Just when Vice President Nixon
arrived in Moscow. The reason,
some officials believe, might
we'll be that the Kremlin aims
at counterbalancing the effects
of Mr.. Nixon's visit and the
opening of the United States
exhibition in a Moscow park.
Finally they are amused be-
cause the Kremlin's unusual
sensitivity is indirect evidence
that the designation given to
this week touches on the soreSt
point of the Soviet orbit.
Congress Prompted Action
Although it is the first time
Mr.. Eisenhower has dedicated
a week to the nations deprived
of their independence, the fact
that the United States has
never recognized the Kremlin's
right to subjugate them is by
no means new.
The proclamation, issued by
Mr.. isenhower July IT,
stemmed from a resolution
passed by Congress.
That measure requested the
President to designate the third
week in July as Captive Ma
lions Week" each year until
such time as freedom and in
dependence shall have been
achieved for all the captive
nations of the world"
1t was designed to strengthen
the hand of Secretary of State
Herter in his negotiations at
Geneva for a Berlin settle
ment.
Originated With Douglas
The resolution originated
with Senator Douglas, Demo-
crat of Illinois. The Senate
passed it July 6. Senator Doug

las said then it would serve
notice that the tactics by which
other weaker nations have
been taken over shall not pre-
vail in the Geneva talks on
West Germany"
The resolution, in which
Senator Javits, Republican of
New York, joined Senator
Douglas, passed the Senate by
voice vote and with little de-
bate. Bipartisan co-sponsor-
ship was provided by II more
Senators.
In a statement in the Con-
gressional Record in connection
with its passage, Senator Doug
las added:
1T will also help to assure
our friends behind the Iron
Curtain that the free world is
ever mlndful OF their plight. ;.
The proclamation said many
nations have been made cap
tive by the imperialistic and
aggressive policies of Soviet
communism"
Proper, President Says
Mr.. Eisenhower asked Ameri-
cans to observe the week with
appropriate ceremonies and &C
Invites, and said:
1T is appropriate and proper
to manifest to the people of
the captive nations the support
of the Government and the
people of the United States for
their just aspirations for free
dom and national independ-
ence."
At his news conference yes

asked if he considers the Soviet

GENEVA, July GA new
threat from Nikita Khru-
shchev of Communist action
against West Berlin today
put pressure on the Western
foreign ministers at the Bis
Four conference.
The Soviet Premier said in 8
joint Soviet-Polish commune
que at Warsaw that the West
tern stand at Geneva may lead
to aggravation of a situation
pregnant with danger to the
cause of peace in Europe"
The communique warned
that if what it called the "ab-
normal situation" in Berlin
the Western occupation-iS not
liquidated, Russia and Poland
will support East Germany in
measures which she may recog-
nize as appropriate"
Mr.. Khrushchev and the Poles
repeated RuSsia'S original de-
mands for peace treaties with
the two Germanys and the
Transformation of West Berlin
into a demilitarized free city
And they repeated Mr.. Khru-
Shchev's threat to sign a peace
treaty with East Germany if
the allies do not meet the
Communist demands.
Blockade Threat Again
This would give the East
Germans control of supplies to
the allied garriSons in West
Berlin, raising the threat of a
new Berlin blockade.
The new threat to use Soviet
power against Berlin brought
some renewal of the tension
which had subsidized somewhat
as the Geneva negotiations
dragged on. But Mr.. Khru-
Shchev and the Poles perhaps
significantly set no time limit
for achievement of their de-
mandS. And the communique
indicated an agreement could
wait for a summit conference.
The Western foreign minis
tiers and Soviet Foreign Minis
ter Andrei A. Gromyko mean
while were deadlocked in nego-
tiations to find a way out of
the Berlin crisis. Both sides
declared yesterday they had no
intention of backing down on
key issues involving their basic
and completely contradictory
aims in Germany.
Secretary of State Herter &C
cuSed the Soviet Union of try
ing to hold West Berlin's 2.5
million inhabitants as ran
SON. for an ultimate Commu-
mist takeover of all Germany
The West, Mr.. Herter said, will
never be tricked into becoming
IAN inviting accomplice." He
again rejected Mr.. Gromyko's
proposal that the German re-
uniflcation question be handed
over to an East-West German
committee with an 18-month
time limit to get results.

was getting an official welcome
at the airport Mr.. Khrushchev
was talking to a Sports Palace
crowd welcoming him home
from a nine-day trip to Poland.
He again took the United
States to task for proclaiming
this week as Captive Nations
Week, and said:
They send their Governors

visit of nine United States
Governors). They send their

Speech Calculated
Mr.. Khrushchev'S remarks
seemed calculated to steal from
Mr.. Nixon the drama of the
arrival of the highest United
States official to visit the So
Wet Union since Franklin D.
Roosevelt came to Yalta.

by Frol R. Kozlov, First Dep
uty Premier, who recently
toured the United States. The
Nixon trip is in effect an ex-
change visit. The Vice Presi-
dents official purpose is to
open the United States exhibit

In his brief airport remarks
Mr.. Nixon warned that in an

MiddIe-Road
Labor Reform
Bill Backed
House Unit Votes
Is to IA; Major
Amendments Due
BY LEE M. COIN
Star stan Writer

