PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS
Treaty Confronts Death With Hope
By RALPH McGILL

Inc right wing, including
Senator Goldwater, who first
viewed the test ban treaty
as a sell-out and has since
modified his position to one
Of many doubts, win learn
this In time. Despite the fact
that President Eisenhower
had made a nuclear test ban

for world peace and that
he went to Paris (where the
U-2 incident led to q break
up Of the summit meeting)
to urge such q treaty, q
mighty effort by the extreme
right wing began with the
Kennedy election to make
peace" a dirty and subver-
sive word. The right wingers
want action with the nuclear
bombs. (''Let's shoot off the
hardware.") The hooks and
nuts Gas Richard Nixon has
described them) equate peace
with communism /. . . To try
for q peace treaty, they say,
as to play into the hands
Of the Kremlin." If so fine
and decent and hopeful q
word as peace has become
the property Of Mr.. Khru-
shchev, then. indeed, maybe
1t doesn't really matter what
happens to the world.
First Realistic Treaty
The test ban is, to tell the
truth, the first realistic
treaty proposed. It recog-
nizes, and states, that there
is no bar to the use Of nu-
clear weapons In time Of war.
The treaty is based on self
interest. This eliminates
hypocrisy.
What It does get ct
is eliminating atmospheric
tests. We already have had
an element called strontium-
30 showing up In milk. vege-
tables and meat. 1t has the
ability to produce deformed
births and to sterilize hui
man reproduction capacity. Il
may be that generations
ahead Of us will pay q
penalty Of horror and grief
because Of what already has
happened to the genes Of
mankind. II this test ban
did nothing else but halt the
poisoning of earth and the air
about 1t, 1t would be q mag
nificent try at improving the
human condition.
The ban does more. It viii

change his mind. The Red
Chinese may 60 ahead. But
even they will think again.
This is q test. maybe the
last, Of mans moral willing
ness to confront death with
hope.

ognized, either tacitly or ex-
plicitly, as q separate Ger
man state.
"A third aim Of Soviet
policy in Europe Is the dis
indignation Of NATO by UNI
dermining promising move
ments toward European in
tegration and by the weaken
ing of the front line Of
NATO's d defensive shield
through some form Of dis
agreement. One aspect Of
this aim would certainly be
realized with the neutraliza-
ton Of West Germany. With
out a strong, stable and free
Federal Republic, the rest Of
Western Europe would be
vulnerable to insistent and
perhaps irresistible pres
sures."
No Deviation
Senator Scott added that
he had failed to detect any
significant deviation by the
Soviet Union from these
three detectives. and that he
had reservations regarding q
non-aggression pact as long
as the Soviet government re-
manned steadfast in its de-
signs respecting Europe.
A number Of explanations
are being advanced for the
reason why Russia has now
been willing to agree to
nuclear test-ban such as was
offered to them back in 1858
and even in the early days
of 1868 and was rejected.
Among them is the apparent
wide split between Russia
and the Red Chinese-the two
great Communist powers. If
there is truth in this ex-
PLANTATION. the Soviet govern
ment may be willing to go
even further on the road to
"coexistence." But this is a
road which the United States
must carefully examine in
the light Of its own security
and that Of It's allies abroad.
It is strange that the Sec
rotary Of State, now in Rus
STA, is not discussing with
Mr.. Khrushchev q matter
which is Of extreme interest
in this country-the with
drawal of Russian armed
forces from Cuba. At least
there has been no public
announcement or suggestion
that this subject, along with
a non-aggression pact for
NATO and the Warsaw Pact
nations, be taken up. The
withdrawal Of these troops.
from Cuba could well be an
evidence of good faith by the
Russians. Russian aid to
Fidel Castro still continues.
The American people con-
tinue to be interested in the
Western Hemisphere, and
the efforts made by the
Communists to align as many
as possible Of the republics
to the south Of us with them
selves. 1t seems that the
United States is expected to
go along with what Mr..
Khrushchev wants in the
cause of peace. while our
own desires are ignored by
him. Withdrawal Of Russians
from Cuba is q promise not
vet fulfilled.

