In The- I Day's jfews By FRANK JENKINS In Washington this morning. U.S. Secretary of State Rusk urges the Senate to approve the nuclear test ban treaty and nrom- ises that President Kennedy will ABROGATE THE PACT OVER NIGHT if Russia should violate it added President Kennedy believes the Soviet Union WOULD violate the treaty if it felt that violation would serve its interests. At this point. Senator Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts asked why Russia agreed to the treaty in the first place (if she lias her lingers crossed and prepares to violate it at any moment when it seems to her lhat it would be to her interest to do sol. Secretary Rusk replied: "I believe the Soviets have concluded that it is to their in terest to do so. In the past year, the nuclear powers, for the first time, have had a look at nuclear exchange (meaning the exchange of nuclear bombs' as an operational matter. "in the Cuban missile crisis, man had a chance to look into the inferno." By that, presumably. Secretary Rusk means that in Cuba Presi dent Kennedy told Premier Khru shchev to GET HIS MISSILES OUT or we'd drop OUR missies on him. That, he indicated, took nucle ar warfare out of the academic field and brought it down to the field of ACTUALITY. Secretary Rusk told the Senate that the United States has not forgotten the lessons of its deal ings with Russia since the end of i World War II. Again we must draw our con-1 elusions as to what he meant by what he said. He didn't go into detail as to what he meant by his statement that we have not forgotten the lessons we learned about Russia in World War II. We must assume that he was referring to Russia's failure to live up to the promises she made to us as our ally. We learned then that Russia's promises arc not to be depended upon when a situation arises in which it will be to Russia's advantage to break her promises. Rut d-V :ile concluded- "Any marginal risks involved in the lest ban treaty are FAR LESS than those which would result if an unlimited arms race continues." So He was saying to the Senate, which must ratify the test ban treaty if it is to become bind ing upon us We will be belter of WITH a test ban treaty than without one.
