|USTA without expense TO the
States. The USTA therefore
functions much in the same
manner as the Thoroughbred
Racing Association does on
the fiat tracks.
The cooperative efforts Of
the State commissions and the
USTA has been Of great heneft
to harness racing as q whole.
The Nationwide application Of
uniform rules has forestalled
many conflicts and much con-
fusion.
This is important to officials
and horsemen and very helpful
in establishing the confidence
Of the public in harness racing.

Surprises Put
Fairfax Nine
In First Place

Fairfax High School is the
sole occupant Of first place in
the Northern Virginia Group /
League baseball standings as a
result Of two surprises last
night.
Fairfax. behind Bubby Tai
bots three-hit pitching, moved
up by beating Washington-Lee,
2-l, at Fairfax. while Mclean
dumped Groveton from the top
spot with a So decision at
Mount Vernon. Both games
we're postponed Tuesday by the
rain.
A bases-loaded single by Dick
Titus broke IL tie in favor Of
Fairfax in the last inning.
In the Inter high League yes

Mckinley Tech alone at the
head of the East Division
standings. Tech, now 81 COM
pared to Anacostia, Spingarn
and Phelps at 80. can move a

Trader Khrushchev

During his recent visit to Pitts
burgh, the ebullient Nikita S. Khru-
shchev had a pleasant little encounter
with millworker who gave him cheap
cigar. In exchange, the Soviet Premier
took off his wristwatch and presented
it to the mana decidedly generous
gesture in view of Russian estimates
that such timepiece sells for the equiv
alent of SIPS in the USSR.
A hard-headed Pittsburgh jeweler,
however, has just had look at the
watch. In his opinion, it is very poorly
made" and worth only about $14. Still,
even if this appraisal is sound, the time
piece is a lot more valuable than the
millworker's nondescript cigar, and Mr..
Khrushchev ought to be credited with
having been open-hearted and kind
enough to give far in excess of what he
received.
There may be moral of some sort
in this story. Anyhow, the incident
suggests that Mr.. KhruShchev may be
willing to go at least halfway in trade.
Let's hope we can look for some OF
the same spirit in the forthcoming
political trades.

Strictly for the Bots

Every once in while, or perhaps
oftener, some appalling information on
things to come filters through to us
from the so-called world of fashion.
The latest such is that one school of
design for mems styles has produced
working models of -collared tweed
sports coat, a sweater with bat-wing
sleeves and a suit with pull-over top
instead of a conventional jacket. In
terestingly enough, the fashion reporter
went to some pains to protest that these
designs "were not dreamed up by iSo-
lated freaks in ivory towers" an opin-
ion which may hinge largely on ques-
ton of definition.
Among other things, the whole
business serves to point up the discern
ment of one Miss Bronwen Pugh, de-
scribed by the Associated Press as
"willowy West End model" in London.
Speaking at symposium sponsored by
Queen Mother Elizabeth, Miss Pugh
said: Maybe we models look silly in
some of the fashions we demonstrate,
but assure you men would look sillier."
They sure would, Miss Pugh, especially
in bat-wing sleeves ct cetera.

Bad Advice on Berlin

Ours being free society, every
man, no matter how mistaken he may
be, has right to speak his piece-and
this definitely includes Dean Acheson.
The former Secretary of State is some
thing of special case, however, since
many people think of him as the foreign
policy adviser to the Democratic Party.
!. Mr.. Acheson'S latest observations,
as reported from Bonn, strike us as
adding up to very poor advice. He thinks
that President Eisenhower has blum
dered in attempting to lay the ground
work for an agreement with Mr. Khru-
shchev on the status of West Berlin.
Mr.. AcheSon would do nothing about
Berlin. In fact, he wouldn't even dis
cusS it; he would tell Mr.. Khrushchev
that there is nothing to talk about
there.
This is reminiscent of waiting to
let the dust settle over CHINA strategy
which worked all right except that when
the dust settled China had gone to the
Communists. OF course we can stand
pat on West Berlin and refuse even to
discuss the question. But if we do this
there is nothing to prevent the Russians
from signing a separate peace treaty
with East Germany and handing over
their occupation responsibilities to the
East Germans. This would mean that
the supply routes to West Berlin, which
lies 10 miles inside Communist terri
tory, would be under the control of the
East Germans, and that could lead to a
most difficult situation for the United
States and its Allies.
1t is much more sensible, we think,
to- talk with Mr.. KhruShcheV in an eff
fort to work out mutually acceptable
accommoda tion.

