to head a new collective leader

In a radio-television address to :

new executive council which col

makes Sabry Prime Minister and
chit,! of government.
Also created, however, was a
presidency council headed by Nas
ser to have responsibility for
policy and over-all planning.
America's Only
Atomic Reactor Explosion
Blamed On Human Factor
WASHINGTON UP — Drawing
a control blade too far out of an
atomic reactor core was listed
Tuesday by the Atomic Energy
Commission as the cause of the
1961 reactor explosion in Idaho
that killed three men.
In its final report on the Idaho
Falls disaster an AEC investiga
tion board said it could only guess
at the reasons for the withdrawal
of the control blade to the danger
point.
Human error ranked high in
the board’s list of educated guess
es.
The blast ripped through the
AEC’s national reactor testing
station January of last year, caus
ing the only fatalities in the his
tory of U.S. reactor operations.

This applies not only to armed

l).S. and Russia Must Make New
Arrangements, Based on Reason,
“To Live In This World Together"
By James Marlow
Associated Press News Analust
| WASHINGTON UP — The in
| escapable conclusion from history
i is that man throughout most of it
; has acted like a bird-brain.
He used reason to philosophize
i but fulfilled his ambitions by in
J vasion and settled his dilemmas
| with weapons.
| The Egyptians, the Hyksos, the
I Babylonians, the Sumerians, the
; Dorians, the Acheans, the Cartha
| ginians, the Romans, the Goths and |
j Visigoths and Ostrogoths, the
• Huns, the Vandals, the Moslems, !
| the Christians, the Jews — they
| sought solutions in battle.
Now at last, with weapons so
powerful they can wipe one an- :
other out at long range, men are
i beginning to show some restraint,
although it may not last, and in !
the restraint have a sense of bat- :
flement.
The Red Chinese ache to take
over Southeast Asia but hesitate
because it's this country, not theirs,
which has nuclear bombs, a dis- j
eret Mu they may discard when
they have bombs, too.
In the RHOs. when this country !
had a monopoly on the atom bomb, i
Russia was discouraged from
pushing its luck in Greece and j
Turkey.
Not Reason but Fear . . .
Since Russian Communism is j
crusading philosophy there is only !
one explanation for its reticence
about gobbling up Europe: Not |
reason but fear that invasion
means war and in a nuclear war
t - ere may be only the dead and
no winner.
Fear of that same kind of war
is the only explanation for the
self-control the West exhibited
when the Russians threw up the J
Berlin Wall, a risk the Russians j
took and one the West was un- j
willing to take by smashing the 1
wall, now that the Russians have i
nuclear force.
Now Communism is encamped !
in Cuba, Russia pumps in men
and supplies, outraged Americans
in Congress, forgetting American
outrage in this country when
India invaded tiny Goa last year,
called for invading Cuba.
Try it, the Russians said, and
it means - war.
President Kennedy did his best
to chill such martial ardor and
the overwhelming majority in the
Senate contented themselves with
a resolution warning Communism
not to push beyond the shores of
Cuba, or else.
Monroe Doctrine . ■ .
The resolution called the Mon
roe Doctrine with its warning to
European powers to stay out of
the Western Hemisphere while
overlooking another promise in
I doctrine laid down by President
Monroe: That the United States
would stay out of Europe’s affairs.
It hasn't, either in two World j
Wars or since. The United States |
has been very deeply involved
in Europe's affairs, first with
arms and then with rnen, since
President Truman with his doc
trine revised the Monroe Doctrine
by assuming American responsi
bility for stopping Communism in
Europe.
If tomorrow the United States
went back to the Monroe Doc
trine by pulling men out of Eu
rope, which it won’t, and in return
expected Europe, meaning Russia,
to stay out of this hemisphere,
there’s no reason to think Russia
would—and it would probably be
fatal to think so.
Sense of Bafflement . . .
So the two great antagonists,
relying like their ancestors on
) force to discourage each other
from impetuous programs, are both
showing a sense of bafflement,
Russia with Europe and the Unit
l ed States with Cuba.
The nuclear age is so young
and so new the two giants are just
barely getting used to it. Neither
is adjusted to it, which is no sur
prise when it is remembered that
for the first time in history enemies
can destroy each other without
crossing a frontier.
Out of this the United States
and Russia may have to work out
new arrangements for living on
earth together. Their time so far
has been concentrated pretty
much on accumulating power.
So far they’ve had time to live
with it. But, since an accident in
judgment could precipitate a war,
time is not an endless commodity
that either side can enjoy with an
uncontrolled sense of well-being.
Therefore, some new arrange
ments. based on reason, are neces
sary. Whether modern man has
learned enough from the disasters
of his ancestors to begin to be
reasonable at last, is yet to be
demonstrated.
If the answer is no. the answer
may be so sudden that mankind
won't even have time for dismay.
