Gurley Speaks
Of Russian Loot
In Yugoslavia
Fear, said former AAF Lieuten
ant-Colonel Joe Gurley is one of
the worst things about living in
Yugoslovia today.
Gurley, a senior in journalism
spoke at Westminster house Sun
day night. He told of his exper
iences with the Russians while he
was commanding officer of the
army air forces stations at Buda
pest, Hungary, and at Belgrada,
Yugoslavia.
Gurley arrived in Hungary just
three Weeks after the war was over.
He described the allied control com
mission as merely a high priced ob
servation post, for in reality the
country of 8,000,000 population was
run by 1,200,000 occupying Rus
sians.
Russians Loot Hungary
The Russian army, said Gurley,
had looted Hungary of nearly all
its assets, especially horses and
metals, two of the most valuable
items.
Systematically, Gurley declared,
the Russians had destroyed the
country’s social and economic
levels. They claimed right to do this
he explained as reparation for
the damage done to Russia by Hun
gary during the war. Meanwhile the
alies did nothing to stop them, he
said.
Communists in Control
After five months in Hungary,
Gurley was transferred to Bel
grade. The Communist party had
been in control of the government
since the end of hostilities but were
finally forced to hold a free elec
tion and in it the non-communist
candidate, Premier Nodge, won,
Gurley said. Even then the minoiUy
Communist party was able to
to force Nodge to give them half of
the seats in the parliament and sev
eral important offices, the colonel
said.
Included in this was the ministry
of the interior which controls the
Ozna.or secret police of the country.
For this reason the people of Yu
goslavia now have to live in con
stant fear of the Communists for
their secret police are everywhere
and every person in the country is

assigned to a block-leader who
keeps tab on them all of the time,
Gurley said. This great fear, Gur
ley believes, is one of the worst
things about living in Yugoslavia
and is not unlike Hitler’s system
in Germany, he explained.

element of the drama with which
the child identified himself. Also,
he said, depends oil whether the
child is content with mere thought
association or whether he guided
his action by this identification. Re
ferring to a statement by William
James that character could not be
built up with idealistic maxims and
noble thoughts Dr. Taylor stated
that character could not be torn
down with the amount of undesir
able thought gleaned from radio
thrillers.
Dr. Taylor presented the opinion
that children were attracted to1
radio thriller programs because
they liked new and different ex
periences and that they enjoyed
emotional excitement such as these
programs provide. Another point
of attractiveness, according to Dr.
Taylor, was the ability of the pro
grams to cut loose from reality.This
same disregard for reality is found
in the most popular fairy tales,
pointed out Dr. Taylor.
He said that this disregard of
reality is no longer considered
harmful as long as the individual
can face reality when necessary.
In fact, Dr. Taylor said, broad
imagination is helpful to anyone so
long as he is not 100 per cent sold
on unreality. He stated that very
few modern children weif*! that
much engrossed in make-believe.
If parents are desirous of pro
tecting children from excessive e
motional stimulation they should -
not prohibit such forms of enter
tainment but rather substitute
something else, explained Hr. Tay
lor. He added that the content of
such programs, the usual routine of _
having respectability win out but
only by a hair, could be mucb
changed by serious letters to the .
sponsors of such shows.
