A drastic proposal to require
rather than restrict-travel in the
United States by Soviet diplomats
has arisen in the State Depart
ment.
AS Observation-Disclosures for
Moscow's recent tightening of re-
strictions on travel by American
and other foreign diplomats there.
some officials are toying with this
idea:
Every Russian accredited to the
Soviet Embassy here should be re-
quired to travel at least 10000
miles around the country each
year or be declared PERSONA non
grata.
The possibilities are fascinating.
say those putting forward the
idea in all seriousness:
For one thing, the travel costs
for the scores of it's officials would
put a severe drain on the dollars
the Soviet Embassy might have
to spend on less innocent things
than seeing the country.
Also, exposure to American
ways of life is what the Kremlin
wants least for people it sends
here-they might be corrupted"
by real democracy.
And such action would dra-
matically demonstrate to the rest
of the world the difference be-
tween a democracy which has
nothing to hide and a Communist
dictatorship which has much it
doesn't want foreigners to see.
The idea probably won't get very
far, but its promotion in the State
Department is one factor holding

against the frightened Moscow
travel restrictions.

HOLLYWOOD, May 16.-When
15-year-old Johanna Mankiewicz

So Johanna, the secretary of

Prof. Einstein answered by re-

withholding the answer. The dia-

Although some parts of the dia-

Johanna, daughter of Herman

found that the 73-year-old physi-

problem of sending the reply by

One solution established the

of the sides) by plotting the tan

Delay Of Vote Is Seen
While Senate Argues
On immigration Bill
By the Associated Presf

The Senate today continues de-
bate on a hotly controversial i'm
migration bill but with no pros
poets of any votes before the
middle of next week.
Opponents of the 302-page
measure insisted they were ready
for a vote yesterday, today, Mon
day or Tuesday.
But Senator McCarran, Demo-
crat of Nevada, sponsor Of the
bulky bill, would not agree to
any votes today or Monday.
The first test is expected to
come on a motion to send the
measure back to tht Judiciary
Committee which Senator McCar-
ran heads-a move which could
kill it for this session.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota, a leader in the
fight against the bill, plans to
seek the floor today to continue
a speech he began yesterday de-
nouncing the measure.
He said the bill actually was
an exclusion and deportation"
measure loaded with BOBBY traps
which would work hardships on
aliens and immigrants.
Senator McCarran has said the
bill emhodies a needed overhaul
ing of the immigration laws and
Tightening of security measures
in connection with the admission
of immigrants.
The Nevadan also has accused
foes of the measure of conducting
