Greetings From Moscow

Nothing In the versions Of Andrei
Gromyko's speech which have been
published in this country encourages
hope that the international climate
will be more congenial in 1851 than In
the troubled year now drawing to a close.
To be sure, the Soviet Foreign Min
lister spoke in general terms Of desire
to improve relations between his coun.
try and ours. "The Soviet government"
he said, expresses its hope that the
present unfavorable atmosphere will be
cleared" To the incoming Kennedy
administration, this has the superficial
appearance Of an overture which should
be and undoubtedly will be explored.
But there is nothing in the words
that Is really new. Mr.. KhruShchev said
much the same thing in his post-elec-
ton message Of congratulations to Sen
ator Kennedy. And even on earlier
occasions, when not brandishing his
missiles, he has given voice to essen
TALLY the same professed hope.
The diflculty is that tensions,
fears and suspicious will not yield to
fine words. Mr.. Gromyko's speech,
standing alone, means precisely moth
ing. II words are to be productive Of
a better atmosphere, they must be ac-
companied by modification Of old po-
sitions which have been responsible for
the deterioration in Soviet-American
relations. Mr.. Gromyko did not even
hint at any such modification, and, Of
course, he would have no authority to
do So This would have to come from
Mr.. Khrushchev, who has not been
notably flexible in this regard. So
the prospect is that both we and
the Russians will remain frozen in
the old positions, positions from which
neither side seems to think 1t can af-
ford to withdraw. It Is this which
makes the Gromyko speech meaning
less-and which promises so little for
the coming year.

What Kind of Growth?

Federal Aviation Administrator
Quesada has issued another timely
warning that the new Dulles Inter-
national Airport at Chantilly will spawn
either good or bad satellite develop
mentS-according to what the surround
ing communities do about zoning or
other controls. He is right in stresSing
the urgency Of regulatory action now.
Proper planning now can avert mistakes
which will be costly and perhaps i'm
possible to correct in later years.
The FAA, for the protection Of the
airport and Of adjacent areas, has done
what 1t can reasonably be expected to do
toward safeguarding the big air terminal
against undesirable construction near
the airport. It has bought thousands Of
acres Of land for so-called buffer zones
around the landing and takeoff strips.
In fact, there is more acreage In these
buffer zones than in the airport itself.
Beyond the Federal land, however,
are wide areas which General Quesada
fears might become filled with "honky-
tonk" types Of business unless steps are
taken to insure better kinds of develop
ment. He has seen the consequences
elsewhere Of failure to take prompt and
adequate measures to control CONNER
cial construction in the vicinity of new
airports. Nearby Virginia authorities
have no time to lose in considering this
important problem, for the airport Is
scheduled to open sometime next year.

100 Million Lives

A perceptive study of the
strategy Of nuclear war is
offered in the series by Rich
ard Fryklund. Senator Sy-
mington and Pentagon Off
cialS might we'll consider the
theoretical alternative to q
tactical or strategic nuclear
strike force. Perhaps we might
devote billions to building
bigger and better machines to
serve our war deterrent needs.
A United States victory could
consistently be prognosticated
II our military minds are Sc
lective in the data they use
to feed the machine. No doubt
the Russians will soon retail
late with a machine Of their
own predicting a Communist
victory by virtue of Soviet
statistics.
This game could go on like
an indeterminate number Of
chess moves. But in the long
run 1t should prove less costly
to life and material prosper
ity as we'll as focusing our
best minds on q real nuclear
deterrent strategy.

