It is hard to decide whether a pact to - 1 1 -- 3 JULY 19 1961 exclude cities from' bombing would be a credit to man’s rationality or confirmation of his degeneracy Nonetheless informal talks have begun among western statesman to see what can be done to insure the survival of the world’s great urban areas in the event of nuclear war The attempt is born primarily of pessimism over the seeming hopelessness of reaching any comprehensive disarmament agreement with the Communist bloc If we must resign ourselves to the insanity of nuclear warfare it is argued maybe the antagonists can at least be sane enough to arrange beforehand to forego destruction of each others cities Military experts say there are also strategic reasons why such a pact should be possible The refinement if this word can be used of nuclear weapons obviates the need to attack urban areas Apparently the jest is no longer appropriate that the safest place in the next war will be in the infantry Recent developments in arms have made a nation’s forces in the field vulnerable as they have never been before For now they represent the chief target of attack The old concept of military attrition against supply centers no longer applies : Though discussions of this nature bear a nightmarish quality in view of man’s hopeless drift toward war something must be done to plan to save as many pieces of his civilization as possible If an agreement to protect our cities can be negotiated this would be better than to give up to complete Armageddon Withholding Justified Hollywood wakes up film censorship will Tax authorities have known for years that billions of dollars in interest earned on savings and dividends on stock never reached the tax return Because interest may accrue on savings almost without the depositor noticing it these amounts are easily overlooked In the same way a small investor may cash his dividend check and ' honestly forget about it come April 15 But if the administration has its way banks and dividend disbursing agents will deduct at the source a portion of these funds before"' they reach the owner’s hands The bill’s proponents claim this isbut the logical extension of withholding applied so successfully against wages and salaries Not so say opponents who damn the bill as a slander against the honesty of John Citizen It is further evidence by their argument of the “big brother” attitude of a paternalistic government But this latter seems a bit extreme For withholding has gained general acceptance And in view of estimates that nearly four billion dollars in interest and dividends earned last year went unreported the tax dollars lost to the treasury have now to be made up by others Obviously an unfair arrangement GT?N — 0 13 er?

money would be on the hard line’s triumph in the end The reason for this is certainly not the bellicose temper of the President Far from being bellicose he is obviously oppressed by the cruel weight of the decision he has been mulling over for so long He is also known to be worried about the danger of “painting Khrushchev into a corner” whence the Soviet boss will only be able to escape with his prestige intact by carrying out his warlike threats Hence if the hard line is adopted only the actions will be hard while the words used will be moderate In truth the real reason for betting on the triumph of the 'hard line is simply the difficulty its opponents are bound to experience in preparing an alternative program It is easy enough to warn about the dangers of “escalating” tensions and about possible desertion by various Western allies and so on and on But it is very difficult indeed to imagine any program of action except a program of hard action which will have the faintest chance of restoring the Western negotiating position at Berlin The best opponents of the bard line have been able to come up with to date has been a plan for economic sanctions against East Germany But the Moscow Embassy has already informed the President that Khrushchev expects and is fully prepared for just this kind of response to Ms challenge It will therefore do no good at all Unless something better is thought out it would appear that hardness might win if only by default said — Ogden had plunged into seven About 500 members of the Musdays of an exciting annual Pioneer icians’ Protective
