London Letter

London (UP)-How leading Bol- sheviki view President Roosevelt s New Deal was illustrated by the Soviet No. l journalist, Karl Ra< dek, in a conversation during a visit to Moscow.
 Radek- was asked whether he be- lieved that there is a systematic plan behind the Roosevelt recov- cry program.
 He replied in an autobiograph- ical vein.
 Il was in Poland not long ago." he answered, and my Polish host invited me for an automobile drive in the country. We lost our way. After touring aimlessly for a while my host explained that there is only one effective method to avoid going astray. He said one must take along a compass that func- tions perfectly, be in possession of a precise map of the country and one meets en route as to the best road to follow"
 That" concluded Radek, "seem- of the plan behind the New Deal in America"
 MSenStein, most noted of Soviet movie producers, recently, decided in all earnestness to make a film of Karl Marks three-volume clas- sic of Socialism, "Das Kapital." News of this plan reached the re- ceptive ears of the Soviet satirist, Michael Koltzox. Koltzov tele- phoned Eisenstein.
 "I just heard of your idea of filming Marks 'Kapitar," said Koltzov, "and I wanted to tell you think it's a wonderful scheme. And, by the way, I wanted to sug- gest, too. that when you've fin ishedNthat job you might make Q weekly news reel of the Moscow telephone directory. Try to put some sex appeal in it."

The navy has not yet decided what it is going to do about dirigibles in the future. There are good reasons for suspecting that the Bacon will, for long time remain the only big lighter-than-air cruiser on the naval roster. Meanwhile, however, it is worth noting that Lieut.. Com. c. E. Rosendahl, who once commanded the Ak ron and who knows dirigibles about as we'll as any man in the navy, still has faith in the utility of that kind of ship.
