For the Record

Yale Prof. Staughton Lynd way, way out in front-page editorial in Peking-oriented National Guardian Aug. 6. He urged potential draftees to “refuse to be inducted,” adding: “When enough young men refuse to fight and enough women and older men publicly advocate and encourage the action (thus exposing themselves to similar punishment) what began as moral protest will have become political.” . . . Oregon politicos believe Mark Hatfield has been badly hurt by opposition to Vietnam war. He was earlier regarded as shoo-in to replace Maurine Neuberger in Senate ; now odds are about even, with Rep. Robert Duncan perhaps even a whisker ahead. . . . Roll out the big guns: Sen. Paul Douglas, running a tight race against Chuck Percy in Illinois, has gotten support of Kennedy wing of party. Speaking for him before summer is out will be the Brothers K. , Arthur Schlesinger Jr. , and Senators Birch Bayh (Ind. ) , William Proxmire and Gaylord Nelson (both Wis. ) .

This week marks fifth anniversary of Berlin Wall. Its cost: 58 killed, 54 wounded, more than 2,200 caught, according to West Berlin authorities. Another cost (to East Germany), the 468 border guards who have defected to the West. . . . Polish defector Wladyslaw Tykocinski (former head of Polish military mission in East Berlin) say Polish First Secretary Gomulka believes the Eastern European bloc is breaking up. To save it Gomulka reportedly has proposed a federation of what he believes are the only salvageable regimes: The USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. . . . Art circles in Europe excited over reports of secret negotiations between Soviet authorities and representatives of Christie’s for the auctioning of some Russian art treasures in London—-which would be the first event of the kind since the Revolution.
