The broadcast attack was made by Prof. L. I. Klimovich, speaking on Moscow's home ser- vice.

Transport Minister Dymond says his department has some doubts about the new pedestrian rule "Maybe we shouln't make a pedestrian wait on the curb if there isn't a car in sight," he said in an interview. "Maybe we're trying to legislate for every |eventuality. But if one person is {kept from getting hurt it will be | worthwhile." His department plans to await public reaction and study the ef- rate. "If the measure isn't feas- [ible then we'll have to take a second look." Meanwhile, all the new regula- tions should be enforced immedi- ately without any "probationary period," Dr. Dymond said.
