All to the Good

Nikita Khrushchev is back in Mos
COW, the official statements have been
issued and the formal speeches have
been made. What does it all add up to?
Out of it, as far as we are con-
cerned, comes Arm impression that
this visit has been a good thing-that
the prospects for settlement of the
major issues which divide the United
States and Russia are somewhat better
now than they were two weeks ago.
Evidently nothing of consequence
was settled in the private talks between
Mr. Eisenhower and Mr. Khrushchev.
But, as the joint communique reminds
us, the talks were not undertaken to
negotiate issues.
Furthermore, as far as the future
is concerned, Mr.. Khrushchev certainly
was right in cautioning that zone can
not hope for sudden change of atmos-
phere," and that the process of improv-
Ing relations between our countries will
require great deal of effort and pa
tience, and above all, desire to achieve
that end on both Sides"
Germany and Berlin remain as the
most pressing of the major unresolved
problems, and there will, of course, be
no hope for any significant disarma-
ment until these issues have been re-
solved. Mr.. Khrushchev said he could
not be expected to reveal all that he and
the President talked about with respect
to Berlin, but there has been nothing to
indicate that he has relented in his OPP
position to reunited Germany. This is
the hard core Of the problem, and our
guess would be that the issue will not be
settled without some modification Of
the Western position. Presumably this
will be the top item on the agenda of a
summit meeting, for it is a problem
which cannot be dealt with in bilateral
talks. 1t was recognition of this fact,
we suppose, rather than the preferences
of grandchildren, which prompted the
$ decision to postpone Mr.. EiSenhower's
visit to Russia.
This problem is exceedingly difficult
and it will be something of a minor
miracle if the German and Berlin ques-
tons can be settled by next spring. Mr..
KhruShchev was making sense, however,
when he said he believes that Gin the
final run common sense will prompt the
right course of action in the settlement
of international problems" Given the
application of common sense, plus a
willingness to look to the future instead
of the past, these problems can be
solved. 1t is, furthermore, very much in
the national interests Of both countries
that they should be solved, and we think
that the Khrushchev visit to this coun-
try, despite its occasional circus-like
atmosphere, will be seen in retrospect
as the first significant step toward a
solution.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

soon finds out that one route
is seven eighthS of a mile,
the other a full mile.
Using the same length Of
step is necessary, of course:
this is very easily achieved.
If one is careful in the first
place to determine the exact
length in inches Of the nor
NAL step.
Right here human psy-
chology enters.
Each one Of us has a
normal step length, but the
temptation is to lengthen it,
when solemnly stepping it of
for measurement.
If one sets the instrument
for too long a step, then it
will not be accurate in dis
lance measurement.

Housewives have found the
pedometer useful for check
ing up on how far they walk
in a mornings housework.
Some amazing figures have
been racked up.
One busy lady found she
walked a full 4 miles Just
in a mornings homework.
This is equivalent to a full
4 miles of an l8-hole golf
course, more or less.
Such household measure
ment, it is true, cannot be
as accurate as the steady
pace of continued walking.
1t is the piling of one step
upon another, in the long
run, that makes outdoor
walking such a good exercise.
Unfortunately, for the now
famous sedentary worker,
there are many factors in
terfering with such good ex-
erciSe.
There are shoes, for one
or two things, and some
times ones socks are not
right. There is the pressure
of duties, and sometimes of
other entertainments. Some
who would like to walk, at
least in theory, find the
pains often outweigh the
gains. Walking is not as
easy as it sounds.
This is where the perdom-
eter, comes in. Safely in
his pocket, the amateur
pedestrian will find its dull
"tick" just the thing to jog
him into walking.

