Trudinq With Russia

Although it is expected to promote
considerable increase in exports and
imports between the two countries, the
f1ve-year trade agreement just signed by
Britain and the Soviet Union is a rela-
lively Small-Scale undertaking.
True, during the first year of the
pact'S operation, British purchases from
the USSR are supposed to expand by
about 80 per cent, and an even larger in
crease is slated for Soviet imports from
the United Kingdom. These figures, how
ever, are not really very spectacular
when measured against the fact that the
British in 1858 bought Russian goods val
ued at total of only $160 million, while
the Russians in the same period bought
British goods valued at little more than
half that sum.
Nevertheless, assuming that the
men Of the Kremlin abide by its terms,
the new agreement will make Anglo
Soviet trade substantially brisker than
it has been for years past. Although the
strategic goods still embargoed by the
West are excluded from the deal, the
Russians with the help of some British
financing will be able to buy wide va
riety Of items, including factories for the
production of chemicals, synthetics, tires
and sugar At the same, time they will
have marketing outlets in the United
Kingdom for their exports of things
like timber, grain. furs, wines, toys,
musical instruments, watches and even
automobiles.
Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan has
hailed all this as a sort Of breakthrough
toward constantly expanding EaSt-West
trade, and he has once again suggested
that there ought to be a great flow of
exports and imports between his country
and the United States. The trouble with
his thesis, however, is that there can BE
no such flow as long as the Kremlin puts
excessive emphasis on heavy industrial
production largely nonexportable) and
fails to build up light industry for large
scale consumer-goods output.
At any rate, it is difficult to see how
the Krenlin, while it adhereS to such a
policy, can produce the wherewithal-a
sufficient amount of exportable items
to finance its end of genuinely big,
expansion of promoting mutual
trade. Certainly, as matters stand,
agreements like the one with Britain
represent a mere trickle in that respect.

Tough World

It is difficult not to sympathize with
Bud Abbott, up to a point. Over the
years, together with the late Lou Cos
tello, he has brought lot of comedy
into the lives of countless Americans,
and he has made millions of dollars in
the process. But now he is broke. Why?
According to his own explanation, Uncle
Sam has hit him like a thunderbolt"
for having failed to pay certain taxes he
apparently should have paid. AS he has
put it, "It's the same situation as Joe
Louis. 1 can never get out. They've
taken everything I've got, and now
there's a for sale sign in front of the

Thanks to the Senate

After much debate and a lot OF
diversionary tactics, the Senate has APP
proved District budget that, if agreed
to by the House, will enable the District
government to meet all urgent needs
Of the community without the neces-
sity Of another tax increase. We hope
the Senate bill will be accepted by the
House conferees, in fairness to the city
as whole and to local taxpayers in
particular.
Whereas the House measure was
rugged to require raise in the District
real estate and perhaps other taxes to
Offset deliberately planned deficit the
Senate commercially refused to join in
the trickery. The Senate bill would wipe
out the tax-boost threat by providing
for Federal payment $2,133,000 above
the $25 million voted by the House.
Even this enlarged figure is short of
Congress implied promise of $32 mil
ion Federal payment-the sum which
both chambers found fair and reason
able only short while ago.
Much credit is due the few Sena-
tors who took the floor to argue per-
Suasively for just District budget.
Their efforts prevailed, despite numer-
Gus Interruptions by Senators who used
the District bill as device to put across
their ideas on several extraneous sub
!ects, including foreign aid economics
and party policy. In the end the vote
was unanimous for a $241.7 million
budget, as compared with the House
approved $2S71 million measure. While
even the Senate figure is less than Dis
trtct officials had hoped for, there is
no question about the ability of the city
to get along very well on the reduced
budget.

why weren't the Soviet mon

Hungarians, East Germans
and other refugees from Red
cruelty should testify against

bloody henchmen. Demands
for the release of captive

The old law of supply and
demand is out so far as apart
ment houses are concerned.
Since the demand has been
supplied the prices have been
raised. Does that make sense?
This writer would like to ask
a $64 question, lie. Why have
apartment house rents In
creased after the demand has
been supplied and why are
people continuing to pay such
prices? The same thing is true
of office buildings, but apart
ments are a little bit more of
a necessity than a high-priced
office nowadays. Besides, cor
porations or big businessmen
seem able and willing to pay
for such Offices.
Housing is an absolute ne
cessity and many thousands
of our people are not able to
buy homes at (also) high
prices but are asked to pay
increased rates for apart
mentS which have been in
creased after the builders in
creased the rate Of building
about two-to-one the past
year. It is true that imitation
is still performing to a great
extent but housing and feed
ing should be checked by the
Government if the people are
not going to do anything
about 1t.

