Try and
-By BENNETT CERF-
SOME JARGON from the advertising lads, gathered by a
Holiday eavesdropper:
"Let's take it to the lab and see if its a mushroom or a toadstool."
"Let's drive this into a
parking lot and see if we
dent any fenders."
"We still insist that this
campaign adhered to every
principle of sound advertis
ing. (So it flopped. Fire
us!)"
Our own favorite is the
account executive who
fondly referred to his agen
cy as "Boot Camp for
Ulcers."

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.

i was lined with books. 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.

Inflation, Taxes'
Strangling Freedom
Publisher Asserts
San Francisco n? 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."

a course in American foreign

a course in Russian foreign pol

makes American foreign policy
a prerequisite.

inexhaustible. You can learn to

from "hygiene for brides" to
"furnishing that little apartment

something called Chicago

rather commonly brunted about
that this lusty young city
sprouted along about 1833.

Trees Should Be
Sprayed for Canker
Young pear trees, mainly be
tween the ages of three and five
years, should be checked for
pear canker, according to Clif
ford B. Cordy, county horti
culture agent.
The canker, Cordy said, gen
erally attacks pear trees on the
trunk and smooth black areas
appear on the bark.
Once the canker gets into the
wood of the tree the bark dries
up. The trunks should be spray
ed in the fall during the warm
humid weather until the tree is
seven years old.
The spray used should be a
solution of 10 pounds to 50 per
cent copper in 100 gallons of
water.
