Actually the President's defense and scientific advisers generally agree that the present situation of suspended testing, without any check on possible Russian underground or space explosions, is clearly unsatisfactory. At the year-old nuclear-test talks with the Russians at Geneva (resumed last week), the U.S. has made major concessions without getting any workable inspection agreement. Moreover, the U.S., in recalculating the results of its underground shot in October 1958, has discovered that underground explosions below 20 kilotons (about Hiroshima size) cannot accurately be detected by known seismographic instruments (TIME, Jan. 12).

Whatever happens in Algeria, Old Soldier Charles de Gaulle is determined to carry the army along with him. By artfully reassigning the principal military malcontents, by paying close attention to the military's fears and hopes, he has brought the army along to grudging acceptance of his offer of Algerian self-determination.

Apparently Gomulka hopes to seek his cure in a return to the doctrinaire methods of the Stalinists, but he can only do so at the grave risk of political upheaval. Many a loyal Gomulka supporter is beginning to grumble. One of them, 41-year-old Politburo Member Jerzy Morawski, one of Gomulka's closest lieutenants, turned in his resignation last week at news that the old tough crowd was back...
