Threats and Blackmail Khrushchev has tried threats against the western world. Today in Paris he also resorted to blackmail. An inspired "leak" by Communist sources that he in tended to sign a separate peace treaty with East Ger many this week was a move to force the western powers into concessions they have been refusing to make. Days before the Summit Conference was to start, west ern diplomats believed it was necessary for Khrushchev to return to Moscow with some sort of victory in his hand. If nn victory was possible, then it was better to have no summit at all. With his own position pos sibly at stake, it might also be better for Khrushchev to run the risk of a war over Ger many than run the risk of los ing his own head. Thus the insults to President Eisenhower and the demands which Khrushchev knew to be impossible in advance, that Ei senhower publicly apologize Workers Take Over Cuban Newspaper Havana TJPD Prensa Libre, Havana's last outspoken inde pendent newspaper, has been taken over by employees who refused to print an editorial denouncing ' what it called "the sinister international plot led by Russia against our oil."

Prime Minister Harold Mac- millan of Great Britain and 1 Matter of Fact joph i.op THE NUCLEAR GLIMMER Paris - Here in Paris, pre dictions of the intentions of Nikita S. Khrushchev strike every note :'j from belud- j diea optimism to Stygian despair. e t there is at least one piece of hard evidence as to the aims of the Soviet i . i, summit. Without public announce ment, the Soviets have con sented, at any rate in princi ple, to underground nuclear i explosions for research pur poses. Soviet consent to such explosions was obtained after President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan reached an un disclosed agreement, at their meeting at Camp David, that there was an absolute need for the additional data which further nuclear explosions un derground can be expected to provide. The undoubted facts, here revealed for the first time, ex plain several recent myster ies. First, they explain the President's recent statement that he would shortly order certain underground nuclear experiments for research pur poses, despite his prior agree ment with Khrushchev on a temporary moratorium on all kinds of nuclear tests. Second, they explain the strange fail ure of the Kremlin and the Macmillan government to at tack this apparently unilater al decision of President Eis enhower's. Adlai Stevenson and the British Laborites, who attached the President with great asperity, were speaking without knowledge of the background facts. rpHE facts that Stevenson - and the Laborites did not know are highly significant, for several different reasons. First, there is the simple rea son of timing. The Geneva conferees who are trying to negotiate a per manent ban on nuclear tests were the recipients of the So viet announcement that un derground explosions for re search were now approved. The chief Soviet negotiator, Semyon Tsarapkin, conveyed this new Kremlin decision on May 3. But the famous U2 fell or was shot down at Sverd lovsk on May 1. Thus Khrush chev had had two full days to mull over the stuff he later used to generate1 the U2 crisis, when his spokesman, through our door- jgT account today. l-ITHinii' Kabert f, Kyle, Manager rl 1 President Charles de Gaulle of France firmlv supported ; Eisenhower that all the con-j cessions that could be made) to Khrushchev in the incident i had been made. Tsarapkin, made hit move at Geneva. The second reason for at- j taching significance to Tsar- apkin s move is the fairly dra- malic alteration of the Soviet position. Previously any sug-i gestion of any nuclear explo- sions at all for any purposes whatever including pure re search, was enough to reduce Tsarapkin to a condition of well simulated apoplexy. The entire Soviet delegation, in cluding the scientists who should have known better, had combined to deny, most stoutly and obstinately, that there was the slightest need for further research. But since May 3. all that has been over. Third, one may assume that the intent of the Tsarapkin move was to avert deadlock in the nuclear test negotia ions, for the rather good rea son that it was needful to avert deadlock. This was be cause of another set of crucial facts, which were also appar ently unknown to Adlai Ste venson when he made his re cent speech on the subject. IN summary, most of the Geneva negotiations were I carried on, and the Geneva system of policing under ground nuclear tests was de vised, on the basis of wholly false scientific assumptions. Most importantly, the Geneva system for detecting under ground nuclear cheaters made no provision whatever for de tecting cheating by "decoup ling." This is the method of reducing the seismic shock of a nuclear explosion by de tonating the bomb in hard rock in a big underground hole, rather than in soft rock in a small hole. Hence the existing Geneva detection system is worthless, as was tragically revealed by the recent Congressional tes timony of all the leading American experts, including the chief scientific advocate of a ban on nuclear tests. Dr. Hans Bethe. In these circum stance, there is nothing to do except to launch an intensive program of scientific re search, to discover the least burdensome ways of improv ing the Geneva system. With out underground nuclear ex plosions to provide badly needed additional data, such a program of research must fail. In effect, then, Tsarapkin was agreeing to the need for the research program when he gave consent in principle of underground explosions for research. His consent in principle by no means solves the problem, it must be added. As suggested by the Americans, the explosions Tsarapkin has consented to will be joint enterprises, jointly supervised by Ameri can, Soviet and British scien tists. BUT how far, for example, can the host country's sci entists go, towards showing their guests the thing to be exploded? There are many such details to be arranged. The scientific negotiators are now discussing them at Gen eva, "in a good, businesslike atmosphere." Then too, even if the pro posed research program is safely launched on a joint basis, the millenium will still not be reached. For one thing, the majority of Amer ican experts are sadly in clined to agree with Dr. Ed ward Teller, who holds that improvement of methods of concealment must always out run improvement of methods of detection. For' another thing, even if methods of de tection are satisfactorily im proved, the resulting addi tions to the Geneva detection system are hardly likely to be acceptable to the Soviets. In short, Tsarapkin' move does not promise an early. permanent and dependably enforceable ban on nuclear tests. But at least it quite clearly implies that Khrush chev hopes to make progress in this area at the summit; and this implication, in turn, is in itself happy glimmer (c) 1960, New York Herald Tribune Ine, Body of Roseburg Climber Removed Roseburg-flTP-The body of Walter L.

