It is unfor tunate simply op b e c a use the President decided, on his own hoek and before the Prime Minister got here, to do just about what Macmillan wants him to do. Hence Macmillan's intervention will mainly tend to make an independent de cision look as though it has not been independent. Thus another needless complication will be added to a painfully complicated business. The decision the President has reportedly taken is to accept, at least in principal, the latest Soviet proposal for a comprehensive ban on nu clear tests. Agreement must also be reached with the So viets on several other hotly disputed points. But the Eis enhower decision at least re solves the seemingly irrecon cilable conflict over under ground tests too weak to be detected by an inspection system. If all goes well, detectable tests will now be banned by a formal treaty, providing a full inspection system. And undetectable tests will also be banned by a simple agree ment to continue the existing test-moratorium for at least : ' I g JUiii&mmaimmiL- ..vr..w.-.ii trilj G or In Fine Whiskey. . .

BLENDED HISKSY 0 PROOF 65 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS THE iLHSHf ABU DISTILLING CORPORATION, NEW YORK CITY another year, while the scien tists tinker with their detec tion methods. THE pros-and-cons of this intricate-device of a treaty-plus-an-agreement were hotly debated before a decision was reached. Prime Minister Mac millan in fact invited himself to Washington, because, at one moment, it looked as though the victory would go to those who wished to reject the So viet proposals out of hand. The debate produced the op posite result after Macmillan had packed his bags, so to say, and before he arrived in America. The pattern of the debate is still worth study, because of the strong light it sheds on the recent evolution of the Eisenhower administration. To begin with, even the opposi tion struck a new note. For mer Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, Admiral Lewis Strauss, literally op posed any kind of ban on nuclear tests. The new Chair man, the able John McCone, favors a ban that can be in spected and enforced. But Mc Cone fought the agreement to continue the test moratorium, because such an agreement will cover tests which cannot be detected by the inspection system. Then too, a crucial role was played by the new civilian leaders of the Pentagon, Sec retary of Defense 1 Thomas Gates and Deputy Secretary James Douglas. The Pentagon used to feel as much distaste as the A.E.C. for any ban on nuclear tests. But Gates and Douglas now cast favor able votes. This is one of sev eral recent and important in dications that these two men are quietly bringing a new light into the Eisenhower ad ministration's self- created caves of darkness and winds. Finally, the President's de cision was a major victory, in a very personal sense, for Secretary of State Christian R. Herter. Herter led the fight for the. affirmative, construc tive approach. He was the spearhead of his side in the argument. And even after the argument seemed to be going pretty badly, as Macmillan's hasty journey proved, Herter got his way in the end. THIS was all the more note worthy, because it was a repeat performance. In the long period of humiliating in decision about this country's policy on general disarma ment, Herter played exactly the same effect. When the Coolidge Com mission turned in its report, in effect recommending that the United States could not support any kind of disarma ment except fake - disarma ment, it was Herter who se cured the report's rejection. He then fought for an affirma tive, constructive approach through week after week of inter-departmental committee meetings. And although the final decision took on uncon scionable time to reach, Her ter got his way in the end. Herter's recurring advocacy of sensibility and affirmative ness in dealing with the So viets by no means implies a lack of firmness. When the Soviets played their tricks with the passes of the Western Military liason group at Pots dam, the Secretary of State was the first to insist on a firm response. Again, when the Pentagon said that high altitude flights to Berlin were "an operation al necessity," the Secretary 0 33ff& DAINCOATS on phone ines do a better job of scaling out karmful moisture.

The investment advisory firm says that during all but five of the last 22 election years, stocks have sold higher in August than the low for June. Furtherwore, the firm adds, stocks have sold higher in November or December than the low , in October in every election year except 1884 regardless of which party won. Prospects favor . Borg-War-ner whose product line has sufficient depth to afford fa vorable participation of . the general business development of the economy, says the Filch Survey. The housing picture is not as bleak as it may appear, ac cording to Investors Advisory Institute. "Essentially, the current slump has been due largely to the effects of tight money, which has caused a shortage in the supply of mortgage funds. However, re c e n t developments in the money market suggests that a pick up in housing starts could occur soon," the insti tute adds. Narcotics Peddler Given 45 Years Los Angeles-ftlPD-A 33-year-old convicted narcotics pedler, Henry Joe Ponce, Monday was sentenced to 43 years in pri son by a federal judge who said Ponce preyed on the ignorant. ' - Described as a leading sup plier of Mexican-grown her oin to southern California, Ponce was covicted March 16 of three counts of selling heroin. When his attorney protested the sentence, U.S. District Judge Ernest A. To lin said he was "kicking my self for not making it 60. If I gave him a short sentence, he would be out on the street peddling again." of State took the lead in se curing the allied agreement that high altitude flights would be ordered. The flights were not ordered, solely be cause the civilian leaders of the Pentagon took another look at the operational facts, and saw that the alleged necessity did not exist. In short, what can only be called a Herter style of policy making is beginning to be fairly clearly- discernible. It is a pretty impressive style, too. Copyright 1960, Ntw York j Herald Tribun Inc.
