The Russians "brainwaSh"
expectant mothers to achieve
painless childbirth, Mrs. Perle
Mesta told members of the
Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club yesterday.
The former United States
Minister to Luxembourg. who
made a 12,000-mile tour of
Russia and a subsequent 49,
000-mile world tour, addressed
a luncheon at the club on the
subject, "a Global Look at
Communism"
In other remarks on Russia,
Mrs. Mesta said:
/. There are no cookbook
ing women in Russia. They
have killed of all the good
looking ones. The ones who
are left are all Amazons, who
work hard"
2. There is no such thing
in Russia as a married couple
living together and bringing
up a family of children. The
mothers all do hard labor, and
they are sent back to work a
few days after their babies
are born. The children are
kept in communal nurseries
all day. After they reach age
five or six the children are

was in pain. They took one or
two deep breaths and the child
was born.
MY conclusion was that
they used the same brainwash
for the mothers that they have
for the prisoners and SOL
dierS."
Turning to her trip to the
Far East, the well-known
Washington hostess said she
talked to the prime minister
in each of the II countries she
visited, and asked each of
them "for a message TO brin1
back to the American people. "
The former diplomat ducked
the only political question
asked in the question period
following her speech. The
question, referring back to the
title of her talk, was: rs the
present administration pro-
ceeding in the most efficient
way against global commu-
nism?" 81
The query was too polit-
ical," Mrs. Mesta said.

Columbia University Graduate
School of Journalism is retiring
lat the end of the current
academic year after rs years as
head of the school.
His successor has not yet been

Under Dean Alderman, the old
Columbia Journalism School
achieved graduate status in 1885.

to mix it with her income" Mr..
Ford said. She said she would
only get the refund. She said
the money belonged to the
Congressman"
Mr.. Ford said he filed two
returns for Mrs. Dodson from
l948 to 1850, adding:
II continued to warn her it
was the wrong thing to do it, at
a time when a Congressman was
indicted for kickbacks."
Several Congressman have
served Jail sentences in the past
for taking kickbacks from sal
aries of their employees.
Admits Falsifying
Under cross-examination, the
witness admitted classifying the
Dodson returns, but said he did
so at Mrs. Dodson'S direction.
Mr.. Dodson is accused of
falsely listing children as de-
pendents on his tax return for
1851 and 1852. He would face a
possible maximum 10 years in
prison if convicted.
His wife is alleged to have
evaded $4,000 IN taxes and to
have received $4,000 in illegal
refunds between 1913 and 1852.
The maximum penalty in her
case is As years.
On croSs-examination, defense
attorney Frederick Block tried
to draw from Mr.. Ford an adj
that he was motivated
in his testimony by a political
feud with Mr.. Powell dating
back to 1851.
Mr.. Ford replied: II have
nothing at all against Congress-
man Powell. I voted for him at
the last election"
At one point, Judge Irving r.
Kaufman admonished Mr.. Block
that he was going far afield,"
and added that Mr.. Powell was
not on trial.

1851. Mrs. DodSon also is
charged with income tax evasion
and receiving illegal refunds.
Mrs. Dodson was Washington
secretary to the New York Dem
ocrat in l945. The Government
says she returned to New York
in 1916. But her secretarial SAL
AIRY continued, the Government
claims, and was kicked back to
Mr. Powell.
The United States Attorneys
Office here declined to comment
on the possibility of action being
taken against Mr.. Powell.
Third Secretary Indicted
Mrs. Dodson is the third of
Mr.. Powell's secretaries to be in
dicted on income tax charges.
Two men who are former sec
retaries of his have pleaded not
guilty and are awaiting trial.
Mr.. Powell and the Dodsons
are Negroes.
y After a year in Washington,
Mrs. DodSon became the $3,100-
a-year business secretary at the
Abyssinian Baptist Church in
Harlem where Mr.. Powell is
pastor. Her husband is a $1,000
a-year choirmaster at the
church.
Accountant Joseph E. Ford
testified yesterday that he helped
Mrs. Dodson prepare her 1916
tax return. Mr.. Ford, Mr..
Powell's former campaign man
ager, said Mrs. Dodson wanted
to list her income as congress

An official in the National
Home Fashions League popped
into town recently represent
ing the Home Furnishings
Committee for the Fashion
Group. Inc. and espousing the
latest trends and versatility in
the use of venetian blinds.
Mrs. Isabel Barringer,
A. I. D., of New York, has
taken a leaf from Japanese
decor where sliding doors
provide added space or privacy
as the occasion demands.
Venetian blinds, Mrs. Bar
ringer says, can provide the
same service inexpensively,
using them as room dividers to
shut out the sight of special
room areas which can be made
invisible at a moments notice.
This new decorating idea en-
tails having the blind installed
by the retailer on a ceiling
track at minimum expense.
They can shut off a dining area
at will, divide a two-child bed
room for sleeping quarters at
night. making a play area in
the daytime; or can be placed
over unsightly toy or work
bench shelves to hide the
hodgepodge array and at the
same time protect the items
from dust.
Venetian blinds as room
dividers also are useful. Mrs.
Barringer reveals, in bath
rooms, where they can be used
to form a temporary dressing
area for privacy.
Mrs. Barringer, who has
supervised the furnishing of
a number of internationally
known hotels, as we'll as indi-
vidual homes, believes there is
little difference in the furnish
ing of a hotel bed-sitting room
and a similar room in the
home.
Venetian blinds fit into the
color picture in this decorating
scheme, adding window inter-
est to the room. Today's plas-
tic blinds are available not
only in a vast array of colors,
but in a variety of textures
such as wood grains. linens,
lace. mother-of-pearl for bath
rooms. and simulated tweeds.
Contrasting tapes, a little
imagination and a fair for
the dramatic are a few ingredi-
ents Mrs. Barringer advocates
for achieving the effect of Gus
tom-designed windows with
venetian blinds.
The home fashion expert in
serts contrasting Stats behind
matching tapes to give a novel
effect.
Other off-beat suggestions
she offers are the use of decals
and cut outs on blinds in a
children's room and the install
