Soviet leaders have told their

already siispected--that China.
not the United States, is Rus
sia's chief antagonist.

The timing Of the letter,
which took four of Pravda's six
pages. seemed to indicate that
the Russian leaders were pre-
pairing their people for q dra-
matte shift in Soviet policy.
Signs Appear Clear
The signs were evident that
the Soviet government was
about TO move closer to the
West-probably through q nu-
cellar test ban - and further
away from It's strained friend
ship with Red China.
The letter, for instance,
stated that both Washington
and Moscow wanted to avoid
a nuclear holocaust, while
Peking wanted TO push them
into such q war. The implica-
ton was that. after such q
war, China hoped 10 emerge

A-Test Ban Talks Viewed as Futile;
US. Urged to Deal TouqhIy With Reds

One Of the most pernicious
illusions abroad in the world
, today Is the fond hope that
II nations viii give UP test
ing atomic weapons the
threat Of an atomic holo-
caust will vanish.
We can close Pandora's
box, but the pests are al
ready out.
Furthermore, where do the
ban-the-t tests pickets get the
idea that It would be good
for humanity II the devilish
art Of atomic bomb-making
were stopped at its present
point Of development
For what We have now are
dirty bombs. They suck up
vast amounts of ground de-
bris into q highly radioac-
tive fireball and then dis
tribute strontium 90 dust
along a downwind path.
We have heard talk about
dirtier bombs - bombs with
cobalt or gold cases that will
produce even deadlier fall
out. So a lot Of people have
the idea that testing Is be-
ing conducted with the sole
idea Of producing bombs that
leave more dangerous after
effects.
This isn't necessarily true.
From q purely military point
Of view, clean bombs = that
Is, bombs with big wallop but
with minimum radiation -
could be more valuable. Dirty
bombs have heightened ter
ror value, but they invite re.
taliation. Neither side could
profit from an unbreathable
atmosphere, and generals
breathe, too.
As in World War II, where
both sides withheld the use
Of excellent gases and some
rudimentary bacterial weap-
ons, the next war may find
both sides limiting their
choice Of weapons in their
own self-interest.
But 1t would be q mistake
to assume that this limita-
ton would extend to all
atomic weapons. If anyone
can develop o clean atomic
bomb 1t would be q marvel
ously cheap and efficient kill
er. And three United States
administrations have tried to
make 1t plain that If we face
the choice between looSing
atomic war and watching
Russia's vast land armies
crunch through to the Chan
mel with conventional weap-
ons we will choose the for
mer.

MAX FRIEDMAN
Why the Kennedy Administration
Is Willing to Consider Proposal

There is no visible enthu-
siasrn In the White House or
the State Department for the
Russian suggestion that the
members Of NATO and the
Warsaw Pact should sign q
non aggression agreement.
But the willingness Of the
Kennedy administration to
consider this proposal, while
remaining cautious about its
prospects, Is yet another ex-
ample Of the Presidents de-
sire to give Russia every
chance 70 make Q contribu-
ton TO peace. e.
In the past the United
States treated all overtures
TO o non-aggression pact with
summary disdain. The usual
answer was that the United
Nations provided q universal
pact against aggression: and
Russia could best serve the
cause Of peace BY becoming
q good member Of the United
Nations instead Of thinking
Of new pieces Of paper with
which to restrain an aggres-
sor. This answer is still valid
but 1t no longer Is regarded
as settling the matter.
There can be no progress
unless we begin by UNDER
standing that the entire con-
cept Of . non-aggression pact
looks very different to Q
Russian than it does to an
American.
