...possibility of a middle ground. Recently returned from the Geneva talks (TIME, Nov. 24), Tennessee's Democratic Senator Albert Gore, a member of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, urged his ideas on President Eisenhower. Gore's key point: the U.S. could test nuclear weapons underground, underwater or in outer space without danger of fallout and without sacrifice to security interests. At the same time, Gore said, the U.S. should unilaterally suspend tests in the atmosphere, not for one but for three years, as a psychological move in the cold...
...when he ordered U.S. nuclear tests stopped for one year without the U.S.'s twelve-year-old precondition of foolproof inspection (TIME, Sept. 1), did so again when he endorsed a test inspection system prepared by his scientific advisers which admitted that relatively small Russian underground blasts (less than five kilotons) could probably not be detected...
Just back from the fruitless U.S.-U.K.-U.S.S.R. nuclear test-ban talks in Geneva, Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore, member of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, formally recommended to the President that the U.S. continue tests of small-yield nuclear weapons underground and of nuclear weapons in outer space, e.g., antiaircraft or future antimissile-missile warheads to defend U.S. cities.

It is time now to turn from foe to friend...
...crisis' root was Argentina's oil problem. With coal supplies meager and hydroelectric sources remote, the nation runs on oil; it burns 250,000 bbl. a day to power factories, move trains, heat homes, cook food. An estimated 2.3 billion-bbl. oil reserve lies underground, but the government oil monopoly, Y.P.F., has only enough resources to produce 35% of the country's requirements. Dollar-short Argentina spent more than $300 million last year to import the rest. Frondizi saw only one solution. Risking the wrath of nationalistic Peronistas (and nationalists in his own Radical Party), he negotiated...
