Senate and nuclear control
•Every man, woman, and child Uvea under a nuclear sword of
Damocles hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut
at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness. The
weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.*
These were the words of John Fltrgerald Kennedy eight years
ago. But' they are more applicable now than then.
Five nations now have the capacity to explode nuclear weapons —
however, they will comprise but one-third of the nuclear community
in two years. Isreal and India already possess weapons-grade fis¬
sionable material, and could fabricate an atomic device within
months. And five other countries - Canada, Japan, Sweden, Switzer¬
land, and West Germany - could do so within the next 24 months.
The consequence of this can already be seen. Soon the nuclear
capability will lie within the grasp of many, and if events continue on
their present course, this technical capability will be used to pro¬
duce nuclear weapons.
Since the explosion of the first Chinese bomb, pressure to develop
a counterpart has built steadily In India. And In the Middle East,
deep suspicions of weapons activity have been present for many
years and further Israeli progress may lmpell the Egyptians to in¬
tensify their present effort ot develop up-to-date weapons.
If nuclear war were to start It would be exceedingly difficult to
stop Its progress. As many as 160 million Americans - not to speak
of people of other countries — might die within the first 24 hours of
a full scale exchange. And as Nlklta Krushschev once said, the sur¬
vivors would envy the dead.
The need to halt the spread of the nuclear club should be fore¬
most with every American.
In 1963 the United States and Soviet Union took the Initiative by
signing the so-called "nuclear test-ban treaty." But President
Kennedy said upon its signing It was 'the first step In a Journey of
a thousand miles."
The second step has not yet been taken. But it is only a vote away.
But It has been only a vote away for several months now.
Last June, 99 nations, Including the U.S. and U.S.S.R., voted ap¬
proval of the nuclear nonproliferatlon treaty. Under this treaty the
major nuclear powers have pledged not to transfer nuclear weapons
or weapons capability to nations not now in possession of them. And
nations  now without  nuclear arms have pledged not to acquire or
Although this treaty may not be safe-proof, it is, Indeed, the sec¬
ond step fn minimizing the world-wide exchange of these weapons.
And yet the U.S. Senate is sitting on its hands.
Some leaders In this country have cited the Invasion of Czecho¬
slovakia Ay Soviet troops as cause to wait or put off ratification. But
even as odious as the invasion may be to the U.S., it still Is not a
valid reason to refuse the treaty's ratification.
The Senate has an opportunity to safeguard the spread of nuclear
weapons with the nonproliferatlon treaty. It should do so.

Dear Sir:   "~
I am an employee of the FSC
Bookstore. I wish to clear up a
few misconceptions concerning
bookstore policy as I tend to lire
of over-hearing obscene state¬

store     and  various  employees
1. Students are required to
exhibit their FSC I.D. cards In
order to prevent other un¬
authorized persons from entering
and buying books. Books are
ordered on a projected class en¬
rollment basis by the professors
and If people other than those
enrolled In these classes buy the
books so ordered, FSC students
would unfortunately come out on
the short end of the stick.
2. The fullng that persons
entering the store must leave all
books and supplies at the back

negate the possibility of any con¬
