Litvinov is also present a keen face, thinning, sandy hair intelligent, alert a benign volcano. The reporters say he is the only accessible Kremlin resident. He will give any of the more serious one hour or so, explaining Soviet policy and problems provided, of course, they dont bother him too often. The dinner is like Mikoyans, even to the climatic suckling pig or rather his cousin, similarly shaved and boiled. I am next to another Foreign Office boy (Russians apparently keep their wives and daughters away from ravening capitalist eyes, Russian newspapers and newsreels carry only small amounts of news about the outside world, and never anything which might arouse internal discontent with the Partys rule or the Soviet Unions standard of living. Now and then, of course, there is a slight miscalculation. For instance, Soviet newsreels, which specialize in strikes or disorders in the Western countries, ran many feet showing the Detroit race riots, including a vivid closeup of a cop beating a young Negro. The effect on the Soviet audience was electric. Some Russians even stood up. Look they cried at that wonderful pair of shoes the Negro is wearing! Almost never do the authorities admit any book or movie which would give a straightforward picture of American life and the average American living standard. It is true that Soviet intellectuals have read and appreciate the artistry of The Grapes of Wrath. When I was in Moscow, the most popular foreign pictures were Jungle and Thief of Bagdad. Both were heavily attended. With the wolves). They are tremendously formal people not because they are Communists but because they are Russians. When they throw an official shebang, everything must be just so, from oyster forks to medals. No wonder they were offended when Winston Churchill, visiting Moscow during the raids, turned up at Stalins dinner in his siren suit. A czar-igrand duke might be understood, but not these earnest Socialists. As Russians they must be spectacularly lavish; as Communists they must worry about the forks. In the middle of the good will toasts, Molotov breaks a big piece of news; tells us that today they are launching an offensive to with our landing in Normandy. In the major drive which presently followed toward Warsaw and East Prussia, no one can say they did not keep faith scraping their manpower barrel, throwing and boys into the line. Their sacrifices from-thstandpoint of manpower have been ghastly. Back of the front you see no young men who arent either in uniform or limping with a wound, except the few who are in high administrative jobs. And you see absolutely no men between sixteen and forty at the factory benches. Following the Molotov, dinner, we told the correspondents of the announced attack, since it had already been launched and, of course, they filed the story. It was then stopped in censorship. The censors pointed out it had not yet appeared in Prav-d- a. It is a rule of Russian censorship that nothing is officially true which has not been printed in a Russian paper. Pravda got around to printing the news of the offensive three days later. Tomorrow, says Kirilov, we go for ride in private steamboat down to Volga River and return. He There will and here his stops. large sleepy eyes seem to be doing their best to gleam be girls. Even our Russian hosts realize that after our busy schedule, we need a rest. Our idea of a program for this would be a milk toast diet. Theirs, of course, wins and differs slightly. It is a trip by boat down the famous canal connecting Moscow with the Volga River. Some correspondents are also invited. We are driven . to the landing place a huge and almost completely deserted station about the size of the Kansas City or the Cleveland Union Terminals. Its architecture is pretentious. It is and built with shoddy materials. It towers dramatically above the canal, which is reached by a preposterously wide flight of steps I would guess fifty of them which are dominated by a titanic statue of Stalin. At the bottom is our boat, a streamlined version of a Mississippi River steamer. To entertain us they have brought three of the plump operetta artistes. They were better .by candlelight. Now we see a few double chins we had overlooked. They arrive in very formal dresses, but ' soon change. Its like date night at the Old Ladies Home. Yet everybody is trying pathetically hard to show us a good time. The paddles are churning through the new, white silk curtains I see the bank moving so I go on deck. On one of the long padded wicker divans, Johnson is already stretched out, shirtless for a sun bath. Two sailors, under Kirilovs supervision, come trundling out a trailing a cable.

I did see, however, one excellent Russian picture, and did not need the language to understand and be moved by it. The story concerned a green cadet, very much on his good behavior, who arrives with his kit bag to join a veteran fighter squadron. He is at first genially hazed by the rest, gradually gets experience, shows his mettle and is slowly accepted. It depicted some and improbable highly corned-u-p shots of air fights, but these flights of fancy were no more distorted than the ones dreamed up in Hollywood swivel chairs. All nations tend to play up their own battle exploits and to neglect their Allies, and America is, in this respect, a frequent offender. But certainly Red Army advances are decently covered in stories, maps, and pictures both in American newspapers and newsreels. . The Soviet Union, by contrast, almost never shows pictures of foreign battle fronts in its popular theaters. landings in Norto the intelli-- . shown were mandy gentsia and to high Red Army officers, who might have a technical interest in how we handle landing operations, but they were not released to the general public. As a result, the average Russian firmly and logically believes that his government has until recently borne, not most of the war burden, but all Anglo-Americ- an of it. From time to time Stalin makes statements which are both realistic and generous to his Allies. Rather recently he predicted that Soviet soil would soon be cleared of the invader and the armies could then proceed to follow the Fascist beast and crush him in his lair, adding that this would not be possible out the combined efforts of all the Allies.

It grew up in the days when the Bolshevik Party denounced fidelity as a bourgeois fetish and proclaimed the new freedom in these matters, along with dilegalized abortion and post-car- d vorce. But even in those days the reputation was unfounded, for although divorce could be had for the asking (and some individuals got dozens), the rate for Russia asa whole was less than the American divorce rate. The average Russian seemed reasonably content with one awe-inspiri- ng wife. Now divorce is difficult and abortion illegal in Russia and promiscuity politically unfashionable.
