Russia Revisited: Soviet People Take
Tension as Fixture off 20th Century
Editors note: What If the Soviet
Union like today? . . The Soviet
Union that Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev will be speaking for
when he tours the United States?
. . . The Soviet Union that Presi
dent Eisenhower will see when he
vitti Russia himself?
This is the first of five dispatches
providing an unusually candid view
of the USSR. They were written
by a reporter who had spent three
and a half years in Moscow before
leaving in February. This summer,
she returned and toured the coun
try extensively, from Moscow to
Siberia. Here is her report on "Rus-
By COLETTE
BLACKMOORE
UPI Correspondent
Moscow -UPD- The Russian
people are sobering up to the
fact that East-West tension is
a fixture of the 20th century
and that no magic formula
carl wish it away. They are
also an iota more realistic,
which is to say discouraged,
about the possibilities of fur
ther political relaxation inside
their own country.
These are some of the im
pressions gleaned in talks this
summer with Soviet citizens
from various walks of life.
Whether the forthcoming ex
change of visits between Pre
mier Khrushchev and Presi
dent Eisenhower will do any
thing to alter their attitudes
remains to be seen.
My impressions are very
general ones. But they are
gathered in whatever city and
part of the Soviet Union a
tourist visits.
From Other Russians
The most convincing opin
ions expressed in Russia to
day come not from govern
ment officials and Commu
nist Party functionaries who
are too well briefed on the
"contraditions" between the
East and West, and in many
cases too cynical, to allow
themselves any wishful think
ing, ever.
The frank talking comes
from the 200 million "other"
Russians.
They have in common,
whether they are scientists,
teachers or coal miners, the
fact that most of what they
know about foreign affairs is
learned from Soviet news
papers. And at the present time,
they are less optimistic re
garding the world situation
than they were three, two
years or even a year ago. At
least, that was the feeling be
fore it became known that
Eisenhower and Khrushchev
would meet.
In 1956, for example, a con
versation between a Russian
and an American tourist in
variably went like this.
"If your President and our
Party Leader could just get
together and have a long ch?.t,
they would settle a lot of the
problems which are bother
ing our two countries."
Line Still Heard
Whether ut the Russian
actually believed his own
words or was just being ami
ably naive, this is what he
often said.
To some extent one still

is the area proposed for zon-
hears this line of reasoning.
But now, many are beginning
to realize that getting together
and chatting is not enough.
They are catching on to the
notion that differences be
tween the Communist and
non - Communist worlds are
bigger than both Khrushchev
and Eisenhower combined,
and that neither the near-absolute
power of the one nor
the still remarkable populari
ty of the other can dissolve
these differences. .
It is hard to define- what is
bringing ordinary Soviet peo
ple to this sober realization.
Perhaps in part it was the
complete lack of progress at
the Geneva Foreign Ministers
conference. Perhaps it was the
stalemate at the East - West
nuclear talks.
Deep Impression
But one thing is sure: - the
Berlin crisis set off in Novem
ber, 1958, coming so soon
after the Quemoy and Leb
anese crises, made a very deep
impression on the Russians.
There were quite a few
and they were not stupid peo
ple either who thought that
this was it, the match to kindle
the world fire. And they half
jokingly, half seriously talked
about "taking a big trip to
central Siberia with wife
and children long about the
end of next May" (the time
when Khrushchev's original
six-month Berlin limit ex
pired). That the Soviet public real
ly feared a war was well in
dicated by Khrushchev him
self in at least one public
speech when he took pains to
reassure the people that he
did not see any war clouds
in the sky at that time.
Sympathy for West
The Berlin situation is one
time when the Russian people
readily express in private
some sympathy for the West
ern position. They know full
well' who is trying to change
the status quo in central Eu
rope and at what risk.
And if they needed an ex
ample of how complicated a
thing can be when it physical
ly involves the East and West,
Berlin h?s given it to them.
The Soviet people are hav
ing to trim down their hopes
only because they let them
grow too big at the start. In
tr-ur relief at seeing the Stal
in era end in 1953, many Rus
sians flew to the opposite ex
treme, thinking that Soviet
American relations would
scon climb back up to the
happy level of World War II.
Now they realize that this
canot be, at least not for a
long time.
They are becoming recon
ciled to the permanent exist
ence of tension and would be
glad if only there could be
steady small improvements on
the international scene.
A similiar attitude of ac
ceptance is being adopted to
ward some aspects of the do
mestic situation. "
Travel Far Off
All Russians are aware that
the epoch of unrestricted
travel abroad - when anyone
with the rubles can buy a
holiday ticket to- London or
New York - is far off in
the future. Even the oppor
tunities for chaperoned, group
tourism in the West will re
main very, limited for some
time to come
the new Pacific highway freeway of fill dirt. The ordinance
would be in effect for three years or. until a permanent
county zoning ordinance is voted on at the polls. A public
hearing on the proposed interim zoning ordinance is sched
uled for Sept. 23.
The feeling of being "coop
ed up" is widespread, among
Soviet youth especially.
But like good soldiers, the
intelligent ones are searching
for reasons- which they can
accept for this continued ab
normal situation. One put it
this way to a visiting Ameri
can. "You have to understand
that our Communist Party is
involved in a brand new ex
periment of building a society,
and it does not want to let
in foreign influences which
might slow it down or upset
the apple cart."
The' American said he un
derstood, but that he didn't
think the apple cart was in
any danger of being upset.
The Russian nodded and ad
mitted the reasoning was a
little outmoded. "You see,"
he continued, "the trouble is
that our government does not
trust its people enough. Other
wise it would let more of
them travel abroad."
The Soviet people are also
thoroughly convinced now, if
they ever had any doubts, that
the Communist Party will
never loosen its control over
literature, art and other fields
of human expression.
They expect that more va
riety and, experimentation in
fiction, music, painting and
sculpture will come only very
gradually.
Behind or above the entire
situation in Russia at present
is Nikita Khrushchev, and he
is still looked upon by his
people as a progressive leader
and an innovator. If some
secretly think that he is be
coming a little too full of his
own importance, they do not
talk about it.
View Summed Up
A Soviet engineer in Tash
kent, Uzbekistan, summed up
the popular view of the Rus
sian premier this way:
"Our Khrushchev is a good
sort. He mixes with people."
His remark implied a sharp
contrast with Stalin', who shut
himself up in the Kremlin
during the post-war years.

