The covenant provided lor the settling of disputes by peaceful means; developing their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack; pledging that an attack upon one would be regarded as an attack upon all, and to take necessary action to repel attack under Article I of the United Nations Charter. . . .? James Reston World Grop es Toward a New Unity New York Times Service - In the last few WASHINGTON rlavs, the French have finally accepted the idea of Britain joining Europe, the Chinese , have turned a more A-- ge- nial face to the outside world, the United States and the Soviet Union have agreed on a new formula for discussing the $200 billion arms Mr. Reston a year race, the moderates in Israel and the Arab states have been making some progress toward peace and even President Nixon and Lyndon Johnson have been meeting together in Texas and agreeing that, maybe after all, the course of history is moie important than anything else. Well, there is a lot of cynicism here about all this, but something interesting and significant seems to be happening in die world. The course of history in the largest sense is much more hopeful than the newspaper headlines. Despite all the arguments between the political parties, the races, and the nations, the elemental facts of life seem to be challenging and influencing the actions of all nations, at least in the advanced capitals of the Europe, which for so many centuries has guided the universe, is in a position to provide the necessary element of moderation and understanding in the heart of a world that is tending to split in half . . . Before a harmony of this sort can be achieved, there will first have to be an London and understanding between but of expanding intellectual horizons and personal loyalties. It has gone from loyalty to the family and thence to the clan, to the community, to the state, to the nation, and is now expanding once more. Paris. We are now beginning to see not only a new pragmatism among politicians at home and abroad a willingness to deal with the objective facts of war, industry, money, and pollution, and to see the interdependence of communities and nations in these fields but als a new and an wider patriotism among the young interest and concern for the common yearnings and sufferings of the human family. The news of recent days is therefore not merely politiria! bet philosophical on and historical. The compromises arms, the emergence of China, the diplomatic talks in the Middle East and the movement of Britain toward Europe these are only glimpses and symbols of the coming transition to a more orderly and unified world.

But the forces of life are more enduring than the lives and prestige cf even great men, and here is Pompidou taking a wholly different course. It will be a long time before the principle of interdependence is dominant in world or even in American politics. It has not even conquered localism in the United States today, but increasingly, and particularly with the thoughtful young men and women cf the rising generation in this country, it is a powerful and growing influence.

Tangible damage occurs to painted surfaces, clothing, planks and trees. On numerous occasions, we have men-tine- d that most pollution stems from too many people especially in our cities. Something must be done about overpopulation because more people means more users of transportation, electricity, warmth and other luxuries (and necessities) that require combustion, energy and power.

Mrs. Rob- - ' erts reports that to make lead-fre- e and d gasolines, the oil companies are simply taking some of the high quality ingredients out of the premium brands and putting them into the regular. Then, to make up the lost octane of the premium, they add more lead to it. For technical reasons they are adding more lead to the premium than they take out c! the regular, increasing the average lead content of all gas from the previous 2 grams per gallon to the current 2 and three-fourtgrams per gallon.

But since the days of the Berlin airlift, East Germanys wall, harassments to the flow of traffic on approaches to Berlin, the Russian threat to Western European nations is now considered to be much less ominous. Rather, the trend has been to building trade, improved cultural relations and agreements on arms limitations. Few foresee the possibility of another ground war in Europe owing to the nuclear capacity of both East and West. And few envision a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States since total destruction would be its only reward. So when Sen. Mansfield believes the time has come for a sharp reduction in presently costing our European forces us some $3 billion a year and contributing to our balance of payments deficit, there is considerable logic to the senator's views. Nevertheless, the ma jonty leaders coming as it timing can be criticized did on the eve of Russian proposals to discuss a mutual reduction which might a lor the sake of discussion permit 20 percent cut by both sides. As expected, former police chief Frank L. Rizzo of Philadelphia won a substantial victory for the Democratic mayoral nomination over Rep. William J. Green III and State Rep. Hardy W U- liams.
