J The Russians have now reverted to type with a ven
, pennce. Their boasted "ban" on nuclear weapons testing
vj is exposed as the fraud it was feared to be, and they are
exploding- new devices on a full scale.
In the United Nations, while piously professing: their
j willingness to put an immediate test ban into effect
! "for all time," their representative says they won't join
; in the one-year moratorium we and the British propose,
i . We wish to take it stage by stage until it has been
i demonstrated that adequate systems of inspection and
i detection-absolutely necessary to the effective enforce
: mont of a test ban can in fact 'oe established.
Having shown nothing to justify trust in them, die
a Russians in effect ask everybody to take them on faith.
It's as if the world's most famous bank robber applied
to the Bank of England for the job of carting gold to
1! the vaults.
J Our. Atomic. Energy .Commission-says that in their
newest series of nuclear blasts, now totaling six, the
J Soviet Union has set off at least one with a relatively
high radiation yield. '
I One1 of the most outrageous aspects of the Russian
position as currently stated is their declaration that they ''
I propose to conduct at least another 100 test blasts to
J "catch up" numerically with the total they say the Unit
a ed States and Britain have touched off. '
J This is an absurd proposition designed for propaganda
effect only, It is a crudeattempt to justify before the
a world their abandonment of a ban1 they obviously never
J intended to observe in the first place.
If it were anything but this, one would be tempted
J-to class it as a kind of juvenile insanity. The "I can do
anything you can do" theme when applied to the busi
ness of contaminating the world's atmosphere with un
clear fallout could only be madness if .seriously meant.
Furthermore, any exact numerical matching would in
tin's instance be meaningless. While the three nuclear
testing nations must surely be following the same gen
eral lines in their experiment, it is fantastic to imagine
that their specific endeavors are- similar and would re
quire testing procedures identical as to kind and number.
That the Soviet Union dares to insult the world's in
telligence with this proposition, even as transparent
propaganda, indicates how little the Kremlin has really
changed. What hope now can be held out for success
in the test ban talks beginning Oct. 31 in Geneva? :

Usually they emerge in the news only in tynes of

Almost as a routine item, the news wires are giving
the details of how helicopters came to the aid of a
stricken ship in the South China Sea. 'Copters from
the U.S. cruiser Helena rescued 116 passengers.
It was the biggest helicopter rescue so far and an
encouraging indication ot achievements coming in the

MOSCOW (UPH What Nikita
Khrushchev calls a holiday would
seem, tu the ordinary Russian
hardly distinguishable from the
everyday working routine.
For two months, the Soviet
leader has been resting ,at gov
ernment dachas (villas) on the
Black Sea near Yalta and Sochi.
Some people may think that for
the Communist Party chief and
premier of a new power such as
Russia, this is an unusually long
vacation.
Actually, ever since he depart
ed for the south in mid-August,
Khrushchev has combined relaxa

in the-sea,' sunbathing and strolls
in the countryside, he has contin

LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Back
stairs at the White House:
As President Eisenhower tours
the country, he runs into new
signs along, the highways over
which his motorcades proceed.
One now addition to Ins vast col
lection of roadside greetings was
outside Salina, Kan., where a
group of young .military school
cadets were drawn up in as stiff
attention as their excitement of
the moment would permit.
Their ign said: Hi, sir.
When tho President stopped al
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he just
woman t let well enough alone and
now he realizes that some myster
ious fate will keep him on his diet
whether he likes it or not.
The President was leaving a
tent ot the national corn picking
contest and spied a big cake which
proclaimed "Welcome Ike" in
white and yellow icing.
i just can t leave, be said.
"without a piece of that wonder
ful looking cake."
Whereupon one of the hostesses
cut n big slab and handed it to
him. He took It gingerly with om
hand and attempted to sign c
lady's autograph book with tin
other hand.
Several other ladles showed up
with papers to be autographed and
the President was hemmed in. A;
he tried to do everything at once,
the cake seemed to explode and lit
started to drop It, then grabbed
for it.
A cascade of icing fell over his
gray suit. He grabbed for out
stray bit of cake and got ieinp
up his sleeve. Finally, he had It
step away from the ladies and
dust himself off.' But not without
leaving a few telltale spots.

week in Ills oia Hometown m not

Early in September, Khrush
chev interrupted his vacation and
returned to Moscow to preside
over a session of the central
committee on economic affairs.
Several days , ago, he left his
dacha in the picturesque moun

Stavropol where lie awarded the
region the Order of Lenin for
agricultural . achievements. Dis
playing his customary energy and
colorful language, the premier
addressed a large assembly of
collective farmers, praising them
for their contribution to the 1053
record grain harvest.
.Khrushchev urged the farmers
to redouble their efforts, and pre
dicted the Soviet economy will
undergo . "an unbelievable" ex
pansion during the forthcoming
seVQii-year plan.
He said that when figures for
the plan are published "the whole
world will be amazed at the pro

