Differences Enumerated Hero urc aomo of tho great (inferences between Kuaalan and AmericiM newspapers aiide from tile obvloua one of public ownership mid direction: The Russians don't believe In Ctibllnhiim ni-wa ubout cventa efore they hnppen. Tho fact Unit the hltf three muy have, uureed to hold a meeting la not newa until there la un official announcement. In the U. S., a jilory of audi a meeting ahead of time la acoop for the new-, man who wrote it and of Inter cat to tho newapupcr reader. The Runalana don't believe 1 criino la newa except a report of the trial and penalty aa a mean of teaching that crime doesn't pay. In Ruiiaiu a train wreck, a building burning, a ahip ainking, in not newa except when it happen on a big icale abroad. The private live of promi nent peraonalltiea aro not newa and the Ituaaiuna cun't under ilnnd why they ahould be. Tho Ituaaiana cannot under aland the explanation that a paper' acceptance of an adver tiaement doea not give tho ad vertiaer a voice In the paper. Claahea of personalities at in ter national meetlnga are not newa to Ituaaiana. Beginning to End The Kuaalan writer writes hla atory on the assumption that it la going to be read from begin ning to end, and generally la. Ho think It' idiotic to put all tha new in the first puragraph. For one thing, he reasons, it encourage! people to read no further. The Ruaalan newspaperman seldom If ever qucationa the de cisions or policies of hla coun try' leader, Ho believe they are better equipped than he la to handle auch matter. He may raise the ink on his paper with a cuHtlxutlon of aomo farm fore man who la lazy, or some fac tory director who i behind In his work, or i not providing the kind of facilitie and con ditions his workers need and want, but he won't criticize or complain about the system un der which tho foreman or di rector works. To a Ruaalan, society newa, or personal news I so amuaing as presented by American news papers that I've frequently acen Hussinna laughing to aide-aching enthusiasm at the account of a wedding. The Russians have a low opinion of most American news papers, their publishers, editors and writers. They clasa aome of the most severe enemies of the USSR in this group. Tho American newsman In Russia that Is, In the mass I not thought of too highly by the Russians. A rather high Soviet official once said to a member of the stute department who had brought him a particular prob lem concerning a representative of the Amcricun press In Mos cow: "My friend, you and I are too busy to waste time on neurotics." An American newsman's Job I difficult, and often an un pleasant one in Russia. At the same time, the job of handling these newsmen is Just as hard, and unpleaaant to the Ruaslana. The Husaiana do have stan dards of hospitality, of course, and a newsman in the Soviet Union is not only a newsman, but a guest. He get the best the Russians have to offer in many material ways like food, clothes and liVing conditions. On the other hand he doesn't always get what he want in the way of news. hisai.d a news, aimut ratu, o. raiDAT, Jan , isia, rase Tare. The handling of Russian news In Russia is, the Russians be lieve very emphatically, purely a Russian matter. They bitterly resent interfer ence or suggestions from abroad. They do not like to be told how to conduct their affairs, or to be criticized about the way they do it. The Russians are convinced their way is the best way, the only way, and there is not the slightest indication that they are going to change their mind. Any suggestions by the United Nations is likely to be met with rebuff or ignored. The Russian leaders insist their press Is free and they want to keep it that way.
