Board of Governors of the
Monetary Fund, INF Director
Per Jacobson hailed the
imagination and courage" of
IA Western European coun-
tries for having established
external convertibility of their
currencieS.
The consequence was, he said,
that monetary confidence has
been increasing conspiculously
in Western Europe"
Mr.. Jacobson said the re-.
moval Of restrictions on the
exchange of money may be re-
garded as "the' consummation
Of the first stage of a process
extending over many years for
strengthening the economic
and financial position of coun-
tries sll over the world"
Mr.. Jacobson said the ex-
perience of European coun-
tries which have gradually
abolished discriminatory trade
policies proved that fears Of
such measures were exag-
gerated.
Another topic that will oc-
cupy the finance ministers and
bankers during their week-long
sessions involves foreign re-
strictions from the United
States.
Mr.. Jacobson told newsmen
that the need for these curbs,
imposed during the postwar
dollar shortage" is past.
American officials have said
they expect many Of the re-
strictions to be relaxed or re-
moved in the coming months.
The Monetary Fund warned
yesterday that worldwide eco
nomic recovery is reviving the
hazard Of imitation.
The INF called for stern ac-
ton by governments to preserve
the stability Of their moneys. :
"The need for positive poll
cies is all the greater" the
fund said, because in many
countries there is still a lin
gering expectation of imitation,
nourished by years Of rising
prices and their failure to fall
during the recession in North
America. ~C
"Such a situation may we'll
require a clear demonstration
by the authorities that no
further imitation will be al
lowed"
Budget Relatively Balanced
In the United States, Mr.. Eli
senhower said, recovery from
the recession has been accom-
panied by a relatively stable
price level, and, at the moment,
a relatively balanced budget.
These are signs Of the prog
reSS that can be made if a
Nation can achieve inf1ation-
free growth, he said.
Secretary of Treasury Ander-
son, speaking after Mr.. Eisen-
hover, said "it would be un-.
fortunate If we did not help in
these situations, where often
only a relatively small margin
of capital is needed" but can
not be provided under the
stringent terms of the World
Bank.
By attaching the IDA to the
World Bank, he said, the World
Bank would have assurance
that the association would not
compete or conflict with the
operations of the bank.
Also, Mr.. Anderson said, it
would give assurance that the
associations membership would
be made up of free nations
subscribing to the sound
monetary policies" Of the In
ternational Fund.
I'VE recognize that we are
breaking new ground in an in
ternational undertaking of this
Sort" Mr.. Anderson said. Be
cause it is new we need to ap-
proach it with an attitude of
f1exibility."

Radios Farewell
In q farewell radiogram to
Mr.. Eisenhower dispatched
from his plane last night, he
expressed confidence that his
talks with the President had
achieved their purpose Of easing
cold war tensions. Prospects for
mutual understanding between
the Soviet Union and the
United States are ION the
aScendancy." he said.
In an earlier parting address
to Americans, the Kremlin
chief said:
1--WE liked your beautiful
cities and wonderful roads, but
most Of all your amiable and
kind-hearted people"
Throughout the final day Of
his tempestuous visit to this
country, the meccurial Mr..
Khrushchev beamed his con-
viction that the American
people wanted peace as much
as the citizens Of the Soviet.
He and Mr.. Eisenhower
agreed in their formal COM
munique that "all outstanding
international questions should
be settled not by the applica-
ton Of force, but by peaceful
means through negotiation"
Nixon Expresses Hopes
Vice President Nixon, who
saw Mr.. Khrushchev of at An
drews Air Force Base, told
the Kremlin leader:
You will take with you the
hopes. the prayers of all the
American peoples for the great
cause Of peace and friendship
among all the peoples Of this
earth"
Mr.. Eisenhower had said
good-by to Mr.. Khrushchev at
Blair House yesterday after
noon. after they had motored
back to Washington together
from Camp David, the site of
their week end conference cap
ping the Premier's dramatic
American visit.
Before his departure, Mr..
Khrushchev held an hour -long
press conference and delivered
a 45-minute address over Ma
tionwide television.
Answering questions for an
audience Of some 400 newsrnen
at the National Press Club, he
had little to say that he hadn't
said before and was amiably
noncommittal on the specifics
Of his conversations with Mr..
Eisenhower.

