NEW YORK R-Russian televi-
sion has no soap operas, no thrill
erS for children, no mystery plays,
and no commercials.
For an average American the
Soviet telecasts. would be pretty
dull fare. But MuScovites love
them. So far as Russians with TV
sets are concerned, television is
the biggest thing that's happened
since the war.
Even so, Russian television still
lis very small-scale operation. The
entire U.S.S.R. has only three sta
tions-in Moscow, Leningrad and
Kiev. Altogether there may be
somewhere around 100000 TV re-

NEW YORK R-The last time
l saw my six-year-old goddaughter,
Nina, she was in pajamaS and
Ibathrobe on her way to bed, her
blonde hair brushed long around
her face, her blue eyes languid
with postponed sleep.
She came running to give me a
special good night kiss. Then she
asked impulsively, Hal, can ]
tell you secret?"
Climbing up in my lap, she put
her arms round my neck, and
whispered in my ear very softly,
I'm in love-
She told me this strictly in con-
lfidence, but you know how women
are. l always figure when they
tell you a secret they are so per
cent hoping you'll spread the word
for them, and IS per cent trying
| it out for effect-to see whether
or not it is really a worthwhile
secret.
Nina caught me off guard. l

godfather gets when a gal who
holds special niche in his heart
suddenly says she is in love-and
means someone else.

the best reader in the first grade. "
| That can be pretty important to
a lady at six, lady who enjoys
nothing more herself than to curl
up with good solid book of
nursery rhymes. When / asked
Nina if Charles liked her, she went
completely feminine.
We'll, he says he doesn't" she
said, and both dimples came into
view, "but | think he really does. "
After Nina had gone to bed, l
began cautiously asking about
Charles-and her father and moth

Nina had whispered separately into
their ears, too, how she felt about
Charles. Six or 60 q thought),
women haven't learned the secret
of keeping any secret, particularly
on the subject Of love.
/ Nina's mother approved of the
romance, saying it was just right
for the first grade, based on her
own firSt-grade memories. She had
never met Charles, but understood
he was a young man of high
character and principle, although
subject to head colds in winter.
Nlna's father said the only time
he'd known Nina to falter in this
very serious business of "being in
love" was right after Christmas