BeIqium's Time of Trial

Belgum's troubles today are rela-
lively simple to understand and dis
treSsing to contemplate.
A small country, only slightly larger
In area than our neighboring State of
Maryland, its industrious people have
lived primarily by foreign trade based
in large part upon manufactures and
the processing of the great natural re-
sources Of the Belgian Congo. Today the
Congo is Belgian no longer, and the loss
OF properties, return on investment and
availability Of raw materials has been
critically damaging to the entire econ
on1y Of the little European country. And
II the CongoleSe have been unable to
adjust to an independence for which
they were inadequately prepared, so
have the Belgians to a great degree been
unable, in the short space of time thus
far given, to accommodate themselves
to new economic order.
Recognition and understanding Of
this cause-and-effect sequence prevail,
OF course, within the Belgian govern
ment and prompted the drafting Of an
"austerity program"-including tax in
creases and curtailment of certain gov
eminent services-by which it is hoped
to improve the fiscal situation by ap-
proximately $12O million yearly. Against
this background, the leftist leadership
Of the Socialist General Federation of
Labor has called for general strike in
protest and has succeeded during the
past week in crippling the nations
transport, public utilities and much Of
its industry. In this test between a
government determined to do what
seems essential and an alliance of po-
litical opposition and q politically
managed labor movement there Is the
potential Of economic disaster. Premier
CASTOR Eyskens, appealing for nation
wide understanding and support, was
not exaggerating in saying that the very
existence Of Belgian institutions and its
form Of government are jeopardized by
the destructive irreSponsibility Of the
strike action and those who are in
citing it.
It is impossible at the moment to
foresee the outcome, but 1t Is easy to see
the importance Of this struggle in the
heart Of Western Europe. It would be
new tragedy to the BelgianS, and
grievous blow to the partnership Of the
free nations in Europe If the chaos in
the Congo should be translated into
politico- economic revolution in Belgium.

New Attorney General

President-elect Kennedy's
selection Of his brother-and
the young brothers ac-
ceptance-to be Attorney
General, seems to me to be
the most fragrant effrontery
perpetuated upon the public
in many a year.
It will 60 down in history
as q breaking point In our
present system.
It IL all very well to be
creative and imaginative and
to set precedents, but we, as
q people, do not like nepotism,
no matter the performance
Of the relative chosen.
Now, If it were learned that
the President-elect was plan
ming to serve as President
without pay-which is not
without precedent-and that
his brother were going to
help him in his cabinet on
the same basis, then it might
have q different tone.s
To date I have not learned
that anyone In this Govern
nent serves without pay.

Free Federal Purkinq

It is much too early to guess what
may come Of the inter-agency report
proposing that the thousands of Federal
employees who now enjoy free parking
inEWashington be charged in the future
forsthe privilege, and that the revenues
ID used to finance new Government
parking facilities. This is a subject too
l0ng neglected, however, and we hope the
points raised in the report are actively
pursued by the new administration.
-. The idea that a revolving fund be
set.up to finance Federal parking needs
out Of fees is especially intriguing.
During period Of increasing require
ments for of-Street parking by private
residents and businesses, the Govern
naent has been delinquent in meeting
It's own needs. For some years now,
the General Services Administration
has given lip service to a policy Of
providing one downtown parking space
for each 10 employees. ratio which
Congress persistently has ignored
through the reduction Of parking space
appropriations for new buildings. The
reason, perhaps, Is that there is no
rational basis for such a ratio. II 1t
Is desirable and necessary to provide
parking spaces, why provide them for
only the 10 per cent who have suficient
rank to take them over?
The basic inequity Of this system Is
one Of the major reasons cited by the
inter-agency committee for ending free
parking, and, in our judgment, rightly
o.. In addition, there is considerable
persuasivenesS to its argument that
parking fees would encourage greater
degree Of car-pooling and greater use
0f mass transit. The latest surveillance
during the peak traffic-jam periods
shows an average Of 1.S occupants per
CaE on downtown streets Certainly
any measures that would effectively
reduce the volume Of cars during rush
hours deserve earnest consideration.
- According to the Budget Bureau,
details Of the report are still under
study, and obviously a number of
problems must be worked out before
legislation can be sent to Congress.
Problems of downtown parking, for
example, are clearly different from
those at such far-hung installations as
the Atomic Energy Commission center
at Germantown, Md, and the Central
Intelligence Agency at Langley, Va.
Members of the committee feel, how
eYer, that the benefciaries Of the
liberal parking facilities at these places
should pay for their use to help finance
adequate provisions elsewhere.
The hopeful outlook Is that discus
sion and debate on all these points may
evolve for the first time Q reasonable
Ar1d practical policy on Government
