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." .

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.
