Most-Asked QaetUeas - These were the 10 questions most frequently asked and my answers: Q. How does the Moscow press treat Sen. McCarthy? A. The Moscow press almost ig nores the senator. Every once in a while they give him three or four paragraphs and denounce him generally as the leading Ameri can Fascist No matter what yoo may mink of the senator, he is a tricky subject for the propaganda machine of the Central committee of the Communist Party, In order for the Soviet press to discuss McCarthy the papers must at least mention the word subver sives, and that mere are Ameri cans who have been used by Mos cow, and others suspected of being used by Moscow? to spy, or aid the Soviet Union. This doesnt fit in with the party line, which says Russia "never in terferes in the internal affairs of any foreign country." The Moscow papers dont like to report that someone is even suspected of sub versive activity on behalf ef the U. S. S. R. Voice f America ' Q. Can you hear the Voice ef America in Moscow? A. You can hear the English lan guage broadcasts of the Voice in Moscow. You cannot hear the Rus sian language broadcasts. "They are drowned by a torrent of jam ming from several hundred (I've seen them) jamming stations in and around the Soviet capital But i lived in a Russian vil lage 25 miles from Moscow for four summers and I could hear the Voice of America's Russian language broadcasts almost around the clock, sometimes they were as loud as Moscow Radio.

There's a new look. but I'm afraid all the old ambi tions of world communism are still there.

Williams had appealed the examiner's find ing that the cards were - "filthy and indecent The post office department said Williams had solicited orders for additional copies of the card, with the remittances to be sent simply to -cowboy" at Caddo Box 157. The post office department charged Williams with "using the abas "Cowboy to solicit funds through the mail for the purchase of fithy and indecent cards.!' Williams contended that a word used on the card several times re ferred to a pack animal not 'e any slang term for a part of the human anatomy. And he said he had been called "Cowboy" all his life and ran the Cowboy Barber Shop in the Cowboy Building 'a Caddo. ; - ; Summerfield commented: j"I concur with the .conclusion of the examiner that the reasonable and sensible criterion to apply is the standard of ordinary decent people.
