For Health and Pleasure

The President has just made a good
suggestion to his Council on the Fitness
OF American Youth. The suggestion is
that something concrete be done to en-
courage more bicycle riding throughout
the country. One of his heart consult
ants, the celebrated DR.. Paul Dudley
White, advocated the same thing several
months ago, and it is an idea sound
enough to be acted upon and not Just
talked about.
Certainly, viewed either as a pleas
urabie pastime, systematic sport or a
simple exercise to tone up the body few
things could be better than riding bike,
and this holds true for adults as we'll as
youngsters. Unfortunately, however, al
though it still thriveS in Europe (whoSe
children, according to expert studies,
seem muscularly superior to ours), cycling
has become relatively rare in our coun-
try. The chief reason for this, of course,
is our tremendous and steadily growing
automobile traffic We have only to glance
at the tWo-Way rush Of cars on the streets
OF Washington to appreciate why so many
parents refuse to let their sons and
daughters have bicycles.
Yet, as the President has noted, many
Western European cities, although they
must cope with traffic comparable to
ours, still manage to provide safe travel
for great numbers of cyclists, young and
old. They do so by means of special paths
in their parks and by paralleling some of
their major avenues Gas in West Berlin)
with miles and miles of narrower road

ing. In effect, in discussing the subject
with Vice President Nixon, who is chair
man of the youth fitness council, Mr..
Eisenhower has proposed that our own
country undertake to develop similar
facilities as urban change and growth
continue.
Compared with other issues con-
fronting the Nation, all this may seem
to be small potatoes. But still, in terms
OF physical well-being and simple pleas

Both my parents were ar

Of speech and anecdotes. They
said Bryan drew immense
crowds and received tumul-
tuouS applause. In those horse
and-buegy days they said peo-
pie drove so miles or more to

quite compliment to any
candidate. Yet. in spite of all
this outward evidence of in

them more or less as conf

At this point let me say

proposed. The administration
Is anxious to see how the flex-
ible system Of farm price sup
ports works out in this second
year since it became really ef-
fective, and the same goes for
the soil bank, which got
underway late in 1856.
The Democrats, after they
have had an opportunity to
examine the Presidents pro-
gram, doubtless will come for
ward with proposals of their
own. The President has APP
parently told the congressional
leaders tax reduction is "out,"
so far as this session is con-
cerned. And he has indicated
that the Federal budget will
be in the neighborhood Of $40
billion-the largest budget he
has yet proposed. He hopes to
keep the budget in balance,
hence no tax reduction. This
will be a bitter pill in many
quarters. but the Presidents
reasons for the budget and for
a denial Of tax reduction are
cogent. They are based largely
upon the unsettled condition
in the world and the need for
a strong America and for aid
to the free world, economic
and military.
Battle Over Civil Rights
The biggest bone of conten-
ton before the Congress is the
proposal for civil rights legisla-
tion-for legislation that will
strengthen the arm of the
Federal Government in its eff.
fort to see that Negroes in the
South have full opportunity to
vote, and that they have full
economic and job opportuni-
ties. The issue will divide the
Democrats in Congress, rather
than divide the Republic. ~
and the Democrats. Indeed.
the Republicans almost to a
man will go along with the
liberal Democrats of the North
and West to push through such
legislation.
The biggest battle will. of
course, lie in the Senate where
the right of unlimited debate
and the f1libuster has pre-
vented civil rights legislation
for many decades. President
Eisenhower has made it clear
he will use his influence to
obtain from Congress his civil
rights program.
The attitude of the Demo-
cratic leadership in Congress
IN the recent past has been
that 1t will go along with Eli
senhoWer proposals where they
believe these proposals are in
the interests of the people"
Since the people have demon
strated their support of the
Eisenhower program as we'll as
OF the President himself in
the November election, it is
reasonable to expect that this
Democratic Congress will go
along in considerable measure
with the Chief Executive. A
cold war" between the Pres
ident and Congress is not yet
in sight.

THE POLITICAL MILN
Congress Returns to Vital Problems
BY GOULD LINCOLf

The new 85th Congress goes
to work today. facing a long
list of legislative and policy
problems. domestic and for
eign. While this is an "oh
year." so far as elections are
concerned, the congressional
session will not be entirely
free from political pressures.
For the record made by Con-
gress, under Democratic con-
troll, will provide important
issues for the election cam
paign of 1858.
The political makeup of the
new Congresses far as party
division is concerned and party
leadership - is virtually the
same as in the last Congress.
The Senate. indeed, has the
same number of Democrats
and Republicans, a razor-edge
division-49 Democrats and Al
Republicans. In the House, the
Democrats will number two
or three more members than in
1956-but the margin is still
narrow.
Whether a kind of honey
moon"-as between the Con-
greSs and the Republican
President - will develop re-
mains to be seen. Not all will
be sweetness and light, but the
prospects are for reasonable
cooperation. If that be true,
President Eisenhower will get
a considerable part Of his pro-
gram.
In view of the huge vote by
which Eisenhower was elected,
the members Of his own party
in Congress may be expected
to give him even better support
than they did in the last Con-
gress. The Democrats, for their
part, are on notice that the
people think more of President
Eisenhower than they do of
either political party. This
could have a harmonizing
effect.
To Ask Vital Legislation
Not until the President de-
livers his state of the Union"
message to Congress at a Joint
session of both houses January
10 will his recommendations for
legislation be fully revealed.
However, it already has been
developed in his conferences
with congressional leaders
that he will seek important
enactments. Among the most
important will be his proposal
that Congress authorize him to
use the armed forces of the
Nation to meet Soviet Russian
aggression if it occurs in the
Middle East.
On the domestic side, the
Eisenhower recommendations
will deal particularly with civil
rights, with public housing,
With Federal aid in school
construction, with labor leg
islation and with public
health. There may be some
proposals for legislation af-
tecting agriculture, but it is
understood no basic changes in
the present farm laws will be

Jackie During
Fla. Training

New York, March IL - Word
from Vero Beach, Fla, the Brook
lyn Dodgers training mill for the
spring, is that Jackie Robinson,
absence from the training camp
for the first time in 10 years, is
greatly missed by his former team
mates.
Jackie, who retired recently from
baseball to become an executive of
restaurant chain, has been a
commanding figure at the Dodgers
training camp during his baseball
years.
Other reports center on Jim
Gillian, Roy Campanelfa, Don
Newcombe and Charlie Neal. Gil
liam, the teams only 800 hitter
last year, might be shifted to third
base or left field, if Walt Aston,
Dodgers manager, goes through
with a plan to use Neal at second
base.
Campy's hand, which has with
stood several operations, is still a
big question mark, although Roy
de-~red that it was holding up
well during workouts.
NewcOmbe, on the other hand,
reported early in order to attempt
to recapture the pitching form
which netted him q wins last
season. He lost only seven games.
