But a remarkable number of show-me skeptics, foreign and domestic, are worried that the thaw may put the U.S. on even thinner ice in a cold war that has yet to end. Last week three experienced diplomatic weathermen contributed to a growing debate on the subject. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter pledged the Eisenhower Administration to careful negotiation and something called "co-survival." President Truman's Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, warned against the perils of negotiation.

...Suspension For 13 months President Eisenhower's Administration has imposed a voluntary ban on nuclear testing while negotiating with the Russians at Geneva on how to set up international controls-and the ban has been extended to Dec. 31. In U.S. atomic weapons laboratories and in the Pentagon last week, there were no doubts at all that the U.S. should get on with its testing program as soon as possible.
