Among both types. Gouzenko said, "there are some who learn to like the way people are treated in the United States and Canada."

A. W. "Red" Motley of New York, president publisher of Pa rade Publications, said that to boost rates "in advance of a real cleanup would result in casing the pressure for improvement, and in a short while conditions- in tne postal system would be as bad as before, only this time more firmly fixed than ever." Addressing the winter conference of the American Marketing Assn. here.

Motley said "some progress has been made during tne past year in cutting out waste and inefficiency and in improving the morale of postal employes." But he added that much remains to be done to eliminate "deep seated conditions of many years' standing." Noting that Postmaster General Summcrfield Is" planning to ask Congress for further increases in postal rates, Motley said: "Businessmen simply can't sec how the postmaster general can hope to establish fair and sound postal rate schedules without first of all putting the postal system on a sound, modernized basis." A rate increase at this time, he said, could have adverse effects on business generally. Associated With Dr. R. E. Worsley R.

McCarthy (R-Wis), chairman of senate investigtaions subcommit tee and for years a controversial figure because of his searches for Communists in government. Doing Good Job I think he is doing a good job," Gouzenko said, "but he would do a much better job, obviously, if had documentary evidence. But in his job he is doing the right thing because he is bringing into the open many things which many peo ple are trying to use as excuses and pretexts I tmnk we snouid neip to make his work better than it is." Gouzenko said he almost never heard the names, either in Ottawa Moscow, of American agents who were supplying the Soviets with secret data. They were customarily referred to by "cover names," he said. He said the Soviet apparatus as "extremely efficient," and that he was sometimes surprised himself "when I saw in Ottawa how they brought by the suitcase the original documents and blueprints from the National Research Council, from the munitions supply office'.

He said the directors of the Soviet spy system "had great respect" for the FBI. Gouzenko was interviewed by two U. S. News and World Report staff members in a Canadian city the magazine did not name. Soviet Reds (Continued From Page 1) 200 million, these people may now number in the neighborhood of 40 million.

These are the people who by their own efforts and talents or party have been living better, getting a share of the good things of life. They include the empire builders in the farflung republics, a sturdy stock of stubborn colonists. All of these people are just as interested as their Western counterparts in maintaining their status and passing on the good things to their children. May Be Too Late When the time comes to attempt to call a halt to these developments, the Communist party may find it is too late. No longer able to rely on the ruthless methods of a Stalin in a society several generations removed from czarism and violent revolution, the party may find itself unable to check the trend.

Already it exhibits a growing nervousness at the demanding tone coming from the people. If the Soviet Union accomplishes in 10 years what it claims it will accomplish in three, it can become a mighty nation, indeed. But if it accomplishes these things, Russia is likely to be a changed nation, too.