each other that they didn't care
to make. public. Mr.. Khru-
shchev left the impression that
this may have included new as
surances on his part that the
Soviet Union will respect West
ern rights in Berlin.
But he held firm to the So
Wet position that there must be
separate peace treaties with
East and West Germany. The
Russian threat to sign a treaty
with the East Germans, turn
ing over control Of access routes

would be a good place for the
Big Four conference.
Mr.. Khrusllchev's television
address coupled his familiar
theme Of peaceful co-ex;stence
with a solemn sermon on the
glories of the Communist way.
II have no doubts whatso-
ever that the President sin
cerely desires an improvement
Of relations between our coun-
tries" he declared.
Positions Compared
TT seems to me that the
United States President is in
a more difficult situation than
I am. Evidently those forces
in the United States which
hinder the improvement of re-
lations between our countries
and an international detente
are still influential"
Mr.. Khrushchev had been in
a joShing, jovial mood during
his press conference, but he
was sober and unsmiling as he
delivered his final address to
the American people.
There can be no stability
or tranquility in the world so
long as the two strongest pow
ers are not on good terms with
each other" he warned.
Imagine the following pic
ture. Two neighbors live side
by side. Each of them doesn't
like the routine and way of
life in the others house. So
they build up a fence and,
with their households. abuse
each other night and day.
"Is it a happy life such
neighbors live? Anyone will
say that it isn't. Sooner or
later things can come to

Evangelistic Note

His address took on an
evangelistic note as, reverting
to his role as the number one
salesman of communism, he
boasted of the millennium that
is ahead for Soviet citizens.
I'm the near future we are
going to abolish - I repeat,
abolish - all taxation of the
people," he declared.
The Soviet Union, he said,
will surpass the United States
in industrial output within 10
to IL years.
His news conference was in
remarkable contrast to his first
question and answer session
with reporters in the same ball
room Of the National Press
Club only IL days previously.
Then he had exploded over
needing questions, giving
Americans their first look at
his easily triggered temper.

Vote Against Spite

In touch-and-go battle, Suffi-
cient minority of the House has voted
to uphold President Eisenhower'S veto
of the bill to take Rural Identification
Administration loan-making authority
away from Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son. The 146 members, including four
Democrats, who prevailed on this issue
against the $50 who voted to override
deserve commentator for their I'M
willingness to participate in piece of
mischievous politicking.
1t was obvious from the beginning
that the legislation was more an effort
to veto" Mr. Benson, favorite whip
ping boy" on Capitol Hill, than anything
else 1t was Congress itself that placed
the REA under the Department of Agri-
culture and the record speaks for its sue
cessful operation under that control
particularly during Mr.. BenSonS tenure
as Secretary. The House action was
a vote for orderly Government, and
against personal spite.

Dangerous, but

Though still one of the deadlieSt of
the radioactive materials unleashed by
nuclear explosions, Strontium-9O appar-
emily is not quite so dangerous as here
tofore believed. At any rate, in the new
handbook just issued by the National
Committee on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, there is a considerable
revision OF the committees past calcula-
lions regarding the human bodys ca
paclty to absorb the substance without
seriously menacing health.
Thus the committee, which is the
most authoritative group of its kind in
the United States, and probably in the
world, now has doubled it's old estimate
OF how much Strontium-90 can be al
lowed to accumulate in persons system
without creating an unacceptable"
Mountaineering hazard capable of
leading to bone cancer or leukemia in
the affected individuals. Moreover, the
committee has found reason at the same
time to increase by Is per cent "the
maximum permissible concentration" of
this material in milk, food and water
the amount of it, that is, which can be
tolerated without riSking real damage
to the body.
Covering about 24O other radio
active substances as well, the commit
tees revised handbook is designed pri-
marily to establish basic health protect
ing standards both for workers in atomic
plants and for people living in the
neighborhood of such plants. But by
implication at least, especially as re-
CARDS Strontium- 80, it also has a bearing
on the problem of fallout caused by
atmospheric nuclear tests. In that re-
Spect, it plainly suggests that the peril
GUS nature of such radioactivity has
been exaggerated and that the general
populations ability to live with it, in
relative safety, is substantially greater
than former estimates have indicated.
To say this, of course, is not to be-
little the potential menace inherent in
fallout, particularly in the event of I'M
restrained atmospheric nuclear testing.
But the radiation committees latest
findings serve to put the matter in
proper perspective. They are findings
that support the view of our Atomic
Energy Commission and they should
tend to calm down those alarmiStS who
have been discussing the problem in
the most extravaganza terms.

