Since propaganda came of age as a political weapon, it has not always been so easy for the peoples of the world to measure the true direction of particular The editors of Fortune Magazine, an ambitious issue aimed at defining the "nature and character of American life, have come up with ah idea that should help us to gauge readily the direction.of any revolution. The key to this notion is in the magazine's title for the issue: "U.S.A., The Permanent Revolution." What Fortune contends is that in very real sense there- has been only one revolution. That' revolution, say the edi- tors, is man's casting of of the shackles of enslavement. It Began with the Christian assertion of riiarfii individual dignity, and the broth- erhpod' of man. It progressed unevenly and yet steadily as man gained his basic economic and political freedoms and sur- rounded them with the safeguards of law Insofar as man is still bound by eco- wise government restriction, he con; iioraic by prejudice, by un- tinues to strive for the enlargement of his liberty; Thus the ore revolution goes on, as Vhf.

of freedom are pushed forward. Fortune sees the United States as the outpost of this unending struggle, the "permanent revolution" is most energetically pressed. In this view, every revolution that has contributed to man's emancipation is but 'a part of the one great advance toward fulfillment of the individual's richest capacities. Conversely, every revolution that has reversed the tide and led man back toward is more properly labeled That is the simple guide the Fortune adea offers. Looking at any revolution, yourself; "Does this mean more-- or "iless for individual men? Does 'it or does it not mean a better chance for to develop his own powers as he wishes, within the limits necessary to the same rights for all other in- divitluals?" If the answer to such questions is then you are plainly dealing with I a i By this measure, the Communist revo- of 1017, carried out in the name of sthe "people," is unmistakably a counter- irevQlutipn.

Communism does not exalt ithe individual. It declares that he exists the stats, and that the state'---r the community of individuals is all itn- It does not even talk of people 3 as' treats of them as "masses."

We, hot the Communists, are the real revolutionaries. We have the only cause worth having in this world man himself, So let us not cringe before a doctrine which tries to make of slavery something humanly desirable.

TODAY Everybody's Cot His Own Problems Here By JAMES MARLOW WASHING'TON-- Things are getting so tough that Joe, Stalin is talking to himself and guys are asking.

bow they cac slip a fast one over en the 4)4 lady. Maybe it just soes to show that while and senators and generals and generalissimos are having worries, a lot of other people must be having worries, too. It was only last week that Joe Stalin, who aeemi to have something bothering him, had an interview with himself. Of course, the stories out of Moscow said SUlin gave an interview to a reporter from Pravda, the Russian newspaper. But since Joe controls the paper and everybody working for it and everything that goes into it, it all wound up with talking to Joe and Joe asking'Jpe question? which Joe answered.

And a letter from a guy who's in a kind of pickle at horns and he must want someone to talk to, besides his wife, because he wrote me a fairly long letter. Judging from what he said, I guess his old lady would pMt hair with a coffee pot if she recognized him and her in the letter and found out what he was iip to. So just in case, I'll change the letter a bit but in only one. place. I'll change the number of years.

But all the rest of the letter which follows is just as he it. "Dear "My problem is one that Uncle Sam 'has probably never considered. I have been married to- my wife 17 years and also have a widowed mother who requires my aid. "Helping my mother has been a sore spot with my wife and- more so since my assistance: does not equal of my mother's income. So I cannot take credit for her as a dependent on my income tax return.

"A few months ago I received additional compensation which I have concealed front wifey in order to. assist my mother without having to go through hell at home. "However, I am not going to ftiliihoid reporting the added income to Uncle Sam; In fact, I can't, because my employer turns in his report said monies. Here comes the question: "Suppose I make out a return showing my old (previous) income and have my wife sign it. Then I make a correct return and copy her signature on it-- and destroy the false return.

"Technically, that would be forging my wife's name but I wouldn't be cheating Uncle Sam and I'd be free from all worry. "If I ever got caught by the Department of Internal Revenue for forging my wife's name, would they prosecute me under the cricum- stances? "I'll wager, millions of men would appreciate some comment by you regarding this matter since I'm sure not all wives are aware of their husband's exact income, and a lot of men wondering how to get by at this time of year. "Very Truly Yours, "XXXSCXXXXXX" Well, now, Jack, I'U tell you how it is You'll have to excuse me. The phone's ringing. But I just wanted lo tell you I showed your letter to some of the boys In the office.

They're almost all married. I've worked with them for years. But until I heard their comment on your letter I never realized what a bunch of experts on matrimony they are. Right off the bat when they read your letter, quick as a wink, they said: "Uncle Sam ain't his only problem." ANALYZING THEJVEWS Stalin Isn't Holding Out Any Olive Branch By DEW1TT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Aifsirs Analyst Tha full Significance of Premier Stalin's foreign policy statement remains obscure, but tae con- census among western nations is that the Bolshevist leader isn't holding out any olive branch to the democracies. That is to say, his pronouncement propaganda calculated lo bolster the Communist cause.

About the only point of agreement western statesmen find with the Bolshevist prime minister Is his statement that war is not yet inevitable. Of course If Stalin were turning to peace suddenly after having waged world revolution un. ceasingly for more than a genera'don, it would be about the biggest back-flop of history. So we can cross off any Idea that there has been any sudden change in Moscow's policy of continuing the ideological war to the bitter end. Naturslly speculation has produced numerous Ideas of what Stalin may have in mind.