WASHINGTON (UPI) Re

Rights Fight Out In Open
WASHINGTON (UPI) ThelFla.i, in charge of the campaign
Domocrats' smoldering civil! to elect Democratic senators Nov.
rights fight broke into the open
Monday with a blunt invitation by
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler to anti-civil rights
Democrats to quit the party.
Butler, interviewed Sunday on
ABC-TV's "College News Confer
ence," said the racial issue re
quires "moral leadership" and
predicted there will be "no com
promise" on a strong civil rights
stand in the Democratic platform
in 1960.
"Those in the South who are
not deeply dedicated to the phi
losophies of the Democratic Par
ty will have to go their own
way," he declared. . ."If they
don't want to go along on the ra
cial problem and the whole area
of human rights, then I think
they are going to have to take
political asylum wherever they
can find it, either in the Republi
can Party or a third party.,. .
"I would say anyone who is
unwilling to accept the platform
of the Democratic Party in 1060,
and anyone who is going to stand
up in America today and say,, we
are going to resist the decisions
of the Supreme Court, and we
shall not recognize the principles
of law and order upon which this
nation exists, then I certainly
would hope they would take leave
of the Democratic Party.

speeches of the 1958 congressional
contest. His first speech, in Los
Angeles tonight, was billed as a
"hard - hitting, recital oi tne
record" of his administration
The President's speeches this
week, to be carried over regional
TV networks, will push the cam-
Daian into its climactic stage in
which both parties will be
throwing jill they have into the
most critical states.
Former President Truman, the
4, promptly accused Butler- of di
viding the Democratic Party at a
time when its primary need is
unity. .
"I think the time has come
when the chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee should
start spending his time pointing
up the unity of the Democratic
Party rather than its division,"
Smathers told United Press Inter
national in an interview.
"A leader is supposed to gather
his forces, not divide them. I
think his (Butler's) time would
be better spent assisting our can
didates to get elected than this
continued pontificating about
what's, going to happen in 1960.
"What we need is unity, not di
viders. What we need are peace
makers, not agitators."
From other highly-placed Dem
ocratic sources came the sugges
tion that the time is near at hand
when Butler should be replaced
by a national chairman capable
of healing the Democrats' civil
rights split rather than inflaming
it. Some influential Democratic
quarters, notably the party's con
gressional leadership, have made
no secret of the fact that they
bold Butler in something consid
erably less than high esteem.
However Butler's strong civil
rights stand will find supporters
also within the Democratic Par
ty. Some powerful Northern Dem
ocrats feel their party must take
an unequivocal pro-civil rights
stand if it is to prevent further
loss of Negro votes and capture
the presidency in 1960.

For Sale: Theater, Pavilion
At Brussels World Fair
By WILLIAM ANDERSON
BRUSSELS (UPI) Want to buy
a theater at the Brussels World
Fair?
It's going cheap because so far
U.S. Commissioner. General How
ard Cullman cannot even give it
away.
Along with the huge, round U.S.
pavilion, the theater is valued at
six million dollars. They have
both been offered to the Brussels
City Council as an outright gift
now that the fair, which closed
Sunday, is over.
But the council has not accepted
so far. They reckon the pavilion
would cost too much to trans
form and keep up. Tfiey don't
want the theater because the
theaters in Brussels are half em;
ty in normal times and this one
situated in the world fair grounds
five miles from town would prob
ably be a costly white elephant.
So the most modern theater in
Europe will probably be snatched
up by some scrap metal dealer
for a song.
This is typical of the giant rum
mage sale which got under way
Monday.

Democrats' most active cam-
paigner, returns to the stump
Tuesday for a series of East
Coast appearances which will
have him crossing paths with
Vice President Richard M. Nixon,
busiest campaigner for the GOP.
The sharpened pitch of the final
two weeks of vote - seeking was
presaged Sunday by the rival
party chairmen.
GOP National Chairman Meade
Alcorn, referring to the Demo
crats as "the party of the left
wingers and appeasers," said the
President would be "consistently
undercut, sniped at and sabo
taged" in dealing with Commu
nists and preserving peace if a
"big Democrat Congress" ' s
elected Nov. 4.
Democratic Chairman Paul U.
Butler asserted a larger Demo
cratic majority in Congress would
mean "return to bipartisanship in
forming our foreign policy.'" lie
said a Democratic majority "will
not attempt. to create pressure"
to change the administration's
Far Eastern policy.
The Democrats still confidently
expect to increase their present
slim majorities in both houses in 1
the Nov. 4 balloting. Butler has
previously predicted an increase
of 8 to 12 Democratic senate
seats and 40 to 60 in the. House.
Sunday night he said it would be
"closer to 12. than 8, or even
beyond 12" in the Senate and -"probably
50 . rather han close to
40" in the House.
Other political developments:.
Butler openly invited Southern
Democrats who don't agree with
the Supreme, Court's school in
tegration ruling to quit the-Democratic
Party and join the GOP or
form a third party. Sen. George
A. Smathers (D-Fla.), chairman
of the Senate Democratic Cam
paign committee, accused Butler
of dividing the Democrats 'when
they needed unity. There were (re
ports that efforts will be- made
before long to oust Butler from
his party chairmanship.
A group of liberal Democrats
headed by A. A. Berle Jr. of New
York is seeking contributions for
liberal Democratic, Senate candi
dates on grounds they are not
getting it from party headquar
ters. An official spokesman for
the Senate Campaign Committee
denied it had tunneled party funds
to Southerners and conservative
Democrats and withheld them
from liberals. ' 1 . -
Butler scored a weekend pro
posal by Commerce Secretary
Sinclair Weeks that a sales tax
be imposed 'at the manufacturers'
level. Butler said the Democratic
Party "will not take the tax load
off of business and shift it to the
shoulders of the consumers."
