forms of testing, If we must.
But it would be a mistake to
assume that this treaty will be
quickly broken. The gains Of
illegal testing are obviously
slight compared to their cost
and the hazard of discovery,
and the nations which have
initiated and will sign this
treaty prefer it, in my judg-
ment, to unrestricted testing
as a matter of their own self
interest, for these nations, too,
and all nations, have a stake
in limiting the arms race, in
holding the spread of nuclear
weapons and in breathing air
that is not radioactive. While
it may be theoretically possible
TO demonstrate the risks in
herent in any treaty, and such
risks in this treaty are small,
the far greater risks to our
security are the risks of UNI
restricted testing, the risk of a
nuclear arms race, the risk of
new nuclear powers, nuclear
pollution, and nuclear war.
This limited test ban, in our
most careful judgment, is safer
by far for the United States
than an unlimited nuclear
arms race.

Johnston Hits Bon
On U. S. Hiring
In Some Schools
BY the Associated Press

Senator Johnston, Democrat
of South Carolina, yesterday
asked the Civil Service Com
mission to revoke a ruling
against future recruitment of
students from segregated trade
schools for Federal jobs. t
He said the ruling, issued this
week, prohibits recruitment
from business, secretarial, trade
and similar non-public schools
which have not been desegre-
gated.
The ruling not only prohib-
its such recruitment but bars
acceptance of applications for
warded from such segregated
schools, he added.
This ruling" he asserted,
borders on dictatorship and is
a sample Of what can be eX-
pected II the Administrators
civil rights proposals pass Con-
gress.
Senator Johnston is chair
man of the Senate Post Office
and Civil Service Committee.
He said the rule will have
a harmful effect upon many
fine institutions Of learning
and upon the Federal service"
and he considers 1t an unfair,
punitive action" which could
penalise Negro as we'll as white
students.

Urges Prompt
Approval

For all these reasons, I am
hopeful that this Nation will
promptly approve the limited
teSt-ban treaty. There will, of
course, be debate in the coun-
try and in the Senate. The
Constitution wisely requires
the advice and consent of the
Senate to all treaties, and that
consultation has already be-
bun. All this is as it should be.
A document which may mark
an historic and constructive
opportunity for the world de-
serves an historic and con-
structive debate.
1t is my hope that all of
you will take part in that de-
bate, for this treaty is for all
Of us. 1t is particularly for our
children and our grandchil-
dren, and they have no lobby
here in Washington. This de-
bate will involve military
scientific, and political experts,
but it must be not left to them
alone. The right and the re-
SponSibilty are yours.

that during the next several
years a small but significant
number Of nationS-in addition
to the United States, Britain
Russia and France-will have
the resources to produce both
nuclear weapons and the means

and no real security, along
with increased chances Of &C.

France, busily developing her
own nuclear weapons, has re-
fused to join in any test ban
agreement so far. The President
made a strong plea for the
French to get into line with
the Moscow agreement, however
He said France as well as the
United States, Russia and
Britain, has a great obligation
ito use whatever time remains
to prevent the spread of nu-
clear weapons, to persuade
other countries not to test,
transfer, acquire, possess or
produce such weapons"
Necessary Strength
The President emphasized
that under the test ban treaty
the United States will continue
to have "all the nuclear
strength that we need"
He said he has not over
looked the risk Of secret vio-
lations, which are possible. He
said this means that "our own
vigilance and strength must be
maintained as we remain ready
to withdraw and to resume all
forms Of testing if we must"
But he declared cit would be

treaty will be quickly broken. +"
He said the gains of illegal
testing would be slight, COM
pared to their cost and the

President Kennedy hailed the
nuclear test ban treaty with
crossed fingers.
For the limited ban on test
ing-and he stressed limited

pressed limited optimism.
He delivered his message To
the Nation last night slowly
and deliberately. From his I'M
smiling face, it was not pos
sible to determine whether he
was giving good news or bad
The tone was tactful rather
than triumphant.
He did not speak Of dawn,
but merely Of "a shaft Of light"
He recalled the sombre his
tory Of previous meetings
which have produced only
darkness. discord or disil-
fusion"
He anticipated almost every
argument against the limited
test ban treaty. He explained
everything 1t would not do.
In fact, he has made larger
claims for minor bills he has
sent to Congress than for the
treaty which, some in his au-
dience think, may go down as
a major achievement Of his
administration.
'"This limited test ban, in
our most careful judgment, is
safer by far for the United
States than an unlimited nu-

way Of cautious summary.

