certainly Is reason for uneasiness
in journalistic circles about the
American authorities decision to
allow all newspapers without eX-

Boris Isakov made the broadcast
in English. Charging that there
was a whispering campaign IN
Britain and the United States about
a possible eventual war with the
Soviet Union, Isakov said:
Take the Hearst, Mccormick
and Patterson papers, for instance.
They are certainly not stopping at
whispering What you see there
today could better be described as
strident yells about a future war
against Russia And the Scripps-
Howard press is not far behind in
the same theme"
Isakov included the British Cath
