Inat Khrushchev will appear at
the White House a much more
a.'onomous leader than ihe
President with a much greater
latitude in making proposals
concessions and conclusions than
joes the President.
If Eisenhower Is to confer with
Khrushchev on equal terms, he
must have firm agreements from
our allies on the limits they will
accept on negotiated settlements
of such problems as Berlin. Ger-
man unification, disarmament
and atomic weapons testing, to
mention only a few.

NEW SENATE OTFICE
BUILDING - As if the going
hasn't been rough enough for tno
architect of the Capitol, one of
the nations outstanding archi-
tectural - magazines has now
come out in sharp criticism of
the new 125 million Senate-Office
building
The criticism was not aimed
at such mundane things as slip-
pery floors, unworkable elevat-
es bad acoustics and eer.e
screeching* from the public ad-
dress system. It went to the
very heart of the controversy
and vehemently attacked the
-ariiiitfi'tmal form—ttsetfr-fnmr--
the materials used in construc-
tion to the design of the build-
ing with its completely false
and phony entrance.
Because of the unrelenting at-
tacks on the building another
Capitol structure the new House
Office building is proceeding
slowly. So architectural design
ha* been completed although a
■huge foundation has been, dug

that any sign—or lack of a alga
—that causes perplexity. hes-
itation of wrong decision bv a
driver Is an invitation lo Ihe
multiple ear smash lips that
are becoming common on the
busier trafflr arteries. Often
the victim i» * stranger who
does not know- his way around.
But the accidents kill people
familiar with the atreets as well
as Ihe slranger*.
In Chicago, one of .the news-
papers has been running a series
of articles pointing out contusing
traffic signs it calls "boobv traps
for drivers " It has been hearing
regularly, for example from mo-
torists who have been unable to
find their way from the nearby
Indiana Toll Road to the Illinois
Toll Road. The motorists almost
daily complain bitterly about the
inadequacy of the direction signs.
Out-of-town drivers on their
way out of New York City via
sauatfii’wsaar Did You Know?
Deegan expressway and the New
York thruway, have similar, con.
fusing problems, frequently New
York newspapers get pleading
letters from motorists who had
become lost and endangered by
inadequate signs. .
The nation's two biggest cities
me not alone in their failure to
provide traffic signs the driver
ran find and understand. From
Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, Louisville.
Atlanta Denver and a host of
other cities across the land, come
similar plaints from befuddled
drivers.

The answer to safe and ade-
quate traffic signs, according to
the experts, is adoption by all
states of tne sign standards form-
ulated by the if. S. Bureau of
Public Roads and other top au-
thorities. These are detailed in
a manual first issued more than
20 years ago and revised period-
ically since.
Yet After 20 years of cam-
paigning for better sign\ in its
latest report the National Safety
Council say* only eight states
rlaim to conform to the accepted
national standards and .variation*
are so common that ‘‘uniformity’’
is Just a myth.
If all signs, on state roads and
those under local jurisdiction,
were brought into conformity
with the national standards, the
a a / e t y authorities contend it
would save hundreds of lives and
end the confusion that now
plagues motorists. All drivers—
hometown and visitors — would
benefit by the safer and smoother
movement of traffic made possi-
ble by signs and markers that
look the same and mean the
same, wherever they are.
between crumpled steel and ripped
earth
We’ve seen the mangled bodie* of
bathes and children aiammed against
pavement, their limb* ripped asunder
in the violence created by the adulta
they trusted and loved.
We've talked to people in hospitals—
still in bed a full year after pale-faced
ambulance drivers picked them out of
automobile wreckage and raced with
iife itself toward the cold lights of the
hospital emei-gency rooms.
We’ve seen the terror and anguiah
on the faces of crash survivors when
the agonizing truth of a loved one's
death strikes home.
It's a hard way to learn the ropes
as a newspaper reporter. We've wished
something could be done, and we've
thought of running photographs of the
carnage as warnings to those still alive
and driving. The readers, we’ve been
told, have no stomach for such ‘ morbid"
lessons. They say it would not be "nice"
for the memory of the deceased.
So we write editorials. We strive to
get the idea across—even to one person.
Cars can kill you. They've killed thou-
sands of others, and you may be next.

WASHINGTON - It will he up
to historians to deride whether
the policies ol John Hosier Dul-
les now largely abandoned, were
good for his friend Right l>.
Elsenltower Diplomats, however,
cant wait for history. Neither
can Die ptxiple wlm have lo fight
wars or enjoy the Iruits of peace.
And the (act that Pre|ulent
Eisenhower has reversed most of
Dulles' policies only two month*
after he was lowered into the
grave is a matter tor important
and immediate consideration.
Dulles was a man wist preach-
ed massive retaliation but prac-
ticed massive determination lie
preadied going up to the brink
of win fm the nation but went
lip to Hie brink of death for him-
self He was sn persuasive he
had learned such legalistic logic
in tlie practice of law that he
carried the President with him on
every policy. Mr Eisenhower,
Instead of hemg his own Score-
tarv of Slate was the Presiden-
tial rubber stamp on Dulles' pol-
icies
Every President ha* a right lo
he his own Secretary of State,
and two notable Presidents tn re-
vent vears. Woodrow Wilvm and
Franklin D. Roo«evelt. exercised
that right They took the tri|«x
abroad. They sat down opposite
•tie head* of slate tn negotiate.
Both mid UK penalty ».'h 'heir
health or their live* but ttiev,
and they atone, ran the foreign
pin-vl of the United States
John Foster Dulles believed
that everything connected with
communism was sinful and that
D: R. Etsrrihrrwer was too good
a person to negotiate with sin-
ners. He also feared that t h *
President might lie carried away
by face lo tai i negotiators; there-
fore, hr, Duties, a* Secretary of
State, should do the negotiating.
If he got rarried away, then, ht
argued tie eoulii lie overruled by
the President,
However he was never over-
ruled Tlie awesome atmosphere

by die President—until after hi*
death Now Ihe President has
overruled almost every policy

----COPENHAGEN ‘Sp1—In a very -
slvn time I have pinned down
the fact, that tlie W est Europeans
have hern wilfully misinformed
about the Supreme Court's at-
tempt to ;mpos, compulsory a*,
social ion on Americans .who re-
fuse to associate with certain
others and a tout American
"culture Press associations
and staff correspondents of Eu-
ropean papers .stationed in tlie
States tiave adopted tlie Com-
munist term 'integration ' wjiich
most of ihe American press fell
for early in the trouble. These
“agencies", as they are called
have drenched Europe with a
stupefying fraud which has done
the reputation of the Umtpd StalPi
some harm.
These peoples now think the is-
sue which is capsuled a* “Little
Hoi k" is simply a vicious hatred
of Negroes in the mean, black
hearts of a tiny minority.....of il-
literate Southern ‘‘crackers." Our
"culture is a monopoly ol a few
authors of dirty books and plays.
"Tobacco Road" is the prime ex-
ample of the morals of the
American peoplp and our musical
taste consists of a pessimistic,
unmelodious air with a doggerel
lyric, entitled "It Ain t Necessar-
ily- So.'
The beautiful Mk songs of
Stephen Foster, the enchanting
sweetness of 'Silver Lining." the
fine, folkixh fiction which Damon
RunyonWrote about are unknown
to the shallow boozing gossip*.
Not many of this element have
studied or even read the Consti-
tution but w* can't complain be-
cause most of our own people
think freeflom of religion mean*
that nobody na« a right .to ex-
press a belief that some or all
.......religions me absurd or evil. On
Ihe contrary freedom of religion
does include that right
But if we ourselves are too lazy
and tixi cowards to maintain
these facts, it stands to reason
that Europeans can t be equipped
to understand. Ihe English read
mawkishness filed by their own
hysterical faker*, expressing
shrewish personal emotion* and
they aie delighted with their own
self-nghteousnes* toward us bar-
barians But. haven't we worried
too much ariiut opinion* of our
management of our own attain
held by a gibbeting aggregation
of idiois who throw darts in gin-
mills and read tlie Daily Mail?
Die European concept of
“ America" and American* IS
about is valid a* the old Amer-
ican picture of the silly ass En-
lishman roaming the earth with
a hath sponge the sue of * pump-
kin It is impossible to correct
caricatures which are entertain-
ed with lascivious joy by most
