free Soviet citizen to his job is
one element of an unrelaxine
economic stranglehold on the
masses. Equally important is the
total state control of the produc-
ton of food and consumer goods
a control constantly used tc
coerce and cajole, reward and

Communist party line
Worker Bound to Job.
Under this Soviet system the
worker is bound to his job "as
fast as ever a galley slave was
chained to his oar" Under the
eye of the MVD vast forced labor
groups operate in important state
enterprises. Use of female labor
is on scale unparalleled in any
other modern economy. and the
women have equality in the
toughest of manual labor.
The trade unions have nothing
in common with trade unionism
as the West knows it. Provisions
supposedly safeguarding workers,
Mr.. Stevens says, have about as
much meaning and application as
the civil liberties guaranteed in
the Soviet constitution" The
strike weapon is utterly outlawed,
and the real purpose of the trade
union is to aid the government
in getting as much labor as hu-
manly possible out of Soviet
workers.

people have become the property

BY the Associofed P:ress

NEW YORK, Feb. II. - In
Russia today there are "legions OF
thinking, intelligent people who
chafe under the omnipotent police
state and long with their whole
beings for freedom" reports a
trained American observer who
recently left the Soviet Union.
In coming years, the strongest
most determined foes of the police
state are likely to develop East OF
the iron curtain, where not even
forcible indoctrination can neu-
traliZe the lessons of immediate
knowledge and experience" writes
Edmund Stevens, who has just
completed a three-year assign
ment as Moscow correspondent of
the Christian Science Monitor.
From his observations in the
Soviet capital, Mr.. Stevens warns:
1T is essential that the West
learn to distinguish between the
police state and the Soviet people,
for if the former are implacable
foes, the latter, unless stupidity
antagonized, are potential friends
and allies, and it is they who
eventually will decide their coun-
try's destiny"
Few Belong to Communist Party.
Only a relatively small number
of Russians are members of the
Communist party, which rules
with iron discipline. From among
the masses, says Mr.. Stevens:
thousands on thousands
of people in all walks of life have
at some time sustained some deep
personal hurt from the police
regime. Each new purge or 'ideo-
logical campaign adds new con-
tingents of malcontents.
while all open criticism of the
regime is effectively prevented
and the ears and eyes of the MVD
(secret police are omnipresent.
such is human nature that every
individual has at least one person
he fully trusts, and thus an end
less chain extends, even though it
lacks organized form"
People Divided Into Groups.
Mr.. Stevens divides today's
Russians into three groups: Those
about Is or under, youngsters who
grew up under Stain and are
susceptible to indoctrination;
those between 25 and 35, who he
says show gradual Illustration in
the police state, and those over 35,
whose disillusionment breeds
either cynical resignation or in
tense inner rebellion.
The cynics are among the party
staff, the majority of the citi-
zenry are apathetic, "but many
at the least sign of hope would
gravitate toward the third (re-
bellion)." the writer reports.
There are two kinds of Soviet
citizen. The elite are the select
group of party members, risen
from 100000 after the purge of
the thirties to more than 5000, 900
now, with the recruitment of
youngsters WHO grew up under

message to the Nation had been
pretty well anticipated; and, in
fact, the President did not make
any announcement that had not
already been pretty we'll discussed.
Traders chose to ignore one
phrase of the message which nor

interest. That was the Presidents

Regarded favorably was the fact
that the President promised no
immediate blanket controls, but
rather a step-by step process in

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-"Wal

furious advance today.
1t was the markets first re-
sponse to President Truman's

however, which did not have q
liberal supply of gains.
The overall advance was the
sharpest since another spectacu-
lar rise in May 1948 although il
has been matched a couple oil
times since then.
Ticker Drops Behind.
Twice during the day orders
to buy flooded into the exchange
so rapidly that the ticker tape
dropped behind in it's usual

the trading floor.

shares. largest for any two-hour

hefty amount of business even for
a full day. Sales a week ago
totaled 1.240,OO0.
One broker spoke of panic
buying. a term usually used to
describe frantic selling. His firm,
he said. handled orders from all
parts of the country. People
seemed willing to pay almost any
thing to get the stocks they
wanted.
The net result of the days ac-
tivities was an increase of roughly

D. {. Stores Expect
End 10 Rail Strike
To Boost Sales RATE
By Nelson M. Shepard

Washington's retail district Is

week before Christmas buying
rush now that the Postoffice is for
Warding parcel post packages and
relief from the strike imposed en-
barge on express shipments is
promised for tomorrow.
With both mail and express
shipments tied up by the strike
of railroad yardmen, many Gus
toners restrained buying impulses
until assured purchases for out
of-town destinations could be de-
livered by Christmas. A general
pickup in the retail business would
be welcome to merchants who, UP
to now, report sales slightly be-
hind the level of comparable Pc
RODS in 1949.
While the dollar volume of sales
in department stores of the Fifth
Federal Reserve District jumped
81 per cent for the week ended
December 8 over the previous week,
unit sales were 2 per cent below
the same week last year. That
held true in most cities.
In Washington department
store sales jumped % per cent in
the week ended December 9 COM
pared with the previous week.
However, the sales were per cent
behind the comparable period Of