HALF TRILLION DOLLAR milestone. That is to say: What the economists call our gross national product has arrived at the 300 billion dol lar mark. , IS that good? Well, it ii supposed to be very good. Three decades agol . . . back in the late 1920 s and 1 the early 1930 s . . . our gross national production was about 100 billion dollars. In 1959, it reached 480 billion dollars. President Eisenhower tells us it has now reached 500 billion dollars. So In terms of dollars We are presumably five times better off than we were 30 years ago. THAT sounds good. But there's a catch to it. The catch is how much the 1980 dollar will buy as coin pared to what the 1930 dollar would buy. On that point, let's consult an authority - Robert W. French, president of Tax Foundation, Inc., a non-political organization devoted to economic research, with par ticular attention to tax re search. In the April number of Tax Review, a publication issued by Tax Foundation, i Inc., Mr. French says: uuring the past 30 years we have come to accept infla tion as a way of life. Public officials, citizens and even some economists continue to delude themselves and others with dollar figures that dis tort our economic strength. our economic growth and our personal finances. 'Gross production reached 480 billion (inflation) dollars in 1959. about five times our production 30 years ago. BUT IN CONSTANT DOLLARS IT WAS ONLY ABOUT DOU BLE THE EARLIER FIG URE." TN other words: In terms of inflation "dol lars, our production has in creased five times in the past three decades - which sounds like a fabulous increase our well-being. But in terms of what Mr. French calls "con stant dollars,"by which he means actual physical produc tion, our economy has merely doubled instead ot increas ing fivefold. And In 1930, our national debt was only 16',z billion dollars. It is now nearly 290 billion dollars. Which is to say: While our gross production, as meas ured in inflation dollars, has Increased only five times in these last 30 years our nation al debt has increased 17 times. French thinks it is high ime to get back to what he calls fiscal responsibility in government. One finds it hard to disagree with him.

And there is. for each, an enormous opportu nity to gain in the November elections. In crude terms the position is this: The Republicans are in fear they may lose the "peace issue'" on which they had counted so much. The Democrats are in hope they may be able to wrest that issue away from Vice Presi dent Nixon, the prospective G.O.P. presidential nominee. The winning party in this grim contest is likely to be determined not so much by the wisdom of what it does as by the unwisdom of what the other party does. This is a time when the best possible politics may lie mainly in good, sound, creative inaction, mixed with a little bit of action taken only after a great deal of forethought. rpHE party that rushes bold- iy into this situation, hurl ing accusations and manifes toes right and left against the other is likely to rush itself right out of the victory col umn in November. The central problem for the Republicans is to strike a nice balance between supporting President Eisenhower, in the "Spy plane" episode and be yond, without tying Nixon ab solutely, totally and unalter ably to such parts of Eisen hower policy as may seem erroneous in November. The Democrats must strike a perhaps even more delicate balance. They must not seem to make two-bit partisan ad vantage of our present or future national embarrass ments. They must not, on the other hand, act as though they had no ideas of their own about cold war strategy. The Republicans will make a catastrophic mistake if they mortgage Nixon's whole fu ture, unquestionably and in advance, to every possible turn of the Eisenhower for eign policy line. Nixon must have some leeway for the campaign, particularly if by then the cold war has wor sened. HJiHE Democrats will make a fatal mistake if in their zeal to criticize the Repub licans they begin to sound as though they were running on a pro-Khrushchev, instead of a pro-Democratic, ticket. True, the Republicans made great headway in 1952 by ir responsibility over "Truman's War" in Korea. Such a course, however, will surely not rec ommend itself to the Demo crats this time, if only be cause the basic pre-conditions are wholly different. Then we were in a war which many wanted to end. Now we are in a peace-of sorts -which all hope lo keep. Most of the voters, however, will not believe that the best way to keep that peace Is to let the Russians walk all over our legitimate interests. Thus, the Democratic ne- mm C.
