Questions
When Hall S. Lusk became a member of the
Oregon supreme court, he took an oath which
said:
"I, Hall S. Lusk, do solemnly swear that I will
support the Constitution of the United States, and the-
Constitution of the State of Oregon, and that i. I will r
faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of . "a
Judge of the Supreme Court of this; state according to .
the best of my ability, and that I. will not accept any j'
other office, except judicial offices,' during , the 'term,
for which I have been elected." ?
The oath is spelled out in the state constitu
tion. It was contained in the original constitution
of 1857, and reaffirmed by a vote of the people
in 1910 when other provisions of the same article
were changed bv initiative netition. '
THE question has arisen, how could Judge Lusk,
in view of that oath, have accepted appoint
ment as a United States Senator?
It's a good question, one which the editor of
the Coos Bay World has been pursuing.
. The" justification is contained in the fact that
the United State Constitution takes precedence
over the Oregon Constitution, and that a court
case some years ago

1IVI0ST people (including Maurine Neuberger,
and, for what it's worth, this newspaper)
concede that Judge Lusk is a man of the ability,
honor and integrity, and
pointment.
But the fact that Governor Hatfield, by mak
ing the appointment, and
ing it, violated the intent ot the Uregon Con
stitution, leaves uncomfortable questions unre
solved. . Does the Constitution mean what it says? Can
an appointment, under the circumstances, be
justified? Does a court decision absolve anyone
from observing a solemn oath he has taken?

Matter of Fact
Washington - It is well
worth taking a look at the
real reasons why President
Eisen h.o w e r
and Secretary
of State Her
ter decided to
go a long way
to meet' the
Soviets, in the
negotiat ions
for a ban on
nuclear tests.
These u n-
joseph alsop sponen r e a-
sons begin -with Secretary
Herter's strong instinct that
the continuous, competitive
development of nuclear and
other modern weapons is an
automatically dangerous busi
ness. This does not mean that the
Secretary is not an advocate
of a strong national defense.
Far more than his predeces
sor, the late John Foster Dul
les, Herter believes in . the
Churchillian rule, "arm to ne
gotiate." But Herter also be
lieves, very clearly, that hu
man wisdom may not always
be sufficient to control the
situation, if the great powers
go on piling more and more
terrible instruments of ; de
struction on the stocks of
such instruments which they
already possess.
Those who hold this belief
may be skeptical of the fruit
fulness of disarmament nego
tiations. Herter and the oth
ers like him would have to
forget the whole history of
the last half -century in order
not to be skeptical.
THEY may also insist, as
Herter insists, that the dis
armament scheme must be
fully controlled and inspected.
But they still feel a moral
compulsion to TRY to nego
tiate for disarmament.
They think the1 effort has
to be made, however toilsome
and hopeless it may seem, be
cause they also suspect that
if the world goes on as it has
been going, the world may
blow itself up by accident.
And this suspicion that the
world may end by blowing
itself up by accident also af
fects the way they weigh ne
gotiating risks.
In the present instance, for
example, Secretary Herter
was ready to risk agreement
with the Soviets on a one
year moratorium on undetect
able underground nuclear
tests, because he thought the
risk of such an uninspected
moratorium was less than the
risk of a rigid attitude.
The chief reason for this
judgment, in turn, was the
unanimous advice of the gov
ernment Soviet experts, both
in Moscow and in Washing
ton. All of them advised that
the negotiations for a ban on
nuclear tests had now reach
ed what the policy-makers
caU "the litmus paper stage."
IN OTHER words, the So
viets were expected to con
clude that this country was
not negotiating in good faith,
if we rejected out of hand
the Soviet proposal for an in
spected treaty covering , de
tectable tests, plus an agree
ment for a moratorium f on
tests that are as yet undetect
able. This 'would have led to
final break-down of the nego
tiations for a nuclear test ban.
And this, in turn, would have
aborted our effort to- nego
tiate for general disarmament,
before that effort could really
get under way. '
The "litmus paper" argu
ment was strongly, reinforced
by a more general political
argument. In brief, - the So
viet experts think there are
even deeper divisions of opin
ion in the Kremlin than in
Washington, about such ques
tions as the gain from disarm
ament versus the loss from an
inspection system. ,1
The Kremlin majority must
plainly support, or at least
tolerate, the relatively flexi
ble policy of Nikita S.
Khrushchev. But it is sup
posed that there is a Krem
lin minority of orthodox Stal

