hour those of us who were crowd
ed into the small Press Club dining
room listened to the dreary recital
of old Communist stereotypes by
the Russian boss.
Yet one subject-Soviet man
ners-was nowhere mentioned in
his long grafton. And it was Soviet
manners, for which read Inter
national behavior" that was the
one subject on nearly everyone's
mind. For the fact is that If this
tour turns out to be a big bust"
it will be Mr.. K. and his cohorts
who will be to blame.
Only a week ago there was trei
mendous good feeling in the Capt.
tai about having Khrushchev here.
The advertised protests of various
well-meaning anti Communists
were dismissed as misguided, mere
reflections of ultra right wing
thinking. The President and the
Republicans generally realized they
were taking tremendous political
risks but, as Mr.. Eisenhower has
often said, he would do anything
in the cause Of preserving peace
or go anywhere, even Moscow.
Just when the Administration
was helping to soften the hostile
feelings that were widely held,
the Russians shot off their rocket
to the moon. Khrushchev may con-
slider this a happy coincidence"
+ but to many Americans, including
the President, this seemed like a
show Of power, a flexing of the
muscles, that was hardly conduc-
Give to friendly, informal talks.
Why did the Russians choose
this time to do it? The answer
may be that they still feel so I'M
sure of themselves that they be-
lieve they have to show the world
that they are to be taken seriously.
If this is correct, what they do
not yet understand is that they are
being taken very seriously.
But the moon shot" may also
have been meant to scare us. After
all If a nation can land a rocket
on the moon and be only one NOM
ent off in its calculations then It
should be pretty easy to aim a
rocket at New York or Denver
or Norfolk, Va. The reason I liked
Lawrence's question was that 1t
showed Mr.. X. that, despite all
the threats Of Soviet power,
Americans do not scare easily,
even when they are impressed.

capital only -FOUR months a1Ler Lne
1856 revolt. That took brass.
But when Mr.. K. met the Amer
lean press at the National Press
Club he ran into something that
even the most brilliant Soviet
planner could not have forecast.
He was asked a question, so per-
sonal and so provocative, that it
sent him into an emotional tor
nado.
The question was put to him by
william Lawrence, The New York
Times political reporter, who is
this years President Of the club.
AS Lawrence suggested in his
opening remarks, the incident may
have been apochryphal, or it may
have been true. The story was that
during his speech denouncing the
Grimes Of the Stain era" he was
sent an unsigned note by a Rus
sian Communist in the audience
asking where were your" when
these crimes" were committed :?
According to the story, Khrush-
chew paused, looked around the
room and asked If the man who
sent the note would care to rise
and identify himself. No one stood
up. Then, Lawrence asserted,
Khrushchev noted that no one had
risen to speak up and he is alleged
to have said, That's where I was
when Stains crimes were COM
mitted."
Anyone who saw the episode on
television, or who was in the room
when Lawrence asked this ques-
ton, can testify that Mr.. K. him
self nearly hit the moon. He was
outraged, offended and for a NOM
ent the cold war looked as If IL
might get hot.
AS 1t often does when someone
asks a particularly embarrassing
question at the Press Club, the
Lawrence question provoked a long
debate afterwards at the Press
Club bar. Should it have been
asked? Was this not insulting
President Eisenhower's guest
Wouldn't a question Of this sort
make Khrushchev pretty sore and
cause him to do all sorts of un-
pleasant things? That was the
range of the argument.

Church Will Save
Big YuIe Tree,
In Cross Form

The big national Christmas
tree on the Ellipse-usually
burned after the holiday sea-
son-will be fashioned into a
cross and set up on the lawn of
the proposed Bethesda Con-
gregational Church in March.
1T will be about 80 feet
high" said the church's pas
tor, the Rev. Mr.. Grover Rieger.
"It will certainly be much more
symbolic than the steel cross
we had planned last summer. "
Mr.. Rieger said the idea was
formed during a meeting of
his congregations Buildin g
Committee.
81 wrote the National Park
Service after Thanksgiving just
to see what would happen, ="
Mr.. Rieger said. Meanwhile,
congregation member Frederic
Fox, a White House assistant,
also made inquiries. The Of
fetal answer received this week
was, "yes."
Mr.. Rieger said the congre-
cation, now meeting for two
years in the Wyngate Ele-
mentary School in Bethesda,
will take the tree out to the
church's 7-acre site at the
corner of Fernwood road and
Democracy boulevard, Bethes-
da, and will set it up in March
when building starts on the
lchurch.

SWITCHORDERED
FOR RUSH HOURS
ON VIRGINIA NV.

An unbalanced traffic lane
system on Virginia avenue
NV. during rush hours
was ordered today by the
Commissioners.
The plan, recommended
by the highway depart
ment. provides for a go
lane setup from E street to
Twenty-second street and
a 81 system for the re-
naming stretch of Virginia
avenue to the Rock Creek
parkway.
Under the system the
majority of available traffic
lanes will be given to
southbound motorists from
Z to $3.50 am, with the re-
verse situation during the
4 to $3.50 pm. period.
The plan also calls for
closing the ramp leading
from the parkway to the
WhitehurSt freeway dur
ing the afternoon rush
hours to eliminate a jam
there.
The effective date has
not been set.

