IL. Education. A bill to
provide Sill billion q year for

Senate reported a program

IS. Obscene mail. The
House passed a bill that
would tighten the Post once

Americans have a far richer
diet than Russians do.
All this Is q welcome inter-
Jude for the harried escorts
Of the very large Soviet party.
They do not regard 1t as
much more than an inter-
lude.
They know that Americans
won't and can't pay the
Khrushchev price for his
good behavior. which IL alb
dication Of all their critical
faculties. Since he has shown
such great and apparently
sincere emotion over what
seems to them pinpricks,
they now fear he will inter-
pref present restraint a.
proof that he has cowed his
critics.
Evidence Of their mount
ing concern Is word that
President Eisenhower will
not depart for Russia until
Charles Chip Bohlen can
wind UP his Manila mission
and accompany him. Mr..
Bohlen, former Ambassador
to Russia and President
Roosevelt's translator at
Yalta, has been in semi
exile since die-hard Repub-
ncan Senators prevailed
upon the late John Foster
Dulles to remove him from
Moscow.
Mr.. Khrushchev has made
1t very clear these bright
fall days that he is more
than a tough customer at
the conference table and
much more than a cynical
politician. He Is complicated
and hard to read; the best
will be none too good when
1t comes to handling him in
the clinches.

DAVID LAWRENCE

As every session Of Con-
gress has ended during the
last several years, this cor
respondent has been tempt
ed to say: tits remarkable
that anything gets passed
at ALL"
There are so many cross
currents Of influence and so
many pressures, both for and
against proposed legislation.
that the net result is hard
to describe in a phrase or
two. except perhaps to say
that compromise is the es-
sence Of congressional exist
ence.
The public is told primar-
fly Of the legislation actu-
ally passed. E m phasis is
placed on major measures.
for example. such as the
labor-reform law adopted at
the last session. or the for
eign aid bin. or the bill passed
to maintain the Nations
armament and security.
But what is often lost sight
Of is that much legislation
that ought to be passed
doesn't get to first base. It's
true, Of course. that the
present Congress still has
another session next year
and that the laws which
were not enacted this time
still have q chance Of pas
sage in the session which
begins in January.
It is interesting to make a
survey Of some of the major
legislative proposals that
were put aside by the ses-
sion of the seth Congress
which ended this month.
Here Is q list Of some Of
them:
/. Interest rates. The ad-
ministration wanted to have
the ceiling on the interest
rates on long-term securi-
ties removed. The Congress
refused to do this. The Presi-
dent has said this Is one Of
the most serious situations
that has confronted the Gov
eminent In many years.
Whenever the Congress fails
to do what ought to be done
to enable the Executive
branch Of the Government
to operate effectively, 1t Is a
cause for concern.
2. Postage-rate increases.
The administration wanted
to advance the rate from

A police bomb squad quickly
showed up. doused the satchel
In water, then gingerly
opened 1t.
Inside they found a home
made pipe bomb. filled with
gunpowder and with a battery
powered triggering device.
The batteries were not con-
nected, but police said the bomb
was capable Of doing extensive
damage.
The patient, George Cotunac-
clio. "a. an unemployed car
penter. was charged with pos
sessing a bomb and was put In
the psychiatric division Of the
hospital.

! yield to no man in my
fondness for Russian borsch.
It is a noble dish and one Of
the great soups. 1t is not to be
confused with the bottled
stun one buys In the delica-
lessen. or the usual United
States limitations. Nor is 1t
merely a lot Of beet Juice and
meat stock with q daub Of
sour cream flowing on 1t like
some ethereal island. Rus
sian borsch is a good, vigor-
Gus soup. 1t not only has beef
stock In It; 1t includes a gen.
erous slice, or chunk, of boiled
beef. It also has vegetables
and, OF course. beet Juice. The
true borsch includes also q
couple Of small sausages.
This was included on the
dinner and I trust Mr.. Eisen-
hover ordered 1t because the
alternate choice was perch
soup and this is an abomina-
ton. ! think it must have been
invented by Ivan the Terrible.
or perhaps it is something
concocted to feed to prisoners
serving life sentences. OBJ
viously, Mr.. Eisenhower
chose borsch as he did not
come down with some ma
laise. as he almost surely
would had he selected perch
soup.
The next course at host
Khrushchev's dinner was
caviar. There seems to be no
argument that the Rus
sian sturgeon is the white
leghorn of the fish world in
that it is the best with eggs.
The Soviet caviar has flavor
and texture without peer.
Crabmeat, flown in from the
Caspian Sea, was yet another
excellent dish. The fish course
was fillet Of founder and
there was beef with Russian
sauce. There were also choices
Of smoked and sailed fish and
smoked partridge.
There was asparagus, which
is a common Russian vege-
table.

Thirteen Major Legislative Proposals
Were Put Aside at Last Session

four to five cents on first
class mail and from seven to
eight cents on airmail. This
would have reduced the cur
rent annual postal deficit by
about $3.50 million. Congress
virtually ignored the re-
quest.
3. The item-veto power.
This is one Of the most i'm
portant reforms that has
ever been suggested to make
the American system Of gov
eminent more efficient. The
President asked q right
which many States Of the
Union grant-namely. that
the Executive may veto par
ticular items In a piece Of
legislation without neces-
sarily vetoing the rest Of the
measure. The request was
greeted by laughter. Nothing
was done about it.
4. Appropriation methods.
The President suggested that
Congress stop granting new
educational authority" so as
to end "back-door" financ-
ing. Congress refused.
5. Sedition. The House
passed a bill to provide that
State laws in a field where
Congress has already acted,
including sedition, should be
concurrently enforceable un-
less a Federal statute has
specifically taken over q
monopoly In that particular
field. The Senate took no
action.
6. Criminal trials. The
House passed q bill providing
that evidence. including con-
LESSONS, shall not be regard
ed as inadmissible in courts
Just because Of q delay in
arraigning Q criminal sus-
pect. This was intended to
Offset the so-called NAL
lory" decision. The bill got
no further than hearings in
