A Soviet broadcast says the amusement parks are "rubbish," the walkathons are "appalling." and the industrialists will murder the girls they wed. This dismal view of life in the United States is presented in a broadcast Intended ogly for Russian ears. But the broadcast, car- - Truman Urged To Veto Red Control Bill WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (U.R) educators, writers, scientists and religious' leaders today urged President Truman to yeto the Communist control bill certain to be approved by congress next week. Mr. The group telegraphed Truman that the measure "would sweep away traditional American concepts of civil rights." About 130 persons signed the telegraph. They said the measure threatens "the right to dissent" of freedom and contravenes speech guaranteed in the bill of rights. The measure, which combines the "tougher" features of separate bills passed by the house and senate," is now being hammered out in conference committee. The group will finish its work Monday. The group protesting the measure included two Nobel prize winners. Other sizners included Prof. Zechariah Chafee, Jr., Harvard university law school; Dr. Linus Pauling, of California Institute of Technology; Bishop W, J. Walls, secretary of the board of bishops of the A.M.E. Zion church, and Dean John B. Thompson of the Rockefeller Memorial chapel at the University of Chicago. The bill may be vetoed. Mr. Truman has repeatedly said he would not approve similar legislation. Supporters of the new bill appeared to have plenty of votes to override a veto, however, and Mr. Truman has said he will not try to "pocket" it and let it die when congress goes home. Sen. Pat McCarran, D., Nev., chairman of the conference committee, declined to discuss the measure In its final form. From other sources it was learned that only s few noncontroversial provisions remain to be adjusted.; A group of GASOLINE NOT POP SPRINGFIELD, 111.

This town is called the windy city, but there is never any fresh air," a radio correspondent said. "When a slight whirlwind occurs, then Chicago this dirty, neglected town becomes a perfect dustbin." The correspondent related how, in order to escape the. "unbearable heat,' he went to a park which, he said, "is a commercial enterprise aof a: very low level.," He said large, ugly building marked "The Palace of Aladdin," contains games! "founded on . . ,. rubbish and charlantanism." "In the dark; corridors of the 'Palace' are to be found skeletons, coffins with spring lids, monitors," the broadcast said. a sooth"In the distance sayer woman is; shouting. This is one of the replies received by a girl: 'Your husband will be an industrialist. This is the decree of fate for youi "The fortune' tellers will not forecast that the husband will be jobless and will gas his family from sheer despair, as occurs daily in. the United States." Correspondent Shocked The correspondent said he was shocked by Americans who pay 20 cents to go through a gallery of famous criminals. The broadcast, ignoring Hop-aloCassidy and Roy Rogers, said the criminals "are the heroes of today's America." Monkeys were in cages, the broadcast said, but so were Negroes. They sat on a seat which dumped them into a tank of water if a patron could hit a target with i a baseball. "Only in America," the broadcast added, "is siich maltreatment 1 possible. But a walkathon in Long Beach, Calif., seemed just as bad to the correspondent. This is hbw the Russian people heard the event described: "A certain businessman picked out 22 unemployed . . . men and women, for a beggar's pay, walked in couples for many hours around an arena. The victims walked themselves into a state of complete exhaustion, fell, and left the arena. "The last six couples were chained together, They dragged their limbs and stumbled to the music of the orchestra and the howling of sirens; they fell and got up again in order to win by this cruel torture a few dollar for food. The wild show lasted for two months. "After having gained a nice little sum for himself, the industrialist fired the unemployed, saying, 'These boys are eating too much'." n . ... WASHINGTON. Sept. 18 (U.R) The Methodist Temperance board lined up with the Women's-ChristiaTemperance; Union Saturday in a crusade to dry up Washington and the GIs.; Methodist Bishop Wilbur E. Hammaker of Washington, executive vice president of the board, said lot of young, soldiers in Korea could pick up the drinking nami ix tne army lets them have beer. v And he said all the drinking that goes on here in Washington loosens too many official tongues with consequent danger to the nation. The WCTU started the crusade rolling last Thursday at its convention in Denver. The ladies demanded that all military men and responsible government officials give up liquor in all its forms for the duration of the Korean war. They denounced the business of giving beer to GI's at the front and asked congress to tighten up a law which, iri theory only, bans liquor from all military reservations. But a quick canvass indicated that this sinful, party-lin- g capital, where liquor consumption is more than three times the national average, isn't taking the pledge.

(U.R) The government charged two Soviet embassy officials Saturday with a closed military area entering outside Stockholm and demanded that they leave the country. The incident was the latest in a series ln recent months and reflected growing tension between the two Baltic sea states Sweden which is struggling to maintain neutrality, and the mighty Soviet Union. A brief announcement said the foreign office had, been advised by the Swedish defense staff that a Soviet legation automobile had been seen at Jaervafaitt a mill. tary training field north of Stock- iiujui, ai o:ju p.m., sept. 13. forty minutes later, the report said, two persons came up to the car and one of them "appears to be Identified as a certain official of the Soviet embassy."

He said the boys in the foxholes want soft dHnks, fruit and vegetable drinks,or "just plain American water." ey But Hammaker said everyone in a position of authority in the capital should, go on the wagon. He said drink makes "blabbermouths" of responsible officials who are loaded with secrets on such matters as the atomic bomb, foreign policy and military security. Hammaker said the government drinkers should go dry voluntarily, although Rep. Joseph R. Bryson, D., S.C., responded to the WCTU call by introducing a national prohibition bill. "It's a sad situation," said Bry son, looking at the capital's liquor consumption record of about 22 fifths annually for every man, woman, and child. his Hammaker accompanied criticism of Washington wining with a statement attacking the "cheap politicians" who, he said, are clamoring for beer for our GI's.
