But I didn't plan to do anything about it, until I read that "exclu- sive interview" with Nikita- Krus- chev in a daily paper recently. A reporter had written the Russian top dog a letter containing a lot of Tong -winded questions. Nik is no dumbell. He answered them, in his own brand of double-talk. Result was a noisy back patting job by the newspaper, on itself, and a couple of columns of free propaganda for the Kremlin. a * s This annoyed me hugely, so I decided to get the REAL inside story from Russia. And I knew just where to get it. I dropped a line to an old prison -camp friend of mine, a Czech called Joe, ex - pilot. Back in '44, he didn't think much of tithe British, detested the Yanks and French and bitterly hated the Germans. He thought Russia and communism were the answer to man's inhumanity to man, and went off with the Russian 1 BEAT COLD WEATHER WITH Heating Oils (Fuel Oil and Stove Oil) FROM BEN R.

Ilere they are, with his answers, in his own quaint brand off English. Question: Joe, what is it really like in Russia? Answer: So you're a chicken? You been inside a egg? That's what is like, and some day you are fried egg sandwich, no ketchup. * Question: What do the Russian people, not the leaders, but the people, think of the atom bomb and other nuclear weapons? An- swer: Rah! Russian peoples don't know atom bomb from Adam's apple. They crazy, them Russian. Nice people. But dumb. Crazy.

Question: Some experts say there is a strong possibility the Russian people will revolt and destroy the communist regime, as they did the Czarist. What is your opinion? Answer: Oh, sure. Good chance.

DICK CASH LOANS THE ALL.CANADIAN4/ LOAN COMPANY TCA Photo An "Electronic Reservations Brain" was demonstrated recently in Toronto by Trans -Canada Air Lines. The prototype "machine with a memory" was built for TCA by Ferranti Electric of Toronto after being conceived by Lyman Richardson, Communications Analyst with TCA in Montreal. It is expected to provide an up -to -the -second inventory of all available seats and complete a reservation in a matter of seconds. It will reduce by some 60 per cent the three -and -a -half million transactions that are required to board TCA's 250 -thousand passengers a month. The nerve centre which handles all available space throughout the TCA network of some 26,000 route miles, processes 30,000 communications messages a day. The automatic system, if adopted by TCA, will reduce the number of messages by at least 80 per cent.

Crime Statistics By C. J. Harris Many of the Canadians who were stationed in the south of England with this country's World War Two army will remember that at one point during ithe prolonged training period prior to D,day some of the local Englishnewspapers seemed to go out oftheir way to blame ,Canadian servicemen for civilian. crimes committed in the area. For many Canadian soldiers the stay in Britain was long, and there were loiag periods of boredom. Some did commit crimes, petty and otherwise, but the number of Can- adian miscreants was never as great as ik was at one time sup- posed by heal residents: Perspec- bwve was restored when officers representing Canadian and British army headquarters toured the tom, mand area and suggested to local editors ,that it was unfair to Estate in reports of unsolved crimes that a Canadian was probably the culprit. The incident is not recalled here to implyeither dishonor to the Canadians or ,discredit to .the Eng- lish. Neither would be deserved. The story is retold only to illus- trate the point that it Ls a natural reaction --a 'human failing, if you 1 will --4o plane blame en the out- sider. And the same tendency has been apparent here in Canada in the post-war years in that there has been widespread belief that recently -arrived immigrants have been responsible for a high pro- portion of criminal offences. For- tunately, reliable evidence on the subject has been prepared by fed, eral government authorities. It is evidence that completely refutes the charge against our new citizens. The report is based on a study of criminal statistics for the, years 1951.1954. In that period the crime rate among foreign -,born Canadians was less than half the crime rate among native-born Canadians. For every 10,000 males between the .10011101111011111011011/11111100 ages of 15 and 49, there were 86.6 nat'ive.born offenders, only 42.8 foreign -born offenders. The single class of offence in which the for- eign -born rate was higher fiihap the native-born rate was in crimes re- lated to gambling and lotteries. Tho rumor of a high crime rate among foreign born can!: l ians w 11 not die easily. Th f:::..1 -"as re- ported by Ottawa should be em- ployed to sink that rumor wher- ever it pops up.
