Startled Britons in pubs, movies and
night clubs heard a series OF three
minute talks-not sermons-as Lon
don clergymen embarked on a Chris
tan Commando campaign, an inter-
denominational movement to preach
the gospel where it seldom is heard.
Lets see your hands," said one
skeptic.
One of the clergymen held out both
hands.
"Soft," snorted the man at the bar.
Fat lot of work you've ever done.
Why don't they send working men
to talk to us?"
There are different ways of work
ing, friend" the minister said. "You
wouldn't expect a doctors hand to be
calloused, would you? doubt if Jesus
hands were hard for many months
after he gave up carpentry for the
ministry"
He talked for about three minutes
on the Christian way of life and two
other ministers said a word. Every
body listened, even the barmaids.

DR.. Ira M. Altshuler, in charge of

former concert pianist and teacher,
told this years federation convention,
again held in Detroit, that "X" had

Today he does.
"He now chooses the music he
wants instead of waiting to be told
what to play.
He has very few relapses now"
said DR.. Altshuler. "He is markedly
happier and he converses more and
more.

Film Flim-noms

Office politics and personal public
ity, it seems, may play as important
a role in communism as they do else
where.
Semyon P. ~1vanov, described as the
inventor of three-dimensional movies,
was removed as scientific chief of the
special studio in which he perfected
the invention. The Communist Party
newspaper, Prada, criticized Movie
Minister 1. Bolshakov for the transfer.
The film Robinson Crusoe," made
with Ivanov's three-dimensional tech
nique, now is attracting: thousands to
Moscow's Little Theater. Lines form
early every day in front of the box
office.
Prada said the movie ministry had
disregarded several Ivanov recon-
nendations for improving Robinson
Crusoe" while it was in production
and hadn't given him materials.
The newspaper said Bolshakov
hadn't taken Ivanov's work seriously,
had tried to picture him as a faker
and publicity seeker. Finally Ivanov
was pulled off his job with the excuse
that he was being freed from adj
m~inistrative duties (".by the way, he
didn't have any" Prada put in) and
being given greater scope for improv-
ing his method ("what touching solicit
tude!" Prada exclaimed.)
"That's how the cinema industry
freed itself of the worrisome inventor
whose name will 60 down. in the his