The ABC of Art

The silly season is here again-the
season when college boys pack them
selves into telephone booths, stage panty
raids and otherwise amuse themselves
and others with inane activities. We
have come to expect this sort of thing
from college boys. But it is rather
surprising, to say the least, to find an
adult public agency like the District AL
coholic Beverage Control Board exhibit
ing symptoms of sophomore foolishnesS.
How else can one account for the
ABC Boards edict against art shows in
restaurants holding one of the boards
&C. licenses? ABC Chairman Frank
Weakly explains that an art show ''just
isn't in keeping with the spirit of a &C.
license" He added that eff we let this
go, everyone would be having art shows"

to the board, although we Shamefacedly
confess that the idea sort of appeals
to those of us accustomed to staring at
drab walls while eating a sandwich or
holding a glass.

Paris Package

The communique issued after the
foreign ministers adjourned their Paris
meeting tells us that they reached COM
plete agreement on the position to be
presented at Geneva"-the meeting on
May IL when the Western ministers will
sit down with Mr.. Gromyko.
This statement in the communique
is more soothing than significant. Its
key word is presented" which means,
presumably, that the ministers have
wrapped up package which they will
lay on the table at Geneva as an open
ing gambit. 1t is not at all surprising
that they have agreed to do this. In
fact, it would have been astonishing
and diSmaying-had they been unable to
reach this preliminary agreement.
The important thing is the extent
to which they have agreed, or disagreed,
on what to do when Mr.. Gromyko says,
as he surely will, that Russia is not in
terested III the Paris package. If there
are to be any meaningful negotiations at
Geneva, this is the stage at which they
will begin.
Inside the Paris package, according
to unofficial reports, is the familiar
Western poSition-a bundling together
of proposals to resolve the West Berlin
problem, achieve eventual German uni
fication and abate tensions in Europe.
No one thinks the Russians will buy this,
and, if they do not, the real test of
Western unity will be disclosed by the
willingness of the four governments to
negotiate separately on these issues. On
this score, the foreign ministers most
aSSuredly have not reached, and prob
ably did not try to reach, complete
agreement"
When all is said and done, however,
it is Mr.. KhruShchev who holds the key
to the success or failure of the Geneva
conference and the prospective summit
meeting. The Western governments GER
tainly will not bargain away the freedom
of the West BerlinerS. Nevertheless, the
West, we believe, must be willing and
ready to make concessions in exchange
for concessions. Neither we nor the Rus
slams can be expected merely to cling to
old positions, unless the meetings are to
be turned into empty propaganda exer-
ciSeS.
While the Western governments
evidently do not see eye-to-eye at this
stage on concessions which can be made,
it ought to be possible for them to get
together on this if and when serious
bargaining stage is reached. Too much
stress cannot be put on the point, how
ever, that it will all come to nothing I'M
less Mr. KhruShchev also is concession
minded

Democracy in Homes

A new wind is blowing
across this land of ours,
gathering strength and signi-
ficance as it goes. 1t is the
wind of "neighborhood de-
mocracy." In the local area,
Neighbors, Inc. and the Ma
tional Capital Clearing House
for Neighborhood Democracy
are prototypical of this
arising spirit.
The thesis of this democ-
racy is that newcomers to a
community will be normally
integrated into its pattern
without regard to race, creed
or color. Furthermore, nous
ing opportunities will be open
to all persons and in all
places, without any restric-
tons based on the REC fac
tors.
The implications of this
belief and practice are, first,
that flight precipitated by
panic and sales profits (ac-
cruing largely from the scare
tactics of real estate agents.
will no longer be considered
the proper solution. Secondly,
newcomers will be welcomed
as additions to, not as evil
dence of change in, a neigh
borhood. Thirdly, commune
ties will no longer have racial
identity. Therefore, adver-
Using houses as white" or
"colored" will seem even more
absurd than at present.
The most important con-
sequence of this deepening
democracy will be the dis
appearance of the granite
foundation of much of our
non-legal segregation - the
ghetto. Until the actuality of
residential segregation is
ended, indignation in school
and church, and elsewhere,
will be severely limited, per-
haps merely token.
Neighborhood democracy,
while in itself not the only
important element, is truly
the sine qua non of a genuine.
living democracy, for democ
racy, like charity, begins in
homeS-and in hearts.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

