That was not published for the Soviet people to
read. Instead, they read in Pravda and heard on the
Moscow radio home service:
Pravda. July 11: “In actual fact, President Eis-
enhower let it ba understood that the United States
intends to continue its interference in the internal
affairs of Communist countries and strive to achieve
a rhange in the regimes there. There is no need to
say such statements which by no means show any real
desire to take the path of reducing international ten-
•ion-” — . .
Khrushchev, July 4, to foreign correspondents: “If
we meet as equals semething will come of it. . -I
know we do not want a war and I know that you do
not. If there must be a war, let's be on the same side.
That statement was not read or heard by the Soviet
public. It gets this sort of thing: -
The youth magazine Smena, July 1955 edition:
“The capitalist camp is intensively preparing a new
war and is sending its spies, terrorists and saboteurs
into the Soviet Union. The imperialists are resorting
to all methods to try to undermine the economic and
-- military might of the Soviet state.” ,
PremierBulganin says, “There is no reason to be-
lieve that the basis of a future peace cannot be as-
sured” Pravda, however, hag stated: ,,
“The facts prove convincingly that some people in
the West do not fancy the prospect of a solution of
some international problems. Aggressive circles want
to hamper its work."
All through the Soviet press and the Moscow radio s
home service is threaded the idea that the United
States has approached Geneva with the idea of pre-
venting agreement and blaming the failure on the
Soviet Union.
Automation does not necessarily mean fewer jobs. It
means greater production by more skilled and better
trained workers. It also should mean a higher standard
of living for the workers who can qualify as the new
operatives, as well as to the public generally through
greater production.

out fishing, bathing and scenery;

Soviet propaganda has built up hopes inside Russia

laid the groundwork—carefully abroad and almost
recklessly at home — for dashing these hopes and

What is a napeteria? Well, ac-

Democrats Set
Drive For Their
Minimum Wage
WASHINGTON (N - Confident
Democrats prepared to drive tor
House passage today of a bill to
raise the federal minimum wage
from 75 cents to $1 an hour..
House leaders called up the bill,
anticipating approval before night-
fall. This would send the measure
back to the Senate for adjustment
of a minor difference.
The Senate already has voted
the $1 figure. President Eisenhow-
er asked 90 cents.
The minimum wage covers some
34 million workers for companies
doing interestate business. How-
ever, most of these already make
$1 or more an hour. An estimated
1,100,000—many in the South-
would get automatic raises under
the bill.
Aa the bill came to the floor,
apparently outnumbered adminis-
tration forces were ready to make
a fight for the 90-cent figure. They

cratic support.

Recent articles in Communist Party line publica-
tions are critical of the Russian press, claiming it is
boring and stereotyped. And that is certainly the
truth.
But criticism by the Communist Party journals is
not going to cure the ills of the Russian press. The
Red newspapers are boring because they are not per-
mitted to give the news, being able only to pass along
the propaganda the dictators okay. And the Russian
papers nave a "same-ish” look because they must
alertly listen to the party line and follow it without
"deviation.
That situation is hardly conducive to making
papers interesting, to giving the news, to telling the
Every newspaper—Communist or non-Communist;
Russian or not—has faults, just as people have faults.
But the basic fault in the Communist press was not
mentioned by the party criticizers. The real trouble
with Russia’s newspapers is that they have no free-
