyers
of America, to make sure they
play their role in this crisis" said
Bernard g. Segal, a Philadelphia
lawyer and co-chairman of the
group.
The committee will supply law
yers in selected cases, encourage
local biracial groups and help ed
ucate the public on legal issues
in race relations. 1t is being fl
nanced initially by donations
from a dozen major legal firms.

Concession to Soviet

Mr.. Stelle voiced a concession
to the Russians, too. He said that
the United States would not insist
on additional safety measures,
such as aerial observation, mobile
ground observation teams and
overlapping radars. to be part Of
the plan for warning system
against surprise attack. What Mr..
STEELE asked was more details
from the Russians on the Khru-
shchev plan so that an agreement
might be hammered out. No reply
has as yet been received by the
American delegation.
Secretary Rusk. answering ques-
lions at his news conference here
on Friday, said that prospects for
a treaty to help bar surprise at
tack were promising II the USSR
did not tie to its proposal provi-
sions for reducing allied and So
Wet troops in Germany. There
we're reports Friday that 1t is do
ing just that.
Mr.. Rusk called the effort
against surprise attacks one of
the limited areas in which agree
ment with the USSR is possible.
Earlier this month he had talks
with Mr.. Khrushchev at the
Black Sea resort town of Gagra
and the two leaders discussed a
wide range OF East West
problems
But II one advance was made,
there was also q setback to re-
cord. This came when the Soviet

explosions in the atmosphere,
outer space and underwater, but
not underground
The qualifications listed by the
Joint Chiefs we're these:
/. There must be continued and
aggressive" testing underground
to improve weapons.
2. There must be maintenance
of laboratories facilities and pro-
grams in theoretical and explora-
tory nuclear technology to attract
and keep scientists.
8. There must be a mainten-
ance of atmospheric testing facil-
tiles that could be used promptly
if the Soviet Union abrogates the
treaty.
4. There must be an improve
ment of the American monitoring
and intelligence systems to pick up
evidence of Sino-Soviet nuclear
activities and possible treaty vio-
lationS.
In his testimony, Mr.. Nc
Namara pledged to carry out the
above steps, saying:
I'VE will maintain the vitality
Of our weapons laboratories. We
will continue to conduct a pro-
gram Of underground tests as nee
essary to meet our military re-
quirements. We have the
determination to retain a readi-
ness to test in every relevant en-
vironment. This is firm national
policy"
On one Of the four jos quail
fications, the Government is al
ready making good its promise.
Two underground nuclear deto-
nations took place last week at
the Nevada range. The tests were
certain to reassure some Senators
of our determination to press
ahead with our nuclear weapons
technology.
Senator Jackson, who probably
knows more about nuclear weap-
ons than any other member of
the Senate, wants to make certain
that the Government had definite
plans to push in the areas men
toned by the Joint Chiefs. Upon
the Washington Democrats sug-
gestion the Armed Services Com
mittee has asked Gen. Taylor to
report on exactly how the chiefs
safeguards are going to be met.

Dr.. TeIIer's Warning

The only anti-treaty testimony
heard on Capitol Hill last week
came from the formidable DR..
Edward Teller, father Of the
hydrogen bomb" But he was not
heard by the Foreign Relations
group. He appeared before the
Senate Preparedness Subcommit-
tee In closed session on Monday.
Excerpts from his testimony were
released on Wednesday.
The Hungarian born nuclear
physicist said the treaty would
have grave consequences for the
security of the United States" He
said that the pact could not be
adequately policed and would
permit the Russians to keep their
lead in very large weapons while
they can catch UP In the smaller
weapons area by continued under
ground testing.
DR.. Teller was particularly con-
cerned lest the development Of
American missile defenses be
impeded. He believes that the
Soviet is ahead in this vital area.
Developments during the week
made 1t clear that there will be
no organized partisan political OPP
position to the treaty. Gov. Rookie
Teller Of New York. candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination next year, gave the
treaty his qualified approval as
former Vice President Richard M.
Nixon had done earlier and as
former President Eisenhower did

to submit his views to the Sem
ators in writing, perhaps this
week.