Youth Court
Set
ForMonduy

Senator Hennings, Democrat
Of Missouri, today said Congress
has an opportunity here to
meet the problem of juvenile
delinquency through better
court and rehabilitation ma
chinery.
He said Congress could de-
sign a system of courts and re-
habilitation methods in the
District that could "serve as an
inspiring model to communities
throughout the country"
The Senator's remarks came
as the Senate subcommittee in
vestigating juvenile delinquency
announced it would conduct
public hearings here next Mon
day and Tuesday on improving
juvenile court machinery in
Washington. Senator Hennings
is chairman.
The Senator pictured the
local delinquency problem as
a major one and added that
leach year for over a decade
now, statistics on juvenile mis-
behavior and youthful forays
into crime have risen sharply"
The subcommittee announced
it would call a group of experts
as the first witnesses in the
investigation.
They are:
Chief Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man of the United States
Court Of Appeals; Judge Orm
w. Ketcham of the Juvenile
Court; Judge Alexander Holt
zoff of United States District
Court; Police Chief Robert v.
Murray, with Inspector John E.
Winters and Capt. John F.
Ryan; Gerard M. Shea, direc-
tor of Public Welfare; A. Muir
ray Preston, chairman of the
District Judicial Conference
Committee; Lawrence Speiser,
executive secretary of the Wash
ington Office, American Civil
Liberties Union, and Mrs. G.
Lyle Belsley of the League of
Women Voters.
Senator Hennings said the
juvenile court system is one
Of the country's most vital un-
dertakings, but added, "Un-
fortunately we have failed to
provide the necessary tools for
truly effective rehabilitation
programs"

District Names Baird
Hospital Administrator

The Commissioners today
named William w. Baird, now
associate administrator of Dis
trict General Hospital. to be
the hospital administrator.
The 42-year-old management
specialist will be the hospitals
fourth administrator in 212
years. He succeeds DR.. Joseph
Karlton Owen, who resigned
December II.
Since last August the admin
istrator post has been second

mand. 1t was in August that
DR.. John D. Schultz, chief of
pSychiatry, took the No. l post
as medical director.
AS soon as the Baird appoint
ment was announced today. DR..
Schultz said he expects to work
closely with Mr.. Baird in con-
tinuing the development OF
programs initiated by DR.. Owen.
DR.. Schultz said he expects a
smooth transition since Mr..
Baird had been associated
closely with Mr.. Owen in
working out new adminiStra-
tive techniques, and I'VE will
develop the program along
lines in which we have already
made some progress and which
I heartily indorse."
Mr.. Baird, DR.. Schultz said,
was chosen from a number OF
candidates by a committee
consisting of Commissioner
David B. Karrick, Health Di-
rector Daniel L. Finucane and
DR.. Schultz.

YOUTH FOR CHRIST RALLY
Teens Eloquent in Soviour's Cause

nifty to establish a Christian
basis for the world of tomor-
row" "
The Rev. Chuck Harwood,
executive director of Youth for
Christ of Greater Washington,
said he was awed by the elo-
quence of the youngsters. For
his own part, Mr.. Harwood
said, he experienced in the
convention "the thrill of the
joy during these momentous
days of reaching teens who in
turn will reach other teens for
Christ in their school and COM
munity."
Mr.. Harwood said the Youth
for Christ clubs in the Wash
ington area have about 1000
members in the District, Arling-
ton and Alexandria. He said,
in the next few weeks, there
will be a concerted effort to
expand the work to nearby
Maryland.
Roy B. McKeown, executive
director of the convention, said
there are 250,000 teen-agers in
Youth for Christ clubs all over
the Nation. The clubs work
through the high schools, usual
ly holding weekly meetings after
school and rallies Saturday
night.
Despite all the noise and con-
fusion, police on hand at the
Armory marveled at the good
behavior of the teen-agers.
Police Corpl. Thomas ]. VOL
frey, for one, described their be-
havior as excellent.
No Discipline Problem
DR.. Ted w. EngStrom, pres
ident of Youth for Christ In
ternational, today said there
had not been one discipline
problem since the convention
began. L.
Groups of parents often
gathered at the coffee counter
to exchange words of praise
about their charges. "See, give
the kids some guidance and
they're fine" was a typical
comment. There were adult
leaders for about every IL chill
dren. But they had little to do.
The funSpiration capped a
busy first day of the three-day
convention. At the opening
session yesterday, the dele
gates heard DR.. Ted w. Eng
strom, president of Youth for
Christ International, call for
a spiritual revolution.
1.-THE only antidote to our
present moral collapse" DR..
Engstrom said, sis a spiritual
counterattack." He urged the
youths to dedicate yourselves
to Christ and thereby effect
a revolution.
