Washington The Unit
ed States today charged Rus-
sia with trying to "rewrite
history" to hide the fact that
the Soviet encourgaed Hitler's
military ambitions and clear

attack on Pearl Harbor.
It also renewed charges
that Russia is responsible for
the continued division of Ger
many, the crisis in Berlin,
and the trouble and insecurity
which has plagued Europe
since the end of World War
II.
The U. S. charges were con
tained in a 53-page booket re
leased by the State Depart
ment to refute allegations in
Soviet Premier. Nikita Khru
shchev's Nov. 27 note to the
Western Big Three demanding
they evacuate West Berlin.
The lengthy Russian note,
which the allies have reject
ed, Contained a series of asser
tions that the U. S. and its
allies had at one time encour
aged Hitler and then refused

'An Analysis'
Today's publication, de
scribed as "an analysis' of the
Soviet note, took up the Rus
sian charges one-by-one and
knocked them down by cit
ing history and the statements
of Russian leaders.
The State Department re
leased the analysis shortly af
ter Soviet Deputy Premier
Anastas I. Mikoyan left Wash
ington following two days of
talks with officials, congress
men, businessmen and labor
leaders. He left a trail of
peace hints.
The U. S. said that the So
viet Union, during the time
'that Hitler was in power, "not
only maintained normal dip
lomatic and economic rela
tions with Germany but also
assisted in building up a new
German war machine.
The document added that
Russia's actions in every re
spect "tended to encourage
Hitler's military ambitions.
The document also blamed
Russia for playing a major
role in starting the Pacific
war. It said that "in April,
1941. the USSR signed a neu
trality pact with the Japan
ese ally of Hitler, thereby
clearing the way for the Pearl
Harbor attack on the United
States on Dec. 7, 1941."
Computer Changes
French to English
Washington," (Science Serv
ice) A business ' machine
computer can translate from
French to English at a clip
of three to four words a sec
ond. The IBM 704 goes through
a process familiar to thou
sands of- language students,
but it goes about its business
in a most methodical way, Dr.
A. F. R Brown of George
town university told the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science here
recently.
The machine has been
promised a 5,000-word dic
tionary soon by its operators,
but at present it must work
from a 600-word "book," Dr.
Brown said The computer
works on translation in 1,200-
word sections
First, the ..computer looks
up all words, which have
been arranged alphabetically
so that the machine only goes
through the dictionary once.
During each look-up, the ma
chine exchanges a French
word for an item." These
are restored to their proper
sequence through help of cod
ed instructions with each
English word.
The instructions may alert
the computer to idioms or to
points of French grammar as
sociated, with particular
words. Other instructions
may tell the 704 where to
put adjectives.
When all instructions have
been met, the English words
are sifted out, strung togeth
er, and printed as a translated
sentence.

assassin is a vicious criminal
and must be treated as a
major menace to society."

Says Sexy
The famous diary - now
branded part forgery-became
public in 1936 during a sen
sational custody battle for the
daughter born of her second
marriage.
Miss Astor said the diary's
alleged "box score" on her
romantic life was a forged
addition to the pages of the
real'diary, as were the purple
passages relating to her well
publicized relationship with
playwright George S. Kauf
man.
Reports Erroneous
Even reports stating her
diary was written in purple
ink were erroneous, Miss As
tor said. The true color was
aztec brown.
While pages 163-170 discuss
the custody trial and the case
of the duplicated diary, the
332-page book tends to give
more details about Miss As
tor's physical condition than
her love affairs.
Her affairs began at 17,
with John Barrymore, who,
she noted, gave her "love, af
fection, humor and, above all,
beauty."
Her physical and mental ag
onies were manifested in or
occasioned by alcoholism,
hatred of her parents, insom
inia, cirrhosis of the liver, an
overdose of sleeping pills,
bronchial pneumonia, lobar
pneumonia, a broken leg,
painful "female troubles," in
cipient tuberculosis, an abor
tion, malnutrition, heart trou
ble, gall bladder trouble, neu
ritis and other assorted' com
plaints seeming resulting
from anxieties of one kind
or another.
Credits Conversion
Miss Astor credits her con
version to Roman Catholic
ism in 1940 as the turning
point in her life. Her life,
once "bizarre, fantastically
foolish and unnecessarily mis
erable" slowly became a hap
pier one because of her new
religious training and her ab
ility to live her life on a "to
day basis."
The diary was not allowed
as evidence and Miss Astor
won custody of her daughter
for nine months of the year.
In 1952, the diary was de
stroyed by court order.
