year, but he may not ask it. He
lives in relative luxury, with an
income that may total $3.50 a
month. He can buy whatever
he needs. His cell is an apart
ment. His girl friend visits him
often.
More important, there have
been many changes on the out
side. Will he be welcomed into
the web of political intrigue?
Stalin-the man who expelled
TrotSky and bounded him across
two continents-is dead. Beria,
who headed his dread secret
police, is out of power. The
slayer claims he bludgeoned
Trotsky for personal reasons, but
his statements never quieted the
talk that this was a political kill
ing.
May Face Death.
TrotSky's widow said recently
he is sure to be murdered if he
leaves prison, to keep him from
talking - something he has
shown no inclination to do in
confinement.
If he asks for parole-as he
can after December 20-he prob
ably will get it. His record had
been one of perfect behavior.
Is the present Russian govern
ment interested in the man who
settled Stalin's quarrel with
Trotsky? How much help could
his mother-once close friend
of Beria-give him now?
On the answers may hang an
other life. On the other hand,
the mystery may never be
solved.
Kremlin files of the secret
police might-or might not
throw some light on it, in the
unlikely event of their being
opened. Trotsky himself blamed
Stain and the secret police for
the fatal attack, but there was
never any concrete confirma-
ton.
The killer Swore he was not
acting for the GPU (Russian
secret police)
He has been identified as five
different men. He may be
Frank Jacson of Canada, Jacques
Mornard of Belgium, Salvador
Torkoff of Russia or Jacques
Vandendreschd of Iran. Many
Spaniards here know him as
Ramon del Rio Mercader of
Catalonia, Spain.
Whoever he is, his jail SEN
tence will be up in 1860. He is
eligible for parole this year by
serving two-thirds of his SEN
tence. But being a foreigner
complicates his situation.
May Escape Deportation.
Mornard-that is his name in
the national penitentiary-nor-
mally would be deported after
completing his sentence. But if
he is paroled, the court might
bar immigration authorities from
deporting him.
Whenever he gets out, he will
find a vastly changed world.
When he killed Trotsky, Russia
was ready to cooperate with
anybody. even Hitler. She was
generally respectful of public
opinion in other countries.
Now he would find Russia
victorious in World War II and
allied with Red China. She has
swallowed Eastern Europe and
is trying to digest Germany. She
pays lip service to the United Ma
tions, sometimes, but does not
cooperate with the West.
If Mornard is Mercader, the
IdII OF befla SnOuld have in
terested him. Carload Mercader,
mother of Ramon and a Com
muniSt Stalwart, was a protege
OF Beria. At the time of the
TrotSky killing, she was in Mos
COW. which may or may not be
significant. Since the war she
has left Russia and is now in
Paris, living with a daughter
married to a leading French
Communist.
TrotSky was, with Lenin, the
leading spirit in the Russian
revolution, He improvised the
armies which turned back the
counterrevolutionary threat.

began to grab for power. Trotsky

Red Propaganda Sales in U.S..

Leading dealers in foreign
Communist propaganda have
collected about $234 million for
their wares from Americans in
the past five years, a Justice De-

The report was signed by At

gives for the first time the sums
received by American individuals
and organizations listed with the
Justice Department under the
foreign Agents Registration Act.
Biggest Garner among the
Communist representatives is the
Four Continent Book Corp,
which has received $2,339,917 in
the years 1948-52. The Manhat-

348,789 eligible voters are ex-

less than the 61.9 per cent which
kept Mr.. de Gasperi in Office in

Striking gains are predicted
for the far right, particularly
the monarchists, who polled only
2.8 per cent of the vote in 1948.
The fast-growing fascist Italian

never seen him, and hesitate to
enter into an engagement on such
short acquaintance, though I have
come to think highly of him
through his letters. Could a
marriage like this be successful?
MILDRED.
ANSWER: Although cor
respondence alone is a frail basis
for marriage. it has been known
to result in happiness. However,
I would urge that you postpone
a formal engagement until the
boy comes home and you have
some opportunity to become ac-
quainted in a more conventional
way. You'll probably find that
the mutual interests foStered by

