Moscow Blend Of Old And New Impresses Visitor
A Moscow visitor notices stark contrasts between Soviet grandeur and daily life. A taxi breaks down beside a steel monument to space, Red Square gleams with Lenin's tomb, and a Kremlin banner proclaims party glory. Ordinary scenes of shoppers, families, soldiers, and police passages reveal both awe and routine in postwar Soviet life.

New Grasses Created For Roadsides
The U S Soil Conservation Service provides technical help with a new grass on road banks near Jefferson on U S 340. Tested at Beltsville Plant Materials Center, agronomist Dr Thomas V Williams and Richard C Moffet of the Maryland State Roads Commission prepared the road bed. The SRC furnishes road contractors with roadside beautification program data from the SCS. The best four winners posted a payoff of 217,916 at Yonkers Raceway during the 1966 spring meeting.

VIPS Leave Washington To Tourists In Summer
An AP report notes the capital slows in July and August as embassies, officials, and visitors retreat. Humprey enjoys a melon at a banquet while ambassadors flee to the hills, Newport, Rome, or incognito travel.
