Here is the dramatic lowdown on how Hollywood performs difficult stunts which precipitate the ques- tion DO they really do it"

He works as day laborer, and eventually becomes Respondent when his wife anticipates baby; he is penniless.
 A stunting job is available. He undertakes the execution of death ride in canoe across tumultuous rapids in tense dramatic climax whick kept an audience glued to the edge of the seats.

PACT To BAR
PROPAGANDA
Of REDS
Protection of American Citi-
zens in Russia Also to Be
Made Part of Agreement
by International News Service

by International News Service
An understanding for the
protection of Americans who
work in Russia and for con-
troll Of communist propaganda
in this country was being
sought by President Roosevelt
today as a prerequisite to
American recognition Of the
Soviet Union.
This was learned in an
authoritative quarter as .e
Russo-American discussions con-
tinued.
The President. it was said, is
seeking an understanding with
Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet
foreign commissar, to prevent
any such trouble as was en-
countered by other countries
after they had recognized the
SovietS.
British Case Recalled
In the case of Great Britain,
which was the chief sufferer,
these difficulties centered around
the arrest of British nationals in
Russia on es. onage charges ID
communist propaganda activities
in England. The latter caused
an actual rupture Of relations in
1927 and the former the virtual
recall of the British ambassador
from Moscow early this y Aar,
followed by economic warfare.
One safeguard being sought
by the President concerning the
protection of American nationals
who may work in Russia is an
understanding similar to that
which Germany has with the
SovietS under the treaty OF
Rapallo.
This provides that the embassy
r 1St be notified within a
specified time Of the arrest of
any German national Ind that
the AMBASSADOR or an official OF
the embassy must be allowed to
see the prisoner without delay.
Propaganda Considered
In the case of the British
engineers who were arrested on
charges Of seeking information
concerning Soviet industrial
equipment, the prisoners were
unable to communicate with
friends until considerable diplo-
matte pressure was brought to
bear.
The question Of communist
propaganda, it was learned, also
is assuming a more important
role in the discussions than was
anticipated. Il was intimated
the President is seeking some
thing more than a mere agree
ment on the part of the Soviet
government to refrain from
propaganda.
Indications were that Mr..
Roosevelt was seeking some
arrangement to cover the activi-
ties Of the third international.
Although it was considered
unlikely Litvinoff would agree to
any arrangement which admitted
a link between the Soviet govern
ment and the third international,
it was thought some understand
ing might be reached whereby
the United States would be able
to deport communist agitatOrS
without running the risk Of q
diplomatic rupture.