inists, who still want to re
turn to the old ways of doing
business, or rather of not do
ing business, with the West.
CURIOUSLY enough, one of
the most important bits of
factual evidence for the di
vided-Kremlin theory was
brough back from Moscow by
Secretary Herter's chief op
ponent in the recent intra-
administration debate, Chair
man John A. McCone of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
On a very high-level indeed,"
McCone was told that the So
viet government was split be
tween a majority genuinely
desiring agreement with the
West, and a minority wanting
nothing of the sort. Many of
the difficulties in the test ban
talks at Geneva were even
attributed to the fact that the
Soviet negotiator, Semyon
Tsarapkin, belonged to the
hard-nosed minority.
If this is the situation in
the Kremlin, the turning
point that has just been pas
sed was ultra-important. For
the hard-nosed minority must
be eager for proof that the
United States has not been
negotiating in good faith. If
we had given them anything
they could use as such proof,
their "I told you so's" would
have been deafening. Their "I
told you"'s would have been
convincing, too. The hard
nosed minority would then
have become a hard-nosed ma
jority. Such, at any rate, is the
best crude summary that can
be offered of the main rea
sons for the great decision
that has now been taken. It
is not a soft decision. It is
simply a decision that refuses
to rule out any hope what
ever of a less dangerous
world-of-the-future.

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter
A Treaty in Sight
There is now a good chance
that a treaty and a voluntary
agreement prohibiting nu
clear tests
will be ready
for . signature
at the summit
May. Some
specific points
have still to
be -negotiated.
But on the
main issues
K o t o . ic " nrt
Lippmann longer any
important disagreement. '
About ten days ago the
Soviet government accepted,
with one condition, the pro
posal made last month by the
President. It agreed that the
treaty should cover only test
explosions which can be mon
itored. This means all the ex
plosions which . pollute the
air. -r
The condition attached to
this acceptance of the Eisen
hower proposal is that for a
period of years, perhaps four
or .five, there shall be a vol
untary agreement not. to make
small underground test ex
plosions which are not yet
prohibited by treaty. During
this moratorium there would
be, as the President first pro
posed, joint scientific studies
to improve the existing moni
toring devices.
-The President is ready to
accept the principle of this
moratorium. But for obvious
constitutional reasons he is
not able to agree to the four
or five year moratorium
which the Russians want. He
has no legal power to bind
his successor, and the most
that he can do is to obtain
promises to maintain a short
er moratorium from Mr. Nix
on and the leading Demo
cratic candidate. This ought
to satisfy " Mr. Khrushchev,
For if the joint studies are
carried out with energy and
sincerity, there will be no
serious doubt that the mora
torium will be extended fur

