Dulles Says Soyiets
Are Worried About
Control Of Satellites
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 18.-Sec-
retary Of State Dulles said today
Russian rulers have refused to
talk with the West about Euro
pean problems because Of fear
for their control over peoples
behindi the Iron Curtain.
"The Soviet rulers have re-
treated into a diplomatic de-
fensive," the secretary declared
1.-THE free world now has the
Diplomatic and moral initiative u
Mr.. Dulles, in a speech de-
livered to the annual convention
of the CIO. said he hoped the
free nations would sustain that
initiative by being ready to talk
about any concrete point of diff
ference-whether it be in Europe
or in Asia, or whether 1t be in
relation to armament"
Against Violent Revolution.
But he cautioned that a de-
sire to confer with the Russians
should not lead us to confer
where the only probable result
would be an apparent moral ap-
proval of the Kremlin's rule over
the peoples of Is once-inde-
pendent nations"
Mr.. Dulles said 1t is his belief
that the examples of progress
and accomplishment in the free
world would ultimately cause the
collapse of Soviet control over
what he called "the captive world
front" He said it is neither nee
essary nor desirable that we
should try to foment violent
revolution"
1t was in this connection that
Mr.. Dulles claimed clear vic
tory for the United States,
Britain and France in their
diplomatic exchange with Rus
sia, beginning last July, over
their proposal for a Big Four
foreign ministers meeting to
unity Germany and establish
Austria's independence. In a
note November 3 the Russians
in effect rejected the specific
proposal insisting that first there
must be agreement to meet with
the Chinese Communists on
world problems. and that the
Western nations must abandon
their joint defense arrange
mentS.
Soviet Rulers Worried.
The Secretary said that the
real truth is that "the Soviet
rulers are gravely preoccupied
with the mood of the captive
workers" in Eastern Europe. AL
luding to anti-Soviet rioting, he
added:
| 1.-THE events of last June, in
Eastern Germany and East
Berlin, show that the workers
were being exploited to the
breaking point.
The fact that the Soviet
rulers now refuse to meet to
discuss European problems is not
a sign of strength, but Of fear.
"They dare not admit of a
prospect of greater liberty any
/ where behind the Iron Curtain
| lest restiveness increase every
where behind that curtain So
they slammed the door on a
European conference, and started
diversionary talks about our
being buddies with aggressor
China"
Mr.. Dulles likened American
concern with Soviet imperialism
today with the threat he said
Gar Alexander posed to the
world in the first half of the
previous century-a threat which
led the United States to declare
the Monroe Doctrine against
extension of foreign control in
the Western Hemisphere.

Stain left his mark upon
international philately-an in
delible Red scar. Within his
own realm stamp collecting
was forbidden. Yet his postal
system produced hundreds Of
different special issues" to
be sold abroad. These stick
ers invariably were propagan-
da labels, intended not only
to yield profit as exported
merchandise but also to in
huence the thought and the
conduct Of people in the free
nations who perchance might
be deceived by them.
Like many other political
radicals, Stain was a rabid
and incurable romanticist. He
dreamed even more incredible
dreams than his forerunnerS,
Marx and Lenin. His stamps
consequently are monstrous
fairy tales. One of his myths
was that of a close and inti-
mate friendship with the real
architect Of the Bolshevik rev.
olution. Thus, beginning as far
back as 1884, Russian postal
stickerS were put in circula-
tion-outside the Soviet Union
bearing portraits of Lenin
and Stain together.
The Red czar meanwhile
launched the flood of "com-
memoratives" with which his
name always will be connected
diScreditably. They picture vic
tories that never were won,
cities that never were built,
progress that never was
achieved. Scott's Standard
Postage Stamp Catalogue for
1953-the philatelist's ency-
clopedia-lists 40 pages of
such fraudulent junk. Between
the time of Lenin's death in
1924 and Christmas. 1852. the
official record shows that at
least 1888 different theological
scraps of gummed paper"
allegedly to carry mail. were
produced by the post Office
printing presses in Moscow.
None of these could have been
manufactured without Stalin's
personal approval. They add
up to a monumental hoax. but
they are worthy of study
because they reflect the mind.

Camera Angles

There are still a few weeks,
before the weather breaks, to
work with the camera indoors.
One sure way to keep you and
your camera from going to
seed is to try your luck with
the family dog or cat or other
household animal. If you have
had good luck at child photog-
raphy you will very likely be
successful at photographing
animals, for they are not un-
like in their efforts to resist
having their pictures taken.
However, if you treat the
animal you are about to snap
a picture of with firmness, yet
with patience and kindness,
you will have little trouble max
ing a series of shots to register
everything from pathos to
comedy. Pet photography i3
fast work, no doubt about that,
for an animal will not hold
still for more than a second at
q time but it makes for in
tereSting pictures that add
spice to the family album or
provide entries for The Stars
annual photography contest,
due to start in a few weeks.
In animal photography
there are three major goals
to strive for: Expression, def
milton and sharpness. If your
picture has all three it will be
good. Let any one of these
componentS be missing and
you will have just another fair
to-medium shot. First, let's
reach an understanding on
the point of expression. AMI
mails do have facial express
sions which are very revealing.
Anger, perhaps the most OBJ
vious, is expressed with a
snarl, sadness with a droop of
the ears, and I will argue with
any one who says a dog doesn't
smile when happy.
I used to have an old rabbit
hound named Ducktooth.
Whenever I missed a shot at
a rabbit he was running,
Ducktooth would always pause
long enough to give me a re-
proachful look, but let me make
a direct hit and Ducktooth
would grin from ear to ear.
But let's get back to photog-
raphy.
Watch the Subject
1t should go without saying
that sharpness is important to
any picture, but the photog-
rapher who is intent on getting
a good expression from his pet
is apt to overlook some move
ment that has taken the sub
ject slightly out of sharp focus.
For this reason alone it is
desirable to have an assistant
who can keep an eye on the
subject to prevent this. The
assistant will also come in
handy to change lights, hand
you food and toys and to pre-
vent the subject from running
away altogether.
To lessen the chance of get
ting a fuzzy, out-of-focuS pic
ture, it is suggested that the
animal be placed on a table
Ca card table will do nicely)
and held in position by your
helper while you focus for a
sharp image. If plenty of light
is available stop the lens down
as far as possible and even if
the subject moves slightly
from its original plane the
negative will be sharp.
Definition is equally impor-
tant for it is very important
that the hair or fur of the
animal be critically defined.
To keep the animals coat from
photographing as a light or
dark mass, the lighting should
be from the side or back. This
will give enough shadow to
bring out the texture of fur
or hair. A fiat lighting is
just as undesirable in pet
