To the stranger. Moscow seems TO
be the place designed as the Hades

they die. There are a few good
new models. but for the most part,
the touring cars. runabouts and lor-
ries which speed through Moscow's
streets, generally laden with roughly
dressed Soviet officials or Red Army
officers. are Of a pre-1914 vintage,
one-lunged ghosts from the scrap
heap. coughing bad gasoline and