Strong Case

The Associated Press inter-
viewed three Senators who are
chairmen of key committees and
reported on Friday that they were
in agreement that administration
witnesses are building up a strong
and effective case for ratification.
Chairman Russell of the Armed
Services Committee which, along
with the Senate members of the
Joint Atomic Energy Committee,
is attending the hearings, said he
was impressed" with the VERY
strong case" being made. Chair
man Fulbright Of Foreign Rela-
tons asserted that the treaty is
picking up votes" because of the
very effective" presentation.
Chairman Pastore of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee said
that if any persons had had any
doubts about the treaty they
found "a great deal Of comfort
and assurance" in the testimony.
Having said that the prospects
for ratification are bright, it must
be quickly added that there were
and will be tough questions asked
and doubts raised about the
treaty. Indeed, even Mr.. Nc
Namara, who gave perhaps the
most persuasive testimony, con-
coded that there were risks in
volved. Additionally, he qualified
many Of his statements dealing
with American VS.. Soviet nuclear
chronological capabilities with
such phrases as appears to be-"
indicates that" and I'VE believe"
The total Of the Mcnamara
testimony, however, was that the
United States is clearly superior
to the Soviet Union in nuclear
weaponry and that the test ban
treaty will prolong our superior
ity. (The Russian military. of

Eost-Edst::
to Rift

Communist China charged on
Thursday that the Soviet Union
broke a promise in 1859 to
supply her with a sample
atomic bomb and nuclear weap-
OnS data.
For many months Western
KremlinologistS and Sinologists
sometimes called Pekingologists)
have been searching for the root
cause of the widening rift between
the Soviet Union and Communist
China.
Some of the possible reasons
that have been advanced are
these:
Personality conflict between the
two top leaders of world COM
munism, Nikita Khrushchev and
Mao Tse-tung; an theological
conflict, with the Chinese holding
that even warfare is permissible
in the effort to bring world domi-
nation by communism and the
Russians speaking for peaceful
co-existence" with their capitalist
enemies; the suspension of Soviet
economic aid to Red China.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Anew Rights Move
In Virginia County

Civil rights resumed the 'tOp
spot in national attention last
week. A new plan to educate
Negro children in Prince Ed
ward County, Va, was an
nOunced; a lawyers committee
formed to help in the racial
crisis; and discOrd erupted
among AFL-CIO leaders over
the issue.
In schools, construction, labor,
law and housing, the question
that will not go away continued
to haunt the American scene.
Though Southern leadership
appeared to have temporarily
stalled the administrators civil
rights bill in the Senate judiciary
Committee, the movement was
busy elsewhere.
Perhaps the most hopeful sign
to Negroes came Wednesday with
the announcement that free
schools would be offered this fall
in Prince Edward County, Va,
where Negroes have gone virtually
without education for four years.
Prince Edward abandoned its
public schools in 1859 to avoid
court-ordered desegregation.
White parents Immediately formed
a private foundation to operate
schools for their youngsters, but
the Negro children have been
without schools ever since.
After weeks of behind-the-
scenes negotiations, a privately
financed plan to offer free educa-
ton in Prince Edward was an
nounced by Virginias Gov. Har-
rison. The schools, which will
operate in buildings leased from
the closed public school system,
will be open to both races, although
it is expected to serve the Negroes
primarily. A special assistant to
the attorney general, William
Vanden Heuvel, played an i'm
portant role in arranging the free
classes, and Gov. Harrison an
nounced the plans although the
schools will function privately and
not as part of the State public
school system.
The instrument to break the
deadlock is the Prince Edward
Free School Association. Privately
financed, the non-profit corpora
ton expects to begin teaching the
county's 1,700 Negro children next
month. 1t already has a Wash
ington address,. o. Box 1000
to accept contributions.
Still up in the air. however, is
a lawsuit brought by attorneys
for Negro children there to force
county schools to reopen. A Fed
eral court Of appeals last Mon
day refused to order them re-
opened, ruling that Virginia's own
court must pass on the question
first.

