Nuclear Testing..
The Russian Move
Khrushchev's announced intention to
shoot off some super nuclear bombs, in
effect breaking the long moratorium on
nuclear testing, brings several thoughts
to mind:
1. A nuclear test ban agreement could
have beena small but reassuring first step
toward disarmament. Reassuring for RusNow Khrushsia, the U.S., all peoples.
chev has unreasonably flown off higher
thana kite, beset--as Sen. Humphrey puts
it--by a severe case of international jitters.
2. President Kennedy's restraint in holding offa resumption of testing by the U.S.
has paidoff. This shouldbe agood lesson
tothe hotheads in Congress and elsewhere,
who have been shrilly calling for U.S.
testing for the past several months.
ly on Russia.
3. By threatening to display her giant
bomb, Russia is obviously trying to scare
the U.S., the Western allies, and the
smaller nations into settling international
disputes, including Berlin, en Russia's
terms. It may be that some will be frightened and silenced. Most will not be, for
most recognize the obvious propaganda
nature ofthe Russian move: strategically,
there is no need for a super, 100-megaton
bomb. Twenty-megaton bombs, such as
Russia and the U.S. both possess, are
adequate to destroy any enemy and half
the world in the bargain.
4. Russia's disregard and contempt for
“world opinion" has been shown before,
notably in the-Hungarian revolt. It is:
nothing new. However Khrushchey's datest
pronouncement, made just before the opéning ofthe conference of neutral nations in
Yugoslavia, hasa paranoid quality reminiscent of Hitler. And therein lies the danger. We cannot be sure than Russia's
boundless, pitiful sense of inferiority will
not cause her to start a fight, like the
undersized little boy who has to show the
neighborhood how tough he is.
5. There is no need for America to join
in the Russian game of bluff and bluster.
We should test atomic weapons if, militarily, we really have a reason to do so.
We shouldnottest if we are doing so only
to match Russia's little-boy attitude.
Furthermore, we should calmly put into
operation President Kennedy's plan fora
federal Disarmament Agency (which has
received the endorsement of President
Eisenhower, Ambassador Lodge, and many
others in both parties), Only by backing
our proclaimed peaceful intentions with
thorough, practical disarmament proposals
such as this agency could help provide,
can we be effective in turning the world
away from its nuclear collision course
6. Russia may have suffered a progaganda loss asaresult of its nuclear testing decision, but Russia has not lost much
else during the past week. The cold war
goes on. The Russian-American competition for the economic allegiance of the
undeveloped countries continues. A starving man in Chile or Brazil cares little and
knows less about who is testing bombs,
He is looking for food and work and an
improvement in his family's sad condition.
Communism's appealtosucha man is still
strong. We cannot be diverted for a moment from our concern for his plight.

FORGET YOUR WORRIES IN SIERRA CITY
Sierra City, California's unique fun
town only one and one half hours from Nevada City, at the end of the Northern
Mines, on highway 49, across all the Yuba
Rivers, nestled under the snow capped
towering Sierra Buttes. No matter what
you seek on your day off, on the week end,
or your vacation be it history, a rainbow
trout, a four pointer, a brown bear, elder
berries, wild plums, gooseberries, good
neighbors you'll find them all in Sierra
City.
Sierra City is the last of California's front porch towns,
Along its main street, homes and business establishments
are side by side. Old-fashioned flowers lke hollyhocks
and petunias bloom merrily near where che owners sit in
the evening hours, front porches full of rockers and easy
chairs. Vacationers--from garbage collectors, Federal
judges, school teachers and private secretaries--return
year after year. They know that only in Sierra City will
identities become lost and within minutes they are just
natives, with everybody on a first name basis, They can
camp, fish andhunt, whoop it up on Saturday night, and
gotothe church of their choice on Sunday morning. For
you who want to build a little nest, somewhere in the
West, and let the rest of the world go by, Sierra City is
your cup of tea or your martini.
