Distributed by King Futons Srndicata. my Pay New' York I promised the Committee of Soviet Women, with whom I met in Moscow, to find out if it is possible to ar range an invitation to that group to visit the United States. I told them I would try to get a group of people together, start in? with the National Council of "Women of the U. S., to go through the preliminaries of such a visit with the State De partment. Women on this Soviet com mittee had asked me why it is so difficult for them to get into the U. S. They said they had been trying to arrange a visit through a woman in the State Department for two years and had failed miserably. I asked them if they were sure they would be granted permission to leave the Soviet Union and they told me unequivocally that they were certain they could come. Greater Interchange Their great desire is to see the U. S. and to know the women of our country better. And I am convinced that one of the things that will benefit us is to have a greater interchange between the people of the Soviet Union and our own. They need to know about us, Just as we need to know about them. They live in a country here news of the outside world is difficult to acquire. Only by coming and seeing will they evr understand what this coun try is really like and what we mean by democracy and free dom. Our backgrounds are com pletely different; our lives are completely different. We have to see to understand. Quite pos sibly they may prefer their own ways of life, but such inter changes may lead us to suffi cient understanding so that we may be able to work out the kind of peaceful co-existence that our leaders talk about but seem completely unable to bring gbout. There was one person in this group of women whom I had met back in the early days of World War II. Ludmilla Pavlich enko had come over with two young men to a student confer ence. She was in uniform then, a sharpshooter in the Soviet army. Today her hair is graying, she is fairly stout and was dressed in a suit and blouse with the pin and star denoting that she was a hero of the Soviet Union. She is also chairman of former Army men of the Committee of War Veterans. Seemed Happy When we met, I did not recog nize her until she spoke. She seemed happy to see me again. We talked of the days spent at the student conference and of the week end some of the dele gates spent with me at Hyde Park. She asked me to meet with her Committee of War Vet erans and invited me to her home. She and her husband are par ticularly well off, since they have a four-room apartment and only her mother lives with them. When I went to see her, her mother greeted me with great warmth. Retired at 60, she is in charge of the social welfare of a whole group of apartment houses.

Ludmilla told me that she managed the household's finances and always set aside a certain amount for buying books. A hero of the So viet Union is entitled to special consideration, and I imagine that is why she had such excep tional comfort in her living room. Eat Very Well She told me they spend a large part of their income on food and eat very well, spending about 350 rubles (S35) a week for the three of them. She told me they have an abundance of fruit, meat and borsch every day. Of course, they also have substantial quantities of tea and bread. On occasions they have caviar and elaborate cakes. WThen I met with the war vet erans I found that a great many of them still suffered from war disabilities. As the committee crowded around the table to talk with me, the first questions were as to what my government did for war veterans. They were quick to tell me that their government gave all war veterans who had difficulty in walking some kind of vehicle for transportation, and they seemed to feel that their gov ernment was granting as much in the way of benefits as was ours. They.j too, said they would like above everything else to have an opportunity of meeting with U. S. war veterans. I con fess that I wondered whether the American Legion would in vite a group of Soviet war vet erans to visit them. I still feel, however, it would be advanta geous if all of our veterans groups would get together and arrange for such a visit. They assured me that they would be delighted to invite any Ameri can veterans to the Soviet Un ion. E.R. (Copyright. 1957, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

Ameri can freedom is being strangled by inflation and taxation, ac cording to Publisher Eugene C. Pulliam. He made the statement Wed nesday as guest speaker at a luncheon honoring National Newspaper week. Pulliam is publisher of the Indianapolis Star and Indianapolis News and editor and publisher of the Phoe nix Republic and Gazette. Pulliam was an early sup porter of President Eisenhower, but the President is "a captive of bureaucratic forces in Wash ington that gained .a foothold in our country during the New Deal." Reporting Task Difficult The publisher said it is "harder than ever." for news men to report governmental happenings on any level since "the bureaucrats are withhold ing all information that does not show them off in a favorable light." "It is the duty of the nation's newspapers to constantly ex pose and criticize the bureau cratic fumbling and bumbling that is leading us down the road to socialism, and worse a totalitarian state," he said. Security Not Affected Pulliam labeled the Soviet earth satellite as an "important scientific achievement," but one that does not affect our national security. "I am more concerned with air bases and planes on earth that can deliver a one-two punch to our enemies," he said. In reference to the State De partment's reluctance to allow American newspapermen entry into Red China, Pulliam said: "Reporters have a perfect right to go into any Communist country if they've got the guts to go."
