In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
From .Moscow this morning:
The U.S., Britain and the Soviet
Union signed today a historic test
ban treaty which they hailed as
an initial step toward ending the
cold war and guaranteeing peace.
With a quick signing ol names in
St. Catherine's Hall of the Krem
lin, they agreed to the first major
control pact between the East
and West since the end of World
War If.
Al the end, when all three had

Khrushchev, beaming with satis
faction, led those present in a
champagne toast to the future.
As they signed, the representa-i
fives of the three nations con
cerned each offered a comment
on the significance of what had
just occurred. Here are the com
ments: U.S. Secretary of State Rusk:
"It is a good first step. If, col
lectively, we and other nations;
pursue a course to insure that the1
forward momentum is maintained
by further steps, man's long,!
hopeful quest for peace will
cease to be only a dream and
will begin to acquire solid reali
ty." Soviet Foreign Minister Gro
myko: "The treaty may i.e the
way for other, more important,
, international problems, including
the problem of DISARMAMENT."
Britain's Foreign Minister Lord
Home: "The treaty is an im
portant breakthrough in the
arms race. Now there is a chance
to employ our great resources to
produce a more abundant life."
It sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
Almost too good to be true.
One can't help wondering how,
and why, it all came about.
And-
Especially
One can't help wondering why
Mr. Kroosh, who for years has
been talking about BURYING us,
has come around so suddenly to
this talk of getting along with us.
On that point, the AP's Bill
Ryan, who is usually very well
informed: has this to say:
"It is likely the Red Chinese
Soviet Communist split played a
part in bringing the partial test
ban about. Khrushchev's stated
policy with regard to world com
munism is that more flies can be
caught with honey than with vine
gar. "Peaceful coexistence, as he
sees it, weakens the political arm
or of the West, applies pressures
against Western governments and
creates a climate of trust for the
Kremlin in which communists can
operate more effectively. Warlike:
gestures, such as those indulged
in by Stalin, only tend to UNITE
the West."
Which is to say:
Old Kroosh may have decided
to use honey instead of vinegar.

well informed correspondent, says

In Korea
ALONG THE TRUCE LINE,
Korea 1UPI1 An American
Army patrol today exchanged
fire with Communist North Kore
an troops in the demilitarized
zone near the scene of last Mon
day's Communist ambush that
killed two Americans, the United
Nations Command 'UNO an
nounced. No casualties were reported on
either side in today's clash.
The UNC said the shooting took
place far south of the central de
marcation line Communist troops
are forbidden to cross and just
across the boundary of the de
militarized zone from South Ko
rean territory.
It was the first shooting ex
change reported since the last of
three fatal skirmishes s i x days
ago, although UNC troops have
fired at suspicious objects along
the truce line since then without
drawing return fire.
A UNC announcement said a
patrol of the first cavalry divi
sion met a Communist party at
5:02 a.m. today about 1.000 yards
east of the spot where a U.S.
Army Ninth Cavalry jeep was
ambushed one week ago.
"The location was just within
the southern tape boundary of the
demilitarized zone," the an
nouncement said. "There were
no reports of casualties."
A UNC spokesman said "there
was an exchange of fire" between
the two sides but said no further
details were available.
Four North Korean soldiers,
three American soldiers and one
South Korean policeman were
ki ed in the skirmishes last
week.

BLAZE IN CHECK This aerial view was taken Sunday by Dick Briggs, Herald and
News reporter, and shows smoke rolling through timbered country in the Tucker's

Informer Gives Full Details
On National Crime Syndicate
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Justice Department says it has
for more lian a year' been get
ting invaluable details on the op
eration of nationwide crime syndi
cates from a jailed mobster who
broke gangland's infamous bar
rier of silence.
A Justice Department spokes
man said the informer, identified
as Joseph Valachi of New York,
has given details of how crime
bosses operate a web ot vice
known as "Cosa Nostra." or "Our
Thing." He has been naming
names and has pinpointed crime
operations in 15 cities, the spokes
man said.
Valachi is expected to appear
later this month before the Senate
investigations subcommittee.
Details of what the Justice De
partment believes is a major
break in the war against organ
ized crime were first disclosed
Sunday in the Washington Star by
reporter Miriam Ottenberg. The
Justice Department later con
firmed the story.
The spokesman said Valachi.

killing a fellow prisoner in At

when he mistakenly thought the
man bad been sent by the syndi

Valachi began talking in June
of last year and has been under
super-tight security since then to
protect him from gangdom's exe
cutioners. His present where
abouts is a closely guarded
secret.
It is the deadly vengeance of or
ganized crime upon the informer
that has made cracking the syn
dicates so difficult. Although 60
known gangsters were arrested at
a plush rural home near A pa la
chin. N.Y., Nov. 14, 1957 in what
was known to be a summit con
ference on crime, none of the
participants would tell officers
any more than that they all hap
pened to drop in on the host, the
late Joseph Barbera, at the same
time because he was ill.

first inside information on the
crime meeting at Apalachin. Hejdicate when he was arrested in

