Home With a MESSAGE

The Vice President has returned
from his journey behind the Iron Cur
tain to receive warm and we'll deServed
welcome-and to convey what we believe
Is an important message to the Ameri-
can people.
AS for the welcome at the airport, 1t
was largely Republican affair, although
Soviet Ambassador MenShikov was on
hand to smile and shake hands. Recog-
nizable Democrats were conSpicuously
absent, but this is hardly surprising.
After all, before another year is out,
they may be trying to chop Richard M.
Nixon into little pieces. So why should
they be expected to turn out to cheer
him now?
Mr.. Nixon'S airport comments on his
visit to Russia and Poland were brief
and gracious, but they hardly added up
to a full-dreSS report of his conversations
with Mr. Khrushchev and of the impress
sions he brought back from the two coun-
tries. Presumably, he spelled all of this
out in his meeting later in the afternoon
with the President.
The Vice President made one point,
however, which should be taken to heart.
With the Soviet Premier coming to this
country next month, Mr.. Nixon asked all
Americans to show him the same cour-
tesieS that were accorded the Nixon
party in Russia. 1t is important, he said,
to provide "the best possible climate"
for the discussions which Mr.. Khru-
Shchev will have with Mr.. Eisenhower
because these talks could have a great
bearing on the course of peace"
This, we believe, is true. 1t is belief
that derives support not only from the
reception given Mr.. Nixon behind. the
Iron Curtain, but also from the tone of
Mr.. Khrushchev'S press conference in
Moscow yesterday.
Declaring that he was not coming to
the United States to rattle sabersA Mr..
KhruShchev went on to say that there
are no inSoluble issues dividing our
country and Russia and no territorial
disputes. This being the case, he added,
cooperation between the two countries
should be attainable, and if this is &C
compliShed an enduring peace should
result.
Well, it is fact, of course, that
words are one thing and performance
another But it is difficult to believe that
Mr.. Khrushchev is coming here in the
hope of bamboozling us or pulling the
wool over anyone'S eyes. 1t is too late in
the day for that, and he must know it.
We prefer to believe that he is coming
here in an attempt to prepare the way
for mutually advantageous settlement
that will be acceptable to both East
and West. If such a settlement can be
reached it will be very much to the ad-
vantage of all concerned. And it will be
a greaI shame if the opportunity is pref
udiced because some Americans, however
understandable their feelings, decide to
give Mr.. Khrushchev the back-o the
hand treatment.

presidential nomination ef-
fectively by simply replying:
II am not q candidate for
Vice President" But the
Governor Of New York APP
parently burned all bridges
behind him. so far as q vice
presidential nomination Is
concerned. Even If the public
opinion polls should indicate
Mr.. Nixon can defeat @ DEM
ocratic opponent for the pres
idency and Gov. Rockefeller
sticks to his announced plan
not to run, he seemingly has
cut himself OF from a vice
presidential nomination, al
though II he ran with Mr..
Nixon he might greatly
strengthen the Republican
ticket.
Many Republicans will
regret such a decision. No
matter what the polls may
show, the Republican Party is
likely to face a tough battle
in the national election next
year.
Second Highest Office
The vice presidency also
happens to be the second
highest elective office in the
gift Of the American people.
1t is an important office. Not
only may a Vice President
succeed to the presidency
as many have in the history
of the country-but a Vice
President can be of great
service, as Vice President
Nixon has been repeatedly,
particularly in his recent
visit to the USSR.
In the past, men of great
ability and Importance have
accepted nominations for
Vice President. Theodore
Roosevelt. when Governor Of
New York as Rockefeller is
today, accepted such a nomi-
nation. He later became
President by reason of the
death Of President Mckinley.
He later still was elected
President in his own right.
Few men have contributed as
much to the country as did
Col. Roosevelt.
Another Roosevelt, Frank
lin D., accepted nomination
for Vice President in 1920.
when 1t was widely expected
his party would 60 down to
defeat-as it did. Later FDR
was the Governor Of New
York and then President of
the United States.
There is every good reason
that a national political
party in framing its presi-
dental ticket should name
its strongest and most, able
man for Vice President, after
selecting its presidential
nominee. Should Mr.. Nixon
be the G. O.P. presidential
nominee, Gov. Rockefeller
could well afford to take a
second look at a vice preSi-
Dental nomination If it came
his way.
Gov. Rockefeller is not
making a frontal attack on
Mr.. Nixon. He is leaving that
to the public opinion polls.
But the suggestion is there
that the Vice President is
lacking strength to win. And
it can be used by Rockefeller
campaigners, who are al
ready under way.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

