Soviets Push Campaign To Cut Drinking By RICHARD KASISCHKE MOSCOW (#—The Soviet press, pushing a campaign against exces- sive drinking, has come up with the story of a young chap who fell off the wagon because he heard nothing but enticing songs about drinking. It seems that Vasily Ruchkin/| a his vodka. But members of e Komsomol, Young Communist League, talked to himi and got a promise of sobriety. “The Komsomol committee,” re- ports Komsomol Pravda, the youth league’s paper, ‘‘got Ruchkin to feel ashamed. The committee sec- retary advised him to go to movies, concerts and the theater as a way of keeping him out of | bars... “Ruchkin decided to invite a/ young girl and they went to the cinema. But there they saw a comedy in which the main char- acter sometimes drank vodka. As if further to’ test Ruchkin, the moyie showed tables filled with drinks.” Ruchkin saw his girl friend home and returned to his own lodgings. He switched on the radio. He got a musical program in which they told about eating cutlets and drinking Moscow vodka... . “Ruchkin did not approve this. So he took up a copy of Literary Gazette and read a short play which told about people drinking champagne to celebrate some- body’s departure . . . Next day he visited. some girl friends in their rooms to play phonograph records —only to avoid accepting an invita- tion to go out with drinking boys, What did the girls do but play records like ‘Let’s Drink to Baku’ and ‘Lord Grant us Our Glass Is Never Empty.’ . . . “When he complained, the girls said, ‘Why, tis is art.’... So he went to a theater and in the play they also drank. He walked home and saw an electric advertisement saying ‘Drink Wine and Cognae of Armenia... . “And on his way home Ruchkin wondered why heroes of drunken- ness ap the singers are not rep- timanded, why everything that is harmful is portrayed so nicely, why the radio without any shame broadcasts songs about drinking, why playwrights make their main characters drinkers and why there are no umalcholic songs and no plays about i icc people.” Foreign Aid Aid Bill Roll Call Slated Today WASHINGTON (Already ten- tatively, approved without major change, a $5,208,419,979 bill to fi- nance the foreign aid program awaited a formal House roll call today. Assured passage will send it to the Senate, where it will join a separate measure authorizing the program, the Senate planned to take up the House-passed author- ization today, its long fight over atomic energy legislation finally ended. Preliminary approval of the ap- propriations measure after seven hours of House debate yesterday brought from Majority Leader Hal- leck (R-Ind) a prediction that the House would be ready to adjourn finally by the end of this week. However, ‘it must wait for the Sen- ate, whose leaders now are shoot- ing for Aug. 7 adjournment. Every effort to change the aid bill as recommended by the House Appropriations Committee was beaten down decisively. Major fights were on amendments to cut sharply allotments for military aid for Europe and Southeast Asia. Re- ductions totaling 512 million dol- lars in these two programs were proposed by Rep. Glenn R. Davis (R-Wis) and were fought by Re- publican Leer with eavy Demo- cratic As it. is, ra bill is $12,213,554 below the total amount requested by President Eisenhower for the present fiscal year. The cut in- cludes $542,605,805 in new funds re- quested and $269,607,74% in funds left over and unobligated from pre- vious appropriations. The latter now revert to the Treasury. Biggest cuts approved by the House included $430,479,554 in new and old funds for general military assistance to non-Communist na- tions and 169 million for direct sup-| port of military forces already ins existence. The bill allots $2,895,944,000 in new cash and $2,312,475,979 in car- ry-over funds. An estimated eight billions in previously approvriated funds not yet spent but already obligated would remain in the for- eign aid coffers. ANTIQUE NEEDLE TAKEN FROM FOOT SANTA ANA, Calif.

