CRISIS STARE REACH* IN PEACE PARLEY
INSIDE THE USSR I
Propaganda Potent
Tool In Red Hands
,/* By DONALD J. GONZALES
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug 1— (W —Ceaseless, propaganda
is one potent weapon used by Soviet Communism to main
tain its power inside Russia and to expand its power
abroad.
Russia today holds the advantage in world word war
fare. 4 T-T”"
At home, Soviet propaganda trumpets th% advantages
of Communism and seeks to frighten the Russian people
against the “boogey-man” of capitalist
Away from home, Soviet propa
ganda plays on suspicion, unrest,
disorder, and dlssentlon to soften
resistance to Communism.
For example, the Soviet people
were told on June 1 by a Moscow
commentator:
“From the very beginning of its
existence, the Sonet state sur
rounded children with universal
attention ,and solicitude. Children
from working families in capitalist
countries suffer from undernour
ishment. They are deprived to ele
mentary living conditions.
“In the United States, exploita
tion of child labor has assumed
unheard of scope (lunger and need
compel millions of American child
ren to leave school and find work
in factories, works, and farms.”
LIES PILED ON LIES
On- the same day, Moscow told
European listeners that Marshal
Tito of Yugoslavia was selling out
to “U. S. warmongers," that the
United States planned to occupy
Seandhiavi*, that the Shah of lim>
was cooking up a military co^,
Asian Bsteners were told the
same day that the United States
was “viciously plotting to revive
Japanese militarism." Latin Amer
icans were told that the Colombian
president. Laureano Gomez, was
“faithfully following the fascist
Ideals of Hitler, MussoHna and
Franco.”
Three days later, the Russian
people were, told, by Moscow that
“the monstrous character of crim
inality in the countries of im
perialism and its growth are a
. clear demonstration of the collapse'
of the rotten capitalist system.
Capitalism and criminality are. in
separable."
The effectiveness of exported
Soviet propaganda is difficult to

"Drastic” Move
Needed To Break
Talk Deadlock
By Earnest Hoberecht
UP Staff Correspondent
PEACE CAMP, Korea;
Wed.— (IP) —A deadlock in
cease - fire negotiations at
Kaesong neared the crisis
stage today and United Na
tions officials predicted that
nothing less than “drastic
action” would break it.
* There were hints that an entirely
new approach might be made to
the question of a buffer zone be
tween the U. N. and Communist
armies along the 135-mile Korean
war front.
BTILL BLOCKED
For the sixth day, the negotia
tions were stalled by a Commu- j
nlst demand that the zone be fixed
along the 38th Parallel instead of
the present front, which is almost
entirely in North Korean territory.
What “drastic action' might be
taken to break the deadlock no
body would forecast.
There seemed to be no thought of
breaking off the talks. It was
known at the start that the negotia
tions would be tedious apd that the
Communists would bargain hard
for the 38th Parallel line. That
would give them an enormous ad
vantage because it affords no good
defense territory for the U. N.
armies.
CONSULTATIONS SUGGESTED
It has been suggested that a re
cess might be called while the res
pective delegations consult their

New Device
Used In Tests
The Department of Motor Ve
hicles is now using a new device
known as an Ortha-ratur, in test
ing the vision for driver’s licenses.
It is said 1 that this procedure is
much more efficient in uncovering
defective vision than the old letter
chart system.
Since this new procedure of vis
ion checking by driver’s license ex
aminers has been in use, profess
ional eye examiners have been
getting numerous requests from the
general public for eye examinations
and glasses that will enable them
to secure their driving license. This
would seem to indicate that the
new tests are contributing a worth
while service toward Highway saf
ety.
