Rusk's conversation with Gromyko followed two incidents which cast a cloud over toe prospects of the 17-nation disarmament negotiations due to open Wednesday. One case involved the seeding by Soviet planes of the Berlin air corridors with thousands of pieces of metal chaff, or flakes, which confuse the radar controlling Western plane traffic. In the other incident a British olider driving a staff car was shot and wounded by East German police in East Germany a few miles beyond toe West Berlin border.

After the dinner, Rusk told reporters: "It was a good night's work. We talked about toe Berlin incidents.

His brother Andrew, a follower of John the Baptist, had been present when the evangelist had baptized Jesus, and when he had said, "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world." Andrew hurried to tell Simon of the event. "We have found the he declared excitedly, and took Simon to see Jesus. Jesus, immediately upon seeing him, recognized him, and gave him the surname by which he was ever afterward to be known Peter, the rock. Peter was not merely a "big fisherman" living in a rude hut by the sea, but a well-to-do ship owner, who left a life of comfortable circumstances to follow Jesus. But before the Resurrection and Ascension, when he set out to establish the Church in the world, there is little doubt that Peter still thought of the Messiah as the political figure foretold by the Jewish prophets.

In the apostle's evangelical history, his character is portrayed with great clarity. Yet there were contradictions in his make-up, as there are in that of all men. Complete renunciation of the world was not easy for him. When Jesus said, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God Peter was a little dismayed. 'Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all and followed thee; what shall we have thereforer" As one writer has observed, "He was called to work for the Kingdom of God, and he thought as men do." Peter's challenge was, in fact, the challenge that has faced all men in all ages, including our own.

He had the same weaknesses, and some of the same strength. He fell asleep on the night of Gethsemane, following the Last Supper. In overweening self-confidence, he cried: "Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison and to death," then denied that he knew the Man. But in his strength he defied the Roman emperors, and according to tradition, was crucified head downward by Nero in Rome. The church he established has lasted almost 2000 years, and is stronger than ever today.
