They INSTALLMENT FIFTEEN The thing I liked best of all about the Soviet Union, and it is one we would do well to copy, is the intelli-gently decent Russian attitude toward minority races. They are helped without being patronized, and they have developed self-respe-and an understandable gratitude. If they have no real freedom, neither do the Russians. While this Soviet racial-colonia- l policy may not be so good as our handling of the Philippine Islands, It is Infinitely better than our bun-- j gling and thoughtless treatment of the Negro. We fly south out of Siberia, down Into the ancient Oriental peoples now ruled by the Soviet Union. Suddenly we are crossing a huge blue lake. It is so big that when land drops away behind us we still cannot see the shore ahead. When It does appear, we see the begin-ning of a rolling desert On our left a chain of blue, snow-cappe- d mountains rises like a fence. Geo-logically, they seem about as old the size of soup plates, and the whole, Including the ear flaps, is lined with silver fox fur. The party they gave us at the hotel that night was the most pleas-ant we attended in the Soviet Union. It was the most Informal. The din- - ner was elaborate as usual, but it wasn't stiff. The local notables were easy, friendly notables. There is an attractive girl she teaches dancing at the local acad-emy and she speaks fairly fluent good English but curiously awk-ward. She explains she learned it from books and until now has never spoken with an American or an are keenly interested in the plum, which they recently brought here from Canada, and Is already pro-ducing more than twenty-fiv- e pounds of fruit per tree. In this particular orchard they use the most modern pipe system of subterranean irriga-tion. They are proudest of their vineyards; in 1914 they had 3,000 hectares of land in grapes. Now they have 30,000. Workers on this state farm get only 300 roubles a month in salary, but at the end of the season they get a produce dividend of about 700 kilograms (roughly 1,500 pounds) of vegetables, which Includes corn, Englishman. There are vice premiers, council-ors and members of the local gov-ernment, some Russian and some Kazak. There are also half a dozen stars from the local opera all Ka-zak- s. There are twin boys in their teens, who sang last night, now re-splendent in twin Tuxedos, of which they are very proud. There Is a Kazak girl of about twenty, who danced the role of the Oriental princess with the cruel father. She could be any of the pretty Indian girls who, when Indians had oil money, were sought after by sorori-ties at the University of Kansas. Then there are two older artists women in their forties, who, ex-cept that they look like sisters-in-la-of Madame Chiang Kai-she- could be any of the Russian artists who have entertained us in the other melons and pumpkins. Then each has his own irrigated garden plot-ab- out a quarter of an acre for each worker. They may sell the produce dividend on the free market, at prices lower than the Moscow free market. The director gets 1,700 roubles a month and-- pays monthly 35 roubles for two large rooms in a big house he shares with someone else. The rent, he says, is figured on the basis of 1 rouble, 30 kopeks, per square meter of dwelling space. In Amer-ican figures, this Is about 10 cents a square yard.

Their evening dresses are Just as good, they have as many gold teeth, but in addition they wear beautiful Oriental jewelry set with precious stones old Kazak work-manship worthy of a museum. Most of all, we liked them as peo-ple. They were gentle and friend-ly, and obviously had never been warned against foreigners. Almost the same thing could be said of the Russians. That invisible barrier of tension and suspicion which sepa-rates Russians from all foreigners had been slowly dissolving since we left Moscow. Here in Kazakstan, it disappeared entirely. We have now left Kazakstan and enter the neighboring Socialist So-viet Republic of Uzbekistan, whose capital is the ancient Mohammedan city of Tashkent. I am riding in the caboose plane with the corre-spondents. The buffet service is as good as in the plane ahead. It even includes fresh strawberries, taken on at Alma-Ata- . Dick Lauterbach pays a visit to the toilet and returns shaking his head. He is filming the life of Ivan the Terrible. Ivan is one of the newly resurrected Soviet heroes. Eisen-stein speaks fluent English, with a slight but agreeable accent. The name of the President-Premie- r of Kazakstan is Nutras He is a pleasant, kindly old Comanche or Sioux, who except for his European clothes, might be the dignified tribal chief you would meet on any Indian reservation. Most of his cabinet ministers are also Kazaks, but there are a few blue-eye- blond Russians present. The Russians, however, are in the background. The Kazaks tell us the people racially belong to the Turkoman-Mongo- l group, and fought for inde-pendence as early as the twelfth century, when the southeastern part of the present republic was under the rule of the Chinese Seventh Dynasty. Later they adopted the Mohammedan religion. The title of the hereditary ruler was the Khan as In Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan. The Mohammedan religifcn is still popular many people go to the mosque. Entire factories have been moved from one part of Russia to another. as our Rockies. On the east side of this fence is China. We enter Kazakstan, of which Alma-At- a is the capital. The Kazak people are part of the savage no-madic tribes who for a thousand years have pressed against Europe and once formed a part of the armies of Genghis Khan and Tamer-lane and Atilla's Huns. When Europe invented the rifle, they sank from the status of a ter-rible menace to that of a constant-ly