There can be no doubt,
Henry, that walking would
do most of us good.
The only exception we can
see is one of these lively
lads who never, positively
never, stops for a second. He
is perpetual motion, and does
his best in war, of course.
but manages to do very well
in peace, too.
We have often gazed in
amazement at this wonderful
person, of whom there are
many everywhere. One can
not imagine how such a per-
son ever rests.
The rest of US, however, as
our correspondent suspects,
need some sort of daily exer-
else.
Two suggestions from high
sources have been made in
the past year.
One is, and the most diff
cult, for an hours walk be-
fore breakfast.
We sincerely believe that
no one does this in Washing
ton any more since Harry
Truman left.
1t is an advice of perfec-
ton.
The other suggestion, also
from a high medical source,
is to walk 20 minutes three
times a day.
This second plan would be
easier to follow. Offhand, al
most all of us could walk 20
minutes three times a day:
the first period. on the way to
work; the second, at lunch
time, and the third, on the
way home. This is about as
painless as walking can be
made. The consecutive quality
of an hour at q time might
be better. theoretically, but
actually three periods of 20
minutes each would outweigh
an hours walking which was
never taken!
We advise our correspond
ent to fool himself as best he
can. in this thing Of daily
walking. The fact that one
talks about walking. and even
writes about walking, shows
that the walking is being
done only in the imagination.
One must take exercise out
Of the mind and put 1t firmly
in the open air before it does
one much good. The Seden-
tary person does not possess
the "get up and go" necessary
for success, so he must force
himself a bit. at first. There
after he will be plagued by
excuses to get out Of his self
imposed task. If he gives in
to them. he might as well 60
back to his chair.
AS for fancy ways Of walk
ing, none of them is any
better for daily use than just
plain walking. This means at
a normal pace, or q little
better. perhaps. The only re-
striction Il not to dawdle.

Reduction PeriIs

1t has been called to my
attention that DR.. LauriSton
S. Taylor, chairman of the
National Committee on Ra-
diation Protection and Meas
urements NCRP), on June
20 in a letter to The Eve
ming Star disputed my state
ment to your columnist, Lii
liam Levy, that the above
committee had deviated from
the International Committee
on Ra diation Protection
QCRP) in its recommended
lions. I should like to ask
the courtesy Of permission to
reply.
In the official release from
the United States Depart
ment Of Commerce, National
Bureau of Standards, Docu-
ment TRG-6245, pages six
and seven, it is stated, 1.-THE
ICRP has made some tenta-
tive recommendations CAL
tered downward relative to
whole population exposure
the NCRP considers that
undue risks to the population
will not be incurred by fol-
lowing current policies for a
while longer :" In view of
the fact that the ICRP rec
ommendation is for a lower
ing of the permissible values
for the general population,
and that the NCRP has not
seen fit to make a comparable
change, I find DR.. Taylor's
statement to be somewhat
less than fully accurate.
1t is, of course, possible to
argue that the NCRP has
made no specific recommen-
dalton whatever for the gen.
eral population, which is
what the lower values of the
ICRP refer to, but even here,
the above quotation from the
official news release, and the
remarks on pages six and
Is Of Handbook SO of the
National Bureau of Stand
ards leave no doubt that the
NCRP, intended to leave the
general population" per-
Missile values at one-tenth
of the professional radia-
ton workers" despite the
lowering of levels by the
ICRP. If they did not so in
tend, why did they not change
them when the ICRP did?

In all the Juror of Nixon's
tour of the Soviet Union,
his fabulous meeting with
Khrushchev. plus the invita-
ton to Khrushchev to visit
the United States, it seems
to me that the real issue has
been lost track Of.
1t is a currently popular
belief that free exchange of
people from the United
States and the USSR will
result in better understand
ing and a chance for a peace
full solution to our differ
enceS.
Actually, such an exchange
will mean exactly what the
Kremlin wants it to and
when. The basic aim of COM
munism hasn't changed one
iota and the present Krem-
lin leaders strive toward the
same goal of world domina-
ton as did Stain and Lenin.
AS a student of Russian
history, I find it appalling
that We in America can con-
tinue to search for any basis
for trust of the Russians.
History, especially recent his
tory, completely excludes any
possibility Of understanding,
trust or peace with a nation
which so brutally liquidated
and continues to murder and
enslave their own citizens,
not to mention their bar
barous atrocities committed
in other nations as well.
Whether or not the Soviets
bury" US with nuclear or
economic war is not the
point. The point is they in
tend to bury us. Khrushchev
has said so and he means it.
The goal Of Marx-Leninism
is what 1t has always been
world domination and by any
means, and before we delude
ourselves further, we'd better
think twice about that.

Breathes there a man with
soul so dead he can cheer
Khrushchev's arrival in the
United States?

stroyer of the Cody and the
maker of misery.

With such performances and such

Mr.. Richards complaints would seem to
indicate.

