ROME. - More evidence
that the political conflict
between Chairman Khru-
shchev and Mao Tze-tung is
coming to an end can be
gathered from the attitudes
of the representatives OF the
Communist countries sta
toned in Rome.
Until recently the Soviet
ambassador to Italy, Seman
Kozyrev, avoided Roman
parties lest he be embar-
raised by direct questions
concerning MoScow-Peking
relations. Now the Red diplo-
mats appear in a happier
frame Of mind. They explain
that there never was an
theological conflict between
the two Communist blocs,
just a misunderstanding con-
corning political strategy.
Premier Khrushchev has
come to the conclusion in
recent weeks that the unity
OF the capitalist countries is
disintegrating more rapidly
than he had envisioned. For
awhile the Kremlin, i'm
pressed by the enormous
political-economic energy of
the capitalist world, believed
that its disintegration would
be a slow process.
The Chinese did not share
this point of view. They were
convinced that the Western
world was rotten to the
core; that its physical pros
perity was meaningless and
the jealousies and jockeying
for power would weaken it to
a point where it could be de-
stroyed without the use Of
missiles.

PLANNERS ADDRESS
Worlds Best System Set
As Goal for Area Transit

The following address on
the highDdy-trdnsit contro-
uerSy DdS made at a recent
community meeting By Rob-
ert L. Morris, senior trans
portdtion pldnner for Do,Un-
to,on Progress, the orodnisa-
ton tDhtch is Dorkino to,Dard
a rehabilitation OF Washing
tons central business and
shopping areas.
In some respects, I think
I may be one Of the few peo-
pie in the Washington area
who can look at this free
way subway battle, which
has been building up, with
relative objectivity. In the
first place, / am employed b.
Downtown Progress. And
downtown-your downtown
is the one area Of the region
that needs the best transpor-
tation possible-of all kinds
No downtown has ever had
the problem of too much
transportation-of any kind.
The second reason why I
feel I am more objective
about this problem than
many other people, is that
for part Of my work trip
from my home on the out
skirts of Baltimore every day,
l drive an automobile on a
freeway, I ride rail rapid
transit to Washington and
for the remainder of my trip
from Union Station, ! ride
a bicycle-which seems to me
about as neutral a position
as one can take.
In the hope that you will
accept my position as an un-
biased one. I should like to
discuss briefly the trans
portation requirements for
Downtown Washington. But
first, / should like to COM
ment on the Importance of
downtown to the entire
Washington region. The
downtown planning area, the
632 acres for which the
Downtown Progress Action
Plan was developed, contains
about / per cent of the Dis
trict's land, yet pays about
IL per cent of the property
taxes, and calls for relatively
little in return as far as such
community expenses as cdu-
cation, recreation and well
fare are concerned. At the
same time, downtown con-
tains a large proportion of
the Districts jobs, and serves
as an attraction to the more
than is million visitors to
the Nations Capital each
year. If we are to preserve,
and increase, these values,
We must take some giant
steps toward improving the
accessibility Of downtown.
Worlds Best Needed
To have the kind of a
downtown we all want, one
that is fitting and appropri-
ate as the heart of the Ma
TONS Capital, we will need
a comprehensive transit sys-
tenn which will provide the
highest degree Of service to
all areas, made up Of every
practical transit element,
from the minibus internal
circulation system within
downtown to the best. and
