Morning Thump'

The extent to which some of our
giant industries will go in their search
for ways to make customers happy
usually translated into dollar profits
often makes fascinating reading. The
Wall Street Journal reports, for exam
pie, that the automobile tire industry
currently is directing some Of its best
research at the problem of eliminating
the morning thump." Certain kinds of
tires, it seems, "set" during lonely
night in garage, or, in other words, the
tread flattens out enough so there is
morning thump" for the first few miles
of tomorrow's driving. Many drivers
have, no doubt, experienced this sensa-
ton and have taken recourse to such
palliatives as aspirin and black coffee
thinking, of course, they were treating
the basic illness. Many no doubt have
wondered why, as mans medical knowl-
edge has pushed on to bright new hori-
IONS, some more effective remedy has
not been discovered. So it is reaSsuring
indeed to learn that at least part Of the
trouble is traceable not to the way the
driver spent the previous night, but the
way his tires did.

preserve Rock Creek Park as a .recrea-
tional area is commendable. The public
generally would oppose any unnecessary
encroachment on parkland by highway
builders. But unless satisfactory alter
natives can be found-and the search so
far has been in vain-it might become
absolutely necessary to use strip
through the park for city approach to
Maryland Route 240. 1t would be mis-
take, therefore, to foreclose, by legisla-
ton such as Senator Murray proposes,
route that may be required in the
general public interest.
The Murray plan involves wrong

issue Of the 240 approach to Washing
ton. The right procedure is to explore
an possible routes for the approach. in
GLIDING not only the Rock Creek course
but the several alternatives proposed by
the District Highway Department, the
National Capital Planning Commission
or other groups. Before Rock Creek is
excluded from consideration care should
be taken to make sure that there is
practicable alternative. And serious OBJ
jections have been raised to all alter
native routes heretofore suggested. In
the end it may be necessary to make
choice between the alternatives on the
one hand and Rock Creek on the other
and it is conceivable that an unemo-
tional, objective study of the various
routes would find Rock Creek the least
Objectionable, with the recreational
areas of the park less threatened than
they are now by heavy traffic forced to
use narrow, winding park roads never
intended to accommodate it.

Invitation to Zhukov

In effect, even though he seems to
have spoken in an impromptu, off-the-
cuff manner, President Eisenhower at
his latest news conference has made
clear to the Kremlin that he is receptive
to the idea of an exchange of visits
between Marshal Zhukov and Defense
Secretary Wilson
The President has done this by de-
claring that he thinks such an exchange,
far from doing any harm, might well
serve useful purpose. And he has gone
on to recall that during the years that
I knew him, had most satisfactory
acquaintanceship and friendship" with
Marshal Zhukov. More than that, con-
tinuing in a reminiscent mood, Mr..
Eisenhower has observed that he re-
members his wartime and Berlin asso-
ciate as IAN honest man" believing sim
cerely in communism.
Back in the mid 194OS, when our
relations with the Kremlin were still
relatively amiable, this man had a
standing invitation to visit the United
States But Generalissimo Stain, refus-
ing to let him accept, and apparently
fearful of him as possible rival, as
signed him instead to obscure military
posts in the USSR. Since the old tyrant's
death, however, Marshal Zhukov-who
seems definitely to be his countrys most
popular war hero "a sort of Russian
EiSenhower)-haS staged spectacular
comeback. Today, at any rate, as re-
suit of the recent political purge in
ha &c M CT
but also full-fledged member of the
reorganized 15-man Presidium that con-
stituteS the Soviet Unions topmost rul-
ing authority. In fact, according to
some seasoned observers, many signs
indicate that within that formidable
hierarchy he ranks second only to Nikita
KhruShchev in terms of personal in
fluence and power
So it is of more than passing interest
that the President has suggested that it
might be very wholesome thing If
Marshal Zhukov (who can lay claim to
being charter member of the Il Like
Ike" Club) came over here for some talks
and if our Defense Secretary went over
to Russia for the same purpose. OF
course, as Mr.. Eisenhower has cautioned,
it would be foolhardy to build hopes too
high on any such exchange of visits, but
the experiment certainly would be
worthwhile as part of the imperative
effort to improve Soviet American
relations.
The sincerity of the Presidents
views is beyond question or doubt Ac-
cordingly, If Marshal Zhukov and his
colleagues respond aff1rmatively, it may
be possible to make some real progress
toward bridging the awful gulf that still
divides East and West. Anyhow, there's
no harm in trying.

