 CichoSki then stated that its easy to get closures, but when there are fish, extensions come hard.
 Pat Cannon, President of the As sociation, then stated he will make the same proposal as last year his group recommended a sein lead of 75, fathoms for Kodiak.

Happy Picnic, Rene

One of our British journalistic col
leagues has gone home in pet. Rene Mac
Coll, writing for London's Daily Express,
is welcoming change Of assignment
from Washington to London because he
is glad to leave "this great, swarming
ant-heap of country" 1t seems he has
not been happy over here-oppressed he
says, by the Jumbo swirl Of riches and
plenty and dragon-huge Tai Mahal-
conspicuous motor cars roaring
torrent of informally /. tranquilizer
pills :. psychiatry run riot" ct cetera,
ct cetera. Rene's greatest desire, so he
says, is to 60 on "a real picnic"-menu
Of "hard-boiled eggs, cheese sandwiches
and beer at the edge Of a forest near
the South Downs" It sounds like right
nice little idea. Still, picnics in almost
any country have a way Of ending UP
right on top Of "swarming ant heap"
Better take along q tranquilizer. Rene,
just in case. !.

The Soviet Reorganization

Although it has scored significant
gains in recent years, the economy Of the
USSR is still far from being as ef11cient
as that of the most advanced Western
countries, particularly the United States.
For it has long felt the iron hand Of
Moscow's rigidly centralized control over
both light and heavy industry. And as
a result, with individual and group ini-
tiative greatly inhibited or altogether
lacking at the local level, Soviet produc-
tion-especially in the field of consumer
goods-has involved a vast amount of
waste motion and lost opportunity In
deed, comparing 1t to our own, the Rus
slams themselves have indicated that 1t
has been almost scandalously inferior
In terms Of quantity and quality alike.
1t is against this background that
Nikita Khrushchev has called upon the
Supreme Soviet (Russia's version Of par
liament) to enact-as has been done with
rubber-stamp rapidity-the Kremlin's
new economic reorganization plan. When
1t goes into effect, the plan will abolish
20 big control ministries now centralized
in Moscow, and 1t will transfer their func-
tons to 90 regional management coun-
ellis spread throughout the USSR. As
explained by Mr.. Khrushchev, this will
make possible, among other things, sharp
cuts In the armies OF 'bureaucrats who
have been tripping over each other as
inspectors and superforemen, whose ac-
tivities have hurt rather than helped
the economy. Through such decentraliza-
ton, he has predicted, local initiative
and grass-roots common sense will be
able to increase efficiency and output
by doing away, for example, with situa-
tons In which I'VE have so many super
visors checking on the production Of
neckties that the quality Of our neckties
Is still very inferior"
However, although this general re-
organization should produce some i'm
provements, there is reason to doubt that
1t will effect any spectacular revision in
the basic nature Of the Soviet economy,
at least as far as the consuming public
is concerned. This is so because Moscow
will continue to exercise totalitarian con-
trolls over heavy industry (which has
been formidably successful IN arms pro-

= With admirable speed, the Senate
has done its part toward resolving the
conflict over site for the proposed ma
fional auditorium and cultural center.
We hope the House will follow suit and
permit action to start Immediately toward
acquiring the selected tract in Foggy
Bottom.
Difficult problems still must be
worked out to accommodate the center
In Foggy Bottom. A plan must be devel-
ppsd to permit both the center and the
Districts inner loop expressway to oper-
hte0in close proximity. A change in the
highway location-if that is the solution
Esh0uId be designed to have minimum

development to the north. None of these
problems is likely to be solved, however,
until Congress decides definitely that the
center is to be located in Foggy Bottom.
|. Left completely high and dry by the
lndecision is the Peoples Life Insurance
Company, which has invested in land for
its new headquarters. Apparently, the
Peoples Life land will be required II
the cultural center is built in Foggy Bot
tom. Under the Senate-paSSed legislation,
which now awaits House action, the Gen.
eral Services Administration would be
directed to acquire such land as is needed
for the center. Certainly one Of GSAs
t1rst actions, If the House concurs with
the Senate, should be to seek an appro-
priation with which to buy the Peoples
Life tract so that the firm could flnd
another suitable building site.
Representative Broyhill has waged
strong and lone fight to locate the cul-
tural center in the Southwest redevelop-
ment section. But the preference Of
House and Senate members working on
the problem has been so solidly In favor
OF Foggy Bottom that continued OPPOSE
ton by Mr.. Broyhill could serve no other
purpose than to sabotage the entire prof.
ect. One of Mr.. Broyhill's complaints is
that land in Foggy Bottom is expensive.
The cost may be high, but so will be the
value Of the center in the fast-developing
Potomac River area. The prominent citi-
zen members of the Auditorium Commits
sion are confident they can raise the
center's $50 million construction costs
through private subscription. Surely the
cost Of the site is not too high a price
for the Federal Government to contribute
toward such a valuable asset to the
Nations Capital.

