It'a bard to believe that space has no limits yon watch a woman trying to park in an eifht- foot opening. We don't need statistics to tell us that the average run of motorists is too fast per hour on icy streets. Nothing It inpoaiible, wys a writer.

One of HUM lucky rentt who meeti nothing but nice people. If all women decided to do just as they please think of the unmade beds and sinks full of dlshea Ike's A-lnformotion Plan Is Sensible Compromise President Eisenhower seems to have struck a sensible compromise on the difficult problem of sharing our atomic secrets with the country's allies. Under present law, the United Statea can tell friendly nations virtually nothing about atomic matters. This law was adopted at a time when we enjoyed a monopoly, of the atomic bomb, and when Europe we feared any information transmitted stood a good chance of winding up in Russian hands. There are several reasons why that law is now obsolete.

no longer have a monopoly either on the A-bomb or the H-bomb. Besides, friendly Canada and Britain are doing important work in the field, andd Britain has exploded at least two A-bombs. Futhermore, this research is felt to be of sufficient value to serve as a kind of cross-fertilizing of our own studies. It is a standard rule of science that advances come most surely from maximum exchange of information and ideas: Then, too, our own development of atomic force into a varied system of weapons has caused our military leaders to place much greater future reliance on these than upon conventional weapons. This means fewer ground troops, more dependence on aircraft o'fetn distantly based from the Eurpean scene, We cannot easily tell our friends to have faith in our atomic capabilities when they do not know at least some of the things we know about using these defending themselves against them.

Yet the mood of Congress and the attitude of American oficialdom is not such that we con let down the bars completely on atomic information. British laxity in the Fuchs and other cases put us on guard, and France's bureaucracy is still honeycombed with Eeds. Consequently, Mr. Eisenhower proposes an intermediate course designed to protect our most vital secrets and yet prepare our European friends for the realities of the atomic age. He wants Congress to give the White House discretionary authority to tell gur allies how to use atomic weapons and protect themselves from atomic attack should it come.

But even in the field of weapons use, he would not disclose everything. Instead, information would be made available on a selecvtive basis, with our atomic officials judging what should be withheld. As or the scientific fundamentals underlaying our atomic research, we would not for the present disclose any' to our alliea. Nothing of the chemistry or engineering data we have would be passed on. This is a loss to us as well ns to our as to our allies, but it evidently is the President's view that in the current state of European security we dare not take this step.

Undoubtedly, too, he is mindful of the fact that Congress almost certainly would frown on such a bold exchange. This compromise, an obviously limited thing, is at least a start toward bringing our allies into fuller confidence on atomic matters. Further progress must await stronger assurances from them that they are capable of safeguarding such data properly. Weight of the Times The recent newspaper strike in Manhattan was particularly painful to The New York Times. Until the recent 11- day hiatus in publishing, the Times had an unbroken record of 102 years without a miss.

The Great Recorder was proud of having recorded so faithfully. It came as no surprise to learn that the Times intended to make up for lost time once the presses were rolling again. So, on the first Sunday after the strike, the delight of librarians and historians issued forth with the biggest paper in its history. It weighed five all- time record. Obviously, arguments presented in the Times carry great weight.

Views of Others It Is Too Bad Years ago the Sam Jones, the famous evangelist, came to e. Kentucky town noted for its culture The question had been asked on the streets and In the parlors: "Do you think Sam Jones will take here?" When the great night came, Sam began his lecture by calling attention to the question, and with his inimitable and infectous smile he said, "Wouldn't It be too bad If Sam Jones didn't take here?" The critical audience felt very much deflated. It Is reported by American diplomats, representing this country In various captlals, that the Harry Dexter White case has lowered American prestige, Isn't that too bad? It is possible for the United States to find any place in which to hide her head? Can she survive the shock of foreign disapproval? This country has everything which Europe lacks. It has poured out 40 billion dollars to enable European economy to survive, and to rcvel- ve after having won the last war and prevented the Germans under Hitler from subjugating the Continent. It has organized the West, created a union of the free states, built a new and Impregnable line of defense arid supplied new weapons which promise to prevent mnclmen from precipitating another world a mere Incident In domestic policy has, It is said, Injured her prestige abroad.

How absurd for anybody'Jiere to take those reports seriously. Europe "VinnBS on America's neck. Her fate will be determined by American intervention should the pence be broken. Her economy can stand only with the help Irom this side. To talk about such criticisms as have been heard is to waste breath.

Let them think what they will. America's business is America's business. If the United States does not "take" in Europe, it Is too bad for Europe. Those who shake their heads dolefully are Leader. Dirty Hands We rend in the news reports that the head of the Rolls-Royce a Rolls-Royce, ol up to the White House the other day for a visit.

I am thoroughly convinced this Is an admirable plan. And I will use every effort at my (pension) plans maintained Commissioner Frlck. 'Now What Happened to That Funeral Procession?" Peter Cdson's Washington Column British Diplomat Falls for Gag: No Prizes Due in Money Mix-Up WASHINGTON (NBA) A British diplomat was chatting with another guest at a reception in the an-American Union.

It was getting a little late and the man finally asked the Britisher when he thought the food would be served. The reply wa that there might not he any food at this party. With that the stranger Peter Eason said: "Look, I really drive a truck for i Washington department store nd I Just walked In here looWng for a meal. If you're hungry, too, I know there's a swell party going on at the Mayflower Hotel now. We cnn go up there and the food will be fine." With that the diplomat walked nway to report the presence of a gate crasher.

But when he was pointed out to the host, he really laughed. He explained to the Englishman thnt the "crasher" none other than Gen. Bill Maglm, Army provost marshal, and a Brent Jokcster. The Britisher liked the Rng BO well that he asked Gn- nl Matrlin's permission to u.se It at another party later on. Maglin told htm to go ahead, and they both went home to Icebox suppers.

No rlze For This A congressional committee re- from Sen. Harry F. Bird's of- ice got pretty well fouled up the other day through mlsunderstand- ng. News dispatches gave the Im- jression that the U. S.

government now had $14 billions in unexpended cash. Many people who read this wrote in to ask why some of this couldn't be applied to cuttin; in half the $273 billion national debt. Actually, the report said that as of Sept. 1 the government had "unexpended balances in appropriations" totaling $149 billion. This means that they are authorizations for future spending.

They're more like credits than cash on hand. Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey got curious over how this rhubarb began, and aslgned one of his aides to find out. The report came back with the comment ttiat he didn't think any reporters would win a ulitzer prize for this one. Low Income Expected TJ.

Like Russia? One apparently widespread reac- ion In Europe to Attorney General Herbert Brownell's charges against ex-President Harry S. Truman's Inxily in dealing with the Harry Dexter White case was a saying that it proved the United States was just like Russia. Lavrenti P. Beria was removed from high offce in Russia and immediately branded a traitor. The party of Harry S.

Truman was re- moved from office and less than a year later he was accused of being a traitor. So what's the difference, asked the Europeans, between the Russians and the Americans? Both Ford Motor Co. and Army Ordnance are being very hush- hush about reports that the Detroit auto builder had developed brand new aircraft gun, only to have the production contract given to General Motors.

This Is the cushion which Is also supposed to give the country adequate reserve for bad crop years.

Under present law, the legally authorized corn carryover is 300 million bushels. The new idea is to make this 600 million bushels.