seize this rare opportunity for
progress, If we are to be as bold
and farsighted in our control
of weapons as we have been in
their invention, then let us
now show all the world on this
side Of the wall and the other
that a strong America also
stands for peace. There is no
cause for complacency.
We have learned in times
past that the spirit of one
moment or place can be gone
in the next. We have been
disappointed more than once.
and we have no illusions now
that there are short cuts on the
road to peace. At many points
around the globe the Commu-
nists are continuing their ef-
forts to exploit weakness and
poverty. Their concentration
of nuclear and conventional
arms must still be deferred
The familiar contest between
choice and coercion, and the
familiar places Of danger and
conflict are still there, in Cuba,
in Southeast Asia, in Berlin,
and all around the globe, still
requiring all the strength and
the vigilance that we can mus
ter. Nothing could more great
ly damage our cause than II
we and our allies were to be-

been achieved and that our
strength and unity were no

The Path Of Peace
But now for the first time in

the time has come for an

will judge us harsher if we do
not now make every effort to
test our hopes by action, and
this is the place to begin. Ac-
cording to the ancient Chinese
proverb, "a journey Of a thou
sand miles must begin with a
single STEP"
My fellow Americans, let us
take that first step. Let US, if
we can, get back from the
shadows of war and seek out
the way Of peace. And If that
journey is 1000 miles or even
more, let history record that

further progress, can clearly
move in that direction.
I do not say that a world
without aggression or threats
of war would be an easy world
1t will bring new problems, new
challenges from the Commu-
nists, new dangers Of relaxing
our vigilance or of mistaking
their intent.
We Can Turn From War
But those dangers pale in
comparison to those of the
spiraling arms race and COLI
sion course toward war. Since
the beginning of history, wal
has been mankind's constant
companion. It has been the
rule, not the exception. Even q
nation as young and peace
loving as our own has fought
through eight wars. And three
times in the last 21a years
have been required to report tc
you as President that this ma
ton and the Soviet Union
stood on the verge Of direct
military conformation - in
Laos, in Berlin and in Cuba.
A war today or tomorrow, II

A fullscale nuclear exchange

extraordinary events related to

treaty mean an end to the
threat OF nuclear war. It will
not reduce nuclear stockpiles;

Of nuclear weapons; it will not
restrict their use in time OF

Nevertheless, this limited
treaty will radically reduce the

A Step to End
FoIIout Fears

Second, the treaty can be a
step freeing the world from
fears and dangers of radioac-
tive fallout. Our own atmos-
pheric tests last year were con-
Quoted under conditions which
restricted such fallout to an
absolute minimum. But over
the years the number and yield
of weapons tested have rapidly
increaSed-and so have the ra-
dioactive hazards from such
testing. Continued unrestricted
testing by the nuclear powers
joined in time by other ma
tons which may be less adept
in limiting polluation. will in
creasingly contaninate the all
that all of us must breathe.
Even then, the number Of
children and grandchildren
with cancer in their bones, with
leukemia in their blood or with
poison in their lungs might
seem statistically small to some
in comparison with natura
health hazards. But this is moi
a natural health hazard-anc
it is not a statistical issue. The
loss of even one human life
or the malformation of even
one baby-who may be borr
long after we are gone should
be of concern to us all. OuI
children and grandchildren are
not merely statistics toward
which we can be indifferent.
Nor does this affect the nu-
clear powers alone. These tests
befoul the air of all men and
all nations, the committed and
the uncommitted alike, with
out their knowledge and with
out their consent. That is why
the continuation of atmospheric
testing causes so many coun-
tries to regard all nuclear
powers as equally evil; and we
can hope that its prevention
will enable those countries to
see the world more clearly,
while enabling all the world to
breathe more easily.

