If any idea fingers that - as somebody said
not long ago - freedom of worship" prevails
in Soviet Russia, the two pictures on this page
should be sufficient to dispe that mistaken idea.
These pictures came from SOVIET RUSSIA.
Both of them were DISPLAYED in Soviet
Russia as part Of the ANTI CHRIST campaign
which has been unremttingly carried on under
the Soviet's CONSTITUTIONAL guaranty of "free-
dom of ANTI RELIGIOUS propaganda"
Long ago the American people were told that
these were the real attitudes of Communism
toward religious faith.
Far back in 1881 DIR. George s. Counts, pro-
lessor at Columbia University, who had toured
Soviet Russia, published book called "The
Soviet Challenge to America"
On page al he said - of RUSSIA:
"By means of an unrelenting campaign of
education and propaganda which reaches into the
most remote and intimate corners Of the state,
the pillars Of captalistc society are made to
appear in despicable role - as enemies of the
people, exploiters of the poor and afflicted, cruel
vampires living on the blood of the masses"
And on page 23 DR.. Counts said of Commu-
nists and religion:
"They contend that since the rise of the
earliest civilizations one ruling class after another
has sought and obtained supernatural sanction
for it's privileges; that the priest has ever been
ready to sprinkle holy water over the instruments
of exploitation; and that the Christian Church in
particular, with its doctrines of humility and i'm
mortality has kept the people from revolt against
intolerable wrongs
According to THEIR view of history,
religion everywhere has placed the stamp of
divine approval on innumerable forms of social
injustice, served to perpetuate the blacklist super
stition, tended to close the mind to scientific
inquiry, and MADE THE MASSES CONTENT
TO LIVE AND DIE IN MISERY"
The sacrilegious posters reproduced here
were but A SMALL FRACTION of Soviet
Russia's "unrelentng campaign of education
and propaganda" AGAINST RELIGION.

four House members prepared for

1t calls for a record appropria-
ton of S46,O00,0O0 annually, based
on a distribution formula which
city school experts estimate will
cost Detroit more than S1,000,000

now controlled through a rural
dominated board of directors, tried
all week to find A group of law
makers willing to sponsor the
measure and finally found four

 Let's suppose that the source Of these "subversive broadcasts' can not be established immediately. Working with other listening posts the radio detective" goes to work. He uses the station finder meth cd. which has been developed tech nically to such a point in recent years that within few hours or days at most--the FCC investi- gator can walk into the very house and room where a secret broad casting station is operating. He also uses his highly developed know ledge of voice. infection, speaking habits. piiraseology.
 There are experts working Tor the EGG now who can spot dozens of foreign and local broadcasters whom they have never seen or talked with. They are the hand writing experts of the ether waves. Slurs. sibilants, dropped consonants and repeated phrases become as familiar to them as the outline of a figure. the tilt of the head, the gait and swing of the arms by which you recognize friend or member of your family JUST ANOTHER STEP
 With sources spotted and materi- al transcribed and analyzed, plots and plans often can be seen long before they can become effective and their ultimate result nullified either by simple exposure or counter-propaganda.
 This is only one more step in the war of the air waves. The EGG and the Defense Communications Board have been working on it for months. It ties in with the fact that amateurs can't broadcast out side our borders and possessions; that 100000 radio operators and thousands of commercial telegraph and cable operators handling for eign dispatches have proved their citizenship and filed their finger prints: that it's Federal offense to toss chit-chat or any kind of superfluous verbiage into the air from commercial stations on land or sea.
 Perhaps it ties in also with the fact that approximately 200 sta- tions in this country are now broad- casting l,7O0 programs weekly in one or more of 31 different for eign languages-but that's another story.

 She wanted to shake her head. No one since Sandy had waited for her in that office. She must clear out his memories before Phil or anyone else entered. Then, too, Phil's offices were down in Maiden Lane, steep white street in the Wall Street district, and he prob- ably had work enough to do to keep him busy all evening.
 But Phil had been kind when there had been no special need for him to take care of her. Maybe 1t would be better not to sit alone on deeply cushioned seat in a dusky room and remern- Der to strains of canned music. Yes, detiniateiy, 1t would be better to 90 with Phil.
