Soviet Export of Autos at Lower Price
To u. 5. Called Poor Deal for Russian

I wonder how Ivan and
Yakaterina will like it? Rob-
ert Castle of Syracuse, N. Y,
has completed a contract
with the Soviets to import
10000 Russian-made Mosk-
vich automobiles into the
United States in the next
two years. He plans a dis
tribution organization to
handle the cars and spare
parts.
The Moskvich is a four
cylinder, 35-horsepower car
which seats four passengers.
This may not please Ivan
and Yakaterina.
These cars are for sale in
Russia. Those who sign for
them have a waiting period
which not infrequently
stretches to two years and
almost always is longer than
one.
The cost in terms of the
official dollar exchange is a
bit more than $4,000. It will
sell to Americans for about
$1,000. The price, not yet
fixed. is guaranteed to be
below $4,000.
The car is essentially a
German design. taken from
those seized in East Ger
many. 1t somewhat resembles
the German-made Opel.
Now, Ivan and Yakaterina
will learn that 10000 of the
cars for which they have
been saving, and waiting,
with their names on the
lists. will be sent to the
americans. They also will
learn about the price.
Human nature being what
1t is, the Russians will think
about this deal. Whatever
their final conclusion, they
will entertain strong emo
tions of dissent.
They will not like the fact
they must wait longer. But
also, it will give them an
idea about their currency
and the prices of commodi-
ties in their own country,
1t is not possible to COM
pare currency values on the
exchange basis. The Soviets
have some socialist benefits
which do not require a man
to spend from his take-home
pay which, compared with

that he wasn't going to lose.
The whole Kennedy policy
for months has built up Wis
consin as an arena Of decision
and crisis. 1t has been a
policy Of deliberate drama
tization, of squeezing out the
last possible drop Of suspense.
1t has been good theater.
First, and for a long span,
the Kennedy people encour-
aged feverish speculation
about the Senator's intentions
as to Wisconsin. Would he
go in? Wouldn't he 20 in?
The candidates brother,
Robert, contributed his lines
to the play by publicly sug-
gesting it would be too risky
for Jack to "go into Senator
Humphreys back yard"
Then, at last, it was made
known that Jack would take
the great plunge. Like an
aerialist on a righ wire he
stood poised, the daring young
man on the flying trapeze.
Daring, indeed, has been
the word for the whole Ken
nedy operation. He began
running for President at
least two years ago, thus
breaking one of the Oldest
and most respected rules of
the game. The theory has
always been that any open
and early candidacy was
perilous in the extreme, for
once a man got his head up
too high it would be too easy
to hit by all of his rivals.
Senator Kennedy, how
ever, knew from the start
that for him - considering
his youth (42) and the ira
ditiOn against a Catholic
President-it had to be all
or nothing. He figured he
had nothing to lose and
everything to gain by reach
ing out frankly for the
nomination. Coolly and from

On Its Own
The truth is, of course,
that:
/. The restoration move

developers and builders as

elicits no unusual encour-
agement generally from
either the real estate in
dustry or the mortgage
banking industry; and, in
fact, has established its
notable momentum and de-
sirable quality in the face
of colossal disinterest on
the part Of both the Gov
eminent and private lend
ing institutions.
2. Pioneering restoration
activity is almost always
carried forward by private
families Of average means
who are driven by an idea
compounded, generally, of a
conviction that intown res
idential neighborhoodS are
logical and of a belief that
to be possible and desirable
they must be attractive.
'Rehob' Not Enough
This idea suggests that
rehabilitation" is not
enough; that "remodeling"
is only a generic term for
the physical work that is
done; that restoration" Of
a house or neighborhood
means what Webster's die
tionary says it means: Put.
ting q house or neighbor-
hood back into ian unim-
paired, or much improved

condition" and that a part
of the goal must be- an
effort to beautify and thus
to help achieve an accept
able new tradition Of urban
style.
In the development Of
the restoration idea. Capitol
Hill constitutes a mile
stone.
Twenty-Five years ago,
the concept of restoration
was still anchored in its
earliest stage, when few
people had the faintest
glimmer Of the broad pos
sibilities Of this movement.
Restoration was q term
thought Of in connection
with particular houses, not
Of neighborhoods. You could
restore q house, certainly.
But no one had proved you
could restore an entire
neighborhood.
Yet even before the out
break Of World War II, res
toration experience ha d
gone far beyond the stage
Of individual-house restora-
ton. Georgetown, for ex-
ample, showed that change
could be achieved on a
neighborhood basis. Few
persons even thought Of
this possibility, confusing,
instead, the character Of
Georgetown with the char
acter Of work that went on
there.
So the restoration idea
except as 1t applied in spe-
cialized areas-remained in