duction) and.such related fields as capital
investment and ALLEGATION Of materials.
Certainly, as long as these controls re-
main in force and as long as the USSR
persists in putting major emphasis on
military output, the Russian people are
not likely to benefit very much from
limited economic decentralization. In
stead, it appears that they are still going
to be denied things like adequate housing
and the kind of consumer goods we have
come to regard as virtual necessities.
This is prospect that can hardly change
for the better until the Kremlin itself
makes up its mind to shift from a war
time to a peacetime way of life.

To Meet Our Full Share

Inc maj report OF the PreS10enCS
Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief
marks the end of highly commendable
chapter in the exercise Of American mercy
and hospitality. It Is not the end Of the
story, however, and both the administra-
ton and Congress should take steps to
assure that this humanitarian under
taking is carried through.
In brief, the situation Is this: AS
of May !, the committee headed by Tracy
s. Voorhees, reports that total Of 32,075
refugees from the brutal Soviet suppress
sion of Hungary's fight for freedom last
fall had been admitted to the United
States. OF this number, $500 were adj
mitted on permanent visas available
under the Refugee Relief Act These
6,500-if they so wish and II they comply
with normal requirements at the
proper time apply for American citizen
ship. The others. however, were admit
ted on an emergency parole" basis which
does not guarantee permanent residence
or qualify them to apply for citizenship.
While as a practical matter their resi-
dency may not be curtailed, their eligi-
bility for citizenship cannot be established
without specific legislative action.
In January. President Eisenhower
recommended legislation which would
deal not only with the Hungarian refu-
gee cases but with any other like emer-
gency which may hereafter face the free
world" In particular. he urged that Con-
greSs confer upon the Attorney General
the necessary discretionary power "to
permit aliens paroled into the United
States, who intend to stay here, to remain
as permanent residents" On that basis,
they could seek citizenship through the
normal proceedings Bills to implement
the recommendations have been intro
duced in Congress but have not been
acted on either in House or Senate.
The executive agencies concerned
have agreed to continue the parole pro-
gram, at least in limited terms This is
in keeping with the Presidents assurance
to the Voorhees, committee that it will
be the continuing policy Of our country
ITO meet its full share Of the free worlds
responsibility and unique opportunity to
help these people," This assurance can
not have full meaning, however, until
Congress acts aff1rmatively on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's legislative recommendations.

grow red in the face about
squirrels. This is too bad. be-
cause squirrels have something
such people badly need.
Now to get down to the
rabbit.
Here is a real fun lover.
After a few weeks, in which
food Is more necessary than
sport to them. the average
cottontail likes to play with
his brothers and sisters.
The popular song Of a few
years ago in which the glories
of Texas were sung so en-
gagingly also said something
about the rabbits rushing
around the brush.
No evening sight is more
pleasing than a group Of young
rabbits playing tag around a
wood pile.
Here is fun. IL you ever saw
it.
Children today are SO sophis-
ticated that they sometimes
look down their noses at an
honest game Of tag, or even
high spy. whatever they call it.
AS for "Sheep-sheep, run" no
body plays that any more. 1t
is said that the Incas had o
game similar to this one.

We would not wish to push
the idea Of the cottontail rab-
bit as a funny fellow too far.
Perhaps some Of 1t is due to its
long legs, big ears, and long
leaps.
These things and acts are
usually associated with funny
men, who since Shakespeare's
day have been noted for legs.
ears and leaps.
The rabbit is perhaps an un-
conscious humorist, but ne
manages to put over the belief
of all properly created things
that there is still something to
laugh over, even in a universe
whose sunshine is covered
periodically by darkness.
We. are not entirely lost as
long as we can find something
humorous in the situation.
Even in the darkest days Of the
world wars people found 1t pos
sible to laugh at themselves
and at their enemies.
Since the wild animals find
the world Of men filled with
enemies, 1t may be that they.
too, are laughing at us, and
trying to make the best Of a
bad situation.
The cottontail rabbit doesn't
tell Jokes, but he is one in him.
