New Encyclopedia Gives Communists Low-Down on U.S. MOSCOW, USSR-The Russians have published a new encyclopedia which includes 50 pages of text and illustrations on America. It described the United States as strongest, most aggressive of the imperialist powers and heads the imperialistic, anti-democratic camp. The States, it said, not only assumed the dominant position on the entire continent, but appropriated even the name acquiring that right force, dreadnaughts and It also accused, or described, the United States as acquiring incredible riches as a result of World War II and affords the best example of the rottenness of the parasitism of the capitalist system. The section also described the United States as a country rampant with racialism and discrimination against national minorities.

It printed photographs of public lynch- ings and segregation. Illustrating disparities in the distribution of wealth it placed side by side pictures of Wall Street and slum areas, official buildings and a one room Virginia Negro school, a plantation and a picture of milk being poured into sewers to keep up prices. It defined the American Federation of Labor (AFL) as unions embodying the labor aristocracy, headed by a corrupt clique of reactionary leaders and agents of imperialism in the labor movement The volume was edited by Sergei Vavilov, president of the academy of sciences. 51-Year-Old Bicyclist Pedaled 300,000 Miles TORONTO, Canada Basil Raynham of Toronto has only been in an automobile six times in his life and on a streetcar only seven times. The wiry 51-year-old has logged about 300,000 miles through England, Canada, and the United states since 1914 on his bicycle.

When he came to Canada from England in 1923, he had traveled only 50,000 miles, but has made up for it since then. Trips to South Carolina, Quebec City and the Adirondacks added to his score. Wright-Cross Hold High Gain Record lor Bulls West Texas State hauled in the national offensive championship among the nation's small colleges as released in statistics report from New York. The Buffaloes, Border Conference champions and Sun Bowl hosts, blasted out an average of 465.8 yards per game in their 10 outings of the season to far outdistance their nearest rivals. The famed Buff Wright-Cross offensive punch performed by 195- pound Charlie Wright and 150- pound Bill Cross placed one-two in the national rushing department to break the combination record of 1664 yards held by Doc Blanchard and Glen Davis.

The famous Army duo set the mark in their final year with the Cadets.

Attica's Cows Stopped From Eating Greek Walls WASHINGTON, D. Marshall plan experts have finally decided they know why bossy has been chewing down stone walls in Attica, Greece. Agricultural specialists for the ECA discovered that bossy was gulping whitewash and mortar merely to satisfy her craving for she had been missing out on in her basic diet of straw.

Experimenting with various minerals, the experts found that pure marble dust was the cheapest source of calcium for the cows. A hundred pounds costs the dairyman 33 cents, and bossy's daily ration adds up to a mere three ounces. Today the stone walls of Attica are well preserved. And bossy gets ner calcium in doses of marble dust, which is either mixed with her other food or simply left in a convenient trough. The ECA experts hope to get the word around to other sections of Greece, now that walls have been saved.