harassing threat. In the past few centuries the Rus-sian people have been pouring through the Urals to colonize Si-beria. The Russians had to struggle with these savage Mongolian nom-ads, whose culture was only a little higher than that of our American In- - "I'll never get used to them. Five thousand feet above a howling des-ert they serve us strawberries, cavi-ar and champagne, and then I go back there and find nobody has re-membered to empty the chemical bucket for three days." The crowd of airport-greeter- as at Alma-At- are wearing white silk suits. Again half are Russian and half local Orientals. The local boyi are known as Uzbeks. The jackets But Kazakstan is now one of the Soviet republics and has a great measure of independence; recently it was given the right of a separate foreign minister. Joyce, turning to the premier says, "You say now this is an independ-ent republic; well, tell us about some of the conflicts you've had with the central government." The premier says there haven't been many conflicts, and lets It rest at that. "You say Utat you have the right to send ministers to other countries; who will you send them to? Will you send one to America?" A big Russian down at the end of the table, hitherto silent, now tact-fully leans forward and suggests that such ministers will be sent to those countries most useful to them commercially. Joyce turns back to the premier. "Are you going to send one to Amer-ica or not?" Of course, that would be decided dians. They battled the equivalent of Geronimo and Sitting Bull and they have their Cttsters who made valiant Last Stands, but who finally, after a series of border wars, opened the continent to the White Man. We penned our Indians up in reservations. The Russians found another solution as we shall see. We step out onto Alma-At- a air-port at the base of the foothills into a country exactly like that around Boulder, Colorado, or Colorado Springs. The trees, the scenery, even the weeds are the same. The prominent Russians and the prominent Kazaks wear immaculate white raw silk suits. Alma-Ata- , like Denver, is on an irrigated plain with mountains rising in the back-ground. We pass through cornfields, where sun flowers grow along the irrigation ditches again exacUy like Colorado. The farm houses are of sun-bake- d brick, made of clay and straw the adobe of our South-west. In Moscow, the premier explains. i nBIIHlaHalfl The premier explains at the time of the 1917 Revolution the people were 93 per cent Illiterate. Today illiteracy is gone, and the Soviets have built many theaters and schools. Naturally, the people are grateful, so why should there be any disputes with the Moscow govern-ment? This Soviet Denver is a sprawl- - Ing Russian town, which before the war had 180,000 people and now has 400,000. That evening after the customary banquet we go to the local opera, where they give a performance based on an old Kazak folk tale. The actors are all Kazaks as are the words, music and costumes. It is a beautiful show, and gives us a vivid idea of what these people once were like. The costumes are clearly derived from the Chinese and a musician picks out a haunting Oriental tune on what looks like a Chinese banjo while a pair of twin Kazak boys sing. All of their culture came over the mountains with them but it is pre-- ' served only here in the opera, for the clothing of those we see In the streets, is not picturesque, but is a drab composite of clean patches in-distinguishable from the rest of the Soviet Union. Next morning they take us for a drive out through the irrigated river valley, past pink adobe houses like American mission to Russia in 1941 Included Gen. James H. Burns and William L. Batt. of all Russian white silk suits but-ton up to the collarbone and have high turned-dow- n collars like the Chinese. They wear caps of the same white pongee silk. The cap, incidentally, is a relic of revolutionary days and was sym-bolic of the working class, since only bourgeois exploiters wore felt hats. Recently, the government began making felt hats, explaining that in the new Russia, they need no longer be regarded as a badge of shame. However, all the old-tim- e Bolshe-viks still cling to caps. Nesterov always wears one. Mike Kalugin wore one. And, of course. Stalin, in all his pictures. As a hall-mar- k of the old Bolshevik aristocracy, the cap is probably politically safer than the hat (TO BE CONTINUED) The premier explains that the people elect delegates to a regional Soviet, who send delegates to the Kazakstan Soviet, who chose him as premier. "All right. Now ask him how Stalin got his job; we want to un- - derstand it. Ask him that." The handsome Russian down at the end of the table leans forward and explains smoothly and briefly the intricacies of the Soviet elec-toral system. He did it politely and there was no feeling that he was brushing the premier aside; only helping him over the hard places. Likewise when we ask how many refugees are here, It is the alert and friendly Russian who tells us that a million are still here, al- - STAGEM RADIO Released by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE MOTION picture versions plays have never been very success-ful, but Laurence Olivier's new production, the $2,000,-00- 0 technicolor "Henry V," is likely to break records. It in-troduces the Bard in a new light as an action writer with a flair for the "boy meets girl" theme. Henry was a madcap youngster, a superb warrior, a great lover and a conscientious king what more could anyone ask, especially with talented Olivier in the role? Since England was at war when the picture was made, the terrific battle scenes were shot in Ireland, where they wouldn't have to stop work every time a plane roared overhead.

