A HRsT-HAND REPORT
= Why India's Youths Turn Communist

Rama, sis in it's possibility of
leading India to socialism. There
are two main forces in India.
today. those for and against
socialism. After Nehru's depar-'
ture from the national political,
scene, there is likely to be a sud-,
den polarization of these forces.
To-day most students support.
socialism, They don't like to iden-
tify themselves with communism
but Congress is in power and is
corrupt. That is its advantage ,
and disadvantage. Nobody knows.
if the Cpl is corrupt since it's
not in power. Then the Congress
Party does not encourage youth
to come up. The other Socialist
parties are too individualistic and
diSorganized to attract youth.
Often they turn to the Commu-
mist Party because of its Sincereity,
good organization and good party
discipline. And it openly woos
youth; they are wanted.
"The attraction OF communism
is mainly theoretical, HE sacri-
flee of existing freedoms is not
considered" Rama smooths the
sleeves of his expensive hand
spun shirt. There's so much
freedom in modern India. people
never realize how it could be
limited. And after all, what is
the value of freedom to a hungry
man?
CuItivote InteIIectuoIs
Rama points out that the Com
munistS have been careful to cul-
tivate writer's and artists through
subsidies, youth festivals in Rus
Sia with paid expenses and large
payments for translation rights.
He feels the Cpl has had two
major setbacks, once for support
ing the creation of Pakistan and,
more recently, during the Chi
nese border aggression. But these
have had little effect compared
to their opposite pressures Of
unemployment and the slow rate
of economic development.
Rama feels that the students
of India have always been a force
for building socialism but that
today they are frustrated from
taking an active part by the
ruling Congress Party.
Before independence, he says,
the youth movement in India
was united under the Students
Federation founded by Nehru.
During the Quit India" move
ment against the British, these
youths played an active role in
the agitation, such as putting
acid swiped from chemistry labs
into post boxes to spoil letters.
In contrast to Gandhi's nom
violent teachings, the youth
movement had always been char.
acterized by violence, such as
the Bombay Naval Munity. How
ever, the youth always remained
Socialist-oriented and the COM
munal or reactionary forces we're
never successful in mobilizing
them.
In 1947, when Nehru and the
Socialist leaders formed India's
first Congress government, they
told the youth movements that
their role was over and that
youth from then on should keep
out of politics, a theme the Con-
gress leaders today still repeat.

How Soviets Fioht
Their Air Pollution
By DOROTHY LEAVITT
Contributing Writer

Hot or cold, Russian air gets
polluted the same as ours does.
So says DR.. Benjamin S. Levine,
1912 Northampton street NV,
who is devoting his retirement,
following 40 years in the Public
Health Service, to translating
Russian literature dealing with
Soviet experiments and studies in.
air pollution. His translations are
being published and distributed by
the Office of Technical Services
of the Commerce Department.
Seven volumes have already ap-
peared. Two are in their third
printing.
AS far as DR.. Levine can ascer-
tain, the Soviet is not holding back
any of its published findings on
how humanity may combat its
self-imposed air pollution.
The Soviet problems are the
same as those which have been
harraSsing public health officials
in the United States and any
country where industrialization
has opened up a Pandora's box of
health menaces to populations re-
siding near factories and mills,
and to the users of the equipment
and conveniences modern technol-
ogy has devised for the comfort of
Goth century man.
Russian studies included such
aspects as the effect of air pollu-
tion from various gases and acids
on the health of the population
generally, to specific studies deal
ing with lead pollution, discharges
from electric steam plants, air
dust, effects on children and older
people, damage to eyes or internal
organs, effects on trees and vege-
tation and the effect of city
traffic noises and exhausts on
hospital patients. Many studies
deal also with the determination
of the amount of air pollution
that the human system can stand.
"Air pollution, per Sc, is not
necessarily injurious" DR.. Levine
says. There is usually an allow
able amount of concentration
that the human system can with
stand. But that amount must first
be determined.
Actually, you can't breathe
pure oxygen. Nature must have
foreseen that the clean, pink
lungs of an infant would be sub
jected to air pollution as he grew
older because the lungs are equip

Communism is scientific, it
does not believe in superstition,
in old villagers views; it does
not believe in God," he says.
Ahmed continues that he is from
an orthodox Muslin family
whose women members are kept
in strict purdah. In Russia, he
says, women have equal rights,
adding contemptuously that the
equality of the sexes in Western
countries is superficial.
"Communism's greatest appeal to
me is archaeological. All around

miseries of poverty. My father

Ahmed was introduced to COM

M. Thierry is not a shy
young man. He's very much
for many things in hairstyl-
ing and very much against
others. All this with a
charming French accent to
boot.
HE'S FOR-"Women look
ing sophisticated in the Fall
and Winter and looking ma
tural and pretty in the sum-
mer." In the summer a
woman must feel more like a
country girl" "a good
cut is always important in
hairstyling but in the sum-
mer it is even more so be-
cause who has time to keep
getting her hair done, the
beach is more fun.
HE'S AGAINST - THE
constant quick change de-
manded of people in fashion.
All the time they want a new
line. In America things go
too fast. Here they want a
new line six times a year. In
Europe twice a year is when
the lines come out in fashion