A Bridge at Last

The Districts advertisement Of con-
struction bids for the new Fourteenth
street bridge over the Potomac will be
heartily welcomed by Virginia COM
muters. If they react with incredulity,
that also will be understandable. Con-
gress authorized the crossing IL years
ago, but there has been only Illustration
and false promise since. Now, unless
the steel strike or some other unfore-
seen complication slows things down,
the George Mason Memorial Bridge
should be under way by the end of this
year and finished by the end of 1861.
The four-lane George Mason bridge
will replace the old three-lane trestle
crossing. In total traffic lanes, therefore,
it will add only one to the Fourteenth
street bridge complex-long among the
most congested in the world For other
reasons, however, the new span is highly
important. It's approach roads, for ex-
ample, in addition to Fourteenth street
connections, will lead directly from the
Southwest freeway, which also is under
construction. This will permit motorists
from the Maine avenue waterfront to
bypass the congeSted mixing bowl north
of Jefferson Memorial and speed directly
to the bridge. Thus a Potomac bridge,
for the first time, will become an actual
part of the city'S ambitious expressway
program.
The new bridge, furthermore, is
only one part of four bridge construc-
ton program across the Potomac. In
Alexandria, the Jones Point bridge al
ready is creeping slowly across the river.
Within few weeks, it is likely that the
controversial six-lane Constitution ave-
nue. bridge will be advertised. And fur

THE PASSING SCENE
Democrats in e-Convention Moves
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

A new force, one both dis
turbing and amusing to the
pros, has strongly entered
democratic preconvention
presidential politics.
1t now appears fair to say
that the struggle Of these
newcomers against the old
party professionals will be
hardly less dramatic than
the struggles among the
presidential aspirants them
selves.
This new group which is
challenging the old-timers
for control of the conven-
ton takes the view that 1t
is issues upon which the
Democrats must depend d
mainly in 1860. The pros, as
in their long custom, prefer
to speak first Of men and
much later Of issues-if at
all.
The new fellows like to
think Of themselves as intel
lectuals or eggheads. They
speak in egghead terms.
Specifically, they describe
themselves in multi syllables
as "programmatic politi-
Clans" BY this they mean
they are more concerned with
party programs than with
individual candidates.
The pros are already sorely
tired of hearing the word
"programmatic" in the var
ious party meetings now go
ing on periodically about the
country. They call their
antagonists, simply, "the
programmatics."
The programmatics al
ready have made significant
gains, especially in the Mid
west. by Selling control of
several local and regional
Democratic organizations.
They are divided as to who
should be the 1860 Demo-
cratic presidential nominee.
But they are wholly united
on one point, at least.
This is that the nominee
must be liberal" enough in
their definition and free of
entanglements with the
Democratic professionals.
These professionals are on
the whole the old Truman
men" of the party. begin
ming with Mr.. T himself and
going down the list Of his
closest associates.
Paul Butler, the Demo-
cratic national chairman, is
himself a programmatic,
though he might not adopt
that term. For the two lead
ing programmatics in the
party are Butler associates
and Butler in effect is fol-
lowing their theological lead.
These two are Neil Stabler,

portions Of the circumferential freeway.
In the future, still more bridges will
be needed. But the four slated for
imminent construction constitute a
giant stride toward breaking the Poto-
mac bottleneck, which has increased In
severity with the rapid growth of the
Washington area.

One favorite toy Of Temp
Jones is the pedometer, a
small watch-like instrument
for measuring how far one
walks.
Boy Scouts and others in
the walking line still find it
useful, but for the average
citizen it remains unknown.
Jones thinks many persons
would be better of to make
its acquaintance, because as
for as a watchlike thing can,
it induces people to walk.
Walking, as many have
said, is the best all around

Walking limbers up the

IsroeI's Rejection
Of Jury Defended
BY Roy Crone
By St0n Droks
BY Walt Kelly
'y Winslow Mortimer

An Israeli law school dean
yesterday defended his coun.
try's rejection of the jury
trial system before a group of
area jurists.
Currently on a tour of this
country, Dean Avidgor Levon-
tin of the Law School of the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem
spoke at a luncheon meeting
Of judges and deans of area
law schools in the Statler
Hotel.
Although he called the jury
system in America a popular
concept and symbol of freedom,
Dean Levontin observed that
juries in this country neither
take notes nor give reasons
for their decisions, while in
his country judges take notes
which they use in celebrating.
He also pointed out that, in
a country as small as Israel,
1t is an unnecessary expense
to take IL people from their
jobs to hear a trial.
Dean Levontin said Israel
judicial dignity and
keeps the best people on the
bench with an appointive rath-
er than an elective method of
choosing judges.
