The New Russia—No. 12 AMERICANS FIND LIFE IN RUSSIA HAS DRAWBACKS i Frontier Aspect Everywhere and You Must Make Your Own Way. BY JULIA RLANSHARD Staff Writer for NEA Service and The rimes. Sent to Soviet Russia Etpeciallv for Thia Series. (CoDvricht. 1931. NEA Service. Inc.) If you were an American living in Moscow, you would discover that proletarian Russia knows how to treat a privileged class. You probably would belong to that class. Only foreigners do. There are approximately 20,000 in Russia today You would find that you could buy the best Russian cigarets which Russians themselves can not buy. You could stay at the best hotel, travel on the best trains, and trade at Torgsin, the only well-stocked store in Moscow. This privilege comes from the might of your almighty dollars. For Russia needs foreign money to pay for the millions of dollars’ worth of machinery she has bought in Europe and America to forward her Five-Year Plan. Smart Colonel Cooper She needs it, too, to pay the American and European experts she has hired to help install this machinery. One good way to get dollars is to exchange goods with you for them. All Russians understand why you are privileged, and do not resent it. How you live and what you eat depends largely on what reasons you have for being in Russia. Down at Dnciprostroi, I was amazed to find a little American colony that looked exactly like a New Jersey suburb. There was a charming sixroom brick bungalow for each family, built according to American specifications with bathrooms, fireplaces, tinted walls and' the only screened porches length and oreadth of Russia. Colonel Hugh Cooper got all this in his contract. He also got his men the privilege of shipping in American canned goods. For dinner down there one day we had a delicious five-course meal, all out of American canned goods! Colonel Cooper also specified that his corps must receive pay from the Soviet government in dollars. Had No Foresight Af Karkov I visited the homes of three American mechanical engineers whose companies had no such foresight. They lived in tworoom and bath apartments in the regular Soviet apartment houses and couldn’t even ship in American cigarets. Moreover, they were paid in rubles. Today in Russia the ruble is officially worth half a dollar. It often will not buy a tenth of that, because the best goods in Russia can only be bought for dollars now. If you were an American in Moscow you would belong to one of the three official divisions of foreigners. 1. You migh be an electrical expert or an insulator specialist. If so, you would hold a government food card entitling you to trade at the store for engineers and specialists. No Cards for Tourists 2. You might be a journalist and hold a food card on the journalist and embassy store. 3. You might be a transient business man or salesman and come under the category of tourist. They hold no food cards and usually live at a hotel. Last summer there were 10.000 tourists. Both of the stores on w'hich the government issues food cards for foreigners are much better stocked than the Russian co-operatives. Life for an American in Moscow has much of the frontier aspect to it. You get used to expecting and giving help to anyone who needs it. You get used to doing many things for yourself that you never did before. Some like it. Others do not. But * typical American business man, a ‘ Babbitt,” we met at the Metropole bar one night summed up this feeling that many have. It Has Drawing Power ‘‘Hello. Peter,” we all greeted him. Someone said to him. “Hear you are going out to Berlin tomorrow night. Guess you won’t be sorry to have a steak dinner at the Adlon?” “Well, I’ll tell you,” Peter answered. “The delay in this noman’s land is enough to give you nervous prostration. I get so tired of scratching when I have to go into small towns that I don’t know w'hat to do. “And the monotony of the food some times makes me wonder why I eat. But drab as it is. do you know, 1 can t get even as far out as Berlin without wishing I was coming back!” (THE ENDI Sues ‘Too Proper’ Husband By United press CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—Naomi Shedden believes her husband was too strait-laced to live with.

