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

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

I Br FRANK JENKINS
During the past week, Fres-
ident Eisenhower announced
to the nation that our TOTAL
ECONOMY - meaning the!
value of goods and services
produced - lias reached the!
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.

TICKLISH TIME '

situation. Each
is hoping that

wiiii tontuil in this
business. 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-
