4 The Newi-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tue., Moy 10, 1949 Russian Explanation Of Scientific Claims Is Major Invention Of All By JAMES THRASHER Soviet propagandists, who have laid claim to all those Inventions on behall of their countrymen, have at last invented something themselves. It is an explanation credited to non-Russians like Edison and the Wright brothers. The Navy publication Red Fleet explains It thus: "The struggle for priority in capitalist countries merges into a struggle to ascriDe as many scientific discoveries as possible to the scholars of one's own na tionality and race at the expense of other nationalities and races. The more rapacious and piratic the imperialism of the given country, the more Insolent and crude Is the 'spiritual expansion' of its historians of science." There you have It, neat as a mathematical formula. False claims of achievement for a coun try's scientists are in direct pro portion to the imperialistic ambi tions of a country's government. Silly as that sounds, the propa gandists must have thought it necessary to come up with some story. For a lot of Russians prob ably have wondered how it was, even if their propagandists spoke the truth,- that this wrong im pression about electric lights and airplanes and such had been so persistent for so many years. '200 Years of Lies' Now it's all clear. The discrep ancy fits right in with the west's pattern of "imperialism." Further, the western countries had been telling these imperialistic lies for a couple of hundred years. But It may be that a few of the more logical-minded Russians are still wondering as they read the honor roll of their unsung invent ors. There was the remarkable Lomonossov, for Instance. Ac cording to Soviet propaganda, he discovered the secrets of atomic energy and cosmic rays and-also made a clockwork model of a helicopter back In the 1750s. It was Ivan Polzunov, not James Watt, who invented the steam engine. Russians gave the world the caterpillar tractor be fore 1850, and several types of tractor motors in the second half of the 19th century. One Lady gin beat Edison to the electric light by six years.

And so on. Some Pointed Questions Reading these claims and per haps believing them, the logical- minded Russian must wonder why It was that other countries not only took these discoveries but also developed them. Czarist Russia, he knows, was bad. But how could this scientific progress have- flourished In the monarcho-monopoly- capitalist countries, which he knows were just as bad? And why Is it that none of these wonderful Russian achieve ments were made after the revo lution? Assuming the genius of Russian scientists, our logical minded friend may ask why this genius, growing in the ideal soil of communism, has not produced a bumper crop of inventions. Why didn't some of his Soviet comrades come forth with such things as radar, synthetic rubber, nylon, the jet plane and the atomic bomb? Even after all the propagant 1st s' explanations, our Russian might be forgiven for wondering if (here was some flaw In their picture of his best of all possible governments surrounded hy the worst of all possible Imperialistic aggression.

UP) Two men were sought today In the attempted beating of the manager of a lithographing plant which has been picketed for the last five weeks. Police said George W. Evans, production manager of the Bus kong Company plant, was drag ged from the doorway of his home Saturday night, and set upon hy two men. Arthur J. Markewitz, general manager of the company, who was visiting Evans at the time, came to the rescue and drove off the two assailants. Markewitt told police he recog nized one of the men as a mem ber of the CIO Lithographers Un ion, which has been picketing the plant. The union president, James Lowman, however, said that he doubted that the attack ers were members of his union. Loman, emphasizing that all union members had been warned against any violence, launched an Investigation of his own. "We are checking on the activities of each of our members at the time of the alleged attack," he said. "So far, like the police, we have not found any evidence of foul play."