tied ban on nuclear tests will
not resolve all East-West con-

to stop trying to dominate the

Even If further agreements
might ease the threat of war,
he said, there would be new
problems and new dangers of
relaxing our vigilance or Of mis-
taking Communist intentions.
But those dangers pale in
comparison to those of the
spiraling arms race and a COL
hsion course toward war;" he
stressed.
Other Pact Discussed
Much of Mr.. Harriman's
time in Moscow was devoted
to talks with Premier Khru-
shchev and Soviet Foreign
Minister Gromyko about the
possibility Of agreements in
other fields, including q nom
aggression treaty between the
NATO allies and the Soviet
bloc Warsaw Pact countries Of
Eastern Europe.
The President said Mr.. Har-
riman made it clear that "any
nonaggresSion arrangements
across the division in Europe
would require full consultation
with our allies and full atten-
ton to their interests"
While no one can predict
what further agreements, if
any, can be reached, the
President said, they could in
clude controls on preparation
for surprise attack, on num-
bers and types of ornaments,
and further limitations on the
spread Of nuclear weapons.
THE important point" he
emphasized, "is that efforts to
seek new agreement will go
forward"
In addition to possibly open
ing the way to broader areas
of agreement, the President
pointed out that the treaty can
be a step toward freeing the
world from the fears and dan
gers of radioactive fallout.
It also can be a step toward
preventing the spread of nu-
clear weapons to nations not
now possessing them, he said.

it will not prevent this Nation
from testing underground or
from being ready to conduct at
mospheric tests If the acts of
others so require, it gives us
a concrete opportunity to ex-
tend its coverage to other ma
tons and later to all forms Of
nuclear tests.
This treaty is in part the
product of Western patience
and vigilance. We have made
clear most recently in Berlin
and in Cuba-our deep resolve
to protect our security and our
freedom against any threat or
aggression. We have also made
clear our steadfast determine
ton to limit the arms race. In
three administrations, our
soldiers and diplomats have
worked together to this end,
always with the support of
Great Britain. Prime Minister
Macmillan joined with Presi-
dent Eisenhower in proposing
q limited test-ban treaty in
1858, and again with me IN
1861 and 1862.
Victory for Mankind
But the achievement Of this
goal is not a victory for one
side-it is a victory for man
kind. It reflects no concessions
either to or by the Soviet
Union. It reflects simply our
common recognition of the dan
gers in further testing.
This treaty is not the mil
lenium. It will not resolve all
conflicts, or cause the Commu-
nists to forego their ambitions,
or eliminate the dangers of
war. It will not reduce our
need for arms or allies or pro-
grams Of assistance to others.
But 1t is an important first
step-a step toward peace-a
step toward reason-a step
away from war.
Here is what this step can
mean to you and your children
and your neighbors.

spread Of nuclear weapons to
nations not now possessing
them. During the next several
years. in addition to the four
current nuclear powers, a small
but significant number Of ma
tons will have the intellectual.
physical and financial re-
sources to produce both nuclear
weapons and the means Of de-
livering them. In time. it is
estimated, many other nations
will have either this capacity
or other ways Of obtaining
nuclear warheads. even as mis-
siles can be commercially pur-
chased today.
I ask you to stop and think
for a moment what it would
mean to have nuclear weapons
in many hands-in the hands
Of countries large and small,
stable and unstable, responsible
and irresponsible, scattered
throughout the world. There
would be no rest for anyone
then, no stability, nor real
security, and no chance Of eff
fective disarmament. There
would only be increased
chances of accidental war, and
an increased necessity for the
great powers to involve them
selves in otherwise local con-
flictS.
If only one thermometer
bomb were to be dropped on
any American, Russian or other
whether it was launched
by accident or design, by a
mailman or an enemy, by q
large nation or small, from
any corner of the world that
one bomb could release more
destructive force on the in
habitants of that one helpless
city than all the bombs
dropped during the Second
Worl War.
Neither the United States,
nor the Soviet Union, nor the
United Kingdom, nor France
can look forward to that day
with equanimity. We have a
great obligation-all four nu-
clear powers have a great OBJ
ligation-to use whatever time
remains to prevent the spread
of nuclear weapons, to per-
suade other countries not to
test, transfer, acquire, possess
or produce such weapons.
This treaty can be the open
ing wedge in that campaign.
1t provides that none of the
parties will assist other nations
to test in the forbidden en-
vironments. It opens the door
for further agreements on the
control of nuclear weapons.
And it is open for all nations
to sign. For it is in the interest
Of all nationS-and already we
have heard from a number of
countries who wish to join with
us promptly.
