By WES GALLAGHER
For D.Witt MacKansio
FRANKFURT (AP The
greatest contribution toward fan
ning the flames for e new World
War is the ignorance of the Rus
sian leaders of the ways of the
West.
This if the belief of many diplo
mats who have worked in Moscow
and those who have dealt with the
Soviets here and in Berlin.
Because of the big Soviet spy
rings which have been exposed,
and the ardent collecting of docu
ments by Soviet deplomats all over
the world, it has become popular
to presume that Stalin and his polit-
buro are well informed on the west
ern mind.
But there is little indication of
this in Soviet propaganda nor in
the overt acts of Communist pup
pets who have lost ground stead
ily in Western Europe for the past
five years. j
.. Blind .Frustration
Instead there appears to be an
attitude of blind frustration, In
creasing suspicion and a tendency
to the use of extremes and force
to overcome any obstacle.
As Soviet power has spread, the
ignorance has widened with it, en
gulfing countless more millions be
hind the Iron Curtain.
It has been the custom of dicta
tors throughout the centuries to
hear only what they want to hear.
One need look only to Hitle rto
find the prime example of this.
Germany was a Western nation
with close and long t'-s and chan
nels of information to the Western
mind. But in world political situa
tions, Hitler and his Nazi clique be
haved with amazing ignorance of
the facts.
Captured documents show that
through the '30s German embassies
in Washington and London poured
in a ceaseless torrent of informa
tion accurately forecasting rising
Western resentment and warning
the Nazi rulers that the West would
fight.
Little of this information ever got
to Hitler and his inner ring. Lower
Nazi functionaries inte-cepted it
and discounted it because it did not
fit in with Hitler's beliefs nor Nazi
plans.
'Y.i Men'
What little did reach Hitler or
the inner circle was not believed
or was misrepresented by such
"yes men" as Foreign Minister
Ribbentrop.
Let s look at the Soviet Union.
Russia's Iron Curtain and its po
lice state isolate the Russian neoole
and its hierarchy a thousand times
more etlectively than Hitler's dic
tatorship did.
Furthermore, Russia has been
isolated mentally for more than 30
years.
Anyone with the slightest contact
with Ihe West has been purged,
not only in Russia but in all Communist-controlled
satellites.
The famed Soviet Economist Var
ga accurately predicted capital
ism's strength in the postwar
world. He was reprimanded.
Soviet Genetics Scientist Lysenko
brought forth some theories on he
redity which were the laughine
stock of the recent Stockholm world
scientific convention. Western sci
entists say Lysenko is living a hun
dred years behind the times. In
Russia anyone who disagrees with
his theories is purged.
Only one member of the present
Russian politburo has ever had any
extensive personal contacts with
the West that is Stalin's loyal dis
ciple, former Foreign Minister
Molotov.
Montal Jail
For 30 yeara the rest have hailed
themselves within their Marxist
walls, believing only what fits their
theories, ruthlessly purging anyone
who disagrees.
They have allowed out of their
country only a small number of
trusted ardent Communist b e-
lievers, limited in power and tied
closely to the Kremlin.
Under these conditions can any
one seriously believe that Soviet
diplomatic reports to the Kremlin
are objective, critical and informa
tive? Even if they were, in the light
of the history of dictatorships, what
chance have they of being believed?
A glance at boviet propaganda
efforts shows clearly the vast mis-'
judgment of the western mind.
The recent Soviet official note ac
cusing the United States of drop
ping , otato bugs from airplanes on
eastern Germany hit a new diplo
matic low in comedy.
A Soviet controlled publication,
apparently under the impression
that the American nusical comedy
"Annie Get Your Gun" was a call
to arms for American womanhood.
described Betty Hutton as a "grin-
n n g monster " and declared:
"American mono-capitalists do not
miss any chance of decorating their
war mongering and murder mon
gering with sex appeal."
The Soviet Union at one time pro
tested in Berlin that teaching base
ball, football and other American
games violated four-power rules
against quasi military training. The
Soviet commander making the pro
test was invited to see a ball game.
He refused.
There are thousands of more ser
ious but unfounded Soviet charges
made daily. Even for propaganda
purposes they show a .vast mis
judging of the western mind.
Ono-Way
A diplomat just returned from
two-years service in the Soviet Un
ion said, "Russian missions abroad
only send home what they know
will be believed and what will keep
them out of trouble.
"Ignorance in the Kremlin is
echoed and fed back with more ig
norance by missions and spies
abroad.
"Recently this ignorance has
been coupled with another more
sinister development. The Soviets
have been getting very cocky and
very belligerent.
"When an ignorant man is cocky
and does not realize his shortcom
ings you can expect anything.
"When he is frustrated he usual
ly resorts to force."

Red Press Hints
At Air Blockade
To Seize Berlin
BERLIN .P A new Com
munist anti-American press cam
paign raised fears today that the
Russians may be getting ready to
try again to force the allies from
Berlin.
They failed with their blockade
of the city last year.
The new propaganda drive cen
ters around charges that an Amer
ican plane, with the identification
number "S-45," dropped firebombs
over a town near the Elbe July 27.
(In Washington an official at the
Pentagon said American planes do
not bear "S" identifications and
he had not heard of the alleged
incident.)
The drive is fashioned on the
same lines as the potato buy cam
paign three months ago in which
American planes were accused of
dropping Colorado beetles on East
German potato fields.
Russia's official newspaper in
Germany, the Taeglich Runds
chau, published an interview with
an East Berlin Communist worker
today. It quoted him as saying
"the soviet government should be
asked to close the air space over
the (East) German democratic re
public to American planes. It can
not be allowed that some day our
whole crop goes up in flames."
Western observers regarded the
Taegliche Rundschau's article as
a calculated threat by the Russians.
U.S. air force headquarters at
Wiesbaden declined to comment
on the Soviet newspaper's hint of
a future air blockade. But a
spokesman said the charge about
fire bombs was "ridiculous."

WASHINGTON (AP) Senator
Morse (R-Ore) says that some hus
bands are finding active duty with
the armed forces a convenient way
of getting away from their wives.
He told the Senate Armed ser
vices committee that joining up
may be a "good way to get rid of
her."
"I think we ought to take them,"
Morse continued, and maybe "put
them on the front line."
The senator's comment cams
while the committee was consid
ering a bill to restore payment of
monthly family allowances for
wives, children and parents of men
drafted or called to active duty
from civilian jobs. I
Morse said deserted wives and !
children should have the right
to obtain family benefits even if
the husband and fahter did not ask
for them.
Defense officers assured h i m
that is the way the proposed law
would work, as it did during the
last war.'