Only hard-hearted churl would be
unmoved by such situation. But the
fact remains, in this world OF death and
taxes, that Bud Abbott is no different
from Joe Louis or the rest Of US: We all
are destined, or doomed, to pay q certain
amount Of our income TO finance such
things as the Strategic Air Command.
This is great nuisance, Of course, butit
is nevertheless mandatory. Accordingly,
one cannot shed too many tears for any
body-even comedian-who fnds him

things according to the rules Of the In
ternal Revenue Service. That's life, Bud

Science and the President

For the past year ana a hal1, ever
since the launching Of the Soviet Unions
first Sputnik, DR.. James r. Killian, jr.,
has played role of great Importance as
the Presidents Special Assistant for
Science and Technology. His advice has
been decisive in many developments, in
GLIDING the establishment of the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space Admins
tration. Further, perhaps more than any
other American, he has put a new and
much-needed impetus behind efforts to
improve such vital things as our coun-
try's educational system and the scope
and pace of our basic research.
So Americans in general have cause
to share Mr.. Eisenhower's Every sincere
regret" that DR.. Killian has decided that
compelling personal reasons" make it
necessary for him to resign-effect in
July-and return to the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, which he head
ed until his call to the White House in
late 1857. His counsel will be missed here,
especially by the President, who has
relied upon him, and justifiably, to steer
things in the right direction in terms of
equipping the United States to cope with
the tremendous challenge implicit in our
Supremely scientific and chronological
age. In that respect, the value of DR..
Killian'S services can hardly be exagger-
ated, even though there are those who
believe he has been too optimistic re-
garding the feasibility of ban on nu-
clear testing.
Happily, there has been no difficulty
in finding man of comparable ability
to succeed Dr. Killian He is Professor
George B. Kistiakowsky of Harvard Uni
versity. Born in Russia in 1900, he fought
against the BolSheviks in 1880, emf
grated to the United States in 1925 and
became citizen not long thereafter. AS
one of the worlds leading chemists,
specializing in explosives, she looms large
in the history of the development of nu-
clear weapons In fact, as indicated in
the famous 1946 Smyth report on the
subject, he made an exceedingly signifl-
cant and highly classified contribution
to the design and manufacture of man
kinds first atomic bomb. But his inter-
ests, like DR.. Killian's, go far beyond
mere weaponry, and that is why he is
well fitted to be the Presidents chief
scientific adviser
This post, which was established
with DR.. Killian'S appointment less than
two years ago, is potentially one Of the
most important in our Government.
Though relatively new, it embraces
field of far-ranging responsibilities in
volving military and nonmilitary matters
of the highest significance. Indeed, con-
sidering the nature of our age, it is an
Office that is likely to grow in influence,
on permanent basis, regardless of Who
ever occupies the White House in the
future. DR.. KiStiakowsky, like his dis
tinguished predecessor, will be sort of
pioneer in developing it, and we wish
him every success in doing so.

Premature Objection

AS chairman Of the House Rules
Committee, Representative Howard w.
Smith OF Virginia is in strategic posi-
ton to control legislation dealing with
preservation of Washingtons water sup
ply. 1t is highly desirable, therefore,
that there should be no miSunderstand-
ing of the purposes of the survey being
made Of the Potomac River watershed
by the Army Corps of Engineers. Unfor-
tunately, it appears from his testimony
before House Appropriations subcom-
committee that he has little under
standing of the project.
In fact, Mr.. Smith, in opposing funds
for the survey, told the subcommittee
he was mot sure just what this item
proposes item in question being a
100000 appropriation for continuing the
engineers study below HarperS Ferry
and especially in the vital stretch above
the Washington Metropolitan Area. He
then said that "if" the study proposes
anything like high power dam which
would flood large part of my district
and great part of the very fertile Shen-
andoah Valley" he and his fellow legis-
latorS from Virginia would be against it.
We are sure that many persons in and
outside of Virginia also would oppose
any such hydroelectric project
But there has been no suggestion
for such high dam for power purposes
since abandonment by the Army en-
gineerS of an ill-advised hydroelectric
power study 10 years ago. Congress has
restricted the current survey of the river
to water supply and flood control prob
lens, with power relegated to an incl
dental place in the picture. And talk
OF any dams and of their location at
this point can be only conjectural, since
the engineers can make no recommen-
dationS until the survey is completed.
Congress therefore should grant the
money needed to finish this important
study. And Congress then will be in
proper position to debate whether
any dams, high or low, are needed and
to decide whether construction funds
should be voted.
