BY BRUCE CATION

IGNORANCE, filth, darkness and
i cruelty marked the Russia of the
late seventeenth century. An orr
entail car ruled in the Kremlin, and
a ring of greedy mobiles ground the
luckleSs peasants into the dirt.
Compared with the rest of Europe,
Russia was sunk deep in hopeless
barbarism.
And then along came a boyish
car who liked to play with SOL
diers, but who had the saving grace
of being willing to learn; and he
pitched in to bring his great, in
dolent country up to date.
All of this is described in "Peter
the Great" by Alexei Tolstoi, book
partly biography and partly fiction,
and which probably best can be de-
scribed as historical novel.
The first part of the book is the
most forceful. In it there is a clear
picture of the strange, crazy mess
into which affairs at Moscow had
got; the turmoil of stupidity, terror
and fitful rage which possessed all
Russian society.
There is, also, a good description
of the slow development of Peter;
how he began by maintaining a
play army" or the palace grounds,
how he made friends with the for
eign merchants in, Moscow and
learned from them how backward
his country really was, how he
toured Europe, working in shipyards
and factories to school himself, and
how he finally returned to begin
a job of remodeling which makes
Stains Five-Year Plan look simple.
But the book ends too abruptly.
The author brings you to his climax
and then quits on you. Maybe
that's all right, if you're familiar
with Russian history. If, like me,
you aren't, it's disconcerting.
In the main, though, you'll find

Cherry's face had gone white. She

told Garth Hendricks
There's no use saying that and
there's no use even thinking it
You've no proof Hendricks spilled

show that radio has made the
child of IL surprisingly mature
and his elders more appreciative
of intelligent, well-developed radio
programs than the current fare
served up by sponsors would, in
his opinion, indicate.
One youngster answered all
the questions correctly. The rest
missed one or two Of the 20
queries.
To the question what is a
crooner?" they replied: "A crooner
is a person who sings jazz over
the radio just like Rudy Vallee."
= Here are some Of the other
questions put to the children:
What great radio orchestra
leader is listed in who's Who'?"
Paul Whiteman," they re-
sponsed in unison.
What is he called?" Ninety
per cent of the children said, '"The
king of jazz" -.
what kind of song is bar
carole?" Eighty per cent of them
answered, "a boat song.'::'
Who wrote Babes in Toyland?"
They all answered Victor Her
bert"
The entire group knew that
Moonlight Sonata" was Beetho-
.ven's most famous work. Peggy
Zinke of Manhattan also said
Fifth Symphony" which placed
her above the rest.
They all said they liked to listen
to dramatic sketches and opera
on the air. The girls proved smart
er than the boys.
Lanny feels the test proves his
contention, as well as thesfact that
the opportunity radio presents to
reach chcildren hitherto inacces-
sible has made them more appre-
ciative of good music and more
mature than people who didn't
know radio in their youth.
