* * go Times Fureign Correspondent ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 31. —The Shviets are mobilizing intellectuals for & great propaganda campaign against the western world. “This is the reason for the violent purge which the Kremlin has been administering to Soviet arts and letters the past several weeks. The purge is intended to serve "Wo purposes: “ONE: To, eliminate writers and " other. intellectuals who have not Been hostile enough to the western world- to suit the Kremlin, TWO: “To encourage the others” ~to0 frighten all Russian intellectuals into embracing official party dogma with more ardor. ‘An officially-sponsored Russian author, Konstantin M. Simonov, has » just let this cat out of the bag in Moscow. Mr, Simonov proclaims that Russian intellectuals must now rally to g ‘vigorous and unrelenting” attack on western, “middle class” culture. "Josef Stalin himself has said that writers are “the engineers of the Soul,” and they are now to serve as “military engineers of the soul” in the great offensive. . All-other intellectuals also are io fight in the new campaign. ; “Even “a playwright. must be a politician,” says Mr. Simonov, and same thing applies to actors, trical and motion picture producers, and directors, composers, United Press Staff Correspondent grchestra leaders, authors and BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 27—The everybody else who can influence people of this land of plenty, who the human soul. | had all they needed to wear or eat Reports from Moscow show that|quring the war, are now feeling fhe campaign which Simonov Pro- | inflationary shortages that governclaims will be one of huge propor-! ment counter-measures have not tions. countered.

FOUND IN AFRICA
By Science Service NEW YORK, Nov, 27, — Orchids that you can eat are a possibility of future American gardens. These strange plants are among the 11,000 specimens of flowering plants and ferns brought back to the New York botanical garden by an expedition into mountainous Nyasaland, in the most inaccessible part of east Africa, under the leadership of Arthur 8. Vernay. These orchids, unlike the highly ornamental species that perch on the limbs of trees, grow in the ground like ordinary plants. The natives dig up their tubers, cook them elaborately, and eat them with cornmeal, They will be grown in the botanical garden's greenhouses here, along with 60 other kinds of orchids.

LONDON, O,, Nov. 27.—John Snell
came ofit of the army with two purple hearts, five battle stars and no hands. . Hands or no hands, his post-war record to date is one that many a veteran hopes to duplicate, Sympathy is the last thing Mr. Snell needs. is ” He is sucoéssfully earning his own living. He married his childhood sweetheart. He commands his local Veterans of Foreign Wars post. And he sees no reason why everything isn't going to continue just as good, or maybe even better, in the future. Heard Frightening Tick’ A time clerk in pre-war days, Mr. Snell became a corporal in the 18th regiment of the famous 1st Division. During street fighting in Bonn, Germany, Mr. Snell heard a frightening “tick” from one of the hand grenades dangling from his belt. Somehow the pin in one of the
grenadés had caught in the harness and accidentally was pulled. Mr. Snell grabbed the grenade in. both hands, hoping to rip it loose and throw it. He was too late. The grip probably saved his life by absorbing part of the blast, but it cost him his hands. Got Him ‘Down’ Loss of his hands got Mr. Snell down “for sure” in the early days of his hospitalization. Then he decided the army's hooks weren't so bad. After six months, the army let him go home to London. His old job was out, Mr. Snell decided, but selling trucks wasn’t. He got a job with a sales agency here and went out to find some business. He talked to everyone who might conceivably be interested in a truck, and even made a personal survey of all 193 truck owners in Madison county, It gave him a wide acquaintance that soon started
carge, the 24-year-old veteran piled up such a sales record and showed so much enthusiasm that the sales director of a big truck manufacturer invited him to the plant in Detroit.
He drove a new truck home, for delivery to ong of his customers. Mr. Snell felt that as well as his hand hooks worked, they could still work better, In his old flishing tackle box he found the answer, By replacing the rigid wires that controlled the artificial hands with ordinary fishing line swivels he gave the hooks more flexibility and made writing much easier. A manufacturer already is using his improvement to help other handless veterans. i Childhood Sweetheart
Last month Mr, Snell married his childhood sweetheart, Jean Yoakum, Dundee, Mich., who had grown
to pay dividends,

EDIBLE ORCHIDS Disabled Veteran Finds Loss of His Hands Is No Handicap
Less than a year after his dis- mit Hill. He put the wedding ring
on her finger himself. Today Mr. Snell has come a long way from the G. I. whose hands and future were shattered by a grenade explosion. He's working, not worrying, and if everything keeps on as it is now, he foresees the day when he will have his own agency.