Parents rest easy when Junior's listening to "Land of the Lost." David Bruce, who played opposite Deanna Durbin In "Lady on a Train" and opposite Yvonne De Carlo in "Salome," has been signed by Comet Productions to co-st- ar with Cleatus Caldwell, ex-wi- fe of Ken Murray, in "Miss Television." Mind you, Miss Caldwell U a "co-star- ," despite the fact that "Miss Television" marks her screen de-but! How times have changed! Now that "Forever Amber" pro-duction has been postponed, we're likely to be involved once more in a discussion of who'll play "Am- - ber." Apparently the little English girl, Peggy Cummins, Isn't right for it after all. Right now a vote for Paulette Goddard is registered. In "Kitty," which has a somewhat similar story, she proved that she could do right well by the role. yr The picture based on the life of Glenn Miller will get under way late this summer. It's said that Fred MacMurray won't play Major Mill-er because of his resemblance to band leader Tex Bcneke, so why not give Dick Powell the role? "Hopalong Cassidy" is getting ready to ride again. After an ab-sence of two years from the screen Bill Boyd's readying "The Devil's Playground." He'll have a new leading lady, Elaine Riley, a for-mer fashion model in New York; she's red headed and Irish as they come. He's borrowing her from Paramount.

HUMAN tidal wave, headed for A almost any sort of sporting competition, has struck baseball in a record sweep. All past records are being submerged in the way of at-tendance figures, even on the part of those teams who are conceded nothing better than sixth place. It would not be surprising to see the newly bedecked Yankee sta- - dium, under the operation of Larry MacPhail, crowd the two million mark before Octo-- b e r reports. The Yankees are prac-tically sure to set an e count at the busy turnstiles, with the Tigers not too far away. The Cubs and the Grantland Rice Dodgers also should surpass their best year, with many thousands added to the list. A sporting crowd Is willing to take a heavier beating than any other section of the human race. All these frenzied multitudes ask is a chance to buy a ticket, then let nature take its course. These crowds make the sardine look like a rover In the wide-op- en spaces, with room to spare. The Kentucky Derby set a new high in several directions. So prob- - ably will the Louis - Conn inter-- ; mingling at the Yankee stadium in June. The Rush to Sport We have been asked to explain this overwhelming rush to sport. After all, we have few who can match in ability and color the headliners of the Golden Age fol-lowing the First World war. I am referring again to Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Man o' War, Bill Tilden, Tommy Hitch-cock, Devereux Milburn, Walter Hagen, Rogers Hornsby, Earl Sande and Red Grange. We have no such galaxy of famous names with which to conjure, although Di- -' Maggio, Williams, Nelson, Hogan, Arcaro, Blanchard, Davis and a few others may be just as good. It may be that the glamour of past years takes on too keen a hue and glint. But that Golden Age of Sport produced a pretty fair col-lection of talent and color. No such talent has been proved in this pres-ent postwar era up to date, but it may happen later. It may be that the coming season in various sports will give us cham-pions that can match the Old Guard of the lost and golden era. We don't believe so. But we know that sport will give us greater crowds than ever were known in the past. We know that there will be more money than ever before wagered on the races through the mutuels and trv bookmakers a total surpass-ing 2 billion dollars. New York alone will pass 500 million through the mutuels. In this era of peace following the blacknes3 of the world's greatest war, there are two details that make this possible: (1) the reach for release the excuse for taut nerves and (2) more widespread cash than this country has ever known previously. It Is the same in England, even more so. This is no knock against the human race. It is only a natural reaction, even if It isn't the wisest and the sanest reaction. When was the human race ever sane or wise? Some Big Questions The season will soon begin to un-roll a number of answers to vari-ous important questions. No. 1. How will the Yankee pitch-ing staff make out? Will It be con-sistently good enough to be even fairly close to the pitching strength of Tigers, Red Sox or Indians? Or the Senators? No. 2. Can the Tiger infield hold up well enough to give Steve O'Neill's crack pitching staff the chance to win again? No. 3. Can Leo Durocher find enough pitching to keep his Dodgers uj. with the Cardinals and Cubs? Especially the Cubs. No. 4. How far will the Cardinals be in front by the first of August? No. 5. Will the Giants' some-what jittery defensive play crowd Mel Ott's team out of the first dlvi- - sion? No. 6. What about the season'-impendin-pitching duel between Bob Feller and AI Newhouser? No. 7. Also the A. L.'s all around batting championship among Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Dick Wakefield? No. S. How many home runs can Hank Greenberg deliver to offset the natural and expected deficit in loot speed? No. 9. To what ball clubs are a few of the Cardinals' pitching sur-plus headed? No. 10. How will Pesky and Doerr of the Red Sox compare with Rizzuto and Gordon of the Yankees? No. 11. What are the odds on either Phillies or Athletics leaving the ancient and moldy tellar? No. 12. How will the old New York - Boston argument concerning the ability of Joe Gor ' don and Bobby Doerr work out? ' No. 13. How far up will Billy louthworth be able to lift the Braves in his first Boston season? dinw ws&L 9&, ihsL The young wife had just gleaned a delightful bit of information. "Oh, by the way, Mother," she re-- i marked, with exaggerated non-chalance, "Henry's going in for anthropology. You know, I always said he had brains!" j "Humph! Anthropology!" sniff-- : ed the parent. "That good-for- - nothing couldn't even pronounce the word! What gave you that crazy notion?" "Well," continued the young wife complacently, "I found some green tickets in his pocket, marked 'Mudhorse 15 to 1." When I asked him about them he said they were relics of a lost race." |
