3 Soviet Artists Voice Kind Word

The two cartoonists were
much impressed by New York,
where they have spent the last

the flow Of traffic made them
feel as if they were on a hon-
day in Moscow.
Impressed by People
But it was the people that
appealed to them most. They
said that the spirit Of
camaraderie and friendliness
among the cartoonists they met
there was wonderful"

lean stores as "very rich and

said they had had no time
to make any real purchases.
In commenting on the earth
satellite race, Mr.. Goriaev was
very gracious. He said, 1.-THE
Soviet people respect the
American Sputniks very much
and it doesn't matter that they
are smaller than the Russians,
for the American Sputniks will
grow and grow. 1t is significant
though that only the United
States and Soviet Union can
launch Sputniks."

Mr.. Mclaughlin labeled the
traffic engineer as one Of the
most important jobs in munic-
ipal government. He should not
be subjected to any threat to
his independent planning, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mclaughlin,

II belive that any disagree
.ment between the engineer and
a department head should be
settled by the Commissioners, "

Col. yelling said he had been
studying trouble spots for sew
eral weeks. He promised prior
ity attention would be given
engineering techniques for
smoothing the traffic flow in
areas pinpointed in his studies
as the most dangerous.
Traffic troubles in the Dis
trict are no worse than in. other
major cities of comparable size,
Mr.. Karrick noted.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
greatest single help for down.
town traffic would be removal
of streetcar tracks. Lifting the
rails would clear the way for
conversion Of major downtown
arteries into one-way streets,
he said. He added that one-way
streets in the central city had
been a goal of traffic planners
here for at least four years.