The House Labor Committee
today approved middle-of-the
road union reform bill, l6 to Ia,
after rejecting tougher and
milder alternative proposals.
The bill was pushed through
by a reluctant coalition of con-
servatives and moderates. Sew
eral of the members who voted
for it said they would fight for
major amendments when the
bill reaches the House floor in
two or three weeks.
Ten Democrats and six Re-
publicans voted for the COM
mittee bill. Against were 10
Democrats and four Republic
cans. The opponents included
both advocates of tighter curbS
on unions and supporters Of an
AFL-CIO demand for less re-
Strictive legislation.
Sponsor Selected
Committee Chairman Barden,
Democrat of North Carolina,
voted with the majority but
refused to sponsor the bill be-
cause he considers it too weak.
The committee agreed to have
Representative Elliott, Demo-
crat of Alabama, sponsor the
measure.
The committees bill aims to
curb corruption by safeguard
ling the democratic right OF
union members, requiring un-
ions and some employers to file
financial reports and otherwise
regulating ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
relations. The Senate passed
a somewhat tighter bill in the
same areas last April.
Among the substitute meas
ures rejected by the committee
this morning was the Eisen-
hover administrations bill,
which lost by a vote of 81 to 9
and a bill incorporating sew
eral suggestions by the ALL
ICIO, defeated 19 to IL.
6 Vote Reluctantly
Representative Ayres, Repub-
lican of Ohio, told reporters
that the six Republicans who
voted for the committee bill
did not really like it. He said
the Democrats hoped the Re-
publicanS would vote against
the measure and thus make
labor legislation "a dead duck"
for this year. The Republicans,
Mr.. Ayres said, voted to clear
the bill only to give the full
House a chance to act on
strengthening amendments.
Other Republicans corrobo-
rated Mr.. AyreS' analysis.
Representatives Ian drum
Democrat of Georgia, and Grit
fin, Republican of Michigan,
announced they will co-sponsor
a bipartisan substitute bill dur
ing floor debate. 1t is expected
they will propose tighter re-
strictions against secondary
boycotts and oganizational pic
keting.
Democrats Praise Bill
Five Democrats in the COM
Imittee'S so = called middle
group" praised the bill as "a
path of reasonable compro-
mise for reasonable men,
They said it steers a sound
course in correcting abuses and
guaranteeing new rights to in
dividual union members on the
one hand, while protecting the
legitimate operations of labor
unions on the other"
Chairman Barden said the
committee may file its report
next Wednesday or Thursday
The House Rules Committee
may give the bill final clear
ance next week.
Key Provisions
Major provisions of the COM
mittee bill, drafted in a month
of closed meetings, are de-
Isigned to:
Protect the basic rights-in-
cluding free speech-of union
members against abuse by die
tatorial leaders. An aggrieved
member could sue for an in
junction after failing for six

venile Court was made as a
House District subcommittee
opened hearings on Senate
passed legislation to add two
more judges to the one-judge
Juvenile Court.
Three judges and two District
Commissioners testified on the
critical need for more Juvenile
Court judges to cope with the
Spiralling case load.
The subcommittee interest
in the problem was indicated
by the presence of six subcom-
mittee members in addition to
Chairman Davis, Democrat Of
Georgia.
Crime Figures Cited
Juvenile Court Judge Orm
W. Ketcham cited figures dis
closed in The Star yesterday
that serious crime charged to
boys has increased by more
than Is per cent in the past
IL months. He declared:
1.-THE increase in delinquency
is directly attributable to the
fact that Juvenile Court today
does not and cannot carry out
its functions to law enforce
ment in the District of Column
bia."
He said, in answer to ques-
tions, that with the overloaded
court, there have been many
occasions in the past where
police have released minor Of
tenders rather than clog the
court calendar further. Some
of these offenders, he said,
have gone on to commit major
crimes and I'VE are now reap
ing the harvest"
Courts Work Reviewed
He told the subcommittee
that a detailed study of the
courts work in the past six
months showed that during
that time he had conducted Is
jury trials, 88 contested nom
jury trials, had removed 528
children from their homes,
waived jurisdiction to adult
court in the cases of So juve-
niles charged with 1865 felonies
and sentenced 95 men to serve
varying terms in prison.
Judge Ketcham reported
that, as of June 80, he had
waived 103 cases involving 308
felonies to District Court dur
ing the past year and had a
backlog of 235 juvenile cases
and $40 adult cases awaiting
judicial hearing.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin told the subcommit-
tee there is nothing more
urgent in our legislative pro-
gram right now than to fill out
our Juvenile Court"
"As we see these cases
mounting and the court unable
to reach them for quick trial"
he said, 1--WE are probably en-
couraging and creating juvenile
delinquency at nearly the same
rate that we are doing some
thing to discourage it,"

Don't FL ht Your Lawn-Love 1t!



A green lawn can be one Of the great and
lasting pleasures Of life. Or it can be pain in
the neck 1t can enrich, physically and mentally.
Or it can cause irritation, Illustration and deep
sense Of guilt. Surprisingly, the difference does
not seem to depend on time or money or ef-
fort so much as it does on a state of mind.
A lawn is living thing and its condition is
largely dependent upon the treatment you give
it. If you love it, then you will enjoy taking
care Of it and improving it. If you consider it
as nothing but chore you are likely TO neglect
it. Then it will deteriorate and you will find
yourself fighting it.
II lawn were nothing but lifeless frame
around your home. you might as well have it
made of concrete and paint it green. But its
more than that. It's refreshment for the mind
as well as the eye. It's a refuge from the arti.
fetal. It's Natures own tranquilizer. And its
meant to be enjoyed.
If you love lawn you won't consider NOV.
ing it a nuisance. You'll enjoy the mild, health
building land simmingD exercise it provides.
You'll feed ii regularly for the same reason and
because you know that you can't continue TO
enjoy its loveliness any other way. And you
won't battle with weeds. You'll control them
with ease and complete confidence.