be the G. o. P. standardbearer in
1864, has been criticizing the
treaty and administration state
ments in support of 1t, but he
has not said he would vote against
ratification. The senator asserted
that the Joint Chiefs don't have
their hearts in" their backing Of
the treaty.
Mr.. Kennedy almost certainly
will get his treaty. But his ad-
miniStration spokesman several
times sounded a prudent warning
to the American people. 1t was
put this way by Mr.. Mcnamara
Perhaps the most serious risk
of this treaty is the risk Of eu-
phoria. We must guard against a
condition of mind which allows
us to become lax in our defenses."
Mr.. Kennedy has said that
there would be no cuts in our
defense as a result of the treaty.
There has been, however, per-
sistent talk at the Pentagon of
a reduced defense budget for next
year. Such cuts might feed the
very euphoria against which Mr..
Mcnamara and the administra-
ton warn.

March % march in Washington
for jobs and freedom. The council
Endorsed the principle, but not
the march itself.
Two members Immediately
sounded off. "A masterpiece of
noncommital noncommitment,"
snorted A. Philip Randolph, Negro
chairman Of the march commit
tee and head Of the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters.
1.-THE statement is so anemic,"
gibed the United Auto Workers
Walter P. Reuther, that you'd
have to give it blood transfu-
sion to keep 1t alive on its way
to the Monograph machine" A
third member, James P. Carey of
the International Union of Elec-
trical Workers, agreed it was
pretty weak stuff.
The quarrel pointed up a his
toric schism within the AFL-CIO.
Generally the younger Congress
of Industrial Organizations swept
in Negroes during its huge plant
wide membership drives during
the 1930s. But the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, drawing its
strength from old conservative
father and-Son skilled crafts,
tended to bar Negroes from its
unions. Where the Negro sue
ceeded, as in Mr.. Randolphs
Brotherhood, it was an all-colored
organization.
To date, the AFL-CIO is per-
hitting individual unions to en-
courage members to join the Au-
gust 20 march, but that's as far
as it will 20.

Dixie Charges

The other episode was an &C
cusation by Senator Thurmond,
Democrat Of South Carolina, that
Bayard Rustin, deputy director Of
the march committee, had
prison background and had par
ticipated in Red activities.
Mr.. Rustin confirmed that as
a Quaker and pacifist he had
been jailed during World War II
for refusing to register for the
draft. He said he Joined the
Young Communist League as a
college student in the late 1866
but broke completely" with 1t in
l941. Mr.. Randolph expressed full
confidence in Mr.. Rustin.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
A Very Harmonious Debate

Secretaries Rusk and Nc
Namara last week led in pre-
senting the Administrations
case for a partial nuclear test
ban treaty TO the Senate. The
United States, meanwhile, con-
tinued its schedule Of UNDER
ground nucIear explosions.
After a week Of hearings before
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on the ratification of
the partial nuclear test ban pact
recently signed by the United
States, Great Britain and the
Soviet Union, it was clear that
the administration had made a
good beginning.
Led by Secretary of State Rusk,
who appeared on Monday, a
chorus of top Government leaders
sang a soothing song for the
Senators, some Of whom seemed
eager to have their lingering
doubts over entering into q treaty
with a Communist dictatorship
overcome by official assurances.
Not a single discordant note was
sounded as Defense Secretary
Mcnamara, Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor, the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, DR.. Glenn T.
Seaborg, Chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission, and John A.
McCone, Director of Central In
telligence, added their supporting
voices to Mr.. RuSk's.
Clearly, the administration had
done it's homework and it ap-
peared to be- paying off. All major
questions were anticipated and
the answers given to them were
regarded as satisfactory by most
of the senators. Nothing in the
first weeks hearings-the ques-
tioning may go on for two more
weeks-has caused any change in
the consensus that the treaty
would be ratified with a COM
Portable margin above the neces-
sary two-thirds of those Senators
present and voting. On the con-
trary, this feeling was buttressed.

The Outsiders

when the South has trouble
with its Negroes" writes James
Baldwin in Nobody Knows My
Name" -. it blames outside
agitators and Northern interfer-
ence.' When the Nation has
trouble with the Northern Negro,
it blames the Kremlin. And this,
by no means incidentally, is a
very dangerous thing to do. We
thus give credit to the Commu-
nists for attitudes and victories
which are not theirs"
Two episodes last week pointed
up the significance of these
words. Washington officials said
a statement from Communist
China by Mao Tse-tung scoring
American racial policy was a
formal bid for leadership Of the
worlds colored peoples. And a
Negro leader Of the August %
march was branded a Red by
southern ldWuldk6T.
The first incident figured in
the split between China and the
Soviet Union. Peking has been
aiming much of its Red propa-
ganda at peoples of color, partic-
ularly young African nations,
while Russia has concentrated on
the more prosperous European
land white) nations.
In a 1,000-word statement, Mao
Tse-tung linked race discrimina-
ton with the class struggle, and
attacked the "enslavement" Of the
Negro in the United States. OBJ
servers felt the barb was aimed
as much at Moscow as at the
American audience. Equally sig
nificant, it was issued over Macs
name, a rare occurrence in Chi
nese propaganda.

Charge He Reneged

Last week, the Western experts
saw an old suspicion turn into
the most likely candidate of all.
The evidence came in an attack
on Soviet disarmament policy
published by the New China News
Agency.
In this latest round Of bitter
charges and counter-charges, the
Chinese Reds accused the Soviet
Union Of refusing to provide
Peking with "a sample Of an
atomic bomb and technical data
concerning its manufacture" al
though the Kremlin had promised
to do so in a defense agreement
reached in October, 1857. The
agreement was abrogated by
Premier Khrushchev in June, 1859,
according to the Chinese, who
probably we're provoked into max
ing the disclosure by the new
nuclear test-ban treaty.
The Chinese. as they have
usually done after blistering the
Russians. challenged the Kremlin
to publish their charge that Mr..
Khrushchev had reneged on his
agreement. Also, as usual. the
Russians have not done so or are
they likely TO.
The Chinese accusation is
bound to be a source Of embar-
rassment for the Russians, who
have always posed as an opponent
Of the spread Of nuclear weapons
TO nations that do not have them.
The fact that Secretary Rusk
said on Friday that II was his
impression that the Russians did

The Monster

AS for the monster warhead
matter, Mr.. Mcnamara asserted
that we can do the job better
with more smaller ones. In his
Pentagon language, it came out
this way: For a given resource
input we achieve higher target
destruction with our smaller
systems"
But he added that the Penta-
gon has never reached q consen-
sus with regard to the wisdom Of
a 100-megaton equivalent to 100
million tons of INT versus a
50-megaton bomb, saying that he
could not predict whether we
would build the larger bomb If
there were no treaty.
Without saying so directly. the
Secretary disclosed that the So
VETS possession Of giant nuclear
warheads had compelled us to
scale down our estimate of the
number OF missiles the Russians
would have to launch to knock
out a single hardened Minuteman
ICBM site In the United States.
The old estimate was that 1t
would take anywhere from 3 to 10
enemy rockets. In his Tuesday
testimony, however, Mr.. Nc
Namara said that the vulnera-
bility ratio for Minuteman is
less than two sites killed on the
average by a single vary large
yield Soviet missile" under the
most pessimistic circumstances.
This means. Of course. that the
Russians would need far fewer
rockets to eliminate our main
land based missile force than 1t
was heretofore believed.
