Life Different for Soviet Woven

NOTE: In this exclusive byline story, Matt Cvetic, who for niné years acted as undercover agent for the FBI, tells women what they can do to fight communism on the home front.

By MATT CVETIC

Times Special Writer NEW YORK; Mar. 22 — Try to imagine being married to a man chosen for

you by the government. Think what it would be like to dig ditches and build roads. See if you can visualize having to work until the last six weeks of pregnancy, with strict orders to return to work six weeks after your baby is born, under penalty of starvation. This is no imaginary picture of life. It is just a few of the circumstances under which women in the Soviet Union are forced to live There are many more. These women, for instance, must give up all claims to their children, The babies are taken away from them soon after birth, and put into a nursery home.

” ” » IN SOME CASES, subject to the wishes of the Politburn, mothers may never gee their

babies again. Clothes are allotted and so are Hving accommodations, usually dependent upon the number of people in the family. A Russian’s home, by the way, belongs to the state, and ean be entered at any time without warrant. Food is strictly rationed, and the portions are many times leaner than Britain's at her worst hour. In addition, there is little choice as to variety or quality. The people take what they can get.

1 HAD THE opportunity to look into the lives of the Russian people during the nine years I served as a Communist for the FBI. And 1 was able to gain all this inside knowledge only because I held a high position in the party, You can be sure the Communist leaders in America do not feed the truth to the regular party members. The propaganda they give away paints quite another picture of unity, common interests and fair play.

of the Russian wife and mother, it makes me realize that we Americans have the most powerful weapon against communism in our hands every day of our lives. Your complete freedom, education and unhampered versatility places you, as an American woman, in the position to

serve in your community and home as an avid advocate of democracy. ” » . DON'T BE AFRAID to discuss Russia and communism in front of your children. If they get the wrong facts from out. side sources, they may find themselves sadly misled. Only your efforts, in conjunction with schools, radio, books and newspapers, can teach a true democracy that will mean something to the young people of today. Although I am no longer counter-spying on the Communist Party for the FBI, I atill

; j ll ih Ve FORMER FBI AGENT —Matt Cvetig tells a candid story.

As part of this action, T have been spending much of my time for the last year lecturing to college students; telling them first-hand what I know to be true. I answer their questions; attempt to dispel any doubts they may have. ~ . . AS A FURTHER AID in presenting communism to the American people, so they may better understand what is going on behind the Iron Curtain, I am acting as a consultant for a new radio series, based on my experience in the FBI. Certainly everything must be done to further the cause of democracy and freedom. Join the fight. The need is great. And, whatever you do, don't underestimate the influence you, a8 a woman, can have in safeguarding our country and eur beliefs, The strongest foundation for democracy is built in the home,

Don't Mistake Child's Shame For Cockiness and Defiance

By MURIEL LAWRENCE J PDPIE'S teacher gave out the midterm report cards just before the dismissal bell rang.

Outside, in the noisy school corridor, Eddie opened his folded card. He didn't faint, scream, or clutch his brow. He contemplated the card for a moment or two, then putting it into his pocket, zipped up his windbreaker, slung his books over his shoulder and started hone. Nevertheless, he was in a state of shock. As he reached fresh alr, his brain was already busy flashing along the delicate nerve lanes of his body. “Prepare for enemy action,” radioed Eddie's brain to his bedy--and at once within it, an extraordinary stir, silent and invisible, began to take place,

Mrs. Lawrence * @

HIS BODY'S complex defense systems, alerted now to arm Eddie against his father's reaction to his algebra mark, began to marshal its reserves, pouring stimulants into his bloodstream, tensing his muscles, accelerating his heartbeat until by the time his father came home, Eddie was braced for battle, Nothing could have been less attractive. more. cocky, more defiant than the way he tossed his report card at his father and said, “I've failed in algebra.” He was, of course, ashamed of having failed algebra. Unfortunately, Eddie's father did not perceive his son's shame over his failure. If he had he would have set about putting the shame to a useful purpose. He would have said, "Eddie, too much shame over a failure is as bad as none at all. Every good person fails and every good person is ashamed, sometime or other. Only if they are foolish do they stay ashamed too long."

so that Eddie would come flying out of the false defiance and say to his father, “Oh, Dad, when I saw that 48 on my report card, I wanted to run away and never see anyone I know again

But as Eddie's father did not perceive that his boy was ashamed of his failure, he could not, of course, say what his boy needed to have sald. “ » & WHY DIDN'T he perceive that Eddie was ashamed? Because Fddie's father was in no condition to perceive anything but his own emotions when he learned that his son had failed. His own feelings about the failure were so overwhelming he was quite blind to anything but them. - He was afraid. for example, that his neighbors might think he had begotten a moron instead of a bright and creditable child. He foresaw future embarrassment if Eddie couldn't collect enough credits for the right college. He saw, In Eddie's algebra failure-.the alarming possibility of other, more serious failures. His concern for himself so preoccupied him that in the hour he took to express himself on the subject of Eddie's failure, he never once thought of interrupting himself to say, “And how do you feel about this mark, Fddie?” “ N~ * CHILDREN, like us, are very apt to behave most defiantly when, they are moat ashamed, most in need of the knowledge of their shame. We should try to remember this, so that when they are behaving too arrogantly or abusively, we can say, “My goodness, I don't know what you're so ashamed about, but it certainly can't be as bad as you think it is.” They will be very grateful to us for holding open our communication with them so that they can feel free to admit that they have really felt shame instead of anger, Some parents close this channel of communication with a child and battle with his defiance, instead of helping him utter the shame that is back of it. The shame piles up until it chokes the child, while the blind parent kept on nagging, scolding, and condemning. It is a terrible thing to be a child and have one's shame mistaken for cockiness and defiance.
