MOSCOW'S AIR-RAID SHELTERS (Part 2) I felt that much of Moscow's system of air-raid shelters was vulnerable to power-plant failure for not only these reservoirs but also the ventilation systems of their gas-proof shelters were dependent on electric power. The officials I talked with said they had made special provisions for this contingency but apparently they considered them a military secret, for they would not explain further. The officials I talked with were the general in charge of the whole city and the chairman of one of the district Soviets.

The general was a stout, vigorous man of 40. He radiated confidence and good cheer. Whether it's a tradition of the Moscow city government I don't know, but he and his commanders were the best dressed soldiers I met in Russia. Their uniforms were immaculate and carefully tailored, and the general's nails were manicured. He was also the busiest man I met.

He broke the first four appointments we made and a steady stream of people kept coming in and out of his office while we talked. it looked like fireflies. When a piece of shrapnel fell close to the balcony it made a noise like a bat cial associations to co-operate in surveys for post war community development.

All interviews with Soviet officials in their offices have the same routine and almost the same getting. In front of every Russian desk there is a small table, two feet wide and three feet long, set at right angles to it, and covered with green baize. There are straight chairs on either side of this table and the visitor sits in one.

It is very convenient. My interpreter always sat in the other and I could use the table on which to make notes. The introduc- tions, are very formal when you come in and you are usually introduced and shake hands, not only with the cipal, but with everyone in the as well as the inner office. The Russian bows and hands very formally and, if he is a soldier, is more apt to click his heels than not. When everyone is seated, cigarettes are produced and lit.

After the conversation has gone on for a few minutes someone always appears with a tray, carrying mineral water or soda pop. This is put on the little table in front of the desk, the bottles are opened and everyone has a drink.