An old Navy cargo ship, the only | such vessel afloat in the world to- day. Her antenna, a retractable device which can shoot up to 172 feet, is pulled into the air by a small balloon which floats at 740! feet. For 12 hours each day the call goes out: “This is the Courier, seaborne relay base for the Voice of America.” The call is in 16 lan- guages, including Turkish, Arbic, Persian, Urdu, Ukrainian and Russian. The Courier staff's first job is! to make friends for America in the | Near East countries. Its second job is to beam the American story be- hind the Iron Curtain into south- ern Russia. Programs to the Near East are concentrated between 6:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., when citizens of the area collect in coffee houses to talk ; and listen. They especially like light music, drama and short | stories. Programs to Russia start after midnight when people with hidden Tadios can take the chance of listening. Capt. 0.C.B. Wev, the Courier’s commanding officer since she was commissioned, feels certain the message is reaching an increasing audience. Discussing the Courier in Washington, on his way to a new assignment as chief intelligence of- ficer for the port of New Orleans, he said: “This spring we noticed the Rus- sians were particularly anxious to jam our programs to the Ukraine. We don’t think they succeeded be- cause we use so many channels at different times of the day. “But their jamming ties in with | the rumors we have from other sources that the Communists are having trouble controlling the peo- ple of the Ukraine.” Voice of America staff checks show that letters from the Near East have trebled since the Couri- er dropped anchor at Rhodes. From Iran, alone, 2,326 letters commenting pn Voice programs came in during April. The Courier, 338 feet long and weighing 5,800 tons, has a crew of 87 enlisted men, 10 officers and 3 Voice radio technicians. Her pro- grams are written in New York and Cairo. Cervix Cancer Causes Told By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE SAO PAULO, Brazil ) — The | physical—and perhaps emotional— | stresses in a woman's life were| suggested today as a_ possible | cause of cancer of the cervix, one of the greatest killers among the disease’s many forms. The theory was advanced to*the sixth International Cancer Con- gress by Dr. Ernest Ayre of the Cancer Institute at Miami, Fla. The cervix is the neck or lower | part of the uterus or womb. It is | one of the most common sites of | cancer among women. Dr. Ayre gave this explanation of his concept, which he said in- volved a kind of chain-reaction ir- ritation of thé cells forming the tip of the cervix: It may begin with an inflamma- tion in the uterus continuing for a long time. The inflammation | causes the release of mucous | which has been found to contain | the female sex hormone. The cervix normally is exposed to this hormone at only certain times each month. But continuous exposure could well be an addi- tional irritant to the cervical cells. The mucous secretion also is pos- “Voice” Messages To Near East | horse country to Texas today. sibly alkaline enough to affect | Base Carries Watch Import Tariff Boost Made By Ike By WHITNEY SHOEMAKER WASHINGTON (®—President Ei-| senbower has raised the tariff on. | many watches manufactured | abroad but a spokesman for U.S. | watchmakers says most Ameri- | cans will still buy Swiss imports. The President’s decision none- theless was received with pleasure by the domestic industry and criti- | cized from other quarters. Swiss Minister. Charles Brugg- mann said it dealt a “serious blow” to his country’s relations with the United States. He said the step hadn’t been anticipated from a friendly government. Eisenhower announced the first major tariff boost of his adminis- tration late yesterday. Effective to- day except on shipments already |in transit and cleared through cus- toms by Aug. 26, it hikes the duty as much as 50 per cent on watches with no jewels or no more than 17 jewels. The effect will be to raise im- Ported watch prices $3.50 to $5. The Federal Tariff Commission had recommended the increase. It said heavy imports were hurting the American industry. The White House said raising tariffs also would keep the indus- try in shape to produce watch movements and other precision de- vices “necessary for national de- fense.” Paul F. Mickey, vice president of the American Watch Manufac- turers Assn., said the tariff in- crease gives American producers “a chance to survive” in the face of a flood of Swiss watches that has “literally strangled our in- dustry.” He said the boost still wouldn't equalize costs. and predicted Swiss imports “will continue to supply ia majority of the American mar- et.” On the other hand, CIO Presi- dent Walter Reuther labeled the | move “‘iragic’” and said it woul!) antagonize “countries whose friendship we seek.” Record Price Bid For Thoroughbred Yearling In Ky. LEXINGTON, Ky. (P—A fabu- lous $86,000 bid for a chestnut son of Nasrullah, a record American price for a thoroughbred yearling, echoed from Kentucky’s Bluegrass F. J. Adams of Fort Worth, re- tired oil executive, bought the colt for the Adams Syndicate from the | consignment of Ciifford Mooers’ | Walnut Springs Farm. Adams, a newcomer to the Breeders’ Sales Co. summer auc- | tions, is retired vice president of | the Gulf Oil Corp. and Gulf Re- fining Co., and a director of the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show in Fort Worth. The contending bidder for the | Nasrullah-Lurline B. colt was A. E. Reuben of Toledo, Ohio, master of | Hasty House Farm. Reuben gave $23,100 for a yearling from the | Mooers’ consignment in the 1952 | | summer sale and the colt, Hasty Road, became the leading money | winner among juveniles in 1953 and captured the Preakness this spring. The old record for a ,yearling was the $75,000, which Eastland Farm Syndicate gave in 1928 for New Broom. Nasrullah was second among the leading sires in England last year. | The imported stallion is the sire of Noor, who four times raced Ci- tation, the turf’s only millionaire, some cells. Ayre said the process could} cause scar tissue to form at the} critical site. Such tissue would de- prive some cells of nutrients nec- essary for health and force them to live at a disadvantage, which perhaps would be enough to turn | them cancerous. The specialist said emotions can affect the glandular and nervous system, and emotional stress could jalso affect adversely the cervical cells. The great possibility of cancer| | prevention lies in learning how | cancer begins and interrupting the Process, Ayre said. He told the congress the most practical pres- ent preventive is the regular ex- | amination of cells which always | are being cast off from the cervix. | In such examinations, experts can | watch for signs of changes which | indicate the cells are cancerous. | | —____— | into defeat.