A petite Californian who has
seen Army service as a technician
and a physical therapist was
sworn in as the first woman doc
tor in the regular Army this
week.
In Washington briefly for the
swearing in, 1st 1t. Fac M. Adams
will report to Walter Reed for
residence in obstetrics and
gynecology on July /, the first
woman to be given a residency
at an Army hospital. This educa-
tional privilege is extended only
to Regular Army medical
officers.
One of the Army's 20
women reserve medical officers
now on active duty around the
world. 1t. Adams has been sta
toned at Camp Crowder, Mo-,
since July 6, 1852, her first
Medical Corps assignment. She
is the first woman medical
officer integrated into the Regu-
lar Army under legislation passed
last June permitting women doc
tors to become Regular Army
careeriSts.
The quiet young doctor hasn't
felt any prejudice against her
in the Medical Corps because she
is woman, and doesn't antici-
pate any here.
There's so much to do, the
men are too glad to have help.
There's no time to consider
whether the doctor working with
them Is a man or a woman" she
remarked. The Army, as a mat
ter of fact. urged that the bill be
passed. II found that to be true
with the GIs, too. They're in
terested in receiving the care
they need. They don't question
who's giving it to them"
Keenly interested in medicine
from her childhood when her all
ing mother made many trips to
the hospital, 1t. Adams took q
pre-medical course at the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley,
graduating in 1910. She helped
to pay her expenses by doing
everything from waiting on
tables to reception work in the
women's faculty club" Further
schooling was impossible for lack
Of funds. In 1943, she decided
ito do something to help out in
the war;" so she enlisted in the
WAC and was sent to Aberdeen
as a technician in the Ballistics
Research Laboratory.
In October of the following
year, 1t. Adams began training
in a new Metaphysical therapy,
making an excellent record at
Lawson General Hospital, in At
lanta, where she was COM
missioned a second lieutenant in
June of 1945.
Aided Amputees
II liked my work there with
amputees very much" she said
quietly. "T'he men were so un-
complaining, so eager to help
themselves"
Six months later she left for
OkinaWa, where she served for
II months in a station hospital.
Physical therapy was inter-
esting-but the determined young
woman still wanted to be DR..
Adams.
Medicine has fascination"
she said. Once started, she
wanted to see it through. So
after her discharge in July, 1947,

doctor in RequIur Army

she entered the Women'S Medical
College of Pennsylvania. in Phila-
delphia. under the CT bill. Five
years later, she had achieved her
goal.
After weighing private prac-
tice against an Army career, 1t.
Adams chose the Army.
Il had enjoyed my assign
ments," she explained, "and the
people I met. I had kept up my
active reserve status while going
to medical school, too, attending
weekly meetings, and enjoyed my
contact with the unit"
But the fact that she might
become an officer in the Regular
Army, with a chance for a resi-
dency and specialization, de-
cided her.
II think the Army affords a
good opportunity for specialized
training and research" 1t.
Adams said. Another of it's at
fractions is a chance to see
other parts of the world. One
Of my pet ambitions is to go to
Paris" she confessed.
Fond Of Photography
With what little time she has
for hobbies. 1t. Adams concen-
trates on photography-"s strictly
as an amateur"-and golf, in
which she is a beginner.
She became interested in
photography on Okinawa.
There were so many beautiful
flowers there, coral beaches and
picturesque native huts." She
learned developing on the island,
too. Since then, she has "grad-
uated" to color photography.
1t. Adams likes to cook. While
going to medical school, she
shared an apartment with one
Of her classmates where she did
most Of the cooking.
A tourist here while living in
Aberdeen and Philadelphia, she
already has seen Washington's
most distinguished sights. Her
favorite-the Lincoln Memorial.
1t. Adams family still lives in
California, for which she has the
enthusiasm of the California
native. Her father. Earl S.
Adams, and her brother, John
E. Adams. live in Morgan Hill.
Her sister. Mrs. Henry Anderson,
is from San Jose.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I am
entering college in the fall, but
am heartbroken over my mothers
lack Of interest in my future
there. I know it is essential to
ones social life to belong to a
sorority, but mother says college
is costing enough, and she can't
afford the additional expense Of
q sorority. PATTY.
ANSWER: You have a one
sided sense Of values, Pat. APP
parently, you are going to college
Just for the social whirl. If you
have no more serious motive
than that, save your mothers
money and give up the college
idea. Sorority life is a very pleas
ant aspect of a college career. but
it certainly isn't essential. More
over, if it is so important to you,
what's the matter with earning
some money to finance the deal?
At least half the girls in college
work part time to pay some of
their expenses, and practically
every college has a placement
bureau to help you find part
time job. Going to college is a
wonderful experience, and so is
the social life that goes with it.
Don't be a campus Snob, how
ever. Be an all-around girl and
you'll have lots more fun, to say
nothing of the richer experiences
you will gain.