Jury TrioI-the Chief Issue

~ 10 HOtIlAIlS IcSS CIldn shocking LnaC
the expedient avoidance of jury trials
in the civil rights bill is described by
the President of the United States as
intended merely Ito uphold the tradi-
tional authority of the Federal courts
to enforce their orders"
That is the line taken by his Attor-
ney General. But it is a highly mis-
leading If not deceptive line. The
procedure to bypass jury trials is being
pictured to the people of this country
by men in high places as an innocuous
application Of frequently used legal
device. In reality it is a radical and
highly dangerous departure from one of
our most priced traditions and funda-
mental rights.
On the opposite page today we are
using a generous condensation of SEN
ator O'Mahoney'S speech of Tuesday on
this jury trial issue. Please read 1t. The
Senator is as free as any man from faint
of racial bias. He wants a civil rights
bill. He wants to secure the right to
vote. But he knows, as anyone should
conclude who has studied this issue,
that elimination of jury trial in this
measure would, as he says, institute
something which has never existed in
law in this land" since the Stamp Act
And once we follow that path, we shall
have done serious injury to one of the
great principles of free government, and
prepared the way for others.
Those who defend avoidance of jury
trials in the civil rights bill rest their
case generally on two points. One is
that jurieS, Southern jurieS, will delay
or circumvent court orders by refusal to
convict. The other is that Congress has
already authorized government by in
junction, without jury trials, in some %
laws
If one accepts as valid the cynical
argument that trial by jury is inexpe-
dent, because of a suspected reluctance
of juries to convict, we have gone long
way to undermine the basic concept of
all trial by jury. And Senator O'Mah-
oney reveals in his excellent speech the
subtle Misrepresentation of precedent,
In regard to the % laws now on the books,
by describing the controlling circum-
stances in which they apply-circum-
stances far removed from those encom-
passed by the civil rights bill To pre-
tend that they are the same, to say that
this bill merely upholds traditional au-
thority" Of the Federal courts, is to mis-
represent the facts by creating hith-
erto nonexistent tradition"
Senator OMahoney's amendment,
and others proposed to protect the right
of jury trial in contempt cases originat-
ing under this bill, is the most important
single change that should be made. 1t
is hard to believe that the United States
Senate will vote down such amendment.

Dangerously Close

The persistent strength of congress
Sional sentiment for modification of the
status of forces agreements was re-
flected in the House yesterday by the
tie vote rejecting an amendment to the
foreign aid authorization bill, indorsing
revision of these understandings. With
this strength demonstrated, however,
the threat still exists that the issue will
be raised again-either when the foreign
aid appropriation measure comes along
or by separate legislation. If so, 1t should
be defeated again and, we hope, more
conclusively.
At his news conference yesterday,
President Eisenhower expressed his un-
equivocal opinion about these agree
mentS. "They are" he said, absolutely
essential to the system of alliances we
now have. Without them those alliances
will fall to pieces, because we would be
compelled to bring our soldiers home"
Others qualified, in the State Depart
ment and in our military establishment,
have been equally unequivocal in de-
tending the agreements as vital to MAIN
tanning our defense alliances. Most re-
Gently, General NorStad, North Atlantic
Treaty commander, said it would be
nothing short of disaster" for us to
denounce the agreements.
Most simply, the agreements give to
our allies the right to try American per-
sonnet stationed in their territories for
off-duty offenseS. The basic agreement,
having its foundation in international
law, is contained in the NATO Status Of
Forces Convention of 1858, ratified by
the Senate. Both the Defense Depart
ment and Senate Armed Services sub
committee periodically review operation
of the agreements. Both have consist
emily found them workable and equi-
table" and the Senate committee last
year reported they have not adversely
affected the morale and discipline Of
our forces"

Drivers

Down Maryland way the
speed limit has recently been
raised 10 miles an hour on
certain highways. The idea
presumably is that it is es-
Sential to cover ground in
less time. even though one
be carried the last portion of
his journey, feet first. And
now, automobile insurance
rates have been raised. The
idea presumably is that when
an automobilist is carried
feet first on the last portion
of his journey, the insurance
companies must protect
themselves in the clinches.
Unlike tax assessors, in
surance executives don't sit
in ivory towers and speculate
on the possibility of squeez-
ing more money out of their
customers. Their rates are
based upon statistics, and are
such as will enable them to
pay the claims presented to
them and remain in business.
Their action in increasing
their rates indicates that
Maryland is fighting a losing
battle against slaughter on
her highways. Perhaps that
is a euphemistic way Of stat
ing the case. Maryland is
at a loss to know what to
do to put an end to the
carnage and damage. Every
road is a potential drag strip.
Traffic is out Of control.
Drivers formulate their own
rules as they dash down
the highway. Heavy trucks.
school buses, emergency We
vehicles all join the mad
scramble. The principle Of
"safey first" is disregarded
by too many drivers in Mary
land. The situation is get
ting worse instead of better.
hence the greater cost of
insurance.
Maryland should realize
that her established speed
limits are somewhat higher
than they are safe. And
even though observed to the
letter, they do not necessarily
preclude the occurrence of
accidents. Individual drivers
must learn that accidents are
caused by collisions. To avoid
an accident, one must so
drive that he will not COL
Tide with a person or thing.
That is the approved solu-
ton of highway safety and
lower insurance rates. 1t
sounds simple. but it does
require a little more intelli-
gence than Maryland drivers,
as a whole, have so far
displayed.

weight Of evidence and competent opin-

these understandings.
