Russian-Made Piano Model Of Imperfection NEW YORK, July l.-OB This is the story of V. Konstanti nov and his piano, as related -in the Literary Gazette of Moscow: "I liked the piano very much In the store. But as soon as the in strument was delivered to my apartment, disillusionment and chagrin set in. First of all, the key was badly fitted to the lock and, only yielded to very strong pressure. The woodwork facing of the body of the piano in bright light I discovered small cracks and uneven lacquer. In the course of a week several keys began to stick and others utterly ceased to produce sound, ... "The piano tuner warned that the piano would 'play tricks' for another year and only after this period would work properly," . . The piano, it seems, was manu factured by the Red October fac tory in Leningrad. Konstantinov again: . "Accompanying the piano was a return reply card in which the factory management requested information on any shortcomings in the instrument. Unfortunately, this modest postcard is too small for all my grievances against the comrades of the Red October fac tory." The Literary Gazette has been conducting a campaign against "unattractive and poorly made goods." Konstantinov's . plaint, nrinted amnnc Ipttorc ffnm ers, was translated by the current digest' of the Soviet Press.

Russia Muffles U. S. Radio 'Voice,1 But Discovers Silence Expensive By BRUCE BIOSSAT. '. -The State Department credits Russia with winning the first phase of its big radio war with the United States and Britain. But the victory apparently was costly. And it may prove a hol low triumph, too, for it suggests that Winston Churchill was right when he said the Russian leaders are afraid to be friendly with us. Russia has always tried to in terfere on a minor scale with western broa-'casts of news beamed to the Soviet Union. When the Berlin blockade was lifted, however, this "jamming" was stepped up tremendously. The action was a clear sign the Soviet leaders did not want any version but their own getting to Russian ears. Jamming may take many forms. The jamming transmitter comes on the air at or near the airlane used by the foreign broadcaster, and lets fly with, squawks, buzzing, ear-splitting music, a gibberish of talk, any thing at all that might drown out the offending program. Since the end of the blockade, the Russians have been playing this game hard. Our "Voice of America" officials report that they have tripled the number of stations devoted to jamming, un til some 205 transmitters do nothing else. Our "Voice" people have not submitted to this campaign easily. We have increased the number of transmitters in ser vice and plan still more. We have resorted to every device we can think up to break through the interference screen. Our programs stay on around the clock. Transmitters change wave lengths (airlanes) in the middle of a broadcast, hoping any Russian listeners have enough' sense to fish elsewhere and pick up some words of truth before the jamming station catches on. We teach our broad casters to speak clearly and loud, so they may be heard above the din. This fighting response has driven the Russians to extremes. Tripling their total of jamming stations has meant cutting down the number of domestic pro grams in the Soviet Union and has crippled Russian propaganda broadcasts to foreign listeners. At this heavy price, says the State Department, the Russians have largely beaten us. Our pro grams now are getting through "only In spots," officials say. But one wonders how long the Soviet leaders can continue this extravagant desperation. One wonders, too, if the Rus sians have any idea how great an admission of fear their jam ming war really Is. The few westerners allowed Into Russia gain no real know ledge of life in a Communist world. Nor are Russians permit ted to learn of the West from their visitors. That Communist leaders now feel compelled to extend this veil of ignorance to the airlanes Is evidence their people must be trying to find out what the rest of the world is actually like. It lends weight to Churchill's view: The Russian bosses can not' afford to accept western friendship. They are concealing too much, both from their own people and from us. They have everything to lose. What else but fear could explain this fren zied torrent of meaningless sounds against mere news broadcasts? Idaho Spokesman Urges State Disaster Agencies PORTLAND, July 1 UP) Establishment of disaster agen cies in each Western state was urged here by Idaho's Attorney General Robert E. Smylie. In an address to the Western States Safety Council, Smylie said he estimated such an agency could be created in Idaho for $5,000 a year. Smvlie said a civil defense statute suggested by the Office of Defense Planning was "un necessarily complex and unneces sarily burdened with administra tive overneaa. He said In the past 20 months a disaster organization could have been used in Idaho four times during the North Idaho floods last spring and summer; during the communication, transporta tion and supply breakdowns last winter because of abundant snow fall; the butane gas explosion at Nampa In November, 1947, and "in providing a means of coor dinating the far flung activities which we in IdHho undertake to guard our magnificent forests and scenic resources." Smylie said damage from the Northern Idaho floods last year could have been reduced if the state had "an adequate statutory basis for coordination and plan ning." .

Continued Ban On Jap , Fishermen Is Advised SEATTLE, July 1 (m-r The continued closure of coastal waters of all the Allied powers to Japanese fishermen was rec ommended in a report by a special American fisheries miss ion released yesterday through the U.

The report '. which followed a survey of the Japanese fishing industry, further urged that "it be made clear to the Japanese that subsidies on export of fish or 'dumping' . will not be tolerated." v . v Blood Donors Rush To Aid Wounded Eskimo Boy NOME, Alaska, July 1 CP) A 16-year-old Eskimo boy was re ported resting easier in a Nome hospital today after a call for blood donors brought such a res ponse that a second message had to rje broadcast to nait me rusn. Mike Olen accidentally shot himself in the leg while hunting near his native town of St. Michael, about 120 miles from here. He dragged himself to a cabin. A radiophone call brought a plane winging from Nome, to return hitrl here. ' At the hosDltal. Dr. Fred Lane- sam Issued a call for blood don ors, type B. The call was relayed over the local army' radio sta tion WXLN. and the resultinir flood of donors, both military and civilian, proved more than the hospital could handle. Doctors have removed the bul let from Mike's leg, but his con dition is sllll regarded as critical. nv vu vV. , - AN W Phone 730-J-5 SLABW00D In 12-1 6 and 24 In. length OLD GROWTH FIR DOUBLE LOADS WESTERN BATTERY SEPARATOR - Phone (98 K5E02E S ' ' ' ' ! i ICD1?
