eliminate the hazards Of violations or
evasions. In these circumstances, as
the President has said, 1t would be Inn
prudent for the United States to engage
In mere paper agreement to stop nu-
clear testing. And this Is the more
true because such testing now has
an important bearing on our develop
ment Of weapons for defense against
air attack.
AS Mr.. Eisenhower has explained to
Mr.. Nehru, our country Is ready and
anxious to ban this whole business just
as soon as we can get the Kremlin to
agree to related safeguards which we
consider indispensable to our security.
Meanwhile, 1t is asking too much Of
us to END the tests on the altogether

Still a Race

1t is worth noting that Alexander
Nesmeyanov, chief of Russia's Academy
Of Science, has just appeared before the
Supreme Soviet-the Kremlin's version
Of parliament-to warn his country
canoe Of achievements like the Sputniks.
Great efforts" he has said, "are still
needed to beat the United States on all
scientific fronts" and he has strongly
appealed for enough money to carry on
those efforts.
The Supreme Soviet has responded
with generosity. 1t has rubber-stamped
the Kremlin's recommendation" for an
IL per cent increase in RusSia's expend-
itures on scientific research. This means
that next year the USSR will invest the
ruble equivalent of $4.5 billion in such
research. OF course, because of the vast
difference between the economy over
there and the economy here, it is very
difficult to translate Moscows budgetary
figures In terms of our own, but we can
be certain that Nikita Khrushchev and
company are spending at least as much
as we are-and perhaps much more
on science.
AS carried out by both the Federal
Government and our private institu-
tions, the American outlay on research
now amounts to an estimated SIS billion
year. But large part Of this sum is
spent on consumer and other nonmili-
tary projects. BY way Of contrast, So
Wet expenditures in the same field are
overwhelmingly aimed at increasing the
power Of the USSR, not the living stand
ards Of the people. That is one reason
why the Russians, even though they
have terrible plumbing and no fiashy
automobiles, now lead the world In such
things as the launching Of earth satel-
lites. Moreover, because Of the regi-
mented nature Of their economy, they
can buy more with their rubles in that
sense than we can buy with our dollars.
Even so, Il would be little bit pre-
mature at the moment to Jump to the
conclusion--as some pessimistic Amer
leans seem to have done--that our coun-
try has already lost the scientific race
to the Soviet Union. AS Mr. Nesmeya-
nov himself has indicated that simply
is not so. The race is still on, and
we will not lose. 1t II we ourselves en-
gage in great efforts" to forge ahead

The Russians, II Is said, have thrown
cold water on the NATO proposal for

fair Interpretation of the Soviet re-

Mr. Gromyko makes two counter
proposals. One is that the matter be
dealt with in special session of the
United Nations. This Is nonsense, as
the Soviet Foreign Minister well knows.
and If it proves to be the final Russian
position there is little hope of settling
disarmament or any other question. His
second suggestion is for an international
conference to discuss disarmament. It
is not clear what he means by this. If he

Monument to Confusion

The Commissioners will no doubt
proceed now with construction Of Con-
stitution avenue bridge across the Poto-
mac. They win do so without the Fine
Arts Commissions approval Of the
bridge design, and in the face of the
commissions strongly worded warning
that the bridge and its complex Of ap-
proaches will do permanent injury to
the setting Of the Lincoln Memorial and
the Memorial Bridge. II that is merely
one opinion, 1t is expressed by an agency
specifically created to give 1t.
The Commissioners have no alter
native. They are proceeding under an
act Of Congress, after more than five
years of interminable wrangling between
agencies supposed to plan and control
the orderly development Of this Capital
City, protect its park lands and great
monuments, and provide Its necessary
highway facilities. There has never been
a more dismal demonstration Of their
utter incapability Of working together
In the common interest.
The Constitution avenue bridge lo-
cation is the result of compromise. It
Is not the best location Of the bridge.
1t was never recommended by the Com
missioners or highway authorities. It
was compromise forced by stupid OPP
poSition-until too late=to a cross
ing farther up river, which would have
thrown the bridge across the Roosevelt
Memorial Island. And 1t is a comprom-
iSe which Congress approved in its own
confused evaporation over the hopeless
conflict between the various executive
agencies involved.
The Commissioners are now going
ahead. against the advice Of the Fine
Arts Commission, but with tacit or ex-
pressed approval from the White House
and members of Congress. The effect
will be to weaken the Fine Arts Com
missions influence at time when 1t
should be strong. The effect may be an
irretrievable mistake in injury to one Of
the great memorials, not by the bridge
itself, but the Chinese puzzle complex
Of bridge approaches on both sides of
the river, which incidentally would not
have been avoided by tunnel.
Perhaps there Is nothing else to do
now but to go ahead. Certainly the
Commissioners seem powerless to do
anything else. Only the President Of
the United States can straighten out
the inexcusable mess created by the in
ability Of his executive agencies to reach
agreement.
Should the President, however. now
make fortnight request to Congress
for the simple legislative changes re-
quired to move the bridge site up river.

Realistic Road Formula

Legislators from nearby Virginia
presented to the Virginia Legislative
Advisory Council an impressive case for
ALLEGATION Of more road funds to their
rapidly growing area. They pointed out
that the formula now used in diStribu-
ting the money is slanted in favor Of
farm-to-market roads. This worked salts
factorily when the formula was adopted
several decades ago, for the most urgent
need then was to improve rural high
ways. Today, however. the rural-road
program Is about complete. The crit
ical need now is for more money for
highways in urban sections of the State,
where near-intolerable traffic conditions
have developed. The old formula needs
to be revised to release more money for
road construction in congested areas,
such as Northern Virginia.
State Senator Fenwick of Arlington
told the council that the time has come
to gear road fund allotments to current
needs The old formula uses 1850 census
figures and takes little account of traf-
fic volumes. Thus. as Delegate Hirst Of
Fairfax County pointed out, the North
ern Virginia highway district, known at
Richmond as the Culpeper district, has
20 per cent Of the traffic load imposed
on the State primary system, but re-
ceives only 13 per cent Of the available
funds for primary roads. The main
highway problem today, he said, is not
farm-to-market roads but home-to-
ONCE roads.
Maryland already has begun to give
more attention to trafic relief facilities
near the cities-especially in the WASH
ington area. Virginia ought not to lag
in recognizing that 1t, too, has respon-
sibility to keep highway building in pace
with urban growth.
