Richards caught his first king salmon the first day he went- fishing How much more important, and how many more lives could be sav- ed by preventing war in the first place by going over the heads of the Kremlin and getting to the Russian pecple. The State Department, is trying to do this in a routine sort of way through its Voice of America. However, radio sets are few in Russia and probably only a fraction of the people ever hear our propaganda. i So here is my suggestion. | The 60 giant B-29's you have sent to Europe will have their ef- fect on the Kremlin. Let’s also make them felt by the Russian people—in an entirely different way-—by having them drop mes- sades of friendship. Actually, the planes will not fly over Russia, so the messages could not be dropped direct. But they will fly a few miles from the border over Germany, and the wind currents are such that small balloons released from the B-29's would float over Russia. . The War Assets Administration informs me that it has half a mil- lon small balloons left over from the war, previously used for weath- | er soundings.