timism about the future that

followed Stalin's death has
subsided in Russia. It natural
ly had to, for in 1954-55 it was
like long dammed-up water
which had suddenly found a
outlet.
Now the Russians are tail

pull which they know is
ahead, to raise living stand

The British newspapers
complained Hagerty failed to

what Eisenhower did. A Lon

"Are any of us to take
these briefings seriously? Are
we going to hear anything
about the great international
issues or are we simply going
to hear what they ate?" he
said. -
Hagerty explained he was
allowed to tell only what the

Wall Street Chatter
New York -(UPD- When the

"The stock market is gross

"Sooner or later it may be ex

of which could shock the en

Value Line says stock prices
are living on borrowed time
and notes that the break - if
and when it occurs could ac

It adds that the final reck

California!! To
Be Questioned in
Idaho Slaying
Gooding, Idaho-(UPD-A Cali
fornian w'iO bought license
plates in Idaho last Monday
will be questioned in Montana
this week about the gunshot
slaying of Dr.. John Hunt Jr.
Hunt, 37, a Portland, Ore.,
forestry pathologist recently
appointed to an assistant pro
fessorship at Yale, was found
dead in his station wagon last
Tuesday. He had been shot
twice in the head by a .44 or
.45 caliber pistol.
His station wagon was
found parked in desert sage
brush near Bliss.
Sheriff Keith Anderson of
Gooding county indicated he
would leave here either today
or Tuesday for Boulder,
Mont., where the man is in
custody.
Had Green Car
The man will be questioned
about the Hunt shooting be
cause he was driving a dark
green Oldsmobile with Idaho
license plates when arrested
by the Montana highway pa
trol. The car, 1948, model, is
similar in description to one
seen following Dr Hunt's sta
tion wagon across the -desert
Monday evening.
Anderson said the Calif or
nian purchased Elmore county
license plates at Mountain
Home last Monday-the day
authorities believe the pathol
ogist was killed.
And the California's car,
Anderson said, had blood
stains in it. A paper sack in
the rear seat of the car also
had blood on it, he said. The
man told Montana authorities
he had cut his finger.

Lack off Press
Meeting Angers
British Writers
London - (UPD - British and
continental journalists reacted
bitterly today to the an
nouncement that President
Eisenhower would not hold a
press conference here or in
Paris, as he did in Bonn.
"Why a press conference
for the Germans, many of
whom only recently were de
Nazified, and not one here?"
one reporter asked after Brit
ish spokesman Harold Evans
told a press briefing of the
President's decision.
Presidential Press Secre
tary James C. Hagerty was
asked what reasons the Presi
dent gave for refusing to meet
the press.
No Reason Given
"I never give any reason
for a decision of the Presi
dent," Hagerty replied.
The reporters were further
angered when Evans added
that there would be no com
munique from Eisenhower's
talks with Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan.
.Reporters, hoping to Sal
vage something, asked wheth
er Hagerty and Evans would
be available after tonight's
joint television program to
"clarify" the President's and
Prime Minister's statements.
"The President and the
Prime Minister's remarks, I
would hope, will not need
clarification," Hagerty replied.

Oxnard, about 80 miles north,
and then back to Los Angeles

After nearly eight hours,
Bentley noticed that Goldie
had curled up on Savoy's lap,
purring loudly to occasional
