HESTER'S DECISION
Wlshington-Unless appear
ances deceive, it is unfortu
nate that Prime Minister Mac-
m i 1 1 a n has
come to Wash
ington to talk
with President
E i s e nhower
about the ne
gotiations for
a ban on nu
clear tests.
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

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

Narcotics Peddler
Given 45 Years
Los Angeles-ftlPD-A 33-year-old
convicted narcotics pedler,

said Ponce preyed on the

Described as a leading sup

Ponce was covicted March 16
of three counts of selling
heroin. When his attorney
protested the sentence, U.S.

I gave him a short sentence,
he would be out on the street

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.