Wirtz Holds
Rail Talks
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rail
road industry representatives met.
with Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz today in a renewed attempt
to settle the work rules dispute
through collective bargaining.
Wirtz called the meeting to dis
cuss his "suggestions" for a set
tlement which would head off a
nationwide strike now threatened
for Aug. 29. Union rcpresenta-l
tives stood by to meet with Wirtz
as soon as he completed his talk
with the industry representatives.
Intermittent meetings on the is
sue were held ot the Labor De
partment Saturday and Sunday.
A union spokesman said the ses
sions were designed to "clarify"
the suggestions, advanced by
Wirtz last Friday.
The spokesman said the sug
gestions contained the labor sec
retary's ideas on the two main is
sues in the dispute the necessity
of a fireman aboard diescl loco
motives and the composition of
the crew on switching and yard
trains.
The spokesman said Wirtz sug
gested areas which might be the
basis for renewed attempts to
negotiate a settlement of these
issues. Other sources cautioned,
however, against hope for a
quick settlement of the dispute.
An industry spokesman agreed
with this appraisal.
The railroads have taken the
position that only legislation can
solve the dispute. President Ken
nedy has proposed to Congress
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission be made the arbiter
but in testimony before the Sen
ate Commerce Committee, which
concluded hearings last week, la

First Major Treaty
Since End Of WW
MOSCOW (UPH The Unitediboth France and Communist
States, Britain, and the Soviet
Union today signed an historic
partial nuclear test ban treaty
which they hailed as an initial
step toward ending the cold war
and guaranteeing peace.
W ith a quick signing of names
in St. Catherine's Hall of the
Kremlin, the three nations agreedl
to the first major control pact be-j
tween East and West since the!
end of World War II.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
signed for the United States, for
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko
for the Soviet Union, and Foreign
Secretary Lord Home for Britain.
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev, beaming with satisfaction
joined in the drinking of cham-
the
signing.
After the ceremony the three
signers voiced their hopes for the
future in these words:
Rusk "A good first step. . .if
collectively we and other nations
pursue a course to insure that the
forward momentum of the agree
ment is maintained by further
steps, man's long hopeful quest
fur peace will cease to be only a
dream and will begin to ac
quire solid reality."
liromyko The treaty may
pave the way for the solution of
other, more important, interna-
tional problems, including the
problem of disarmament."
Home The treaty Is "an Im
portant breakthrough in the arms'
race. Now there is a chance to
employ our great resources to
produce a more abundant life.
Needs Senate Ratification
Although joining in the expres
sions of hope for the future, Rusk
pointed out that the treaty does
not end the threat of nuclear war.
"It does not reduce nuclear
stockpiles," he said. "It does not
halt production of nuclear weap-!
ons. It does not restrict their use
in time of war.
"It is, therefore, not possible
for us to guarantee what the sig
nificance of this act shall be.
History will eventually record
how we deal .with the unfinished
business of peace."
The treaty bans all nuclear
tests except those underground.
Before it becomes binding on the
United States it must be ratified
by the Senate, where favorable.
action is believed almost certain
The signing of the agreement
today sharpened still further the
split between the Soviet Union
and Red China on ideological is
sues. A complicating factor in
reaching further agreements is
bound to be the determination of
If
China to achieve their own nu
clear forces.
Signing Takes Minutes
The signing of the historic doc
ument took only a few minutes,
with three copies of the treaty
being passed around for signa
ture. Alter each signature was
affixed to the treaty which was
bound in vellum, an attendant
carefully blotted the signature.
There was barely time to es
tablish a television hookup be
tween Moscow and Western mem
bers of the Eurovision network.
The signing started even before
television transmission began.
United Nations Secretary Gen
eral Thant and the largo Ameri
can delegation which included
four Democratic and two Repub
lican senators, as well as U.N.
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
were among the observers. '.
After tlie signing, there was a
general round of handshakings A
round of applause and hand
shakes had followed each signa
ture. And then, with a small
army of diplomats, officials and
newsmen looking on, Khrushchev
led those present in a champagne
toast.
All the statesmen appeared in
good humor. Broad smiles lit the
faces of Khrushchev, Home and
Rusk as they shook hands after
me signing,
Khrushchev said last week tlie
treaty "should contribute to a
general relaxation of internation
al tensions and Rusk said on ar
rival Saturday he hopes it will be
a "turning point" in the cold war.
The foreign ministers will begin
talks Tuesday to find other issues
on which settlement might be
reached.
Attacked Treaty Opponents
Soviet Defense Minister Rodion
Malinovsky attacked Communist
China and American "wild men"
for opposing the treaty. But high-
level American sources here
warned that the United States
does not intend to relax its vigi
lance in dealing with the Soviet
Union because of the split be
tween Moscow and Peking.
The sources said U.S. policy is
not based on the supposition that
the two Communist giants will re
main apart. It is by no means
certain that they would not join
forces if cither were involved in
conflict with a non-Communist
nation, the sources said.
But the United States does feel
that tlie Soviet Union is "genu
ine" in its desire to avoid a nu
clear war, they added, indicating
this is behind Khrushchev's wish
to conclude the test ban treaty.