Poyinq the Piper

Tomorrow will be $2-billion bar
gain day for investors in United States
Government securities. For on that day
only, Treasury Department subscription
books will be open on $2-billion offer
ing of four-year ten-month notes bear
ing per cent intereSt-the highest
return offered on any Government Sc
curity since 1929. On Wednesday, the
Treasury will make second $2-billion
offering-of 245-day tax anticipation
bills on which the price, and conse-
quently the yield, will be set by COM
petitive bidding.
The Treasury is not, of course, be-
ing impelled by generosity in setting
the high interest rate on it's notes. In
deed, for the taxpayers as whole it is
bad news in terms of increasing the
cost of financing the mountainous pub
lie debt, and will be reflected in an
increase in the interest item in the Fed
eral budget. The department is, instead,
trying to make the best of a. difficult
situation arising out of refusal of the
Congress to remove the 40-year-old stat
utory ceiling of 4.25 per cent which may
be paid on Government bonds-securi-
ties maturing in five years or longer.
It has found already that it cannot sell
Government bonds, except for the small
denomination Series E and H issues, I'M
der this ceiling. In free market econ
orny, the owners of capital are under
no duresS to lend it to the Government
at less than what they consider fair
price.
The anomaly in this situation is
that the Treasury can, and must, pay
an interest rate higher than the ceiling
for less desirable form of financing.
In announcing the current offerings,
for example, department officials spec
ulated that they could-if legally free
to do so-have f1oated 25-year bond
in today'S markets at only slightly more
than the 4.25 per cent rate. Aside from
the advantage in cost, such an issue
would have had the further attraction
of extending the average length Of the
public debt, reducing the upsetting fire.
ouency with which the Treasury is be-
ing forced to go into the money market,
and relieving some of the inf1ationary
pressure which shortterm financing
exertS.
Only last July, the Treasury found
that the best terms it could get by COM
petitive bidding on $2-billion series Of
one-year bills was 4.728 per cent. The
58-month series of notes represents an
effort to get away from top-heavy
reliance on one-year financing, with the
rate set at per cent to assure accept
ance OF the issue. Within the coming
twelve months, approximately $76 bill
lion of Treasury securities will have to
be ref1nanced or paid off. 1t should be
top order of business for Congress to
take another, and more understanding,

Crimes Danger Period

The assignment of more policemen
to street patrols comes at critical time.
For the season of longer nights is at
hand-the season that affords a maxi
mum of cover for the lurking yokerS,
pocketbook SnatcherS and other crimi-
nails Recognizing the seriousness OF the
Street-crime threat, the Police Depart
ment wisely has not awaited the recruit
ment of the 100 additional officers
authorized by Congress. Pending the
enrolment of new men, Chief Murray
has called on members of his force to
volunteer for extra duty. They have
responded promptly and willingly
The volunteer system under which
policemen work an extra day each week,
at regular pay rates, has worked well
during previous emergency periods. The
plan has the added merit of placing ex-
perienced patrolmen on beats where
police have had more than the usual
amount of trouble AS the new men are
recruited and trained, of course. the
extraeduty volunteers will be replaced
by men on regular assignments.
With major crimes showing
steady increase in Washington in recent
months, the potential addition of 100
patrolmen to the force is most timely.
