...Japanese also detect the hand of the Chinese in the affair. Just before the cancellation, a high Rumanian party official named Emil Bodnaras returned to Bucharest from a visit to Peking. Reportedly he brought word of a deep Chinese suspicion that Sato would try to score some points in Japanese domestic politics by getting Ceausescu to act as his go-between in Peking, which has turned aside Sato's efforts to improve Sino-Japanese relations. The result has been ill feeling in Tokyo, embarrassment in Bucharest, and no doubt satisfaction in Peking...
Sophisticated new X rays can scan bags without damaging even a roll of film, but they cost $100,000 apiece. The more practical magnetometers, ranging from $800 up to $8,000, detect any kind of metal from a traveling clock to a bra's metal hooks and eyes, and bags would still have to be opened for complete examination. To do that with every piece of luggage going aboard a Boeing 747 would mean passenger check-ins hours earlier than at present. That would eliminate the speed and convenience which are any airline's selling points...
Concert of Powers. One Japanese concern exceeds all others. Since the four other members of the President's concert of powers are already nuclear, the Japanese detect an implication that eventually they are to go nuclear as well. That prospect frightens Asia. It has also put Tokyo at a disadvantage with Peking, which has been able to make life extremely uncomfortable for Premier Eisaku Sato's government by playing on Asian fears of Japanese remilitarization. As Peking is aware, no one is more worried about nuclearization than the Japanese themselves. Such a step to them spells continued hostility...
...known to be working on a 50-megaton missile (the biggest U.S. weapon is the 5-to 10-megaton Titan II). Toughest of all will be any attempts to write detailed limits on the improvement of existing weapons, especially since such changes are difficult to detect without on-site inspection-something the Kremlin has always adamantly opposed...
...future progress in arms limitation may well be the confidence each nation has in its ability to detect violations by the other. Both have agreed on an "open skies" policy of non-interference with observation satellites. These are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but whether they can detect how many warheads hide within a missile may remain an uncertainty beclouding the outcome of SALT...
