Attack on U.S.
r - By Thtmu Whitney
MOSCOW, Jan. 21-VPeter N.
Pospelov, editor of Pravda, in an
address bitterly attacking "Amer
ican imperialism," told a distin
guished audience including Prime
Minister Stalin tonight that any
American plans to make war
gainst Russia on land in Europe
and Asia are foredoomed to fail
ure. The occasionwas the 27th anni
versary of the death of the founder
of the Soviet state, Vladimir Ilich
Lenin, for which the brilliant as
semblage of mourners came to the
Bolshoi theater.
Pospelov quoted Lenin as saying
that all attempts to invade Russia
would fail and that Russia would
emerge stronger from each such
attempt
This certainly, Pospelov said,
would be the fate of plans nur
tured by "American aggressors."
Enemy ef Russia
Pospelov also quoted Lenin's de
nunciation of American interven
tion in Russia and of "American
imperialism" and pictured the
United States as an invariable en
emy of the Soviet Union and its
people since the first days of the
Bolshevik revolution.
He pictured the United States
as being as implacable in its en
mity .of Russia as Hitlerite Ger
many. Pospelov's speech was broadcast
throughout the nation and will be
printed in all Soviet newspapers
tomorrow.
Lengthy applause marked the
Appearance of Generalissimo
Stalin. At the conclusion the whole
assemblage rose and sang the in
ternationale, the communist party
hymn.
Txj Respects
Thousands of Soviet citizens
queued up early today before Len
in's tomb to pay their respects.
Traffic was halted in Red Square
to permit the movement of the
throngs filing steadily through
the downstairs hall of the mauso
leum, Lenin's resting place, to
Tiew his specially embalmed body.
Mourning flags red banners ed
ged with black were hung on
buildings throughout Moscow and
other Soviet cities.
Pospelov's speech was entirely
and from the beginning to end an
attack on America,

History, Pospelov asserted, prov-

"Russia defeated Hitlerite Ger
many and emerged from this un
precedentedly stern struggle
stronger than it was before 1941.
"Today, even our bitterest en
emies have to admit this incontes-
table historical fact. Even such a

little use, although it was easy to

ABASHARI, Japan, Jan. ' 21-JP)
-The Japanese have learned from
American GIs too well, perhaps
how to use their thumbs in
hitchhiking rides.
A train engineer today sighted
about 20 persons waving for him
to stop at a highway crossing. Be
lieving there had been an accident,
the engineer desperately braked to
a halt.
The 20 people happily clamber
ed aboard. With a wide smile, one
explained to the engineer:
"I bet wt could hitchhike a ride
oh a train. I won."
i tive Englishmen disliked this red
i fish. When Icelanders hit rich
; rosefish schools, they simply threw
the fish back into the sea. It was
i not uncommon, in certain seasons,
j to see the sea turn red from dead
I rosefish.
New plants and machinery now
are being set up to fillet the rose
fish and pack it for the American
1 market.
B-36s Return
From England
1 raining lrip
FORT WORTH," Tex., Jan. 21
(P Six B-36 bombers America's
atom bomb carriers roared home
today from England and their
first stay on foreign soil.
"We had fog and freezing weath
er when we left for England, and
we bucked a 100 mile an hour
head "wind on the way back," said
Capt. Bobbie J. Cavnar, 25, of
Oklahoma City, a pilot of the one
crew newsmen were allowed to
interview.
But the flight of the giant war
planes, biggest in the world and
all fitted out as though they were
lugging A-bombs, was classed as
uneventful.
Cavnar said the eight-day train
ing mission was "highly success
ful and educational."
Apparently it was about as edu
cational for the English as it was
for the airmen.
"The English called the B-36
the 'flying hotel' and were amazed
at the ship's actual size," Cavnar
said.
Going over, the ships flew from
Carswell air force base here, land
ed at Limestone, Me., and then
flew to Lakenheath air base, Eng
land last Tuesday.
The return course was essential
ly the same, officers said, but the
big ships powered by six piston
engines and four jet engines
made it without stopping.
The first ship that landed made
the return trip in 30 hours and
16 minutes. Its wheels touched the
Carswell runway at 11:16 a. m. The
other five landed at 15 minute
intervals.
Cavnar and his crew were told
what subjects they could discuss
before newsmen were allowed to
talk to them.
Brig. Gen. C. S. Irvine said the
six crews picked for the long mis
sion were those with the best
practice bombing records. He said
they'll be questioned as to the
operation of their ships and the
information will be put into a final
"operations report."

To Our Readers:
This is written because we feel that the news about a forthcoming States
man project may be of personal interest to you.
It concerns the fact that on Wednesday, March 28, 1951, The Statesman
joins the select few newspapers in the entire United States that have reached
the age of 100.
You, as a subscriber, will receive on that date a special commemorative
Issue, comprising SIX SECTIONS, and totaling 100 or more pages.
Here is the fascinating story of the behind-the-scenes preparations for
this edition.
The broad plan took form many months ago. As far back as last August
ur entire editorial staff, our photographers and our correspondents through
out the mid-Willamette Valley were "alerted" and given their assignments
We knew we faced a big job, one requiring "all out" effort: for we deter
mined that this issue would encompass the whole inspiring 100;year story of
agriculture, business, education, religion and government of the mid-Willam-ttte
community!
First, researchers were put to work on the colossal task of combing
through a hundred years of history as recorded in Statesman files. Only by
microfilming of every pane of every issue from 1851 through 1925 could this
vast endeavor be accomplished!
Reporters and writers have spent countless man hours delving through'
records yellowed with age in courthouses and libraries. Through a months'
long search, dozens of rare delightful old-time pictures have come to light
and will be published in the edition.
As this is written, truly exciting progress is being made with our great
undertaking. Scores of photographs are now being processed into plates by the
engravers. Editors are making final choices of the approximately 200 pic
tures to be used. Dummy pages are being laid out. Tens of thousands of
words meticulously edited as to fact and content are flowing to the lin
typers. Soon, from The Statesman's press will roll the first pages of the special
Issue to be called
"Cavalcade of a Century
When this 100 page edition arrives at your home on Wednesday, March
28th, it will bring to you a clearer and closer view of your mid-Willamette val
ley, its origins, its past, present and future, than ever before in publishing hi
tory !
. . . You uill nitness the tremendous pageantry of the
growth of our community and all its varied and multifold accom
plishments in the past hundred years.
. . . Yow will grasp more clearly the impact of national
and world events on our life and times.
. . . You will see spread before you the grandeur and ma
jesty of our mountains, the beauty and productivity of our valley
and its farm lands.
. . . You will live again events long forgotten, see and
read of those early settlers, and realize how great was their con
tribution in the building of the community we know today!
. . . You will smile indulgently at the clothing styles, fie
social doings of yesteryear.
. . . You will find the edition a treasure trove of interest
ing, useful information to which you will refer time and time
again
r
. . . AND because you are proud that you live in and are a
part of this great mid-Willamette valley community, you will want
your friends and relatives to share the "CAVALCADE OF A
CENTURTissue with you.
As this is written, it seems certain that we will be deluged with requests
for additional copies. On page 5 of today's Statesman you will find a reser
vation form on which you may list the names of friends and relatives to
whom you would like the edition sent. Additional copies are only 15 cents
each and tbis price includes addressing, wrapping and mailing the edition
anywhere in the United States, its possessions, or Canada!
In publishing this 100th Anniversary Edition, we are certain it is some
thing in which we and you can take great pride. If you share our expecta
tions, won't you please send in your Reservation list soon? Whyj not do it to
rlay while the matter is fresh in vour mind?