One that is being discussed in American big business circles is that the primtf minister, by suggesling the peace theme, may be trying to produce an economic depression in the United states where the economy now is based heavily on defensive rearmament. The rearmament program, for instance, helps the Stock Market to maintain a high peak. Abandonment of rearmament would cause a serious dislocation. The causing of economic deyiresslon in non- Communist countries, in order to soUcn them up for lied conquest, is one of Moscow's favorite tactics. And it is one most devastating weapons.

Stalin's assertion that the United Nations is dooming itself lo disintagration, with America leading it to war, also has attracted considerable speculation. Some observers figure that he may be preparing to withdraw Russia and her satellites from the peace organization. DENTON W. Gray. A.

ROGERS MR. BYCULLA, by Eric Linklater (Hai-court, Brace; On the jacket of this little novel, there is quaint, grisly picture of the practice of Thuggee in India. The Thug has raised one foot ailely to his victim's back, and is giving the man's head a jerk to break his neck, quick, snap, like that. Sir Simon Killaloe, owner of the picture, sold it to help pay for the defense of his wastrel sou.Ronnie accused of murdering Fanny Bruce, who had been earning iier living in the streets and wanted to better her condition by marrying Ronnie. He had been planning to make her his wife.

too. when she wai found in a lane with her neck broken. The purchaser of this 18th century art work is Dr. George Lessing, a psychiatrist. His wife Claire is Ronnie's cousin, and she has had an affair with him, still cannot resist him, and believes his protestations that he is not a murderer.

One of her husband's BROADWAY patients is the man whose name gives this novel its title. It is Sir Simon who sends Mr. Byculla, with Whom he shares an acquaintance with India, to the psychiatrist to clear up some trouble he has been having with dreams and nightmares. And it is important to note, because the author among other things is clever with a plat, that the same five-pound note is used to pay Fanny for her favors, the doctor for his services, und Sir Simon for his picture; and also for a ticket abroad; and it has other purposes, too. There are three broken necks by the end of this story in addition to the one on the jacket.

But it is a gentle and fond assassin whom we meet here. He says in effect, like the dutiful parent, that this hurts me more than it hurts you. Can a man be murdered just because he deserves love and pity, and is it murder, or just a passing on? How far can a henefaclcr go? I hope the fellow never feels sorry for me, but I'm to en- countor him in this curious and intriguing book.

She doesn't have that poundage now. So permit me to say that I think Miss Wilson after a out of her NBC broadcast. She had almost nothing to say except that she sang and she told how she changed her name. Originally her name was EsVielman, her parents having been Lt.

Orchestra conductor, Skitch Henderson, heard Eileen Wilson, then in Los Angeles, and signed her for his show. she found openings with the Osborne Orchestra, then with Lou Bring, Ai Sack and Ray Hcrbeck bands. Eileen was the singing voice of Ava Gardner in two of the latter's motion pictures. Eileen's voice was dubbed onto the sound track of "The and "One Touch of Venus" in sequences in which Miss Gardner was supposed -to sing.

Oul Our Way Hal Boyle. Back From Korea, Is Finding That America Has Changed By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK-Ul--Coming back from Korea to America today is a disturbing adventure.

It is a voyage from an uneasy war to an uneasy peace. The soldier there Is less tense in many ways than is the civilian here. But I suppose the extraordinary tension here, so surprising at first glance, is only normal, considering the troubled times. Nothing causes tension more than uncertainty. The soldier in Korea is mere relaxed in some ways than the civilian here because he basically knows better what to expect.

On the next hill, or the hill beyond the next hill, are enemy Chinese or North Korean Reds, and he must fight them. But the American civilian is beset by nameless fears about this clouded future. He doesn't know for sure what is coming across his horizon next, and the shadows he sees are black indeed. The chief worry everybody to have is, "I don't know what to plan for." Everywhere there are signs of a tremendous prosperity, enriching more people than any other period of good times In history. More people have more money to spend than ever before.

And as yet there is more to buy with it than ever before. But it is a tasteless prosperity, HOLLYWOOD a banquet of plenty under that new Sword of Damocles--the atom bomb. The greatest shock of my return home came when 1 entered the elevator to ride up to my apartment. The first thing I taw was a poster telling what to do in the event of an air raid. That jolted me.

A year ago it would have been thought silly to pul air raid warnings in Manhattan. Another thing that struck me was this: A profound disillusionment with the United Nations and a tendency to make it the scapegoat of our own uncertainty. Few soldiers in Korea spend much time debating the shortcomings of the United Nations. But I don't recall any blaming it for the present plight of the world. As more and more parents Invest their sons beneath the flag, the homesickness for.

Jimmy Baldwin, Grady Denman and Jack Bonds were discussing the unusual coincidence of the appearance of a fine article in the Dallas News about E. P. Simmons, president of Sanger Brothers, and his death on the came day of a heart attack. It seems that a radio broadcast had been scheduled for later in the day, lo supplement the newspaper article; and the radio time was used to tell of his death. This is a striking example of the uncertainty of life and death.
