...about having, as he saw it, too small a role in State Department decisionmaking. When the gossip about Herter's frustration broke out in the papers, Dulles began gradually turning over to Herter some broad sectors of responsibility: congressional relations, inter-American affairs, the Middle East, nuclear-test-ban negotiations. Even in these sectors, Dulles and the President still made the top-level decisions (sending troops to Lebanon, suspending U.S. nuclear tests for one year), but Herter handled the day-to-day conduct of policy. Herter, for example, drafted the directives for the U.S. test-ban negotiating team...
Arriving in Geneva last summer for a conference hopefully leading to a nuclear test ban, U.S. delegates began laying out a sweeping proposal. The West would agree to an indefinite year-to-year suspension of all nuclear tests provided that the Russians would agree to a reasonable control system under which international teams of inspectors could check all suspicious nuclear-sized blasts...
Last week in Geneva, U.S. Delegate James J. Wadsworth introduced the modification. This time, the U.S. proposed worldwide ban only on underwater and atmospheric blasts (from ground level up to 31 miles), which are principally responsible for fallout. Exempt from the ban: slight-fallout tests in outer space and underground. The ban would be enforced by eight to ten ground teams strategically located in Russia and by airplane air sampling when necessary. Coupled with this limitation on air and water tests was an invitation to Russia to join the U.S. in renewed underground tests. Object: to determine whether new detection...
Signed by Governor Furcolo on Wednesday, the bill prohibits landlords from discriminating on the basis of "race, color, creed, or national origin" in choosing tenants. The law, which applies to privately owned apartment houses with three or more units, extends the present ban on discrimination in publicly financed housing...
...certainly in the best interests of both the United States and the Soviet Union to arrange a test ban of this nature and enforce it--not only here and in Russia, but in those countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain which will soon be developing nuclear weapons and wanting to test them. The danger, it would seem, lies in the possibility that if this compromise measure were adopted it would be that much harder to do away with nuclear testing altogether. It is to be hoped that Eisenhower's proposal will prove not only a much-needed first...