Dear Sir:
II notice that from time to
time you say something about
walking, and I wonder if you
can tell me the best way to
walk
II have seen articles about
heel-and-toe walking, and
other kinds of fancy walking,
and I would like to know if
they have any advantage
over plain walking.
When I was a child, we
walked all over the city. es-
pecially out to the Zoo, where
we spent the day walking
around, and you know how
much you can walk out there.
I'm those days there was no
thought of danger to children
walking anywhere. We went
to the river. the creek, and
over to a place called the
red lot which was over
Georgetown way someplace,
though nobody I have asked
remembers where, or what
we went there for. 1t was
some kind of athletic en-
deavor.
II am much older now, and
have a car, but am coming to
believe that I do not walk
enough.
II have tried walking to
work. but it makes me too
tired.
II have tried walking from
work, but it is not far enough
to do me any good.
II wonder if you have any
method of walking.
Walking seems to be just
right, as far as 1 can see, for
what is called vaguely general
exercise. Some people call it
constitutional exercise.
Il have read many books
on exercise, but mostly they
are about sports of one kind
or another. Walking seems to
be a sort of poor cousin of
sports.
LET me know if there is
any special type of walking
for the sedentary worker, so
called.
Il looked up this word Sed-
entary, and found it means
to sit.
well, I guess I am a sit
ter, as most people are today.
Sometimes we forget how
much we use chairs, at home,
going down town, in the
office.
1T is no wonder that we
are called Sedentary workers.
The word comes, the diction-
airy says, from a Latin word
meaning to Sit
II believe I am in a chair
about IA hours a day, and
the rest I am lying down in
sleep.
so I believe walking will
do me good. What do you
think?
your truly, HENRY ]. j."

THE POLITICAL MILL
RockefeiIer's NO to No. 2 SPOT
By GOULD LINCOLN

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
OF New York has made It
entirely clear he wants the
Republican presidential NOM
nation in 1860. Further, he
has made 1t clear he will seek
that nomination If he is con-
WINGED he is stronger with
the voters than is Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon.
His test will be public
opinion polls pitting both
him and Mr.. Nixon against
potential Democratic nomi-
nees for President. For ex-
ample, polls which place him
and Mr.. Nixon in opposition
TO such likely candidates as
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts,. Adlai Steven
son, former Governor of Il
linois; Senator Stuart Sy-
Inington Of Missouri, Senator
Lyndon johnson of Texas
and Senator Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota.
Presumably Gov. Rookie
Teller will have private polls
at his disposal, as we'll as
the professional public opin-
ion polls, like the Gallup poll.
Presumably he and his sup
porters will rely in part on
personal interviews with
party leaders in important
States. The Governor has
said he hopes to make a deci-
sion by November.
Despite this talk of polls
and tests, there is strong
conviction that Gov. Rock
efeller will run against Mr..
Nixon for the COP. NOM
nation. Indeed, the cam
paign has already been
started by his supporters.
And whatever he may say,
that campaign will try to
convince party leaders that
MIR. Nixon not only has less
chance to win than Gov.
Rockefeller, but that Mr..
Nixon cannot win and the
Governor can.
No one can reasonably
blame Gov. Rockefeller for an
ambition to become President.
Furthermore, he is a man of
personal charm. ability and
integrity. He has devoted
much Of his adult life to pub
lie service under several Pres
identS. He won last fall an
impressive election for Gov
ernor Of New York and so far
has done an admirable job.
Rejects No. 2 Post
Gov. Rockefeller's deter
mination to seek the pres
idential nomination was
further emphasized by a
statement that under no
circumstances" would he &C
cept a vice presidential nom
nation, as reported from
Puerto Rico during the recent
Governors conference by the
New York Times. He was tell
ing Republican leaders who
have hoped for a Nixon
Rockefeller ticket that if they
want the New York Governor
on their national ticket, they
must give him first place.
Naturally no candidate for
a presidential nomination is
going to announce publicly
he would be satisfied . with
second place on the ticket.
He could have answered all
questions regarding q vice

Henry L. Mencken, the late
sage of Baltimore, was right
when he, explaining what it
means to be an American,
said:
Here Is a country In
which all political thought
and activity are concentrated
upon the scramble for Jobs
in which the normal poll
tician. whether he be a
President or q village road
supervisor, is willing to re-
nounce any principle, how
ever precious to him, and to
adopt any lunacy, however
offensive to him, in order to
keep his place at the
trough"
President Eisenhower's de-
cision to invite Nikita Khru-
shchev to visit the United
States proves just that.
Imants BalOdis.
Chicago, III.
Concerning Comrade Khru-
shchev's visit I have a few
questions:
When are we going to stop
shaking the bloody hands of
the comrades?
Just how does the Govern
ment propose to change the
Communist theology of world
domination? They have al
ready said our children would
be Communists.

from a discriminating snob
to his fellow-snobS who are
at this season in residence
at some of the Maryland
beaches.
Since we now have two

you deny beach facilities to

from Beverly Beach? He is a
decorated veteran of World
War II and of partly Japa-
nese extraction.
I doubt if these two gentle

beaches in 1860, but Suppos-

day as members of an in

official capacity, to inquire
into the proper disposal of
beer bottle caps, or more

out in his sermon that each

a churchman endowed with
great gifts of mind and heart.
Each one made his own
