the Vatican Communist because 1t

Supreme Red Council
IsLike u. 5. Congress,
Even 10 Ba|dheads
BY EDDY GILMORE,


GRAND PALACE OF THE KREM.
LIN. MOSCOW, Jan. 20 Delayed
The most impressive thing about
this glittering scene OF the supreme
Soviet is just how far these people
have come since the revolution
the ease with which peasants and
laborers have shifted into this once
sparkling court of the czars.
Premier Stain, immaculate in a
fawn-colored marshal's uniform, the
son of poor Georgian, sits on q
handsome carpeted platform in the
exact spot where the czars once
were crowned.
There is nothing tense about him
or other members of the Politburo
from bewhiskered little President
Kalinin to huge, towering Alexan-
der Shcherbakov. deputy defense
commissar.
Stain in Genial Mood.
Stain usually sits casually with
his chin in hand, following the
speaker. He crosses and uncrosses
his legs, talks quietly with For
eign Commissar Molotov, often
smiles and mods his head at some
thing one Of his colleagues says.
Oddly, no one ever treats him
with awe, but refers to him as
Tovarisch Stain, just as does every
Russian.
A little girl on my hotel floor
stopped me in the hall. You're
going to the Kremlin," said 7-year-
old Anna. IF you see Tovarisch
Stain, please give him my greeting
and tell him my friends and l in
school thank him and think he's
the biggest man in the world"
I told Anna I would certainly
tell him that-if I talked to him.
Resembles Congress Opening.
There's lots of similarity between
a supreme Soviet meeting and the
opening days of the United States
Congress.
You have to show a special press
card at the Kremlin gate, then
make your own way to the great
palace. You show the card to q
uniformed policeman again and de-
posit your hat and coat at stand
for correspondents. An elevator
takes you to the press box door.
There is the same buzz OF con-
versation on the floor, the same
greetings between delegates, back
slaps and jokes, then seriousness a.
the session gets under way. Look
ing down on the delegates from the
gallery you get the same impres-
sion you do in Congress-lots OF
baldheaded gents.

MY answer to Mr.. Stain and hi

Let me be frank. The statement
made by the Russian paper Izvesti,
is absolutely and unqualifiedly false
1t Is in line with Pravda's statemen
about British attempts to make ,
separate peace and about man.

Sees Attempt 1t Disunity.
"The purpose of the Russian pres
would seem to be to create disunit,
not only among the Allied nations
but everywhere the world over. IL
the meantime, Russia is preparing
to take Eastern Poland and tn,
Baltic states, regardless Of what tn,
British and American government!
may think about it."
Msgr. Sheen said the Soviet attacl
on the Vatican was expected.
This charge against the Vatican
is no great surprise" Msgr. Sheer
said. Every one who knows Soviet
Russia knew 1t was coming. Wha'
was unexpected was the timing. TIL,
fact that 1t should come now rather
than month later proves how con

Predicts Separate Peace.
From now on We may expect tn,
development OF Soviet Russia's pol

First, we may expect a separat,

may expect an alliance between
Communism and Nazi-ism for tn

Msgr. Sheen said he was not i'm
pressed by the Soviets calling tn,
Vatican Fascist"
IT you say it's cold in Moscow
you're Fascist" he said. "Th
Soviets use words cleverly. AS the,

1A hns always been c matter of xeEfet Co me that SO many top- notch radio performers need such long summer vacations, and that anonaors in many eases urge such vacations upon them, For it is my contention that the sponsors = rightly or wrongly--lose out in the long run, For radio listeners are Q hnhlt forming breed, When they like, and are accustomed to tuning in Go . certain program they defin- ately miss that program, and the substitutes provided are usually = just substitutes, even if they are excellent, or nearly excellent in their own way. Not only do they miss the expected pleasure of an old tried program, they often resent the newcomer--which, of course, is manlfeStly unfair. But life has Q way of being often that
