Russian Cartoon
Gives Hackneyed
Image of Trouble
Br KEiL A. MARTIN
United Pren International
Washington (UPlt The car
. toon shows a young Negro
student being stopped by po
lice at the entrance 01 an
American university. In the
background is a crowd or aiv
gry racial segregationists bear
ing fiery crosses and signs
which read: "There's the Nig
ger," "No Colored Allowed,"
"Lynch Him," "We Want Seg
regation," and "Colored Man
: On Your Knees."
Pointing to the signs, a
paunchy, scowling sheriff
: stops the Negro and sneers:
i "So you want to study at the
: university, huh? But you can't
' even read?"
The drawing was published
in the Russian cartoon book
"Krokodil" (Crocodile). II was
but one of many illustrations
' on America's racial unrest
which have appeared in So
viet publications during (lie
' last year.
The cartoon illustrates Mos-
; cow's growing preoccupation
: with the U.S. Negro civil
' rights struggle. The upsurge
. of demonstrations during the
last few months has provided
Soviet propagandists with
ample material to test their
satiric skills, poison pens ana
caustic rhetoric.
New commentaries, poems,
: pictures and cartoons are ap'
: pearing regularly in such
' Soviet publications as Izvestia,
the government newspaper;
:' Krokodil, and Peretz (Pepper)
' humor magazines, and New
! Times, a world affairs jour-
j nal.
1 Vicious Picture
As a result, the Soviet peo
ple are receiving a stereo'
typed image of America's ra
cial troubles represented by a
! bruised Negro being dragged
off to jail by gestapo - like
white policemen armed with
billy clubs and aided by vi
cious dogs.
As an example, Izvestia
last June 2 carried three large
news pictures on its front
page. They were headlined,
"The bestial grin of racial
ism." The photographs showed
firemen spraying Negro dem
onstrators with hoses, Negro
women being dragged by 'heir
.feet to police cars, and an
angry crowd of demonstrators
with fists raised high.
In a more recent illustra
.tlon, Krokodil devoted two
pages to. a lengthy poem en
titled, "Christ In Alabama,'
and a 12-by-7 inch picture of
a racial incident in Birming
ham. In the picture, a policeman
held a demonstrator in a
hammer-lock grip while other
police stood watching with
German-Shepherd dogs.
' The periodical noted ihe
"Christian embrace" on the
Negro and described how the
spirit of "brotherly love" had
come to Birmingham.
Russians Taunt
"Look about you," Kroko
dil said. "In front of us is an
open scroll of God's manner
of Christian love: You sec
corpses, instruments of tor
ture, burning streets and pave
ments of blood . . ."
Ironically, the majority of
pictures used in the Soviet
publications come from Amer
ican newspapers, magazines
and wire services.
Under State Department
regulations, Soviet newsmen
are barred from racial hot
spots. There also is a recipro
cal agreement between Mos
cow and Washington which
limits the movement of news
men in both countries unless
special permission is given.
A State Department spokes
man told UPI it has turned
down several requests of
members of Tass, the Soviet
news agency, to go to the
scenes of racial incidents
more than 25 miles outside
New York or Washington.
But, Tass has been free to
cover recent racial troubles
In New York City. And when
Negro demonstrators marched
on Washington, Soviet per
sonnel were tree to record
any incidents.
