In the Sunday edition of the
New York Times Magazine Section
of May 15, there is a fascinating,
enlightening and highly interesting
article of the great tradition of the
Imperial Russian Ballet, with, as
the sub-title states, Soviet addi
tions.
This essay was written by one
of the world’s foremost newspaper
correspondents of today. (Anybody
who works for the Time s has to be
tops in his field.) The by line
of this study of the Russian Ballet
Theater reads Clifton Daniel. But
to the home folks he is just E. C.,
Jr.
I had occasion to talk to Mrs.
Daniel, the correspondent’s moth
er, who by the way is one of the
most charming and lovely persons
imaginable, sometime after read
ing the article. In turiji, she gave
me a little pamphlet distributed to
the paper’s staff which is news
about the Times’ men and women
who get the paper out.
In this pamphlet is an article
written by E. C., Jr., letter-like
and folksy, about his six months
and then some in the Soviet Union
working as a correspondent for his
newspaper. I shall pass some of
this on to you, and am sure that
you like me will find it most in
formative and readable.
He begins by saying that for one
thing his waistline has become
very much reduced, having lost fif
teen pounds since leaving the
States. This, he hastens to add,
is not from a famine, but from ir
regular hours and overwork.
“I don’t believe I have written
so much and worked so hard since
I covered my first session of the
North Carolina Legislature and
turned out anything from two
to five columns a night.”
He mentions the fact that he
had three stories on the front
page of the Times in one day. He
takes no particular credit for this
triple play, but goes on to say:
“The stories just happened, and I
wrote them.”

Being the only correspondent
for his paper in one of the biggest
countries of the world makes for
an overwhelming task, E. C. re
ports. The coverage is so great,
what with trying to cover all as
pects of Soviet life and policy, and
trying to write for all departments
of his paper.
E. C., Jr. says that his staff con
sists of one translator, one driver,
and himself. By contrast, when he
was in London there were four
correspondents. He adds, too, that
press conferences on foreign mat
ters have become more frequent
in the past six months.
Another interesting aspect of
Soviet life is that the people have
only one edition of a newspaper a
day. This edition comes out any
where from 2 to 5 in the morning.
Working from foreign newspa
papers, he says, means that all in
formation has first to be translat
ed. It is necessary to translate two
or thrpe times as much as you ac
tually use or more. It may take
an hour to translate one piece that
will be enough for two-thirds of
a column of type.
“Sometimes, for a background
article, my translator and I may
spend parts of several days gather
ing material. She read and digested
a whc le book for my Magazine
piece on the Bolshoi Theatre Cho
reographic School.” (This is the
article I mentioned at the begin
ning of the column.)
E. C., Jr. says that he still can’t
conduct an interview in Russian,
even with the intensive seven
weeks’ course that he had a Co
lumbia University last summer. He
admits that he is still learning
though, slowly, with a lesson every
day.
Travel in the Soviet Union is
very slow indeed compared to the
American mode, E. C., Jr. says.
He was speaking of rail travel.
They average only about eighteen
miles an hour.
All cars on long-distance trains
are sleeping cars. There are “soft”
The Home 0/ Zebulon Mutual Burial Association

cars and “hard” cars. A “soft”
car has upholstered seats and mat
tresses; a “hard” car is furnished
with wooden seats.
In the “soft” cars there are com
partments, each with four berths.
In the “hard” cars the wooden
seats are used at night for berths.
There are fifty-eight of these and
no compartments or curtains.
“When it is time to retire, the
gentlemen withdraw to the corri
dor for a final smoke. Once in
bed, the women turn their faces to
the wall, the gentlemen disrobe,
and the lights go out.”
Each railway car carries a sam
ovar an urn for mawing tea. It
is kept steaming by stoking it with
charcoal. Two middle-aged wo
men, in this case, tended it. They
also sweep and dust, take tickets,
and handle the signal lamps and
flags.
E. C., Jr. also says that there is
no contemporary abstract art in
the Soviet Union. Too, vodka, cog
nac, wines and beer are plentifully
consumed here, but they are not
advertised in the newspapers or
magazines.
E. C., Jr. is now on a 2,000 mile
trip through the Soviet Union. On
this trip he is visiting and will
visit many of the outer towns and
cities, farms and villages, reporting
the life and condition of the Soviet
citizen as he sees it.
Mrs. Daniel who hears f: om her
son regularly says that he seems
very happy with his present as
signment. She says E. C., Jr. en
joys any type of news coverage,
but Jeans toward political report
ing.
