Many Aspects Assailed They also have assailed many aspects of American life such as sports, politics, business ana social activities, Taking -all Ihcse elements lo- gether, thc Voice of America be- jan telling the world that ihe Soviet Union was conducting a "hate America" campaign, blackening the reputation of a whole people for thc first time in Soviet history. In recent days two Soviet pub- 1 icnt Ion 5, "News" and "New Times," have carried aiiicles disavowing any such campaign, and re-slating Hie familiar line that the Russians love everybody. Similar denials and protests have been voiced by Russian radio com- nenlators usually in English or some other non-Russian language.

One. of the interesting thi about the denials, authorities oday, is that they have been di- toward the world outside of Russia while the hale campaign has been heaviest in publications ind radio broadcasts in the Russian angiiage, directed to the Rs- ian people.