For the Record

I was shocked to read Lee
Flor's July 81 account Of my
testimony on Meta legisla-
ton before a subcommittee
Of the House District Com
mittee.
The story quotes me in
directly as saying that Tex
isting highway programs are
administered arbitrarily at
the State level, with no con-
tribution from the county to
pay for freeways."
I made no reference to the
administration Of State
highway programs, directly
or indirectly, by implication
or by inference. AS a matter
Of fact, Arlington County en-
joys good cooperative rela-
tons with the Virginia State
Highway Department. We
have frequent formal and in
formal contacts with State
Highway Department Off
Gals on highway matters re-
lating to Arlington. Some
times they accept our view
point; sometimes they don't.
But they most certainly are
not arbitrary.
In the matter Of the To-
cation Of Interstate Route
Sc, for example, the County
Board has had numerous
conferences with State High
way Department officials
seeking to find ways Of re-
ducing the highways i'm
pact upon our community.
Our views have not always
prevailed, but the State
Highway Department has
made q number Of impor-
tant notifications in its
plans which have been of
benefit to Arlington.
In my testimony I did re-
fer to the method of financ-
ing highway programs. The
relevant part of my testi-
mony reads as follows:
Under existing methods
Of financing highway pro-
grams. we can be buried in
concrete at no direct cost to
ourselves as taxpayers in Ar
lington. But such a free
burial is not q community
objective in Arlington Coun-
ty. The present Arlington
County Board Is confident
that the citizens Of Arlington
will be willing to pay their
proper share Of the cost Of
a rapid transit system"
Federal State highway pro-
grams are financed from
Federal and State funds.
Arlington County funds are
not involved. That is q fact.
If we don't take care Of some
Of the additional growth in
traffic by rapid rail transit,
it is inevitable that more
freeways win have to be
built through Arlington.
That Is q hard fact. We are
going to have to pay q share
Of the cost Of any rapid
transit system which may be
built.
But none Of this adds up
to saying that the highway
program is administered
arbitrarily at the State
level" Words like "arbi-
ltrarily" and "uncooperative"
have been hurled around
with gay abandon during
these hearings on proposed
Meta legislation. But the
Arlington County Board has
not used them. nor did ! as
its representative in testify
ing before the subcommit-
tee. We have had good CO.
operation from both META
and the State Highway De-
partment.

The nuclear test ban

hopeful goodwill. It has been,
and is being, called q first

Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania
Republican, in a letter to
President Kennedy, has set
forth some Of the reasons
for careful scrutiny Of any
such pact before undertake
ing it.
Three Soviet Aims
Senator Scott wrote:
I'm the minds Of many of
us, as we explore the ques-
ton Of a non-aggression pact,
is the motivation of the So
Wet government. In my
opinion, Soviet policy in Eu-
rope has been motivated by
three aims, among others.
First, the USSR has sought
acceptance by Western pow
ers Of the permanent subjec-
ton Of formerly Independent
East Central European states
to Soviet imperial rule. Such
acceptance would clearly deal
a fatal blow to the fervent
hopes Of our silent allies in
East-Central Europe and
would betray our oft-repeat-
ed support of freedom for all
peoples. The second aim Of
Soviet policy has been the
naturalization of West Ger
many, one Of the most stead

naturalization would most
surely result If the present

could do a better job in an
area France occupied for a
century.
The statement was made at
a closed-door meeting but,
surprisingly, Gen. de Gaulle
authorized its release to news
men.
Neutral Status Hinted
There was speculation also
that Gen. de Gaulle had in
mind a neutral status for Wet

and was casting a straw to get

by both sides.

motives in his statement, COM

Washington had no immedi-
ate comment.
Seen as Balm
Some observers believed the
statement was intended as be-
lated balm to French prestige,
shattered in Southeast Asia
by Frances humiliating defeat
in Indo- China. France pulled
out of her former COLONY after
the fall Of Diem Bien Phu in
1854 and the Communists took
over North Wet Nam.
United States military power
then moved into the vacuum
to keep the Communists from
overrunning the entire PENN
Sula.
Many Frenchmen, presum-
ably Gen. de Gaulle included,
found that a bitter pill.
Gen. de Gaulle's rap at for
eign influence in Wet Nam also
was seen as another maneuver
for a more important voice in
international affairs, not only
within the Atlantic Alliance
but in nuclear war councils in
Washington.
Uprising Ignored
Gen. de Gaulle's remarks at
the cabinet meeting stressed
the friendship of France for its
former colony. However, he
didn't mention the Wet Mini
uprising in 1916 that developed
into the eight-year Indo-C China
war.
Gen. de Gaulle also did not
mention the massive aid the
United States gave France dur
ing that Inflated Indo-C China
war, which many Western mill
tary leaders thought could have
been won by better French
strategy.
Absent, too, in Gen. de
