i English Quaker Tells Highlights Of Russian Visit An English Quaker told of his observations on a two-week “mis sion to Moscow” in July, 1951 in a lecture here Monday afternoon. Speaking to a World Politics class, Gerald Bailey, writer and speaker on international affairs, [ said the mission of seven Quakers accomplished two “practical re sults.” (1) It took to RusHia a differ ent point of view from that of most English visitors, who had i usually been uncritical Commu nists. The "Quakers, historical pro ponents of peace, challenged prom ‘ inent Soviets, including Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob Malik, to put forth a "real proposal” for ” peace. (21 The Quakers, including Bai , ley, have had a "great opportunity to give out impressions of the vis it.” Bailey cited an article he wrote in a large British magazine. Saw the Sights The mission, which consisted of three women and four men, also saw “routine” sights in Moscow, with side trips to Kiev and Lenin grad. Bailey expressed surprise at a - Russian Orthodox church service attended by 9,000 in the Soviet Union, normally considered "god [" less and athiestic” by the west. He said the government’s attitude to L ward religion is more tolerant since the war. Buildings Impressive ■ A Russian subway building proj ect he visited impressed him with its modern beauty, and its very ex istence in the face of acute hous ing shortages made it apparently a symbol of nationalistic pride. Members of the mission talked with the editorial staffs of the Literary Gazette, a Russian news paper, and the News, an English L language paper ostensibly devoted to better Russian-western under standing. Bailey said English is • the second language taught in Russian schools. - Talks with Malik Other talks included a widely , publicized S’j-hour session with Malik and meetings with the min ister of public enlightenment (ed ucation i and trade union heads. fc The Quaker themes in these talks were: How does Russia rec oncile its alleged desire for peace with hate-filled propaganda to . ward the west ? Why does she keep an "iron curtain” between | herself and the west? When will r she offer a real peace proposal? Bailey called Russian answers as a whole “thoroughly unsatisfac tory.” Korean War Vets Lost in Air Crash </P)—The wreckage has been p found of the air transport which carried Korean war veterans and » a crew of three.
