Their abject self-accusations are

their fear Of the forced-labor

The heavy hand Of bolshevism,
this book clearly shows, reaches
down into every facet Of Soviet
life and has nodded q sycophantic
people without initiative or hope.
Deprived Of self-respect and en-
meshed in q tissue Of lies, Russia's
intellectuals have either become
fanatical upholders Of the party
line like the writer Alexander Fa.

This book is subtitled "The So
Wet System Of Mind Control" but
1t might better have been called
"The Soviet System Of Mind De-
struction." It presents a fright
ening picture of how the Bolshe-
viks brutally force men to deny
their convictions and repudiate
their ideals until the Russian in
tellectual loses the faculty Of crit
ical Judgment and is incapable Of
recognizing objective truth.
DR.. Counts and Mrs. Lodge.
both Of Columbia University's

this indictment Of totalitarian

scholarship from speeches and ar

press. The selections they pub

destroying artistic and scientific
originality and converting litera-
ture, drama. music. biology and,
above all, education into instru-
ments OF aggression abroad and
slavery at home.
The procedure begins with q
ukase from the Communist Par

announced on Thursday that the

with a special stamp. No particu-

Not many people availed them

cure the Baltimore markings are
all the more fortunate on that
account.

showing great works Of art in the

feel strongly that your idea would

avant-garde printmakers. is hav-
ing a one-man show at the Divi-
sion of Graphic Arts, Smithsonian

A native of London (190D, Mr..
Hayter went to Paris in his mid
20s and opened a studio where
he experienced. with graphic proc
esses In a scientific frame Of mind,
intent on discovering the greatest
possible number of changes and
combinations. He obtained re-
suits in the form of new concep-
tions in intaglio printmaking.
He invited other artists who
wished to use his studio equip
ment and participate in its tech
nical discoveries, to come and work
with him. The group became
known by the studio number,
"Atelier IT," and included many
famous artists. among them Pi-
casso. Miro, Kandinsky. Mason,
Ernst and Tanguy. as well as a
large body of students. By work
ing with Mr.. Hayter, they profited
by his technical experience.
In 1910, Mr.. Hayter transferred
