There's an epidemic Of illness
among what is being referred to
politely as the Mats hitters. They
are affiicted with ailing averages
and unless they display marked
Improvement rapidly Washingtons
pitchers are likely to pursue them
with scalpels designed to end their
agony.
In their first FIVE games this sea-
son, the Mats have received sur
prisingly excellent pitching which
was supported only once. They
currently own d four game losing

Athletics last night at Grifith
Stadium. ..... 1
Mickey Haefner is the latest VIC

He checked the AS on four hits for
eight innings and Dick Welteroth
escaped with q one-hit effort in
an inning Of relief. but meanwhile
Washington fashioned only four
hits OF Carl Scheib and smashed
into four double plays.
The Mats were to carry q string
of II consecutive scoreless innings
into action in a game with the AS
today. Their only run In the last
80 innings consisted of Buddy
Lewis homer against the New
York Yankees.
After Coan, No6ody Hits.
The Mats have been getting
superb pitching. Their hurlers
have allowed only IL runs In i've
games, distributing them on a
2-3-3-2-2 basis. but Washington's
hitters are guilty of nonsupport.
The Mats have produced six runs.
three of which were delivered in
Ray Scarborough's opening day

A quick glance at the batting
averages reflects the Mats misery.
Gil Coan is hitting .38l in the
leadoff spot. but thereafter WASH

An AMERICAN soldier in Germany salvaged
IA from the rubble that had been Gestapo
headquarters the water-soaked documents
that form the basis for this narrative.
They are from the files of Russias dread
secret police, the old GPU - subsequently re-
christened the NKVD and finally the MVD-
and we're captured when the Germans in
vaded Russia.
THIS WEEK considers these documents to
be of real importance. To be sure, they be-
tray no international secrets, will cause no
repercussions in diplomatic circles. They
have nothing to do with the atomic bomb.
The oPU Exposes Itself
NEVERTHELESS, they are important for the
occasional - and somewhat terrifying -
glimpses they give us into Russia's most
closely guarded secret: what life is like in the
Soviet Union.
These papers constitute the opus dossier,
or case record, on Soviet citizen under in
vestigation. His name is Maxim Timofeevich
Ustinoff. He is not person of any particular
consequence. He is only man.
But, in the process of investigating Ustinof.
the GPU sometimes exposes itself. We learn
bit about the methods of the super-police in
police state. Light is thrown into one of the
darker recesses of Soviet life-t the treatment
Evening star., 1949-03-06

Perhaps his coldness and reserve are but a
protective mask. Does he know that he is
being shadowed?
What does he look like? There is photo
graph of him attached to the dossier but time
and the elements have defaced the upper half.
What we see - the mouth the chin - indi-
Gates a not unhandsome man. One may.
imagine high cheekbones and eyes that are
pale blue and expressionless. A cultivated
blankness perhaps.
ConmAndad H1inelayex
ON THE surface, his record is good one
He was child of 10 when the Revolution
broke out, joined the Young Communist
League at an early age, was recommended by
comrades to the Frunze Naval Academy
commanded minelayer in the Finnish War
His conduct in that campaign earned him
the Order of the Red Star
Howdid this patriotic, careful man come to

of the so-called wealthy peasants. or kulaks.
As for Ustinoff, the record, cut short by the
war, leaves him hanging in mid-air. We can
only guess at his ultimate fate.
But the net is being drawn tight around
him. Before the curtain falls, we are to hear
cry of anguish from the hunted man.
Maxim Ustinof was 81 years old when he
first attracted the attention of the GPU. If
he is still alive he will be Al years old. He is
naval officer, a widower. has one child, girl.
One can reconstruct from the dossier some
thing of Ustinof himself He leads quiet,
almost solitary life, enjoys an occasional
drink Of vodka, is fond Of books and
music. He Is we'll Informed politically
a compromising fact.
"A competent officer" observes the GPU,
attentive to the ships needs but less con-
cerned with the personal needs of the men.
He is reserved and cautious"
Ustinof has some reason to be careful.
Evening star., 1949-03-06

incur the suspicion of the GPU? Why the
stubborn inquiry 1t lasted about l3 years.
The answer is simple: Ustinoff's father was
kulak.
What is kulak? A wealthy peasant -
wealthy, that is, by Soviet definition. In 1926
Stain issued his famous edict: ''Enrich
yourselves" Some of the peasants in the
Ukraine and elsewhere may have taken
him literally.
They regretted it in 1928. Orders came
from the Kremlin to liquidate the kulak class.
Some perhaps were liquidated who were not
even kulaks. There is some debate as to
whether two or six million peasants died OF
famine in the course of the war against them
There is some debate over how many hum
dreds of thousands we're shipped off to Siberia
There is no doubt at all as to what hap
pened to Ustinoff's father. He was. in the
words of the dossier, ''repressed.'
