KEY DATA FOR
HUNT SEASONS
COMMUNISM'S IN TROUBLI
Behind the mask of friendliness
now being worn by the Communist
leaders in Moscow are cunning
minds at work desperately schem-
ing for time. But time for what?
The Communists have two great,
urgent needs which they have
learned cannot be served during . up 'T'1
*~---^vjf'^iw|lhe...ex£ension 0f industry in the
Jit* r.__non tommuriisT West. Living stan-
a continuation of the
tension: (1) They must make Com
munism a little more acceptable
to the 900 million people behind
the Iron Curtain who are beginn-
ing to see that harsh dictatorship,
chronic poverty, and a hovering
threat of famine are "fruits” of the
"New Order," and (2) They must
somehow halt and dissipate the
gathering defensive strength of
the U.S.A. and her allies.
sattelites—by increasing civilian
production and with the aid of
trade with the free nations. The
living standard is variously esti-
mated as onesixth to one-tenth
as good as ours. Any improvement,
however small by our standards,,
might well pacify the people and
renew their hope under Commu-
Undermine Our Strength
Meantime, in the field of mili-
tary strength, the Communists’ de-
ception, if successful, would tend
very son toward a relaxing of vig-
ilance in the West and^indoubted-
ly a substantial reduction in the
costly buildup for defense. Lead-
ers, and people, in the free world
want to use the money, now being
spent on armament, for construc-
tive purposes. And with Western
nations experiencing a phony
“peace," the Kremlin's economic
planners could briefly shift em-
phasis from military to urgent civ*
ilian production needs, especially
food, clothing and housing.
President Eisenhower won a
propaganda victory at Geneva, the
first major one ever to come out
of talks with the Communists. But
aside from that, the Reds seem to
have gotten what they wanted at
Geneva — a receptive world audi-
ence for their newest technique
let action. The Reds will accept It
only if it can be fitted Into their
long-range strategic move* toward
conquering the United States
Whatever the outcome of the Pres-
ident’Si challenge, we muat not lose
in the deadly strategic game Mos
cow is playing with the false pose
of peacefulness.

No Chang* in Strategy
In a companion article the U.S.
NEWS interviews Nikolai E.
Khokhlov, who served 13 years in
the Soviet Intelligence Service be-
for renouncing Communism and
escaping1 Russia in 1994. He cor-
rectly predicted the downfall of
Malenkov, and is considered a re-
liable source of information being
relayed secretly to him by anti-
communists within Russia. "It is
now in the Soviet interest, at least
for the next few years,” he said,
“to persaude the West to accept
the idea of coexistence.”
“You mean the Soviets have
given up their idea of overthrow-
ing capitalism, of conquering the
world?" "No, not at all,” he 6aid,
"this is simply a new tactic, but
still a part of the same old long-
time strategy.” At another point
in the interview, Khokhlov says:
“The first and most dangerous
enemy of the Soviet system is the
oppressed, enslaved people them-
selves . . . But don’t think that
Soviet internal problems can make
the rulers change from Commu-
nism to democracy. That'x irm>os-
sible." The West can help, he said,
not by aggrandizing Soviet lead
ers and aiding them o(it of their
troubles, but by remaining strong

Stains from perspiration, fruit

Classifly the stain before apply-
ing the remover Moat stains can
be classified as a grease, sugar or
syrup, coloring matter, or resinous
or gummy substances.
Next, classify the fabric. Textile
fibers are divided into different
classes or as blends: Animal fibers
such as wool and silk; 'vegetable
fibers such as cotton and linen;
synthetic fibers such aa rayon,
nylon, dacron, etc. These groups
react differently to heat, sunlight,
moisture and to different cleaning
agents.
After the material and the stain
have been classified, apply the
proper stain remover.
