SNEAKY ELEPHANT, THAT NORMA
City Books Plan
To Hire Privote
Tow Trucks

The District Commissioners
have Endorsed a plan to give
police a stronger hand in clear
ing the streets of illegally
parked cars.
The proposal, suggested by
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Charles MacVeigh, is to
hire private tow trucks.
Col. Macveigh explained that
the plan is aimed at danger
ously parked cars" such as
those that are too close to fire
hydrantS or too far from cdrbS.
The Police Department has
six tow trucks but officials have
said that more are needed.
Under the proposal, Con-
gresS will be asked to approve
the spending of funds to pay
the private tow truck operators
and to pay for storage on pri-
vate lots.
In addition, Congress will be
asked for authority to levy fees
on the owners of the cars.

WOMAN AVIATOR
PARKS HER PLANE
IN STORE LOT

A College Park MD
woman caused quite a fuss
in Charles County last
night, and all she did was
drive into a candy store
parking lot and park
a single-engine airplane.
Charles County sheriff's
deputies said the woman,
Lena B. Saden of 1903
Princeton avenue, College
Park, became lost during
a night training flight, she
was forced to land on U. S.
Route 301 near Faulkner
when her plane began to
run out of gas. She TAXED
into the parking lot.
She told the deputies
she started her solo flight
from Suburban Airport,
Laurel, Md, and mistook
neon signs at Waldorf in
Charles County for some
near Waterloo in Howard
County. The owner of the
plane, Morgan Stern, man.
ager of the Laurel airport,
was expected to pay a visit
to the candy store today,
and pick up his plane.

If, however, the Soviet bloc

particularly those affecting

Russia refuses to discuss any,

Rusk was determined not to

from l pm. to 2::3O pm. Sue

The rest of the session, from

half the time was consumed

as "inconclusive" but normal
in cautious, preparatory nego-
tiations.
The agreement to hold a Sec
ond session the middle of next
week, presumably with Mr..
Gromyko as host this time, was
taken as a mildly hopeful sign.
Both sides stated privately
and in detail the same positions
they have been taking publicly
when they met for four and one
half hours in the Waldorf Tow
ers' Windsor Suite.
Adamant on Treaty
Mr.. Gromyko was reported
to be still insisting, however,
that Russia would sign a sep
arate peace treaty with East
Germany If the West did not
join in signing two peace
treaties with East and West
Germany. Once East Germany
had signed its treaty with the
Soviet bloc, Mr.. Gromyko re-
portedly repeated, the West
would have to deal with Com
munist East Germany if it
wanted continued access to
isolated West Berlin. a
Mr.. Gromyko also indicated
Russia would press hard for
its plan to replace the late
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold with a three-man
executive, or troika, giving the
Soviet, Western and uncom-
mitted powers a veto on all
U. N. operations.
No New Proposals
Neither side presented any
new proposals. This came as
no surprise to Secretary Rusk,
who is reported prepared for
as many as seven or eight
meetings with Mr.. Gromyko
before he could make any as
sessment of the possibilities
for East-West negotiations on
Berlin. If the outlook is favor

Toy Maker for Boys

In the strictly business world, Alfred
Carlton Gilbert long ago earned recogni-
ton as being self-made and highly
successful in the popular American
tradition. But there was about Mr.
Gilbert, who died the other day in New
Haven, something little different from
the conventional image Of an industrial
magnate.
For Mr.. Gilbert built his success
upon a particular sensitivity to the
interests, the curiosity, and the urge to
build make-believe world which are
characteristic Of normal small boys. To
meet these, and probably because he
always remained Ito use his own words)
"a boy at heart" Mr.. Gilbert devised the
Erector building sets which have
charmed young male Americans for
nearly half-century. Chemistry, miner
alogy, miniature electric railroading
and even package-size atomic energy
laboratories were later products Of Mr..
Gilbert's unusual genius. 1t is reasonable,
perhaps, to describe him as toy manu-
facturer. But 1t Is reasonable, too, to de-
scribe him as an educator who has
made fine contribution to his time.

