In effect, then, the Soviet
Union asks the West to surrend-

Yet the main worry of the West
is not the threat of Soviet arm

Reds Can Be Patient
This is a long-term affair. and
the Russians can afford to be
patient. Indeed. the Russians
must be patient, since they are
not willing to take the risks in
volved in any other course.
In the same way the Russians
have offered practically nothing
to Germany save a hope that
something some day might be
done about identification if the
West retrains from provoking
Moscow.
In 1853 Malenkov announced
that Moscow considered no in

He accompanied this by warning
that the Soviet Union was ca

Moscow clenched a velvet-clad
fist today in a manner recalling
the course of Soviet foreign policy
in the first months after Stalin's
death. 1t indicates the Soviet
Union wants a cooling of period

situation.
The new Soviet proposals on

Foreign Minister Dmitri Shep-
ilov. follow UP a new approach
to Western Germany. embodied
in a note from Premier Nicolai
Bulganin to Bonn. Both sound
much like the policies enunciated
by Georgi Malenkov when he
was Premier Immediately after
Stains death in 1853.
The Russians do not offer a
basis for solution acceptable to
the Western world. The effect
of the announcements, there
fore, is to set the stage for
another long period of incon-
elusive wrangling. giving the
Russians time to attack their
own immediate problems.
Attractive TO Mideast
The Russians have exhibited
worry about American advances
in the Middle East and a posi-
bility that United States policy
might be making some Roadway
in bringing the Arab world
around to a logical approach to
problems of the area. The visit
of King Saud to Washington is
likely to have impressed the
Arabs with the idea that they
might find roads out of their
present troubles.
The Soviet response to the
American initiative seems tailor
ed TO meet such a possibility. The
Shepilov proposals will sound
attractive to Middle East ears,
and will sound logical to those
outside the area who fear the
situation contains the germs of
World War III.
Actually, the USSR has Of

Russians propose could go on

Big FirmsCa||
For LICENSING
OF Wreckers
Demand Revealed
With Stiffenine Of

BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

The big wrecking companies
have been trying for 10 months
to convince the District that
wreckers should be licensed Sin
view of the possible hazards to
person and property" when I'M
skilled wreckers start tearing
down old houses, it was learned
today.
Right now. anybody can go
out and tear down a building

regardless of lack of training
or financial responsibility.
The demand for licensing of
wreckers came to light as the
wrecklng companies started to
cope with the new and stricter
rules for demolition issued by
Cabell Gwathmey director Of the
District Department of Licenses
and Inspections.
The new rules-to be followed
by extensive changes in the
building code-were prompted
by the topping of wall on \
street on January % and the
investigations that came out
Of it.
Meeting Called Thursday
After preliminary converse
tons with wrecking company
officials yesterday, Mr.. Gwath-
mey said he expects to recon-
mend licensing of wreckers. He
set up a meeting with the wreck
ers for 9 am. Thursday.
The wreckers yesterday asked
for the meeting with Mr.
Gwathmey with three points in
mind:
To get the new regulations
clarified. Some wreckers de-
scribed themselves as "stymied'
by several of the new require
mentS.
To back their demands for
licensing of wreckers to get the
"fly-by- nights" out Of the busi-
ness.
Sitter Walls Code
To urge even more regulations
covering party walls-walls that
are shared by neighboring prop
critics. One wrecker proposed
that the changes in the building
code pin down the responsibility
for protecting party walls. An-
other wrecker said builders as
well as wreckers should have
specific responsibility for max
ing sure that party walls are
firmly tied to neighboring build
yings.
The proposal to license wreck
ers was carried in a letter from
the Ace Wrecking Co.. to Engl-
neer Commissioner Thomas A.
Lane on August 81, 1855.
Gen. Lane was told that ANY
person or firm is free to engage
in this business regardless of
qualifications. inexperience Or
financial structure"

tinued. "a number of unqualified