all, are the best lawn medi-
cineS.
Not that hosts of sellers of
fertilizers and poisons will
tell you that you don't need
their products.
They would not be human
if they did, and no doubt
they are right. They have
forgotten just one thing, the
mind of the user.
Perhaps the human mind
needs fertilizer of a sort, but
one of its dire crops is worry,
and if a lawn and the need
for keeping it green worries
you, the point is that no lawn
is worth it, exactly.
x X X X
Just do the best you can
for your lawn, and if you
are only halfway fortunate,
you will have done the best
for your own mind.
The human mind needs
care, and one way to do it is
to place activities into two
ca tegories, those worth
worrying over, and those not
worth much worry.
EpictetuS, the famous phil
oSophical slave, did a very
good job of it some 1000
years ago, but his lists seem
a bit old fashioned now.
What we need is a mod
ern Epictetus, with the same
honest facing of life'S ordi-
nary problems.
There can be no doubt of
it, the Washington lawn is
a problem for thousands who
live here. 1t will only be a
worry if you let it! That is
the secret, if not of a good
lawn. then of a good mind.
There are enough problems
nowadays, we do not need
money to build one up
right in front of a house, or
at the sides of a house, or
at the back of a house.
Come to think of it, few
persons worry now over the
size pieces. These bits of
lawn are almost worthless,
anyway, except to plant a
few flowers that nobody sees
except the folks next door,
and who cares about them?
The modern lawn has ten
times as many inspect pests,
and a hundred times as many
agricultural invaders. If the
owner Of a modern lawn tries
to beat them all back, as
everybody except us advises,
he is IN for expense, trouble
work and failure in the end,
SO why worry in the first
place? This is one place wherF
let nature do it" is good adj
vice.

Nehru's Opening Eyes

AS indicated by his latest remarks
TO the Parliament in New Delhi, Prime
Minister Nehrus disenchantment with
Red China seems TO be proceeding at an
-quickening pace. At any rate, in
words much blunter than he usually
employs, he has left little room for doubt
that he is fed up with Peiping's colossal
lies regarding the Dalai Lama, the
Tibetan revolt and midas role in the
situation.
Mr.. Nehru has summed up his feel
ings in these words: "A tragedy has
been and is being enacted in Tibet.
Passions have been let loose, charges
made and language used which cannot
but worsen the situation and our rela-
tons with our northern neighbor. &.
All can say is that have been greatly
distressed at the tone of the comments
and charges made against India by re-
sponsible people in China. They have
used the language of the cold war re-
CARELESS of truth and propriety."
BY way of illustration, as far as
truth is concerned, Mr.. Nehru has in
effect branded as utterly mendaciouS
the Chinese Communist contention that
the Dalai Lama is the victim of kid
naperS who have carried him to neu-
traliSt India under dureSS." Actually,
of course, as the Prime Minister has
sharply emphasized, the young Tibetan
cooking has fled there for safety, and
he and "Some thousands" of his fol-
lowerS-all of them in flight from Red
terrorism in their native land-have
asked for and received asylum from the
New Delhi government.
Furthermore, Mr.. Nehru has COM
mented contemptuously on Peiping'S
fantastic" allegation that Indian ex-
panSioniStS" have played the role of
"imperialiSt" plotterS in the Tibetan
= uprising. AS for Red China's effort to
blame the trouble primarily on Tibet'S
"upper-Strata reactionarieS," he has dis
missed it as an altogether untruthful
and extraordinary Simplif1cation," and
he has gone on to add: Even according
to Chinese sources, the revolt in Tibet
was of considerable magnitude and the
basis of it must have been a strong feel
ing OF nationaliSm which affects not
only upper-clasS people but others also"
In saying these things, Mr.. Nehru
seems to have spoken as much in anger
as in sorrow, as if his eyes were at last
open to an evil not clear to him hereto
fore. AT the same time, however, in de-
ploring Peiping'S conduct, he has prom
lsed to keep on trying to be cordial to
the Chinese Communists, and he has
voiced the hope that they will respond
IN kind lest mounting hostility endanger
"the friendly relations of two countries
which are so important from the wider
point of view of the peace of Asia and
the world"
Needless to say, Mr.. Nehrx would
not have expressed himself in such
Somber terms unless he were profoundly
disturbed by the implications of Red
China'S brutal Tibetan action and the
harsh new anti-Indian line of Peiping's
propagandiStS. AS he sees it at least,
the situation is delicate one-"a mat
ter OF world Importance" - and if it
continues to deteriorate, the repercus-
SionS are likely to be far-reaching in
the extreme.
