Paily Worker Charges
Josef Stalin Violent
In Anti-Semitic Acts
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington -UR) The &
ialinization of Russian Corn
munism has taken a new turn
with charges
that the late
Generalissimo
was guilty of
violent anti
Semitism. These
charges were
published in
the New York
C o m m u n ist
Lyi c. Hiiion new s p a p e r,
the Dial? Worker. They were a
reprint of a report published by
British Communists after a dele
gation of Jews had' investigated
in the Soviet Union the story of
anti-Semitism during the Stalin
regime.
The iSitish investigating dele
gation included J. R. Campbell,
editor of the London Daily
Worker, and Hyman Levy, de
scribed as a Marxist philosopher
and mathematician. The investi
gators bluntly accused the Sta
lin regime of seeking to liqui
fy date by violence the Jewish cul
ture of the Soviet Union.
Tfie Black Years
"The years 1948-52." the re
port said, "were known among
them (Russian Jews) as the black
yearv, the period during which
O theiP posts, Jewish poets and
writers were arrested and
charged with treason and exe-
q cuted; Yiddish disappeared from
uie siJeis ana marKei places.
Husbands were arrested, tor-
tured and murdered, the report
continue, and whole families
3 were transported to remote
areas of forced labor. The inves
tigators insisted, however, that
since Stalin's death a real effort
was being made to make amends
for the anti-Smitic campaign
Band to prevent a rendition.
The British investigators were
not satisfied that Stalin should
bear the blame alone. Anti
..Semitism under Stalin, they con
cluded, may have been a hold
ovaf from "the Czarist society

according to forecast.
The United States Savings and
Loan league made the prediction
in a pamphlet prepared for
guidance of 4. SOtt institutions in
their cfey-to-day operations be
ginning" Jan, 1.
The league executive com
mittee, which prepared the pam
phlet, safd the forecast was bas
ed on figures showing that new
families were being formed at
a lower rate in the United States
than during o the years immed
iately following World War II.
It is expected that the cur
rent rate will continue into the
next decade, until today's bum
per crop of children reach ma
turity and seek homes of their
own.
As8 a result, the demand for
houses should come for the most
part from persons "who have a
desire to improve their housing
standards" and can afford to do
so. Many such persons already
hav homes and so are not press
ed buy.
The committee said that 1957
should see a confining of this
year's "generally robust econ
omy." accompanied by new
peaks In national income and
high employment.

substantiates rumors consistent
ly current during the Stalin re
gime of violent anti-Semitism in
the so-called classless Commu
nist state. This anti-Semitic vio
lence was taking place at the
same time American Commu
nists wre making American
Jews and other American mi
norities special targets of their
propaganda and recruiting cam
paigns. American Communists
scorned and scoffed at reports
over the years of anti-Semitic
violence in the Soviet Union.
Communist publications brushed
such away as examples of the
overall plot of world imperial
ism against Communism.
Communists themselves now
proclaim the truth of those re
ports, but accompany the ac
knowledgement with assurances
that it shall not happen again.
That, of course, remains to be
seen since the present acknowl
edgement also is accompanied
by admission that the seed of
anti-Semitism was widely and
deeply sown in Russia and is not
yet all reaped.

New Speaking Method
Tried by Handicapped
Santa Barbara, Calif. (U.R)
A new method pf helping a
cerebral palsied child make the
first effort at speaking is on
trial at a special school here.
Teachers at Hillside House, a
residential school for cerebral
palsied children, have placed
hidden recording machines un
der the children's pillows in
hopes they can learn while
asleep.
Dr. Edwin R. Schoeel said he
is experimenting with "sleep
teaching" with one group of
children. He said one of the most
difficult tasks facing teachers at
the school is encouraging the
child to make the effort to
speak.
It takes immense effort for
the child to speak, so most of
them are content to rely on
gestures and brief sounds to ex
press themselves.
Using the, recorders, Schoell
repeats the day's lesson, and
four times a night the child's
teacher suggests that learning
is a happy experience.
Although sleep teaching must
be coupled with regular day
work, Schoell hopes his experi
ments will encourage the young
sters to learn more eagerly than
they do at present.
