lation to prices than it was under
the Cars. And the whole system
is enforced by an army of secret po-
lice which would stir envy in the
breasts of the Pharaohs of Egypt
or of Heinrich Himmler himself"
Nevertheless we in America pro-
duce steady stream of Whitewash
in the form of pro-Soviet plays,
books, magazine articles and motion
pictures. Russians on the other
hand are fed standard fare of de-
nunciations of the supposed misery
and degradation of our way of life.
Lasting cooperation with Russia,
Eastman says, cannot be achieved
while Russians attack our civiliza-
ton hammer and tongs, and we use
as our WatchWord: Don't say a
word against Stain or he won't &C
cept our tanks!" If we want any,
thing from Stain, that is the way
not to get it.
Eastman suggests that we give all
possible military help to Russia; Of
fer unbounded praise to the hero
ism of her people and her soldiers:
extend every courtesy to her gov
eminent. But, he urges, the closer
we work with Russia the more vital
it is, both to our national self-in-
terest and the interest of world de-
mocracy that we quit kidding our
selves and face the facts. Stain
conceives himself as playing a role
in world-historical drama in which
those who fawn on him are mex
orably cast for the role of dupes.
And that is why Eastman insists
we must have clear and hold I'M
derstanding of the devious method
of the Communist attack.

To collaborate successfully with
Russia "a present and postwar
"must''-we have to seek realistic
understanding of that country based
on facts and not on propaganda,
urges Max Eastman in the lead ar
ticle in the July issue of the Reader
Digest. The only sound way to do
business with Stain, he claims, is
to let him know we thoroughly I'M
derstand his setup as we'll as our
own.
We must realize, says Eastman
who lived two years in Russia and
studied Communism both in theory
and in practice more thoroughly
than any other American, that
Stain was bred and educated in
principled contempt for the mol
| lycoddle" statesmen Of bourgeois
democracies, and if our policy does
not have force we may be sure it
will not command his respect. He
points out that Stain is man OF
infexible and brutal will whose aim
is to overthrow, by any and every
means available, the governmental,
economic and social system in which
we live, and he cannot be Soft-Soap-
ed into doing what cold calculation
does not recommend.
Bolsheviks do not believe even
theoretically in good faith, says
Eastman, and if we merely sit back
and sing hosannas to Stain for
delivering us from the Comintern,
he will laugh in his sleeve, and,
Eastman adds, he will laugh last.
We should, the article states, accept
the dissolution of the Comintern as
carte blanche from our ally to take
effective action against the Com
munist conspiracy at home, and
thus, by blocking Stains longtime
schemes, compel his respect.
In his article Eastman gives due
praise to the heroic fight of the
Russian armies and people against
Hitler's military machine. He feels
we are justified in our pride in so
powerful an ally, but wants us to
bear in mind that the stubborn re-
sistance of the Russians no more

and the despotism he wages is in

Cars and in many respects he has

Eastman who says:

Time; Ample Facilities Now Available

Nearly half of the almost 1900 can
Ger cases in Connecticut occurring
in the productive age group between
twenty and sixty could be cured if
full use were made of. our present
knowledge about the disease, accord
ing to Matthew H. GrisWold M. D.,
DR., P H, Chief of the Division Of
the Division of Cancer Research, in
an article in the Monthly Bulletin Of
the State Department of Health. If
these people were cured, they would
be enabled to return to work and
to a normal, useful life and save
the state several million dollars.
Conserve Resources
Doctor GrisWold pointed out that
the cancer program in Connecticut
is designed to conserve the human
resources of the state by prevent
ing cancer or providing adequate
treatment for the disease when it
occurs. AS part of this program
complete records have been obtained
of twenty thousand cases hospital
lied for cancer since January /,
1885. From these records and from
the Bureau of Vital Statistics in
formation is obtained which is vital
in planning control measures. These

ences between the control of can
Ger in men and in women, and the
length of time which elapSes from
the appearance of the first symptom
to the beginning of treatment.
The average age of Connecticut
cancer patients at death is "a years
However, Doctor GrisWold said that
the age is being increased by appli-
cation Of present knowledge about
the disease. He added another note
of hope when he said that there
were fewer deaths from cancer in
1941 than in 1910. This may we'll be
temporary change and without
significance.
Chronic IrritatiOns
Cancer is being controlled by the
prevention of chronic irritations,
medical care of precancerous condi-
tions, and adequate diagnosis and
therapy applied at the earliest pos
sible period of the disease. Informal
ton is being spread about these
methods of control and people are
being encouraged to recognize such
abnormalities as chronic irritations
and precancerous LESSONS and bring
about their removal.
There are thousands of cured can
Ger cases in Connecticut-people who
have had cancers or precancerS re-
moved. The excellent facilities for
diagnosis of cancer, the modern
equipment and trained doctors for
treating the disease, and the spread
ing of information that the real re-
sponsibility for cure rests with the
individual who should go to his doc
tor at the earliest suspicious sign,
are all helping to make progress in
cancer control in the state Doctor
GrisWold urged his listeners to act
promptly at the first appearance
of symptom and to have an an
nual health examination anyway.

Beach Martin was just friend of
diplomats, Army and Naval Off
GERS, businessmen and "a gambler
named Mr.. Brown" or whether, as
the government charges, she knew
them as proprietress of an elite
"call house"
Closing arguments were completed
late yesterday after Mrs Martin,
wife of a Navy pharmacist mate,
admitted that she had made mis-
takes in her younger days but that
furnishing girls for the entertain
ment of diplomats was not one of
them.
The government accuses her of
violating the white slave act on
three counts by sending girls to
fashionable Washington hotels for
immoral purposes.
Prosecutor Bernard Margolius
asking for a conviction, told the
jurors that if they freed the de-
PENDANT they would make Washing

States"
"Acquit her and 10000 or SO Of
our American soldiers might get

He ridiculed the defense that
diplomats and others with whom she
attended parties were just friends.
why. if that was their status, !"
he demanded, didn't they come to
court to support Mrs. Martin? I'll
tell you why. Because she knows
them in the wrong way"
Mrs. Martins attorney, Harry
Whalen, argued that the govern
ment had failed to show any proof
of the charges and that it had built
its case only on the testimony of
two admitted prostitutes, Dorothy
Smiley, %, and Hope Alfonso, 20.

Camping Given
1000 Girls in
Scout Program

With the summer drawing to
close, the District organization of
the Girl Scouts of America estimates
that it has made some type of
camping experience available to ap-
proximately 1000 girls this season.
More than 300 have attended at
least one 3-week session at Camp
May Flather, located in the George
Washington National Forest in Vir-
ginia; 20 went to Sailing Camp at
Shady Side, Md. and about TOO were
enrolled in the day camps in WASH
ington and the suburbs.
More than 100 Washington girls
now are attending the final session
at Camp May Flather, maintained
by the local Girl Scouts to give girls
camping experience at a reasonable
cost. The first two sessions were
open only to Scouts, but the final
3-week period is open to all
girls between 10 and l8.
This year the program differed
little from that of previous seasons.
Explaining how the staff approached
the subject one member declared:
The Job of our young teen-age girls
today is to be thinking of the peace
that is to come after this war and
TO be ready for it. They need an
opportunity to get away from the
chaos and sordidness of war and to
see, feel and absorb beauty in peace
full surroundings for a few weeks in
the summer"
stepping up of the conservation
work was the major change in the
program. Ranger Aides" are devot-
