 Arctic Moves Hit by pravda
Communist Organ AssaiIs Myth of Danger
 from North

LONDON, Sept. 28-Pravda com mented today that Arctic exped- itions organized by the American military leaders are not likely to help the consolidation of peace and the strengthening of confidence among peoples
 In an article broadcast from Moscow, the Communist newspaper reported propaganda in the United States ito convince native people that America is completely defense less from the side of the Arctic"
 Tt does not matter to the au- thors of such opinions, and still less their masters" the article add ed, that as yet the Arctic is in that, on the other side of the Arc tic, opposite the American contin- habited mainly by polar bears and ent, lies the Soviet Union, which has demonstrated clearly to all mankind it's efforts for friendship with all peace loving nations.
 Myth of Danger
 "The myth of danger from the north is dictated by tendencies which have nothing in common with the interests of peace. It be- longs to the shouting about new war, which is carried on with such zeal by the military political intel ligence agents and their supporters"
 Pravda said United Etates actts vity i.l the lar north testifies to the tendency of military circles to extend expansion in the Arctic"
 The most important of those measures the article added, were the Arctic expedition of the Am erican carrier Midway in the spring of this year and the Canadian-Am- erican expedition 'Muskox," which took place at the same time.
 These expeditions were sur rounded with a certain secrecy, and foreign correspondents were not all lowed aboard the Midway Never theless, it became widely known that both these expeditions had purely military strategic aims and, moreover, not so much of a de- fensive as of an offensive charac- ter"

Merry -Go Round
 The W ashington
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON The Admins tration has decided to wait out what it considers the most effec- tive and subtle political squeeze play the Republicans have pulled so far - the squeeze play on meat.
 That was behind Secretary of Agriculture Anderso radio broadcast from New Mexico an- nouncing that meat prices would not be decontrolled. Anderson, a cattle raier himself, knows the inside of the cattle game, and he also knows it's politics.
 He knows, among other things, that every big cattle rancher in the far west is either a Republi- can or a conservative Democrat. He also knows that the feed-lot farmers of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and the Middle West are now pre- doninantly Republican. AS re- suit, Anderson and other Admin istration leaders are convinced the squeeze is on to keep cattle off the markets until ater. the Novem- Der elections or until Washington yells uncle" and removes OPA ceilings on meat.
 Ordinarily this is the time Of year when cattle moves off the ranges to Eastern markets Grass begins to get scarce now and ranchers can't profitably keep their cattle much longer: In Montana, winter temperatures fan to below freezing and the feeding of big herds all winter. is financially haz- ardous sAS# sssa

Violin playing OF extraordinary
breadth and beauty was exhibited
last night in the recital by Tossy
Spivakovsky in Howard University
Chapel. The gifted artist brings a
special talent to swell the list of
outstanding exponents of his in
strument, and much of it exceeds
in individuality that already IA
mlllar as part of other artists en-
doWments. His success was great
last night and the applause showed
an appreciation of the fresh and
superior qualities of his playing.
The many facets of his talent
found full expression in Lalo's
symphonic Espagnole," where he
employed his keen sense of nlance
his easy and brilliant technique and
the deep, sonorous beauty of his
tone to remarkable effect. He has

But in broadness of scope, dis

himself as master of the greater ele-

Democrats AssaiIed
By Reece as Coalition
OF I|Iibera| Groups

Chairman B. Carroll Reece of the
Republican National Committee, to-
day described the Democratic party
as an illiberal coalition of racial
discriminators, Communists and
corrupt city machines.
He predicted sure victory for the
Republicans-"the liberal party in
this Nation"-in November's con-
gressional elections and in elections
for the presidency in 1948.
Addressing luncheon session of
the National Press Club, Mr.. Reece
complained of "a disposition in some
quarters to regard radicalism as
something resembling liberalism"
The liberal he said, opposes 'the
modern totalitarian concept that the
few are entitled to rule the many,
and that the individual has no in
alienable rights which the state may
not destroy or impair
Asserting the "queerly assorted
groups which have combined to
control the Government of the
United States for the past IA years
have no claim to the title of
liberal" Mr. Reece said, in apparent
reference to Southern Democrats,
that lone large element In the
(Democratic) party maintains itself
in power by outrageous racial dis
elimination against millions of
American citizens" "
Another section, he charged ''is
composed of those who draw their
political inspiration from Moscow" "
Mr.. Reece said the full fruition
of their aims would Sovietize the
United States" adding no one
would attempt to argue the
government of Soviet Russia is
liberal"
The third element of the Demo-
cratic party, according to Mr.. Reece,
is composed of the corrupt political
machines. of which the one for
merly operated by Mr.. Pendergast
in Kansas City is an outstanding
example,
