Russian Kids Are
Encouraged To
Watch For Spies

MOSCOW Up - Russian children
are being told in their own news
paper that they can help catch
spies.
Major soviet papers recently
have been publishing frequent re-
ports of "American-trained" spies
and subversives captured in the
Soviet Union. It is claimed that
the Americans train Russian de-
serters and political exiles in West
Germany, then parachute them
back into the Soviet Union. These
reports are part of new cam
paign of vigilance in which the
people are warned of the foreign
danger to our motherland.
Now comes Pioneer Pravda, the
paper for Russian small fry, with
full-page poem, Illustrated with
drawings, to tell how children can
contribute to this vigilance cam
paign and catch spies.
Pioneer Pravda'S poem tells
about four little boys of the pioneer
organization who went fishing.
They met a man who also was
fishing - and with a fancy rod
and reel which the boys envied. =.
The man also had a camera, and
offered to take the boys picture.
But he concentrated on getting the
boys to stand where a big factory
would be in the background.
The kids reported this and other
developments to the police, who
arrested the man.
The poem concludes:
"You are good boys,
You Pioneers.
You were not idle
There on the shore.
You caught a real big fish,
Even though you had
Primitive fishing tackle"

Career servicemen have an
other six months to decide
whether to join the Servicemen's
Annuity Plan, which would give
dependents a steady income
The law which set up the plan
at first required a decision by
April 80 If you had completed 18
years of active or reserve service
or had retired. But Congress has
now extended the deadline to
November / for men with 18
years service. It was not ex-
tended for retired servicemen.
Under the annuity plan, all you
have to do is agree to have de-
ductions made from your retired
pay when you start receiving it.
Then, your dependents will be
assured a certain income after
you die.
Methods Determine Costs.
The plan allows you to provide
income for either or both: (a)
your wife, if she is still your wife
at the time of your retirement,
(b) your children, if they are
under 18 at the time of your re-
tirement or if a child is over 18
and mentally or physically in
competent.
In general, the cost will depend
on the choice Of method Of pay
ment, how much income you
want to give your dependents.
your age and the age Of your
chosen dependents when you re-
tire. and whether you are retiied
with or without a physical dis
ability.
You should be able to get COM
plete information about the an
nuity plan from your unit per-
sonnel, legal assistance or admin
istrative officer.
