There was a distant smell of propaganda about the Kremlin's announcement last March that such tests were being halted.

It was clear that Moscow hoped to establish itself in worlu opinion as the leading proponent of a test ban. There is little surprise now, therefore, in th Soviet resumption of test explosions. The resumptio just at this time is disturbing, however. with evidences of heel-dragging in Moscow, it sug gests that the Soviet Union intends to sabotage th coming Geneva talks looking toward a great powe agreement to end all nuclear weapons tests and se up a global detection system to guarantee the ban. Despite all this, the United States and Grea Britain should press in every possible way for low er-level diplomatic talks in Geneva on this vita matter.

The agreement on feasibility of an inspec tion network, reached by scientists of both East and West in earlier Geneva conferences, provides th basis for a workable test ban. Between now and Oct. 31, the free nation shou'd set forth the vital importance of such a bai so vigorously and clearly that the Russians will no be able to back down from their agreement to dis cuss the matter. The Soviet's resumption of test puts it at a propaganda disadvantage. The Unitec States and Great Britain must not hesitate to ex ploit that advantage to the fullest.

The cause at is sue is no less than the first really promising chanci of a start on effective disarmament. TO DO Senate Backwash The backwash from the school integration is sue could easily swamp those in present control tho United States Senate. Admittedly a side ISSUP 'having less import than the integration problem, thr 'composition of the Senate leadership is of ma.io concern and could in itself have real bearing on thj integration issue. Prospects for the national elections Novem ber favor the Democratic party. Short of a politi cal cataclysm, few observers would give the Renub licans much chance of gaining Senate control.

Thi' must be small solace to Sen, Lyndon Johnson anc company when, they consider the latent volcani their own party which could blow moderate; such Senator Johnson from their present posi tion of influence. Dating from ante bellum days, the Democratic congressional leadership has centered in the South This fact has long rankled Northern Democrats who for years have produced the big city majorities It is conceivable that Northern Democrats, Because of the integration issue, may attempt to go it leaving the Southerners to fend for themselves. If this happens the baby might go out with the bath It is to be hoped that this will not happen, foi if there is a saving grace in the present conflict it in the presence of the so-called moderates. These highly skilled political leaders, occupying key positions in the Senate, could be a tremendous force working for effective compromise of the integration issue. Music Reflects Period Where is the unifying force, or principle, upon the musical composer of our time may "hang his hat?" Bach, Beethoven and Brahms had it easy.

Even later composers such as Mahler and Debussy had an understandable universe on which to rely. But is it no secret that since the days of World War I man and his civilization have been in a suppressed form of shock. Musical composition was shaken to its depths in that cataclysmic period. Atonality had its birth about then and has since taunted musical art. Fragmentation and dissonance have secured a vise-like grip that will not easily let jro, as any listener to modern classical works will attest.

The composers are not to blame. They are simply reflecting' the social climate in which they must compose. If their music is fragmented and dissonant, look to the conditions bringing 1 these emotions about. Sitting on a hot bed of international strife no assurance that right will ultimately triumph, the conscientious artist can hardly compose a serene pastoral. Bobby Fischer, the chess whiz, is described as an "average teen-ager." It's about like picking the prettiest girl in town and naming her Miss Average Girl.

Vice President Nixon is reported to be steer- Ing clear of the controversy over school integration. He may find a traffic jam of other candidates and candidates on the detours. Economic recovery is one climb of which may be said, the steeper the grade, the greater the exhilaration.

Those whose doctors warn them against overtaxing their physical resources may feel like passing on the admonition to government officials. By WARREN ROGERS Jr (For James Marlow) WASHINGTON on For a couple of hours about twice a week two highly skilled diplomats meet in an ornate, tan palace in Warsaw to talk about the same things over and over, One is a gangling, bespectacled, quietly humorous American called Jacob D. Beam. The ither Is a short, chunky, Communist Chinese named Wang Ping-nan. They are their countries' ambassadors to Warsaw.

Talks Unique Rarely in the complex history of diplomacy has been there such a thing as these talks. Neither side officially recognizes the existence of the other, yet here they are sitting down to talk over the tensions of which this mutual diplomatic snub is a symptom. The contact, the only official one between the United States and Red China, sprouted without design, a mushroom growing in the back alley of the 20ld war. But, remembering lerhaps that penicillin comes fungus, the whole world ooks to the Warsaw talks with 'ir -e of good things to come. That hope quickened this week with Red China's seven- day suspension of firing at Na- islands off the Dhina coast.

For the first time ilnce their first meeting Sept. .5, Beam and Wang have some- to talk about beside the diametric and adamant basic positions of their governments.

But you can't stop a man for having feelings, can you?" He took the tin cup of coffee she handed him then, and squinted over the rim. "Can't I toss my hat in the ring?" "You have a one track mind," she said.

"I'm happy to say." His expression brightened. "I can just speak my mind and hope for the best." "You have a girl in Tascosa, I'll bet." "Nope, and that's a. fact. They just don't seem to interest me anymore, Elizabeth. You've ruined women for me.

They all look pale and sickly." Then he laughed. "That sound like a lie?" "Yes, it certainly did." "Well, I'm not much of a liar," he said. "But s.bout you. That's the drank the coffee, Mien put the cup on the (able. "I'm real in terested in the Indians." "They've left me a.lone." she said.

"Harry's a nice guy, but he doesn't have any imagination. You don't want to marry a man like Harry. I know him, and he'd take you, but not the kids. To me that's small mindedness, and you couldn't live with a man like that." She frowned, her Interest immeasurably sharpened. "Finley, hoxv could you knoxv that?" "You mean I've hit it?

Women must really be scarce out here if a man xvas willing to take on a ready made family just to marry her." She saw the cloud come into his eyes and for a moment she was puzzled by it, for he resented her words and seemed offended by them. Then she gained an insight into this man, something she would nex-er forget. He could joke about his vanity, his old sweethearts, his faults, but. he would not have anyone doubt his sincerity.

THE WORLD TODAY By JAMES MARLOW can explore the possibility of making the cease-fire permanent and dependable. The United States has said worthwhile consequences, possibly a thinning out of Nationalist military strength in the coastal lands, would ensure from that, At any rate, Beam and Wang have something to sink their negotiating teeth into.

The Warsaw talks have their roots in the Geneva talks between Wang- and Alexis Johnson, Beam's predecessor as U.S. envoy to These continued May 1955 to December 1957. At Geneva, Johnson and Wang started out with a specific see about freeing more than 40 Americans being detained in Red China. Despite a written pledge in September 1955 to speed freedom for all the Americans, the Red Chinese still hold four U.S. citizens in China.

Johnson never did succeed in his second objective, to get Red China to swear off the use of force in the Formosa Strait. Goal Is General The Warsaw talks began with a general goal', pursuit of ways of "safeguarding the peace in the Far East." Beam wanted a dependable cease-fire. Wang said the guns would stop only after Nationalists evacuated the offshore islands. Red China's temporary cease-fire may have broken the stalemate. Now the negotiators have a special task, no less taxing on their patience and negotiating skill, but narrowed at least to the point where it can be put on.
