Russia Asked 10 Drop
Circulation Restriction
|0n Magazine Amerika
sY the Associeied Press

The State Department said yes
Iterday it is pressing Moscow tC
live up to it's "clear obligation" to
permit wider distribution in Rus
sia of the magazine Amerika.
This is the handsomely illus
Itrated. slick paper magazine the
State Department prints in the
Russian language to give Soviet
readers a picture of American life
Moscow censors it in advance to
keep out obvious capitalist prop
Uganda.
Assistant Secretary of State
Edward w. Barrett told reporters
that Russia now has started to at
tack the publication, and has cut
the agreed $4,000 monthly circula-
ton in half with the explanation
that news stand sales have
dropped"
Dispute Began Year Ago.
MIR. Barrett described the Rus
sian tactic as a move to strangle
the magazine entirely, and said
vigorous efforts are being made
Through the embassy in Moscow
ito put the agreement back in
force.
Meantime, the Russian Embassy
in Washington is permitted tc
circulate without restriction the
illustrated Soviet Information
Bulletin. Mr.. Barrett said thai
IF we possibly can we want tt
avoid" any retaliatory restraint on
the Soviet publication, in accord
ance with the American policy o1
fostering the exchange of infor-
nation.
The dispute over Amerika
started more than a year ago but
took a new turn when Moscow's
Pravda and the Literary Gazette
turned their guns on an article in
the April issue. This article, stud
tded with charts. based on United
States Government statistics, re-
ported that the average standard
of living in this country has risen
to 40 per cent since the start of
World War II. It contended also
that the prosperity was more
evenly distributed than ever be-
fore.
Article Now Ridiculed.
There was no direct comparison
with Soviet conditions and Rus
sian censors passed the article,
but official Communist publica-
tions tried to blast it with ridicule
as soon as it appeared in the
Moscow newstands.
Pravda declared that the whole
article was lie and that actually
almost three-fourths of the pop
ulation of the United States con-
stitute INDECENT masses who are
either starving or under the
threat Of starvation"
In a similar vein the Literary
Gazette declared that seventy
per cent of all Americans are de-
prived Of minimum living stand
ards" and termed the Amerika
article IAN objectionable lie."
Magazine Once Paved Way.
State Department officials sus-
pect that what made it painful
to Moscow was a chart which
showed what an average" Amer
lean factory worker could buy
with his wages.
The agreement to permit the
circulation Of $4,000 copies of
Amerika dates back to 1946. The
used to pay its way
from news stand sales in Russia.
1t has been running in the red
for the last year, since Moscow
changed the value of the ruble
and the magazine price was cut
from 10 to five rubles a copy. That
figures out. on the official rate, at
SIPS a copy which officials said
is about the cost Of the upper
level Of popular magazines in
Russia.

North Council Urges
New Term for Hall

The North Washington Council
last night paid tribute to Woolsey
w. Hall, colored member of the
Board of Education. by recon-
mending that he not be replaced
when his term expires next month.
The council urged. however,
that the two white members of
the board whose terms expire at
the same time be replaced by two
other white persons. They are c.
Melvin Sharpe, board president,
and Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith.
AS replacements for Mr.. Sharpe
and Mrs. Smith, the council
recommended Clifford H. Newell,
delegate to the council from the
Arkansas Avenue Citizens As
sociation, and SMrs. Ernest w.
Howard, first vice president of the
council and president of the Co.
lumbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton.
John H. Connaughton, council
president. said Mr.. Hall is doing
"as good a job as anyone could
do on the board" Several other
members of the council voiced
similar opinions.
The District Court judges make
appointments to the board. The
appointees will take Office July /.
In another action, the council
commended Brig. Gen. Gordon
Young. retiring District Engineer
Commissioner. for his service to
Washington during his term. Gen.
Young is leaving his position
around the end of this month for
reasons of health.
Mr.. Connaughton conducted
the meeting in the No. 6 Police
Precinct building, Nicholson street

he should have stuck to it. He
quit then with a convincing knock
out victory over the man who pre-
viously had lost a disputed de-
cision to him.
Ezzard Charles beat him later,
he made bad showings against sew
eral other lesser fighters and then
Rocky Marciano knocked him out
a couple of weeks ago for what
should have been the clincher.
Nanny Seamon makes a point
Of the fact that the Marciano
knockout was only the second one
suffered by Louis in his entire
career That's a good point as far
as it goes. However, Louis has
been belated around at odd times,
and he is becoming easier to hit
all the time.
If all this fails to answer Sea-
mons complaint against Joe's
well-wishers, then let Joe keep
on fighting. It doesn't really
mean anything one way orthe other

manently.
Mamie emphasizes his attitude
about this situation by asking:
"What is he, an invalid?"
The reply to both questions
why so many people want Louis
to quit and whether he is an in
valid-can be made in one brief
line.
People want him to quit before
he becomes an invalid.
The people who suggest or in
sist he quit are those who thrilled
to watch him when he had it. They
deplore what they see now and
feel some misgivings over what
might happen. In barring Louis
from future matches within it's
Jurisdiction the Illinois Athletic
Commission did only what other
commissions should do.
Seamon, as quoted by Ray Grody
in the Milwaukee Sentinel, is put
out by that action and SO is Louis.
The former champion was hurt,
says Seamon, because he was bar
red without asking for a license.
Seamon is closer to Louis than
this department has ever been, and
certainly should know more about
fighting and about training fight
ers than most Of the people who so
persistently seek to advise Louis
including guess which writer.
However, Louis is not the or
binary fighter, trudging from ar
ena to arena in quest Of coffee and
cakes. He has prestige based on
his ring accomplishments and per-
sonal department that sets him a
part from his contemporaries.
His need of money to pay back
income taxes supposedly is forcing
him to delay his retirement, but
at last reports he sill has not been
able to, figure his way out of the
financial tangle, and the longer
he fights the more involved his
situation becomes.
Finances undoubtedly have some
thing to do with his continuing
in the ring, but he probably is
motivated in part at least by an
old celebrity's love for the spot
light and for whatever easy pick
ings there may be.
For II years he has known the
thrills and the acclaim that go
with being a top flight fighter and
heavyweight champion. To be con-
WINGED now that he is a second
rater, maybe even a third-rater,
may require him to be belted out
some more.
That is what his well-wishers
fear, that he will persist in MAX
ing comebacks until he will be in
jured.

l have seen the nurses role in
the health team change, in fact. 1t
lis undergoing considerable change
now. Formerly, we felt our re-
sponsibility was to meet the physi-
cal needs of patients. Today, We
know the physical needs are still
important, but we know, too, that
the psychological and sociological
factors may be a basis for illness
or may delay recovery. Today the
nurse finds great satisfaction IN
her role as a teacher-to young.
ito old, to the new mother. We
teach as we work with patients.
We think in terms of returning the
patient to the home as soon as
possible and we become familiar
with all the agencies and organi-
Izations that can be helpful.
In psychiatric nursing, the nurse
deals with patients who are emo
Itionally sick. In order to enjoy
Ipsychiatric nursing, a nurse must
understand basic psychological
and human needs. The nurse must
understand that the behavior of a
mentally i'll patient is a symptom
Iof his illness and that he has a.
need for such behavior. When a
complete history is obtained, it is
understandable why patient has
such behavior patterns. The scar
on the patients personality may
be very deep, but with the help
and understanding of the mem
bers of the psychiatric team, he
may be able to make a complete
recovery.
Many and varied are the salts
factions in nursing. One of the
most thrilling experiences for a
nurse is her assignment in the
delivery room where she assists
