40s, smiled at us when we de-
liberately spoke Yiddish to one

At the next station, as we ap-
preached the escalator, I said

Protected" From People
We attended synagogue serv-
ices daily. There were contin-
uous prayers from 6 am. to IL
am. every day., AS we entered,
the sections, usually four in
number, would run interference
for us, discouraging congregants
from talking to us.
One day, in Leningrad, we were
ushered into a chapel, before
worship, and the door locked be-
hind us, shutting out the throng
shouting questions.
Even Mrs. Jacob Grossman, the
only woman in our group, and
wife of a rabbi, was protected"
AS soon as she took her seat in
the women's gallery, she found
at her side two wives of officials,
who extolled the woman COM
forts of Russian life. Other
women closed in on her, but
they were shooed away.
Only by judicious scattering,
were we able to evade our pro
tectors" and speak informally to
many of our co-religionists.
Stories of Oppression
Their stories were uniform.
Under Stalin-never referred to
by name, but always as "the Ter
rible One, oppression was in
tense. Darkest of all were the
days and months following the
arrest of the Jewish Doctors" in
January 1858.
Jews were removed from buses
and streetcars; there were mass
arrests. including fourteen Off
Gals of the Leningrad Syna-
gogue. One rabbi was impris-
oned for preaching a sermon on
the Messiah.
Widespread reports had it that

Smiling graciously, they wanted

stay. You'd think they were
running for county sheriff.
Signs Of Police State
Yet this synthetic sociability
could not hide the fact that we
were still in a police state.
There were dozen signs, a
dozen subtle suggestions that the
|reins of state were tightly held:
the little man who sat behind
every official we spoke to, includ-
ing religious leaders, notebook
in hand. recording every thought
expressed by host and guest. The
hesitancy of even minor library
officials to be seen alone with a
foreigner-they always came in
twoS.
The observation OF journalists,
after many months in Russia,
that there were curtains within
curtains, making it impossible to
know the actual life of this
people.
Getting inside a Russian home
was a prodigioNs undertaking.
One Moscow native explained
that in order to receive the gov
ernment's permission to invite
Americans into his home, he had
to file a detailed report on the
kind of apartment he had, the
state Of his furniture and the
number of occupants.
Received Warmly
Americans are received warmly
and with much politesse. When
the woman conductor on a Len
ingrad bus pointed to me and
said. "Amerikanski," a Russian
soldier stood up and gave me his
seat. But few Soviet citizens were
willing to be seen in our COM
pany.
The only exceptions were uni

Two Leningrad students. visiting
our hotel dining room, told me
that they learned American geo.

BY Bob keefer

Two very crucial Little League
games will be played tomorrow
night involving the top teams in
each Of the two divisions. Shaw
Field will be the site of a neigh
borhood natural" between the
Nelson jewelers. and Don Fisher
Furnaces who battled to an S-8
deadlock in their first meeting
early in the season. Currently the
hustling Nelson nine holds one
game lead over the strong Fisher
entry which has lost its last two
games after winning five straight.
Both teams are 1-2 in the entire
league in both hitting and field
ing and they are especially pro-
ficient defensively since they have
averaged slightly more than one
error per game. Nelson's have six
regulars batting better than 800
while Fishers have four starters
swatting in the charmed circle"
paced by the leagues top hitter,
Third Baseman Allen Farinacci,
who is plaguing rival pitchers.
The other Little League attrac-
tion, which will be played at
Superior Hill Field, matches the
first and second place teams in
the Superior Division. The Fire
Dept. team, which now owns a
IL record, is favored to triumph
over second place Kennedy's Mems
Shop whom they defeated last
month, 8-4. A loss by the improved
Kennedy nine will practically
eliminate them from title conten-
tion since they have already
dropped three games. This game
will probably match two of the
leagues leading pitchers - Bruce
Matte, Fires curve ball specialist
and John Detrant, an 11-year-old
hurler who has a 81 record. The
other four teams, while they are
now out of the race for top honors,
will concentrate their efforts on |
taking pot shots at the 'front.' |
