WELL at last we have the word! Gotham is grue-

iployed idlers striking longshoremen and bankers
lese last lurk in a lair called Wall Street "the street
big business and the empire of the dollar."
What's the authority for this grim portrait of the
lorld's largest city? Why none other than the Soviet
llevision network which has been edifying its audience
lith a series of "documentary" films about life in the
Inited States. One of these called "Streets of New
lork" introduces the city as "the show window of
Imerica" and proceeds to make it a pretty smeary
ine of glass.
This approach is scarcely unexpected of
course. Soviet TV wouldn't be likely to picture
New York in terms of Central Park Radio City
the Easter Parade and Lincoln Center for the Per
forming Arts. But it is a pity that the six million
Russians fortunate enough to own television sets
couldn't be treated to something of the excitement
and splendor of a metropolis whose current building
boom is one of the marvels of the century.
Granted that New York has staggering urban pro-
llems. It's not all Park Avenue and it doesn't have
loscow's marble-paneled subways. In fact almost any
Jew Yorker will sound off with a list of things about
|is city he doesn't like. But much as he gripes about
)me things he loves the city.

scouting to more than 20 boys
during 1962.
Lt. Green became cubmaster

to bring scouting to more boys
When asked how he felt about
winning the award Lt. Green

us to receive this award. I only
hope that next year we can get
twice as many boys."
The award was presented to
