...restless about having, as he saw it, too small a role in State Department decisionmaking. When the gossip about Herter's frustration broke out in the papers, Dulles began gradually turning over to Herter some broad sectors of responsibility: congressional relations, inter-American affairs, the Middle East, nuclear-test-ban negotiations. Even in these sectors, Dulles and the President still made the top-level decisions (sending troops to Lebanon, suspending U.S. nuclear tests for one year), but Herter handled the day-to-day conduct of policy. Herter, for example, drafted the directives for the U.S. test-ban negotiating team...
Arriving in Geneva last summer for a conference hopefully leading to a nuclear test ban, U.S. delegates began laying out a sweeping proposal. The West would agree to an indefinite year-to-year suspension of all nuclear tests provided that the Russians would agree to a reasonable control system under which international teams of inspectors could check all suspicious nuclear-sized blasts...
...proposal requires a quid pro quo and leaves nothing to guesswork. If Moscow really wants to end the peril of fallout (the Moscow test series last October gave North America the heaviest dose of radioactive material ever), it has no excuse for further delay. Meanwhile, as soon as the President lifts the ban on underground and space testing, U.S. planners can get on with sorely needed nuclear development (clean bombs, anti-missile missiles, compact Army and Navy weapons and pure-science experiments) at a time when such strength can be the tranquilizer for Communist-inspired tensions in Germany, the Mideast...
...heavyweight crew opens its season today on the Charles River against Syracuse, M.I.T., and B.U. amidst bright prospects; meanwhile the lightweight varsity faces Navy and M.I.T. at Annapolis in its second test...
...certainly in the best interests of both the United States and the Soviet Union to arrange a test ban of this nature and enforce it--not only here and in Russia, but in those countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain which will soon be developing nuclear weapons and wanting to test them. The danger, it would seem, lies in the possibility that if this compromise measure were adopted it would be that much harder to do away with nuclear testing altogether. It is to be hoped that Eisenhower's proposal will prove not only a much-needed first...
