Whatever Its selling arguments are. they appear to be effective. At any rate, a dis patch from Moscow this morning says: : - "Because of the ' THOROUGH NATURE of the bond selling cam paigns eacn year, nearly every worker and peasant owns some eoviet state bonds." The Soviet government PAYS NO JHTEREST ON ITS BONDS. In- stead. It numbers each bond and every so often It puts all the num bers In a hat and holds a drawing, The holders of the lucky numbers get prizes. , The smallest prize awaraed amounts to 100 per cent of the face value of the bond and the biggest prize Is 100,000 rubles on a bond of the face value of 200 rubles, or 50,000 per cent of the lace value. , ' The dlsoatch explains: - ' "Most important central and lo cal newspapers print the list of winning numbers a few days after the format drawing." ( It adds: - - 1 "SUCH LISTS ARB ONE OP THE BEST READ PARTS OF THE PAPERS. ... , That's An atatamant about Rus sia you can believe. ' - That story is. understandable. .

Russia's communist govern' ment Is simply following an old established custom. Much less understandable are the actions of the communists In Ko rea. With their loud speakers on the front lines blaring statements to the effect that a truce is just around the corner and that the shooting is Just about to stop, they so on lighting- like wildcats. In the 12 hours ending tills morn ing, they are estimated by our side to have fired 111.000 rounds of ar tillery ami mortar, shells-into ur lines. Their previous record, estab lished last month, was a total of 108.000 rounds in 24 hours. Tne fighting of the past few days is es timated toave cost them a total of morri than 4.000 casualties.

It Is designed to guide rescuing planes to a survivor drift ing. in tne sea and let mm communicate- with them when they come close enough. U. S. rights to manufacture the 3-pound -device, called "Sarah, have been acquired by Slmmonds Aerocessories, Inc., Tarrytown, N. Y. from Ultra Electric Ltd., London. The first sales have been made to Grumman Aircraft, Beth- page. N. Y. Grumman plans to use the equip ment fh Its own flight testing pro gram. Sarah also has been demon strated to the Air Force and the Army Field Forces, and the Navy nas made tests at its i-aiuxent, Md., Air Center.' . A flier adrift at sea, wearing1 a Mae West life-Jacket to which Sarah Is attached, merely pulls a wire ring. Thereupon cover flies off, the yellow, steel tape aerial snaps open and the transmitter starts sending messages for' as much as S3 miles, and up to 60,000 I eel. Tne signals may continue lor It hours. In the searching airplane, a three-Inch television screen re. celves the Sarah signals, as green pips or spikes pointing out tne di. rection the plane must fly. - When .the search plane passes over the downed pilot, Baran's signals disappear from the screen. The man at sea then can speak to the airplane pilot througn nis tiny microphone, and can use it as a loudspeaker to hear the pilot.

' Newspapers' Faults Aired CUMBERLAND FALLS STATE PARK, Ky. on The president of the., Associated Press Managing Editors Association asserted Sat urday "we in newspapering are continuing to lose prestige. And we can trace our losses in influence in large part to the one-sided,, biased and . Inefficient coverage we pro vide in our local communities. " Norman E. Isaacs, the APME chief and managing editor of the Louisville Times, in a speech pre pared for delivery before a Joint meeting of the Kentucky Press As sociation and Associated Press members, added that "every com munity knows how many of Its activities go unrecorded and a great many people know from their own personal experiences of the too-frequent misrepresentation of what does happen." Isaacs declared: "we have one function one basic function. It supersedes everything. That func tion Is to convey information, we are common carriers. And we are given privileged rights in the bill of rights for that express purpose. The founding fathers obviously were given freedom of the press. "But freedom of the press can not possibly mean the license to keep the people from knowing. And we keep them from knowing what the real score is every single day of the year by our backward and arrogant methods . of operating newspapers. 'And newspapers are backward and arrogant when they virtually refuse to cover the news of their communities." . CATHERINE OCAMORH KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, Strikes bad, In fact, that most townspeople have depended on other sources for drinking and cooking purposes. For many years, the" Southern Pacific Railway Company has each week spotted a tank car of good water on the spur behind the depot. There is no charge and people carry the water away in Jugs, bottles and buckets. -Only Other .-. source-... are ;., commercial houses which sell bottled water for about 10 cents per gallon. . Early this spring, the City Coun cil decided to try deepening well No. 1 in a search for better water.

When the tow wagon finally came around to check on the car, the driver, found It suspended by chains from a foot-thick limb on a tree some three to four feet In di ameter. ....... ' "I've got an unusual complaint here," the tow wagon operator ra dioed back to the central complaint bureau at police headquarters. "There's a stolen car up a tree."

That about summed up the feel ings of many Americans at the front. , At bunkers along the Western Front, they had some rough words about South Korea's stubborn, 78-year-old president who bitterly op poses the Impending truce. "I'd like to take the old so-and-so with me on patrol torilght and give blm a taste of them mortars," one rasped. Another, getting ready to move out to a particularly vulnerable outpost, spoke up: "I'd ruther take the old blankety blank with me then he'd be sure of getting mor tars. And he could dig his own damned hole, too." "At another bunker, Pvt. Charles Meyers of Chester, Pa., said:. "Sit, out there a few nights with Joe's mortars banging around you and you don't want anything inter fering with a truce." - " Joe's mortars is making aff old man out of me," chimed in Pvt.

"The man had been in Jail for 21 days and Missouri had apparently taken no action to extradite him," Attorney. Ramirez declared. "He was accused of unlawfully remov ing a mortgaged automobile from the state. He had permission from the owner and had been making payments. He still owes 3445 on the car."
