Russia Building
Vast Military
Machine, Report
London, Nov. 16 mi A former
British military attachp in Mos
cow said today that Russia is
amassing a flying reserve of such
proportions that he wonders
whether the Soviets are creating
a corps of KumiKaze or suicide
pilots.
Russian boys and girls can now
learn to fly as easily as they
once could learn to chive a car,
Maj. Gen. Richard Hilton said in
an interview summarizing much
of what he learned in two years
at Potsdam and in Moscow de
spite the "leper-like isolation"
there of foreign diplomats.
Dosav, the organization spon
soring the learn-to-fly campaign,
he said, is working on a greater
scale than any other similar or
ganization in the world. It is pos
sible, he said, these boy and girl
pilots may some day be used in
war "in forms which may seem
impossible to our hidebound way
of thinking."
Impression Given
Gen Hilton said that when he
left Russia for retirement in 1948
he took along these "impres
sions": 1. Russians regard the whole
country as being one vast war ma
chine and believe consequently
that practically everything that
goes on economically or other
wise is a military secret.
2. Foreign observers believe
the soviet high command is ab
normally anxious to conceal the
true state of affairs.
3. The Red square functions
seem too good to be true delib
erately planned to give fhe out
side world a false impression of
soviet military preparedness.
4. There is a faction In Ri'sslnn
aviation led by Josef Stalin's son
which believes in strategic Domo
ing, against the theory of tactical
support to which the red air force
was devoted in the last war.
5. The M.V.D. (secret police)
"This sinister force Is the king
pin of the entire soviet system.
It gets its results by terror. It Is
hated and dreaded."
6. The soviet integration of the
armed forces is even more perfect
than the German "wehrmacht"
but political surveillance still is
necessary and political commis
sars are active although the Rus-
them.
Front Familiar
But Rear Wow
Laramie, Wyo., Nov. 16 UHi
A Laramie service station me
chanic learned today that a fa
miliar fare on a skunk was no
proof that the striped crt
would be friendly.
The lesson came when Hap
McKin's pel skunk a deodor
ized, refined, gentle animal
disappeared. One of Hap's
friends told him that he had
seen the pet under a building.
The face looked familiar but
it was a different animal.
Hap closed his service sta
tion, opened the windows wide,
and settled down to wait for a
wind that would carry the
memory of the stranger away.

Here Are Jokes
British Laughing
At, Nowadays
London IIj All you have to do
in Britain today to be a success
ful comic is tell a joke about
the socialist government or the
United States.
The British always have been
ready to laugh at their leaders,
but no government in its history
has been the butt of so many
gags on the stage, the screen,
and even the nationalized radio
as this one.
In radio there is reportedly
Cfim a milI noncnrchln tr nnDiiro
that jokes about cabinet members
or parly leaders are funny and
not vicious. But the wraps are
off in the music halls.
The United States is getting a
slight roasting as the home of
the elusive dollar, wnicn ail rit-
ons agree is the cause of all their
trouble.
"I'm glad to be here," cracked
Charlie Chester, British comic,
from the stage of the Palladium
theater where Danny Kaye and
other American stars frequently
appear. "Of course, I wrote a let
ter to the American consul ask
ing permission."
Having dumped his audience in
the aisles with that one, Chester
continued:
"If the streets were paved with
gold, we'd need dollars to buy
pickaxes."

tator style): "1940 the days
when Britain stood alone and oh
how she could stand a loan today."

Then there is the story atout
Churchill arising in a bus to give
his seat to Mrs. Attlee, wife of
the prime minister.
Thank you, says Mrs. Attlee.
"Don't mention it," murmurs
Churchill, "I hope your husband
will do the same for, me very
soon."
A west end comic drew a howl
when he told his audience:
I've just been listening to
Churchill's speech. He'd never
get away with it if Attlee were
alive."
Comic Ted Ray discusses with
his radio wife a new electrical
gadget to make morning tea auto
matically:
"I wish we had something to
make it unnecessary to prepare
eggs und bacon too," says his
wife.
"We have," snaps Ted "Sua
chey" (food minister).
From a current show:
"Where is the capital of Rus
sia?" "Moscow."
