S WASHINGTON -UP- The So viet embassy's English-language magazine, barred from a num ber of American schools, has invited subscriptions from "many thousands of Americans eager for more truth" about Rus sia. The latest Issue of the USSR In formation Bulletin, after listing some of the "fine articles and revealing photographs" It has carried In the past to give a "thorough-going, rounded picture" of the Soviet Union, says: "Your relative, neighbor or shopmate is missing all these things through no fault of his or her own. We believe you could help us and them and there fore are addressing you on this page. "We want these Americans to know our publication, to become acquainted with both It and the Soviet people." 8poial Rate Offered It said it is offering special gift-rate Christmas subscriptions $1 for 24 issues so its readers can "join with us in building friends in the cause of peace, international understanding and good-fellowship." The bulletin is a slick-paper magazine offering a strictly So viet view of world Issues, along with a bright picture of life in Russia. It lists Its regular price as 10 cents a copy. Recently, a number of American schools have receiv ed free copies for their libraries. The magazine has been barred from schools in Springfield and Fall River, Mass., Columbus, Ohio, and Washington. The current issue of the bulle tin contains articles, with titles like: "Vishlnsky proves U.S. atom control plan aids monopoly, not peace." Here Is Example One story a reprint from the Soviet "New Times" entitled "Tito sells refugee children" starts: "Worried about the situation in Yugoslavia and Greece, the Bri tish and American cliques that rule these countries against the interests of their people are now working to contrive a Belgrade Athens Fascist-police 'axis'." The magazine's full-page ao peal for wider circulation is ad dressed "Dear Reader" and goes on: "The postman brings us daily evidence that many thousands un to u As the mercury creeps downward toward what may or may not be a new low in Roseburg history and as a smattering of soft, wet snow makes its pre-Chrlstmas debut on the scene there's little doubt that the population hereabouts has the Christmas spirit. We at KRNR are afflicted with the same happy malady . . . for where else Is one more concerned with all of the Christmas carols ... the Christmas drama . . . .and the over-all creating of the Christmas theme, than in radio? We gotta produce . .. or else we'll get a deluge of verbal punches in the noses via cards, letters and telephone calls . . . and so we will produce, as a result of wanting to. It's about this season of the year that the dialer switches on his radio to hear Crosby singing "Silent Night," Colman doing his "Scrooge" routine, or our own Boy Hiatt rendering "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." And we'll have them all all the Christmas music, messages, and drama that can possibly be fitted Into the broadcast, days remaining before Christmas! And so to "Queen of America" the phrase on every tongue. Seems that when the luoky winner of "Queen's" current "Queen of America" contest is announced early next month, she'll be showered with a list of prizes praotl cally unheard of, even during these days of fabulous give aways. A glorious trip to Europe, a British MG oar, a fabu lous wardrobe including virtually every kind of clothes and sportswear, suites of furniture, an all-eleotrlo kitchen, a diamond bracelet and watch, other Jewelry,' oamera and home-movie equipment, a children's equipped playground, a complete set of luggage, furs and dozens of other feminine treasures are included In the list of prizes. Entries for the contest closed Saturday, December 10. "Queen for a Day" Is heard dally over KRNR . . . 11:30 a. m. to 12 noon. Tune in tonight's "Jr. Chamber of Commerce Forum" at 7:30 . . . Alan Ladd starring in "Box Thirteen" at 8 . . . and another "Citizen-of-the-Week" interview feature during "Jovin Jamboree" at 8:30. , , of Americans are eager for more truth, more facts about the Un ion of Soviet Socialist Republics. "Mail received in the office of the USSR Information Bulletin attests to this hunger and it is expressed in letters and cards that are sincere, honest and friendly." RETIREMENT DEATH PORTLAND, Dec. 13. MP) A D. Bosserman, 66, who retired this. year as principal of Jeffer son high school died Sunday nf coronary thrombosis. He was one of the few educa tors to head a large high school without a college degree. Judge Rules Against Claim Of Paternity LOS ANGELES, MP) Leroy Hedge, 21, who claims paternity of the son born Oct, 15 to unwed Loretta Miller, 17, has no legal rights as a parent, says Superior Judge Arnold Praeger. Hedge is trying to keep the girl from offering the infant for adoption. His attorney told the judge "mothers should not have the right to say whether a father should be a father or not" Judge Praeger replied, 'The Legislature has given her. that right. Under the law, the mother is the only parent of an Illegiti mate child." KRNR 1490 on Your Dial Mutual Bmarlrasti ng Svwtgm REMAINING HOURS TODAY 4:00 Full on Lewis, Jr. MBS. 4:1 S Hemingway.
