material that appears in Soviet publications be
 sent out Correspondents do not know what has been out or how much their stories have been doctored until after the has been transmitted They are permitted send instruction cables their offices but sometimes these messages are stopped
 Occasionally the literal -mndedness of the censors
 leads to ridiculous deetions. One correspondent tells of writing story generally improving economic conditions in which he stated that Muscovites could be wearing well-shned shoes The censors immediately thought of 'shned" in the connotation of shiny trousers. What emerged from their blue pencling the statement that some Musovites could be wearing shoes
 Sometimes distortions are more serious. A news paperman writing the shabby appearance of cloth ing in Moscow remarked that since styles had not Russian capital like fashion center The cen- sor cut out everything except that Moscow was fashion center. Even football scores have become secret information, and all requests for them are answered with the futile instruction: Write us letter. On the rare occasions that censorship does loosen. usually at the time of diplomatic meet ing the suspicion is that it relaxed simply to allow the Soviet government to learn the reaction of Vest ern diplomats
 Obviously. under such conditions, no one can talk of knowing what is going on inside Russia East and West then the premium is on exploiting every lever to raise the curtain information Mean while it is essential remember that in every news story date-lined Moscow, the outside world learns only what the Kremlin wants it to learn.

A HERMIT NATION

Probably only news correspondent who has lived fin Moscow can appreciate fully the extent to which the Kremlin has insulated the outside world from knowledge about contemporary Russia. The growing Soviet fear of foreigners is about the only thing that is not secret It has long been the policy of the Russian government to disguise it's production sta- tistics for example in meaningless percentages that prevent comparison Even diplomatic officials have been severely circumscribed Early this year an of ficial secrets act limited contacts of foreign press representatives to the information section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thus the only news sources correspondents able to maintain are of- ficial handouts personnel of other embassies in Mos cow and Russian newspapers and magazines.
 What is not so generally known is the difficulties experienced by correspondents in reporting the little information they can obtain. Every item dispatched to the West censored and the censorship standards are rigorous and unimaginative. Not all the

TURKEY AT WHITE HOUSE

Turkey raising has become big business since President Truman was farm boy in Missouri.
 When Graydon McCulley and Chester Housh of the National Tur- key Federation presented Truman with two birds for his Christmas dinner, weighing 40 and 14 pounds, McCulley remarked that Housh raises from 50,0O0 to 100000 turkeys every year on his Elkton, Virginia, farm.
 That's remarkable to an old farmland like myself" observed the President. When I was a boy in Missouri, l figured l was doing rretty well il I raised five turkeys q year"
 Well, we get a lot of coopera- ton from the Department of Agri- culture now that you didn't get then, MT. President said Housh, modestly. The experimentation the Department has been conduct ing at Beltsville, Maryland, not only has helped us raise bigger and better turkeys, but more of them"
 Note-The White House usually gets half dozen or more gift turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas Mrs. Truman uses sey- eral of them for her family and all the White House staff, then sends the surplus birds to hospitals and charitable institutions.

logg met all day Hughes was an
 eX-Secretary of State, ex-Presi- dential candidate--one of the big gest men in the nation. So was Kellogg. The fact that they drop ped everything, concentrated all their time on peace, made a pro- found impression in Latin Ameri- Ca
 ?. When war threatened between
 Russia and China in Manchuria in
 1880, Secretary of State Stimson staged meeting of every ambassa-
 dor and minister at the White
 House He used not only the force Of his own dynamic personality but also the prestige of the White House to demand that the two na- tions cease belligerent moves. He succeeded.
 8 When various warlike moves were made between Peru, Colom- bia, Venezuela and Central Amer ASoli SOdlitilCS, OilOtI SSCI OdIY Ol State Sumner Welles, a man with great prestige throughout Latin America, acted in person. Peace was too precious. He did not leave matters to subordinates.
 Yet when the vital test of the Pan American Defense Pact came up this week, Secretary of State Marshall issued no statement from his sick bed, President Truman kept silent, and Acting Secretary Lovett was nowhere to be found. A No. 3 man without even the rank of assistant secretary repre- sented the great and powerful USA.
 No wonder the meeting adjourn ed with no real result. No wonder Latin America got the impression that the U. s. wasn't much inter- ested in the Defense Pact.

boy of twenty is taken from his nome through no fault of his, anc put on transport, and sails up to Okinawa and then is told by his commander to take that island though he may not want to go al all and though he knows his chan ces of coming out alive are almost nil-then I say that the war lords who start such war must be punished
 Tt was no fault of millions of American boys that they had to leave their homes. It was the fault of a little group of :men sitting safely in Tokyo who decreed that Japan was to rule the Pacific. And when we make an example of them concluded Keenan, there will be less chance of war in the future"
 Note Secretary of the Army Royall defended the Nazi sabot CUTS in court when they were tried as spies during the war. He has also done his best to discourage the war-crimes trials at Nuremburg However, this is the first time Royall put himself on record so bluntly regarding policy which has been officially adopted by the U. s. Government.

DARING BOYS ARE
 KILLED IN RUINS,
 BERLIN WARNING

BERLIN -lPl- Western Berlin's newpsapers are waging one of the worlds strangest safety crusades- designed to stop daredevil children from digging for scrap materials in bomb ruins to earn money.
 Under the slogan Death Lurks in the Ruins, the campaign is prompted hy an alarming increase in the accident toll involving young sters killed or maimed under col lapsing walls in the city's acres of ruined buildings.
 Hardly day passes but some German is a victim of such an ac- cident, especially as winds and wet weather promote the collapse of weakened masonry. A further hazard is unexploded bombs and shells still buried in the rubble.
 The newspaper "Sozial Demo- krat,' leading the safety cam paign, has demanded criminal pro- secution of adults who hire chil- dren to go picking scrap metals end wood out of ruins. The news paper also demanded action against parents who permit their children to engage in this business and of scrap metal dealers who buy from children.
 Some adventurous kids are said to make neat earnings in their scrap hunting. But they have to be daring-or just foolish. Some are seen climbing up pipes to reach third and fourth story bal comics or along lodges to pry out surviving window frames They often chamber where experienced salvage crews, equipped with ropes and safety belts. hesitate to op- crate.
 Their chief booty is old plunb- ing fixtures and cable and wiring

US. RIDDLES AWAY PEACE

Last Sunday a Latin American President who had disbanded his army and announced to the world that his colonels would now be- come school teachers, appealed to the Pan American Union for aid.
 His country, Costa Rica, had just signed the Pan American Mu- tual Defense Pact. history -mak- ing document pledging all Pan American nations to come to each others help-a pact rightfully ex- pected to make the Western Hemi- sphere a peaceful model in con- trast with chaotic war-torn Eu- rope.
 And having trusted this pact, and disbanded his Army, President Figueres of Costa Rica appealed to the Pan American Union
 For six hours Sunday, the Onion debated this emergency call. They discussed. argued. orated This is not unusual. Pan American meet ings always lean heavily on form sics, and it always takes strong leadership from the United States on consultation with Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and a few oth- CTS to harness the oratory and ar rive at definite conclusions.