Civic Enterprise

Nothing in recent years has elevated
the level of cultural life in Washington
more effectively than has the Arena
Stage, and it should be matter Of par
ticular civic pride that this nom profit,
entirely homegrown enterprise Is being
increasingly acclaimed in superlatives
throughout the country. This is the
kind Of theater, however, which is not
able to flourish on artistic prestige
alone. Its so per cent increase in season
subscriptions this year is high tribute
to the manner in which it has made
"art" a truly satisfying experience for
thousands Of Washingtonians
Now Arena has begun the inal
phase Of its fund drive to complete
and equip the fine new theater taking
form on the Southwest waterfront-the
flrst really adequate home Arena will
ever have had. About one third of the
$750,000 cost has been provided by
foundations, and local patrons have
furnished another third through long

One Last Great Effort

President Kennedy Is on record as
being in favor Of zone last great effort"
to bring about 2 system of disarmament
or arms control in which everybody, on
both sides Of the Iron Curtain, could
repose genuine trust and confidence.
To that end, as he re-emphasized with
special eioquence' in his inaugural
address, he has affirmed the readiness
Of the United States to begin anew
the quest for peace" and he has called
upon the Soviet Union to Cooperate
accordingly.
AS first step, Mr.. Kennedy has
decided to postpone for q few weeks
with the assent Of Britain and the USSR,
the two other participants-the re-
sumption Of the three-power Geneva
talks on a nuclear test ban. These talks,
which have been going on for more than
two years past in discouraging atmos-
phere Of deadlock and periodic recess,
have been scheduled to begin again on
February z. But now they will be put on,
as the President revealed In his pre-
cedent-setting TV news conference,
until late Marcia decision well
designed to give the new administration
enough time to catch its breath and
formulate. If possible, fresh proposals
calculated to promote break-through
to agreement.
In all candor, of course, 1t must be
said that the outlook for such q break
through seems highly unpromising.
This explains why Thomas e. Murray
and other distinguished experts warn
that our country-unleSS 1t can get
adequate guarantees against the danger
OF Soviet cheating in the form Of
undesirable clandestine underground or
outer-space nuclear shots - may well
suffer catastrophe In terms Of being
decisively outclassed by the USSR in the
development Of revolutionary atomic
hydrogen weapons. Certainly the posSi-
bility involved here is very real, and the
simple, extremely disturbing truth Is
that we have no way at present of
guarding against 1t. This Is so because
the testing ban continues to be COM
pletely unpoliced.
To put 1t mildly, our country cannot
safely accept such a position much
longer. Presumably, when the test-ban
talks resume in March, our representa-
tives will have instructions from the
President to insist upon adequate
safeguards Presumably, too, our dele
gates to the separate negotiations on
general disarmament will be guided by
a similar directive. Mr.. Kennedy, in
any case, has left little room for doubt
that the United States Is determined to
remain fOrmidablv armed aS lonH aS the
Kremlin keeps on following q line too
threatful, and too immune to policing,
to be trusted.

bill is approved or not, the idea Of
leaving the huge Inauguration stand in
front OF the Capitol intact for this
purpose does not appeal to us.
For one thing, the elaborate 1861
stand does not bear the slightest re-
semblance to the smaller bare-wood
platform on which Mr.. Lincoln accepted
the Presidency. The attendance at such
a'eeremony probably would be embar-
rassingly small. And the anniversary
could be more fittingly marked by
simple ceremony on the East front steps.
Is Once the stand Is torn down,
furthermore, we think 1t would be a
good idea not to re-erect it for future
inaugurations. In our opinion, the 1900
people who for no reason at all were
jammed on the same stand with the
Kennedy party detracted from both the
dignity and the orderliness Of the cere-
mony. Certainly this contributed to the
delay and confusion.
While we hope the tradition Of
inaugurating Presidents at the Capitol's
East front is never abandoned, why not
have the ceremony take place on
simple platform, extended from the
portico and large enough to hold only
the participants? The dignity and
beauty Of the site would be immeasur-
ably enhanced, and the distinguished
guests In attendance could be seated
in separate stands at priority locations
