Last summer Congress was convinced that the Yugoslavs, despite massive injections of U.S. aid ($1 billion since 1949), were cozying up to the Kremlin. Under Knowland's prodding a rider to the Mutual Security Appropriation Act banned any new military assistance to Marshal Tito in fiscal 1957 except for maintenance and spare parts. Congress also stipulated that the Administration cut off all aid authorized in previous years and still "in the pipeline," e.g., some $100 million in military hardware, including some 300 Sabre-jet fighter-bombers. The cutoff could be waived if two conditions were met: i) that...
...years there is every reason to take the Russian proposal seriously. Considering the improvement in the Communist attitude towards disarmament, the Supreme Soviet's call for a conference no longer seems completely suspect. Although the Administration, which is deeply committed to the tests, may fail to respond to the Kremlin's challenge, the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy should not let the opportunity pass...
...original notion behind NATO's inception was the establishment of a deterrent military force which, in the event of war with the USSR, would give the U.S. Strategic Air Command time to strike one deadly, retaliative blow which would presumably bring the Kremlin to its knees.

By proposing an agency to facilitate peaceful use of atomic energy in 1953, President Eisenhower gave the United States a lead in the propaganda peace race which now may pass into the hands of the Kremlin. For the Senate might not accept the statute embodying Eisenhower's proposal. If the agency is created without American participation, Russia will have a concrete claim to the eminence in sharing in the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Even if the proposal fails altogether, other countries may begin to look to Russia...
...moved to capitalize on this uneasiness among the world's free nations. In London, Valerian Zorin, Russian delegate to the U.N. Subcommittee on Disarmament renewed the Soviet "offer" to abandon H-bomb tests if the U.S. and Britain would do likewise. As usual, however, the men in the Kremlin were working both sides of the street. Two days before Zorin's statement, the Russians exploded a nuclear weapon of their own. It was the fifth (and one of biggest) Russian nuclear explosion in two weeks-explosions which, by curious coincidence, came hard on the heels of Soviet threats...
