The thing 70 worry about Is no: who ~ Y sig e IL, q

The problem of peace with Russia y mucn naro ..,-
because
proup Of military men at the head o. tne Sovee
government have made 1t quite clear tnt tney con-
want their people to know US. they want % . sn
soviet-U s. friendship off and on like spiect Inc
last thing they want is having the wishes Of several
million people regulate the flow
They want to send ell sorts OF Sueet agents over

here secretly-but they don't want even rev Amer
lean newspapermen, or an American orchestra over
there without confirming them TO MOSCOW ana WIN
out shadowing them every minute
This Is not the kind Of reciprocity that makes

be tourh with Stain 1t will take lot Of courage TO
he toueh because no one In this country likes TO
think about the consequences II Stain thinks we
are bluffine But in my opinion We must nave take-
t-or.leaye-it showdown, and tell Stain that either
we must have complete freedom to make irienoS
between the Russian and American people--or else
And this can't be peanut friendship. It's got 70

churchmen and atheists the tuning IN OF FaOio
broadcasts the showing Of motion pictures
Personally, would trade all the secrets OF tne
atom bomb for the ard-and-fast right TO show the
russian people that there is trouble between our
Two countries except a few narrow-minded military
men at the top -,
well didn't mean to preach sermon Please
forpiye me I have been terribly worried ABOUT tne