Reds' Unreliability Seen Cause
Of Need for Cheat-Proof Part
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
If the 10-nation disarma
ment conference in Geneva
Lippmann
stand on it during the elec
tion campaign. In all likeli
hood, barring unforeseen de
velopments, the treaty will be
popular, for the risks are
very small, and the gain may
be very great.
What are the risks? There
is no risk at all that the big
explosions p r"o h ib i t e d by
treaty could be carried out
in secret. The treaty itself
provides for a network of
monitoring stations. But even
more important, so it seems
to me, is the fact that we
are now capable by . our own
instruments, of detecting the
kind of explosion which the
treaty would prohibit. We are
able, so to speak, to monitor
the monitors, to check-' and
to double check.
WHAT : about the smaller
underground explosions
which' would not "be prohibit
ed by the treaty but which
would be suject to a short
m o r atorium? Theoretically,
since by definition they can
not be detected by existing
instruments,, the Soviets may
during the past year have
been conducting such under
ground tests. But no one
thinks the Soviet Union has
done this.
Why? Leaving out all con
siderations of good faith,
sneak tests would be very
dangerous. For while the sci
entists agree that the smaller
explosions underground can
not surely be distinguished
from earthquakes, it is also
true that they cannot surely
be concealed. The penalty for
cheating would be enormous.
What is more, for the Soviet
Union the" advantages from
cheating would be unimpor
tant. ' For the Soviet Union
has no big military interest
in perfecting the smaller nu
clear weapons. She has big
rockets to carry big weapons,
and a massive reserve of in
fantry for conventional war
fare. For the United States the
prohibition of small test ex
plosions is a concession. It
probably means that we shall
not be able to perfect beyond
their present state the small
er nuclear weapons. Congress,
no doubt, will study this thor
oughly. But so far as I can
make out, there are plenty
of fully informed and respon
sible people in the govern
ment who think that our ar
senal of weapons is already
very good indeed, and that
military perfectionism is not
a national necessity.
THE advantages of the
treaty and an agreement
can be measured only by
what would happen if they
failed. If, having come so
near to an agreement, the
three nuclear' powers quarrel,
the race in nuclear weapons
will not only be resumed but
it will be expanded. If we
three, who have nuclear
weapons, cannot agree to lim
it them, then all other powers
which wish to count in world
affairs must make or must
buy nuclear weapons. '
The critical country here
is not France or West Ger
many. The critical country is
China. For it has what Bri
tain, France,- and Germany
do not havej the basic char
acteristic of a true nuclear
power. This . is to have so
large a territory, that it can
hope to survive an attack.
If we look ahead, if we
take account of the great bal
ance of world force, we must
think it would; be a disas
trous folly not to become
aligned with the Soviet Union,
when there is a chance to do
so, against the spread of nu
clear weapons. .

Moon Gardening Tips
This feeling I have about
backyard agriculture is one of
the reasons why I was not
overwhelmed with gratitude
when an agent of the Republic
Aviation Corp. stopped by my
desk and deposited a press re
lease on "moon gardening."
The document contained a
progress report on the experi
mental "lunar farm" which
the company established at
Farmingdale, N.Y., last year
actually is to accomplish any
thing, it will
be necess a ry
first for the
United States
and its west
ern allies to
remind the
C o m m unists
of some hard
facts.
As the con
ference neared
vdii Mewsom
the end of its third week, East
and West had engaged in
some polite sparring without
concrete results.
Issues remaining the same:
The West demanding that
each phase of disarmament
be accompanied by cheat
proof controls,- and the Soviet-led
Communist bloc de
manding total' disarmament
now with controls later.
The West has two recent
tragic examples before it of
what can happen in any
agreement with the Reds un
enforceable guarantees. This
correspondent - was an eye
witness to onei of them, ' in
Korea.
Started Korean ' Talks
On July 10, 1951, at the
village of -Kaesong near the
38th parallel dividing North
and South Korea, United Na
tions forces headed by the
United States began negotiat
ing with the Communists an
armistice in the Korean .War.
Agreement was reached al
most exactly two years later.
A key provision banned all
reinforcement of troops,
equipment and aircraft.
At that time, the Commu
nist air force in North Korea
was non-existent. j
To enforce the terms,an
evenly divided four - nation
commission was set up con
sisting of Sweden and Switz
erland representing Western
or neutral nations and Poland
and Czechoslovakia represent
ing the Reds.
The Commission was ;
farce from the start. Aircraft
and war material poured into
North Korea in clear viola
tion of the agreement and
the Communist members , of
the Supervisory Commission
effectively vetoed any inves
tigation. j .
Reds Build Army ' '
Within four years, of the
armistice the Communists had
built up a North Korean army
of 400,000 men, plus an esti-:
mated 350,000 Chinese "vol
unteers" and a force "of hiin-r
dreds of combat aircraft in
cluding jet bombers. ,
By April of 1931, all pre
tenses had been abandoned
and the U.N. forces in Korea
were building up their own
