la,-1340 - siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiinnnfiniiimmmifinmnniminimiwm Nibbling At The News with ROBERT LANE niiiHiiimmiimiimmmiiiminiiimtffliimiiiimimiiHif . & Waiting Game Colonel William Terry, the caustic-tongued manager of the . New York: Giants, thought him - self to be extremely facetious-not ■ long ago when he asked, “Are the < Brooklyn Dodgers still in the league?” The story of how this - remark so infuriated the Dodgers and caused them to ruin, the . Giants’ pennant aspirations needs no elaboration here. ■Paralleling that incident with a current one ih the field of in ternational relations, one might ask today, “Is Russia still a part •of Europe?” The most amazing and strictest •censorship in wartorn Europe is . • not taking place in Great Britain, Germany, Fiance or Italy, as one . might suppose, hut in that wide •expanse of territory loaded with -undeveloped natural and mineral resources, known as Soviet Russia. Since last January news reports ■concerning the activities of a cer tain Joseph Stalin have depreci ated to the extent that today they •are practically non-existent. The Soviet Union has ceased its. for mer policy of applauding the ex ploits of Adolf Hitler as he con tinues his campaign to subject -western Europe to-German domi nation. Instead, the Soviet press has oc casionally printed articles, which though carefully camouflaged, gave hints of encouragement to Britain to hold out. The vilifica tion of the Allies in Russian pub lications became less prominent as Germany continued to .gain, and the few reports that are seep ing through from Moscow today have taken on the tone of British optimism. .■ "Whilei'Efirope has assumed all the. aspects of a jig-saw puzzle, Joseph Stalin has taken oh a role of complacency as he quietly di- rects the destinies of the Soviet Union. Certainty the Supreme So- viet has not forgotten Herr Hit- ler’s statement that someday “I will subdue those Russian dogs.” Foreign observers refuse to pre dict on which side the Soviet will decide to play ball,; but they do agree that Russia 'is playing a waiting game, preparing to accept the side which offers the best terms.. Should the British offer be most enticing to Joseph Stalin, Herr Adolf might wake up with the “Red Menace” pounding at his back door.

This column, a bi-weekly fea ture of the Daily Collegian, is open to all members of the stu dent body and faculty; If you have read a book that you would like- to recommend for either general or specialized reading, whether fiction or non fiction, the editors would be pleased to have a brief review of your suggestion. Today’s choices have universal appeal, but are “musts” for jour nalists: “Countty Editor” by Henry Beetle Hough and “Father Was An Editor” by Joshua K, Bolles. -Hough’s volume has al ready received much praise, and is now climbing the best-seller lists.

There isn’t much that can happen on a ■'weekly that didn’t happen, to Hough, but he and his wife and their publication lived through all catastrophes that struck Martha’s Vineyard, and while they haven’t prospered, they have progressed, and they have at least endured. Particularly fine are those chapters toward the close of the book dealing with the con trast of city dailies and cobntry weeklies, and those pages in which Hough sets forth his edi torial philosophy. “Father Was An Editor” also concerns New England publishing. Bolles’ father, a contemporary of Clarence pay’s sire, is much like Day, Sr.' He storms and rants, but he is honest and sincere. If you read “Country Lawyer” by Bellamy . Partridge, or “Country HOW GOOD IS THE PENN STATE TEAM THIS FALL? SSS S2»*=MSs£?£ IntTttSS, shocking chapter of Justory, hitherto never told. No. 1.

As Editor Bolles didn’t have a staff of reporters (Other than the usual social cor respondents) he roamed the streets himself, chatting with all comers, on corners, in barber shops, or at the station. He wrote most of his Own copy, and never missed a chance to rouse the town with his editorials on controver sial issues. He was a fighter, a father, and an editor, whom you’ll like.