TELEVISION IS HERE —FOR EXPERIMENT

Machines Won’t Be Ready for Home Use for Some Time. BY JOHN HAWKINS Radio Editor The Times Remember the day, some time during 1923, 1924 or 1925, when the neighborhood was startled with the radio reception achieved by some experimental genius down the street? Remember the admiring “oh’s” and “ah’s” that greeted the so-called musical programs that issued from the radio headset? Perhaps, if the experimenter had more cash, it was a cheap, tinny horn. Compare the radio reception of those days with the perfect tone and ease of operation of today’s radio receivers and you have a fairly good idea of what television is today. Stewart’s radio, on Thirty-eighth street, has one of the few workable television sets in Indianapolis and Monday night the writer was invited to come out and see what a television picture looked like. There were pictures, real pictures that moved and talked and looked human —at times. Tuning in the television signal calls for just about everything the would-be looker has to offer. First is the finding of the signal. You hook up the speaker instead of the visual apparatus and fish around the dial for the high-pitched whine that signifies a visual broadcast signal. It is easily recognizable. Then switch back to the television machine and carefully tinker with a couple of dials. For a fleeting fraction of a second a faint image appears in the lens through which you are looking, then it is gone. You try some more. All this time you are looking

through a magnifying glass, about three inches wide, at what apper*s to be a pink square, cut with many horizontal black lines. When the picture is seen it takes form immediately and either stays or is gone. It does not come in slowly or fade out gradually as in a sound broadcast. The pictures Monday night—and they are representative of all the present-day television programs were head and shoulder studies of different artists in black with the pink glow of the neon tube for highlights. Detailed expression is a goal yet to be reached, as the only movement capable of being caught by the transmitter was something that affected the entire subject, such as turning the head or moving the lips in singing. For the experimenter, television is here. For the average home, it decidedly is not. UTILITY RATES SLASH DISCUSSED BY EDITOR Shcrman-Emerson Civic Leagne Hears Boyd Gurley. Reduction of utility rales was discussed by Boyd Gurley, editor of The Times, at the monthly meeting of the Sherman-Emerson Civic League Tuesday night. Samuel Harris uYged the club to join in the present fight for lower water and light rates. A public debate on prohibition will be held at the club’s next meeting, Dec. 8, Mrs. W. E. Heyer, president, announced. Work of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association was explained by R. I. Richardson and Gustav Schmidt of the Butler-Fairview Civic League spoke on the bus and truck line situation.

promontory extending into Lake Michigan, and at the head of the promontory is Thunder mountain, one of the scenic attractions of western Michigan. Thunder mountain is said to reverberate with a deep rolling thunder, sometimes when there is not a cloud in the sky and the waters of the lake are as smooth as a millpond. The exact scientific explanation for the strange noises of the mountain is not known, but reputable citizens of the vicinity vouch for the fact that it can be heard miles away on a particularly clear day.

G. 0. P. FACING DISSOLUTION, IS i BUTLEITS-VIEW Educator Points to Whigs as Example; Lays Down 14-Poir\t Program. w By T nitrd Pre*s NEW YORK. Nov. 18.—Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler has laid down fourteen points tc guide the Republican party in 1932. Butler addressee' members of the National Republican Club of New York Tuesday night, suggesting they ponder the late of the Whigs in 1852-56. He said he saw a parallel between the two in which one party died and anew one was born.Repeal of the eighteenth amendment stands first in Butler’s declaration of principles. Only under state control can the liquor traffic be controlled adequately, he said. Butler's second point calls for reconstruction ot existing tariff schedules. Next in importance, Butler declared, is the balancing of the budget. His other points: Hearty co-operation with such international institutions which have been set up for peace and the good order of the world. Examine anew and without delay the whole question of war debts. Take immediate steps to disarmament as a national policy. Amend the Constitution so as to bring a newly elected congress into session within two months of its time of election. Speedy establishment in the several states of a system of social insurance. Those natural resources of the people which remain under their control shall not be alienated. That legislation shall be enacted to protect the railroads of the United States from unfair and unregulated competition. That the whole matter cf pres-ent-day industry shall be studied, with a view to taking such steps on the part of the government as may be needed to enable industry to adjust itself to the new conditions. To hold an international conference without delay on the monei tary question. j That the basic industry of farm- ; ing requires special consideration. That the wasteful bureaucracy which has grown up in Washingj ton be curbed.
