...TEST BAN: Khrushchev has indicated that he would revive Russia's 1961 terms for a test ban, which included a voluntary moratorium on underground detonations, without effective controls. This proposal was rejected by the U.S. at the time. Then, last year, Russia offered to permit three inspections of its territory yearly by way of policing an underground ban. Moscow subsequently reneged, Khrushchev now insists that Russia will never "open its door to NATO spies," and that "this is no subject for bargaining."

In the United Nations, the nonaligned Irish -led by Ambassador Frederick Boland, who was President of the General Assembly in the time of Khrushchev's shoe-banging tantrum-are universally respected. In the Congo, where 5,000 Irish troops have served-and 26 died -with the U.N. peacekeeping mission, their probity and discipline command the admiration of Africans and Belgians alike. The experience has added a new term of abuse to the Irishman...
