The Conflicts

BY Friday, the conflicting test
imony from the experts had
caused a certain bewilderment
among the senators and, one
might suppose, among the inter-
eSted citizenry.
Chairman Fulbright Of the For
eign Relations Committee re-
Elected the new feeling when he
told DR.. Willard Libby, a Nobel
prize winner and a former mem
Der Of the Acc, that 1t was very
difficult" to evaluate the testi-
mony Of one noted nuclear scient-
list against that Of another. DR..
Libby expressed haunting doubts
about the treaty, which bars all
nuclear explosions save those con-
Quoted underground.
Later, Senator Fulbright said
the divergent scientific testimony
may cost 1t (the treaty. a few
votes, although he added that he
did not think ratification would
be endangered.
There we're few who would
argue with the Fulbright estimate
of the situation. There were some.
however, who wondered whether
there couldn't somehow have been
a public debate before the treaty
was signed. What helped provoke
this latter feeling was the dis
closure that the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff were asked (by the admins
tration) for their views on the
treaty only after II was signed.
Evening star., 1963-08-25

the administration had things
pretty much it's own way.
A string Of persuasive high
ranking witnesses put the case for
ratification before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and
its invited guest-participants, the
Atomic Energy and Armed Ser
vices Committees. Secretary of
State Rusk led the way, followed
by Defense Secretary Mcnamara,
Gen. Maxwell Taylor. Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; DR..
Glenn Seaborg, Chairman Of the
Atomic Energy Commission, and
John McCone, Director Of Central
Intelligence.
When these articulate and
knowle dgeable officials had
finished explaining why the treaty,
which has been signed by the
United States, Great Britain and
the Soviet Union and acceded to
by a hesitant West Germany
and more than rs other nations,
was a good and safe thing, the
earlier consensus that the Senate
would ratify was strengthened. 1t
takes two-thirds Of those senator's
present and voting-67 If all 100
senators vote-to ratify.
Last week, the "other side" of
the case was heard and as several
equally formidable personalities
presented the opposing views.
They disputed the conclusions of
the proponents in several impor-
tant areas and were. in turn, dis
puted themselves by a second
wave Of supporters of the ban.
Evening star., 1963-08-25
Positive Plan

The testimony of DR.. Teller was
not all negative. He advanced an
alternative plan for a treaty with
the Russians, one he said would
fully protect our national security
and weapons development pro-
grams. Instead Of barring all
atmospheric shots, he argued, we
should agree to limit such tests
to the equivalent Of one megaton
Il million tons Of INT equiva.
lent) worth Of radioactive fallout.
This, he added, would mean that
the total amount Of fallout which
decays each year would exceed
that added by new tests and,
therefore, the new tests would
not increase the present total.
DR.. Teller was challenged on a
number of key points by DR..
Harold Brown, Defense research
chief, and DR.. Norris Bradbury.
Director Of the Los Alamos Lab
oratory, while DR.. John S. Foster,
Jr.. head Of the Lawrence Radia-
ton Laboratory at Livermore,
Calf, supported him in opposing
the treaty as militarily risky.
DR.. Brown said that even II
the Russians cheat it will not
substantially harm our security
position.
The senator's were bedazzled
with DR.. Teller's brilliance and
eloquence-he spoke with a pleas
ing fluidity at great length and
without note-but whether he
convinced many of them is an
other thing. What it is safe to
say is thiS-he raised number of
thought-provoking questions for
them to wrestle with before they
cast their votes.

Long-Ronge

The administration itself, while
anxious to get its package before
the 1864 election year, displays no
inclination to rush through frag-
mentary piece of legislation as an
offering to demonstrators. The
Justice Department, for example,
has rewritten language in the
bill allowing the Federal Govern
ment to cut off funds for pro-
grams where discrimination oc-
ours. The new clause would permit
States to obtain court review of
such cut-offs.
No civil rights bill has been re-
ported out Of the Senate Judici-
airy panel in nearly a century, and
observers are beginning to doubt
that the section Of the package"
in Chairman Eastland's hands
dealing with schools, voting and
employment discrimination will
reach the floor. Committee aids
admitted last week a fat file of
witnesses is to follow Mr.. Ken
nedy.
But the public accommoda-
tions" section affecting service of
Negroes at restaurants and hotels,
while more controversial, is also in
more sympathetic hands in the
Senate Commerce Committee.
Hearings have ended, and Chair
man Magnuson of Washington
last week began closed sessions to
write a draft bill.

Congress-:
Rail Rush

The Senate Commerce Com
mittee rushed through q new
arbitration bill late Friday to
avert a rail strike this week.
But doubts persisted that Con-
greSs could act by the deadIine
at midnight Wednesday.
The great featherbedding fight
on American railroads in the last
four years has been q story of
poStponements.
Two Presidential panels have
approved the work-ruleS changes.
Federal courts have upheld the
carriers legal right to impose
them. Six times railroad manage
ment has compiled with Govern
ment and court requests that they
delay putting the new rules into
effect.
President Kennedy contributed
to the delay this summer with his
plan naming the Interstate Com
merce Commission to establish
railroad work rule over a two-year
period, during which strikes or
lockouts would be illegal. The
scheme is but a disguised formed
of compulsory arbitration with
more postponement built into it.
Evening star., 1963-08-25

United States maintains its nu-
clear testing readiness and capa-
bilities at high state.
Two other ranking Air Force
generals spoke out directly against
ratification in testimony before
the Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee. They were Gen. Thomas
S. Power, chief of the Strategic
Air Command, and Gen. Bernard
L. Schriever, top space and missile
man Of his service and a favorite
to succeed Gen. LeMay as Chief
Of Staff next year.
The other members Of the Joint
Chiefs-Gen. Earle Wheeler,
Army; Admiral David Mcdonald,
Navy, and Gen. David Shoup,
Marine Corps-differed with Gen.
LeMay, saying the fact that the
pact had already been signed
had no effect on their decision to
support it.
Evening star., 1963-08-25
Hurried Action

Now, a new deadline is rushing
upon Congress. Carriers insist
they will put the new work rules
into effect in the darkness of
1901 am. Thursday and the
five operating rail brotherhoods
warn the trains will halt If that
happens. But the Senate thinks
it may head that off.
After round-the-cl clock media
ton efforts by Labor Secretary
Wirtz collapsed last week. Chair
man Magnuson of the S en- ate
Commerce Committee met with
his panel and within 48 hours had
reported out bill.
Labor will not like it. The mea-
sure carries the implications of
compulsory arbitration on two
key issues, though it leaves other
m a tiers for further voluntary
talks. But it appeared lawmakers
were ready to knock heads to-
gether to end the four-year con-
troversy.

nanced projects. but accepted
the risk.
Curiously, President Kennedy
seemed to side with the plumbers.
Il don't think quotas are q good
idea," he told a questioner at his
press conference Tuesday. Instead,
he suggested a general inspection
of employment rolls to "at least
make sure we're giving everyone
a fair chance"
". We're too mixed, this
society Of ours, to divide ourselves
on the basis Of race or color" he
added.
In New York, talks failed to
solve the staggeringly complex
problem Of integration Of Har-
LENS children into the school
system across five boroughs. This
fall the city plans to transport
some $4,000 Negro and Puerto
Rican students outside their
neighborhood school districts by
bus to further integration.
But Negro groups consider this
a token move and want massive
shifting Of students. THE same
old garbage" one NAACP official
branded the city's plans, after
stalking out Of a meeting with the
school superintendent. Thursday
the Negro leaders announced a boy
colt Of schools on opening day,
September 9.
In strife-ridden BIRMINGHAM.
Ala, another bombing ripped away
part of the home of a Negro at
torney, Arthur D. Shores, and
touched off rioting. Luckily no
one was hurt. A bombing dam
aged the home of Rev. A. D. King
plus a motel there last spring. A
grand jury investigation of the
latest attack appeared imminent.

Other Happenings

Elsewhere in the boiling racial
picture there were these develop
ments:
The national plumbers union
and their employers last Monday
flatly rejected a Federal scheme
to prevent racial discrimination in
apprenticeship programs. "We
will accept no dictation from any
Government agency" they de-
clared.
The regulations, announced last
month by the Department of
Labor, would oblige them to adopt
racial quotas in their training
programs. The United Associa-
ton of Plumbers and Pipefitters
admitted their stand might mean

India:

Prime Minister Nehru was as

week, but opposition parties

confidence vote.
His nationalism Is equal to
his internationalism. A confirmed
socialist, he wants for his coun-
try only what the country can
manage. He is practical states
man, tempering his ideals to suit
his surroundings. But for him
self, he is an idealist who would
ever strive to live UP to his
ideals"
Thus spoke the master, Ma
hatma Gandhi, Of his political
heir and successor. Jawaharlal
Nehru, many years ago.
Today, some other Indian lead
ers are speaking far less civilly
or, perhaps, effectively, about
the man who has been Prime Min
lister of India ever since that vast
nation Of now 400 million per-
sons was given its independence
by Great Britain in l947.
For the first time in his l6
years in office, the soft-spoken
Mr.. Nehru last week faced a no.
confidence vote in Parliament. It
was bitter experience, even
though he was sustained by q 346
TO 81 margin.
His opponents denounced this

shame" as fearful" and "vacillat-

though he bombed tiny Goa and

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Civil Rights Summer
Nears Its Climax

A summer Of civil rights DEM
OnstratiOns will be climaxed this
week with Washington march
to impress lawmakers with the
size and diversity Of support.
But congressional leaders
warned that it may be many
weeks before a bill reaches a
vote.
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
Deep In my heart / do belieue,
We shall overcome some day.
Armed with this simple spirit
ual, a crowd Of 10000, including
such diverse personalities as New
Yorks Mayor Wagner and Lena
Horne, Methodist Bishop John
Wesley Lord and Nat King Cole,
will gather here Wednesday for
the long-awaited March for Jobs
and Freedom.
1t is the most publicized gath
ering in the Nations Capital in
decades. At every turn, Washing
tonians ask: What will happen?
What about the 100000 visitors if
we have a rail strike? Will Con-
greSs be pushed hurridly into
action on a rights bill?
The answers to the first two
questions remain hidden, but the
reply to the third is a dignified,
emphatic no. Not only is the
Southern inquisition Of Attorney
General Kennedy still droning on
in the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee (eight appearances so far,
with no end in sight), but the
Democratic leadership of the
Senate has shifted it's timetable;
it feels the measure must be post
poned to clear other vital bills
such as the test ban treaty, q rail-
road bill and foreign aid money.
In fact, warned Senate Majority
Leader Mansfield last week, the
rights bill may be the last item
on the Senate agenda - along
about Christmastime.

Last week developments broke

The Irony

The war against the Wet Cong
has been a difficult, dirty, uphill
struggle. Only in the last few
months has 1t taken a definite
turn in our (South Wet Nam
United States) favor. The success
of the armed-village policy is es-
tabliShed; defections to the Wet
Cong have fallen off substantially
and the killing and capturing Of
guerrillas has increased in tempo.
1t is cruelty ironic-those who
see the hand of communism at
play believe it to be no coinci-
dence-that just as the battle
began to 60 better, South Wet
Nam became torn with an inter-
nal problem involving the gov
ernment's policy toward the Bud
dhistS. Most Of the Is million
South Wet Namese are Buddhists.
President Diem and his family are
Roman Catholics.
As the dispute between the
Diem regime and the monks and
their followers worsened, United
States concern over the effects Of
the situation rose. Our main
worry, Of course, is that the anti
guerrilla war effort will be weak
ened.
President Diem promised to do
his utmost to conciliate with the
BuddhiStS, who seemed to add
new demands each time an
agreement appeared to be in the
offing. The Presidents brother
and chief adviser, Ngo Dinh Nhu.

Gated sterner measures against

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Wet Nam: Test for u. S. Policy

The Diem regime in South
Wet Nam cracked down on anti
government Buddhists in temple
raids on Wednesday and de-
clared martial law. The United
States denounced the "repres-
sive" measures and speeded
policy review.
For nine years, from the time
President Ngo Dinh Diem took
office in Saigon with the par
titioning of his country, the
United States has been pouring
millions Of dollars into South Wet
Nam in economic and military aid.
We are spending at a rate of
nearly 81 million a day now,
primarily in strengthening South
Wet Mans armed forces for battle
against the Communist Wet Cong
guerrillaS. We have also dis
patched a good many military
advisers" to help first a few
hundred, then a thousand or two,
on up to 5000 and, in the last
two years, to a current total of
about $4,000 men.
This heavy and sustained effort
emphasizes the vital Importance
the United States attaches to
keeping South Wet Nam from
slipping behind the Bamboo Cur
tain. If the North Wet Nam
Communists, backed by the Red
Chinese, were allowed to take
over, the rest of Southeast Asia
would be gravely threatened. The
Prov es tern, anti-Communist
countries Of Malaga, Singapore
and Thailand would be in par
ticular danger. Even India, the
worlds largest democracy, would
be outflanked.

ficially that 1t had no informa-
