doubtedly is tine for many people.
But we ran across a suggestion in the Eugene
Register-Guard the other day for those people
who chronically bemoan
don't have time to read
they'd like. .
It said:
"Don't look for too much. Look at first for only a
little bit, maybe for 15 minutes a day . . : Suppose
you read a page a minute, which is not fast reading.
In two weeks you'll find you've read 200 pages if
you read only for 15 minutes a day. If you do this for
a year, you'll find you've read 5,475 pages or more
than a dozen fair sized books that you would not
otherwise read.
"At the end of this year, assuming you're still on
schedule, you'll likely find that you're reading more
than 15 minutes a day. More worlds are opening to
you. Your interests are broader than they ever were
before. The more you read, the more you find things
you want to read, and do read. Time no longer is
such a problem, for you find time appearing for read-
ing when time is no longer available for other things.
It's an a matter of choice."
THERE'S one more thing to be considered, and
that is the problem of selection.
In the past 20 or 30 years, the amount of print
ed matter has doubled
couple of hundred years or. so there have been
plenty of good books to read. But it. has been only
in the last few decades that there have been not
only books, but also bigger newspapers and a de
luge of magazines on every conceivable subject
and in every conceivable format.
Many of them are worth while. But with the
sheer volume of reading material available, one
must become more selective than ever before.

pleted all the
the tests of nuclear weapons
they have any present need
to make.
The Soviet test series, in
itself a remarkable phenome
non, began eight months ago.
Since last August their tests
have been made both singly
and in groups, and at a new
proving ground north of the
Arctic Circle as well as at the
Siberian proving ground al
ways previously used. -
Rather early in the series,
a powerful fusion device was
exploded at very high alti
tude, other weapons tested
have been described as "sub
stantial" in size, having "a
large yield," and "in the meg
aton range." Considerable
numbers of small weapons
have also been tested, and on
two occasions, there have
been two tests of different
weapons on the same day. In
all, 15 weapons tests have
been made in eight months.
This statistic is all the more
striking because , the Soviets
have made only 39 tests in aU
since their first successful
atomic shot in 1949.
rpHE tests gave no indication
-r of any serious Soviet, com
petition with the American
effort to get a clean nuclear'
bomb. But the high altitude
explosion of a fusion device
must be interpreted as an im
portant step in Soviet devel
opment of anti-aircraft rocket
with a nuclear warhead. And
various signs understood by
the scientists indicate that a
good many of the other weap
ons tested have been physi
cally very compact, and there
fore suitable for delivery by
medium and long range bal
listic missiles.
Such is the Soviet test
story, which adds just the
right note of grim irony to
the predicament of the Amer
ican policy makers. Judging
by the increasing passion of
the debate about nuclear
weapons in both Britain and
West Germany, the American
policy makers' predicament is
going to be very unpleasant
indeed, if the Kremlin comes
through, as forecast, with its
phoney announcement of a
vciunxary suspension oi iut-
ther nuclear tests as a "contri
bution to peace."
The phoniness will hardly
be noted, in either Germany
or Britain, or . indeed any
where else. The Kremlin in
itiative will be taken at face
value. The British govern
ment of Prime Minister Mac-
millan will be under particu
larly heavy public pressure to
match the Kremlin's gesture
with a similar gesture of its
own. In his present weak po
litical situation at home, Mac
miUan may even be driven to
take independent action if the
United States hangs back.

TlTEANWHILE, if the Ameri-
X'A can government insists
on continuing its nuclear
tests, the U. S. will be de
nounced for bloody-minded
ness and intransigence. And
it will not be much better
we say we are also ready to
end nuclear tests, after mak
ing adequate provisions for
inspection, as the President
vaguely hinted we might
eventually say - at his last
press conference. For in this
latter case, we shall just ap
pear to "me-too" the Soviet
initiative, and the credit for
ending tests will go to the So
viets.
Just to increase the irony a
little further, there is the ad
ditional fact that the Ameri
can' government has had am
ple warning of the Kremlin's
intentions. Weeks have pass
ed since the intelligence - an
alysts first warned the State
Department and the Atomic
Energy Commission that they
must be ready for a Kremlin
announcement of voluntary
test suspension.
Even .before this warning,
the idea of closing the atomic
club by agreeing to end tests
was already gaming ground
within the administration
One could predict that this
idea would eventually be
come firm policy. It was even
described in certain high cir
cles as the one positive thing
that might be agreed upon at
a summit meeting.
.
BUT fighting the whole
trpnrl with ereat bitter
ness ana astuteness was tne
chairman, of the Atomic En
ergy Commission, . Admiral
Lewis Strauss, with his staff
and allied scientists. The com
mittee meetings that were
held on all levels after the
intelligence warning were
riven with argument and dis
cord. Secretary of State
Dulles, who alone might have
made a decision, was away
until very recently on the con
ference circuit. So the final
policy decision was the one
that has become increasingly
usual.
It was the decision to do
nothing, to remain impassive,
to wait dumbly for the other
side's blow, because agreeing
to do nothing was easier than
agreeing to do something.

About Washington
By ROSCOE DRUMMOND
(Substituting for Walter Lippmann, now in Europe)
DEALING WITH THE
RECESSION
Washington There are
four favorable developments
bearing on the recession.
They are encouraging de
velopments, not because they
suggest a speedy upturn
which is certainly not visible
but because they show that
the Federal government is
acting alertly and responsibly
to shorten and cushion the
slump:
1 the cushioning stabiliz
ers, which have been built in
to the economy since the har
rowing experience of the
long-drawn-out depression of
1929, are proving their value
as never before. These stabi
lizers include old-age pensions
and, primarily, unemploy
ment insurance payments
which vary in amount and
length by states and which
President Eisenhower is ask
ing Congress to extend for an
additional 13 weeks through
Federal financing. In conse
quence personal income is
holding up better today than
in any postwar dips in the
economy and this itself is
brake on the downward spir
al. Personal income declined
8 per cent in the 1929 depres
sion, only 3.1 per cent in
1948-49, 1.9 in 1952-54, 1.3 per
cent in 1957-58.
2 Another favorable de
velopment is the certainty
that the Federal government
the President and Congress
alike, will exercise the fullest
range of its resources from
monetary policy to a tax cut
if necessary, to preclude mass
unemployment and to build
recovery. The Eisenhower ad
ministration oes not believe
that government action can
end the recession by itself or
even provide the main stimu
lus. But it certainly doesn't
look on the recession as an
act of angry providence out of
everybody's control and it
does believe that Federal ac
tion can hold the recession in
bounds and shorten its dura
tion.
J The next encouraging
development is the extent to
which the leaders of both par
ties are now stepping back
from playing partisan politics
drogen atoms in sea water

ALSO-
"Don't liaf vonrceslf eroff at
this fantastic modern world.
It
's a GOOD world. It's a bet-
ter
world than mankind has
ever known before.. And it's
GETTING BETTER. For ex
ample: For countless centuries the
rich got richer and the poor
got poorer. But a survey of
consumer finances sponsored
by the Federal Reserve Board
shows that here in America,
in the years since 1950, the
number of families with less
than $5,000 of annual income
has GONE DONE by nearly
seven million. The number of
families with MORE than
$5,000 of annual income has
GONE UP by more than 11
million. The number with in
comes of $7,500 or more has
RISEN by seven million.
THAT is to say:

leadership."
Nikolai A. Bulganin, who
has been demoted from Pre
mier to president of the State
Bank, was the last of five men
who were in the first rank of
leadership when Josef Stalin
died on March 5, 1953.
Khrushchev may not be
another Stalin. For one thing,
there is no sign that he pos
sesses Stalin's insane lust for
power. It may be that he will
listen to, and to some extent
be guided by, the views of his
colleagues in the ruling Com
munist Party Presidium.
But it happened that one
by one the top-ranking men
with taxes.
""OTHING could be more
helpful than the agree
ment reached between Secre
tary of Treasury Robert An
derson and Speaker Sam
Rayburn of the House, where
tax bills must originate, that
neither the Administration
nor the Democratic leader
ship will try to pull off a po
litical coup by rushing for
ward with a tax-cut bill while
the other's head is turned.
The agreement is that neither
side will act without prior
consultation with the other.
That's good.
This is responsible politics
at its best. It is not surprising
that two men of such stature
and wisdom as Speaker Ray
burn and Secretary Anderson
should be the ones to have
brought about this under
standing. There are solid reasons why
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ray-
burn are trying to keep poli
tics out of the tax equation.
It is economically dangerous
to rush into a tax cut for
wrong reasons because, by
acting too soon and before the
facts are clear enough, a tax
cut might prove to be the
wrong thing. It is politically
dangerous because it is by no
means self-evident that the
political rewards will go with
the tax-cutters, particularly if
a tax cut abets inflation and
keeps the cost of living going
up.
But the temptation to try to
play politics with a tax cut is
very great and it is reassur
ing to see Mr. Anderson and
Mr. Rayburn standing agains
it.
rFHIS leads to the fourth fa
vorable development. Tak
ing much of the political heat
off precipitate tax cutting
means that the' Administra
tion will be in a better posi
tion to resist a premature tax
decision. It can better do
what it believes wise, namely,
wait until the recession indi
cators are clearer and thereby
act more prudently.
The outlook now is that the
end of the downturn is not
yet at hand, but there is a pos
sibility that there will soon
be favorable factors in some
segments of the economy, like
home building (which the
bleak winter has been hurt
ing) and department store
sales. This means that the
need for tax reduction may
not be promptly evident and
that it will be prudent not to
rush into a tax cut. The cli
mate for prudence is better
than it was a month ago.
Prudence does not mean in
action on anti-recessicn meas
ures. There are no political
incentives for inaction partic
ularly since the ' Gallup poll
now shows that for the first
time since 1937 a majority of
the voters cite unemployment
as the nation's No. 1 problem.

who stood with Khrushchev
beside Stalin's coffin have
gone Lavrenti P. Beria,
Georgi M. Malenkov, Lazar
M. Kaganovich, Vyacheslav
M. Molotov and Bulganin.
With them has gone Marshal
Georgi K. Zhukov, who rose
to the first rank later.
Few Survivors
The only survivors of those
who stood beside the coffin
besides Khrushchev are Mar
shal Klementi E. Voroshilov,
the 77-year-old figurehead
president of Russia, and
Anastas I. Mikoyan, who had
not then really attained first
rank.
Now, whatever happens, the
five-year collective leadership
has gone. For even if Khru
shchev acts with the counsel
of his fellow-members of the
Presidium, he is the unchal
lenged leader.
Since Malenkov. Molotov
and Kaganovich plotted to
overthrow him last June,
Khrushchev has packed the
Presidium with younger men,
on whose loyalty he feels he
can depend, from the various
Soviet republics.
He seems safe from in
trigue against him for quite
a while.
The men who have gone
were accused, probably just
ly, of trying to disrupt the
collective leadership either
because, like Beria and Zhu
kov they coveted the leader
ship themselves, or because,
like Malenkov, Molotov, Ka
ganovich and Bulganin, they
disagreed with Khrushchev's
policies.
Intrigue seems to have de
veloped almost from the first'
in the post-Stalin leadership.
There was little apparent
intrigue in Stalin's day. It was
Stalin's practice to strike
first when he suspected any

Little Father. Big Brother
Now, it might be said,
things are normal again in
Russia normal even as they
were in the days before 1917
when the czar was the "little
father." .
Under Communism the big
brother, rather than the little
father, is an essential man.
Nikolai Lenin was the big
brother before his death in
1924. He was a much bigger
man than either Stalin or
Khrushchev and it is inter
esting to speculate what
might have happened in Rus
sia had he lived.
After Lenin came the grim
years of Stalin. Then Khru
shchev denounced Stalin and
the "cult of personality." But
for whatever reason, the col
lective leadership which fol
lowed did not work.
Whether ' Khrushchev all
along aspired to one-man dic
tatorship or had it thrust
upon him by circumstances
does not matter. He is now
the big brother which Rus
sian Communism seems to
need.
