sprinkled about page Z are
items from various points In the
Soviet Union. Most Of them must
be meaningless to the population
Of Moscow. Also on page 2-for 10
these many months since Stain
spoke-rhere will. almost every
day, appear an article about Sta
Inns words on "Marxisn in Lin
guistics. The academicians still
are solemnly discussing that mys-
tic barrage of douhle-talk in
which the master destroyed a
whole school of Soviet linguistics,
and a whole school Of academi-
clans along with it.
On page 3 we start getting into
the items from abroad. The ones
from the satellite states are COM
iplimentary to things Soviet and
Communist. The ones from Tass'
bureaus in the capitalistic ma
tions are a dreary parade Of de-
nunciations of the west, in smoky
phrases that would be difficult to
read even for a Communist. Some
days all of page 3 may be devoted
to printing an entire text of a
speech by some Soviet leader.
West Denounced
Page is devoted to foreign news,
sports, radio and theater pro-
grams. The foreign news from
special correspondents and Tass
Offices is uncomplimentary to the
West. The sports news may
amount to a single paragraph in
the last column of the last page.
It usually is about the triumph of
a Soviet chess, basketball or Soc
Ger team. They never lose. The
radio program is In fine print
and def1es understanding by any
body who has not had a radio
in Moscow. The theater program
also is in fine print. The two,
altogether. take up only a quarter
of column.
There is one fascinating feature
Of page 2 which must not 60 un-
mentioned. 1t has been appear
ing irregularly once or twice a
week since December, 1949.
The headline and Introductory
paragraph are always the same:
"Stream Of Greetings"
"In connection with the 10th
birthday of Comrade j. v. Stain,
greetings with hearty wishes for
good health and long years of life
to Comrade Stain have been sent
by"
Then follows a list Of organiza-
tions who have the honor to have
their greetings to Stain on his
10th birthday recorded in
Pravda.
Stain was 70 on December 81,
1949. Nobody knows how long

ture of the Estonian SSR." All
this Is in lighter-face type and
then in big, bold face: "To the
great leader and teacher Of the
Soviet people, Comrade Joseph
Vissarionovich Stalin."
Dear Joseph Vissariohovich, /"
starts the letter. 1t may go on for
columns, or 1t may be only a dozen
paragraphs or SO. It outlines the
promises of the outfit sending the
letter, whose workers probably
never saw it.
If there is no letter to Stain in
these columns. the space usually
is devoted to some special event.
There is always some sort of
special event, such as the celebra-
ton of Ukranian culture or of in
childrens' day. All
of it is highly laudatory of
Stain, the Communist Party and
the Soviet government.
Depending on the amount of
space needed for the letter to
Stain or whatever, column s
may be used for series of fairly
meaningless items from here and
there-often as not from the
satellite Communist countries.
This takes care of page /. for
Pravda is a six-column newspa-
per. However, at the bottom of
page ! there is often a row of
one-column pictures. These gen.
orally are winners of Stain prizes.
Some days there may be two or
three. Some days there are a half
dozen. They may have won the
prize months before.
Page 2 is devoted mostly to
what Pravda Is pleased to call
party themes" Tucked away on
page q may be the article, from
D special Pravda correspondent,
which inspired the feared article

this or that enterprise. There may
be a special article by a Soviet big
shot at the bottom of the page.

also is found on page 2. under the

1Qe Dill, WHICH mas Deeil TSpOI
Committe lops $50 million of the
Sis million sum which the de-
partment thinks it needs to oper-
ate its international Informa-
tion and Education Program for a
year. This bill. due for considera-
tion on the House floor any day
now, covers operating expenses
only. ..-..
Earlier this spring, the House
took an even tougher view of leg
islation covering States ideas on
capital outlay for expansion of its
Voice OF America radio network.
The department had asked for $97
million to build additional trans
mitters. The House bill granted
it less than a tenth Of the figure
asked-$9.5 million to be exact.
When the Senate took up these
bills, 1t decided to consider them
together. 1t has held hearings on
the whole information program.
A report will be issued shortly.
The department has made for the
Senators-and still is making-an
all-out effort to try to salvage
as much as it can toward q STEP
up Of Americas campaign in the
world war Of ideas. Its plans have
the backing not only Of the Presi-
dent, but also Of the National Sc
curity Council and the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff. for they are con-
sidered to play an important part
in our prosecution Of the cold war.
Test Of Firmness
Special interest attaches to the
issue at this time, moreover, for
how Congress acts on the informa-
ton program appropriation is re-
garded as test of congressional
resistance to the temptation to
relax in the wake Of Korean truce
negotiations.
The argument which the State
Department is putting forward in
urging the need for expansion OF
its education program runs like
this:
Our war of ideas, against the
Soviet Union and its bloc Of satel-
lites, net only may have a great
bearing on whether there will be
shooting war, but also certainly
will influence the psychological
conditions under which any fu-
ture war will be fought.
The Voice Of America" is en-
gagged, in conjunction with the
British Broadcasting Corp, in a
verbal bombardment of Russia
which is making real inroads in
the U. S. S. r. From SO trans
mitters in this country and II
abroad, radio programs go through
out the world in 48 languages. Six
Of these are in the languages of
the Soviet Union itself. Five more
are in the languages Of the Eu-
ropean satellites, and four are in
Chinese dialects. The rest are the
languages of the free world, all Of
which must be regarded as poten-
tial. If not actual, allies of this

That does not mean. however,
that there is no criterion by which
Voice effectiveness can be judged.

Provdo Takes Prize as Worlds Du|Iest Paper
By WnIiom [. Ryon

The Soviet Union, which IN
vented everything. has one inven-
tion nobody will dispute. It has
the worlds dullest newspapers
The dullest of these is Pravda.

Party functionary-say the leader
of the party organization in a
factory. You are charged with
maintaining discipline and pre-
venting mistakes by inept work.
ers. You have been having an
uncomfortable feeling that things
haven't been going we'll.
Every day. seven days a week,
you rush to the newsstand and
stand in line to pay 20 kopeks
(5 cents at Russia's valuation)

have to hurry, because Pravda is
not intended for the masses and
there are just about enough copies
to supply the members of the
party.
Your only concern is page /.
columns one and two, which tells
you the way the wind is blowing
in the approved Stalinist double
talk. Here you will find out just
what the party is thinking about.
You read the two-column head
line anxiously. Better Organiza-
ton of the Work of the Harvest"
it says, and you breathe a sigh
of relief. Not you-not today,
anyway. The next day it's Raise
the Level of Leadership in the
Economy" You are spared again.
The next day it's "Bolshevik
Firmness in Work." This may
be 1t.
Look for the Key Word
You skim quickly over the first
flve or six paragraphs. The ar
ticles all read the same way III
the beginning-flrst a glittering
generality about the topic in
hand; then, invariably. the words
"Comrade Stain teaches" or
some variant thereof, along with
a couple of lines Of quotation
from the master. But you are
looking for key word. 1t usually
comes after Pravda finishes say
ing that things are pretty good
in general.
One day the word is "odnako"-
meaning however" Another day
it may be "regrettably," or ION the
other hand" or just plain but"
This is it.
Then Pravda will center its fire
on the target for the. day. 1t may
be that not enough attention is
being paid to party leadership in
the factory organization. If it is.
you are getting off easy. It may
speak Of serious shortcomings"
Even this is not so bad, for you
can confess it is so, discipline a
section foreman or two and make
thinks look right for a while. But
it may be that Pravda finds that
the way things are being run
amounts to "anti-state, activity
That, brother, is bad. You are on
your way to being bounced and
possibly to a Job in a cooler
climate. 1

MARMALADE.
fFrom Mrs. o. W., HyattspiIle J

fFrom Mrs. o. w. HyGttSDiIle.J
In reply to Mrs. I. L.. Arlington
who requested an explanation Of
what makes the peel hard in or
ange marmalade, I am inclosing
q recipe for citrus marmalade
which I have used a number OF
times. The peel is never hard
and the reason may be in the
process of boiling the rinds three
or four times before proceeding
with the actual making of the
marmalade. Instead of using
twice the quantity of water
add about tl1ree-fourths in order
to cut down the final boiling time.
This makes very good MARINA
lade.
Citrus marmalade: One large
grapefruit, large orange. large
lemon, water, sugar, Is teaspoon
salt. Wash and peel fruit and
cut rind into thin strips. Cover
rind with / quart water and boil
5 minutes. Repeat this process
three times and drain rind. Cut
fruit into thin slices, remove seeds
and grapefruit core. Add pulp
to drained peel and measure. Add
twice the quantity of water and
boil rapidly 40 minutes. Measure
this mixture and add an equal
amount of sugar and the salt.
Stir over high heat until sugar
is dissolved and cook about 25
minutes until marmalade is thick
and clear, stirring frequently toI
prevent burning. Allow to cool
slightly, stir. and pour into hot
Sterilized glasses. Seal immedi-I
ately. Yield 3 pints.

From Mrs. A. S. T., Washington. J
In response to the request oi

homemade cream of tomato soup
my family is very fond of this one
Put one No. 21a can of tomatoes
i'm a rather heavy aluminium pot
Add one medium sized onion, cut
up, and some celery tops if you
have them, otherwise celery seed
will do. a small piece of bay leaf,
and simmer together until onions
are transparent. Add a scant l2
teaspoon of baking soda. This
will froth up. and watch it doesn't
go over. Add a quart of milk and
heat very hot, but do not let
come to a boil. Strain, add a
piece of butter, salt and pepper,
and serve. If I have any cold
boiled rice left over, sometimes I
add it for variety, or maybe cook
a few alphabet noodles (sepa-
rately) and add those. If served
without either of those, spoonful
of unsweetened whipped cream
and a pinch of chopped parsley
puts it practically out of this
world. (You may thicken this
if you prefer).

They look like oily spots. I have
