Reds Wait for U.S. Bust,'
Prof Says After Europe Trip
The Russian bear is planting a firm toehold on Europe but she
will not strike until the United States is financially exhausted, be
lieves Dr. Carroll D. Champlin, professor of education, after a summer
inspection tour of Europe
"The brain trust of the Kremlin doesn't wish to risk the fruits of
the Revolution with a grasp for European domination at this time,"
Dr. Champlin added, "but is waiting for the United States to tie up its
capital in Europe and overproduce
the hotne demand for consumers'
goods. Then if we go broke, she
can' prove t o Europe the faulty
operation of the capitalistic ma
chinery."
Dr. Champlin, although unable
to get permission to travel behind
the Iron Curtain, fraternized with
Russian citizens and soldiers
working and traveling . in the
countries adjoining the Soviet
Union. The educator also bases his
convictions on interviews with 60-
odd cabinet leaders, ambassadors,
editors, economists, and other key
figures on the European scene.
Red Policy in Europe
In the Slavic bloc of nations the
Soviet Union is backing her
"waiting" policy with actions,
noted Dr. Champlin during his 55-
day jaunt over nine countries (in
cluding Norway, Sweden, Finland,
Poland). Russia has nationalized'
the coal mines and factories of
neighboring satellite nations and
is goading these countries to in
crease• their industrial output, ob
served the professor.
Soviet - sponsored police and
troops are thick in the Slavic
states, Dr. Champlin discovered
during his tour of Co-operatives, l
factories, and foundries in the sec
tor controlled by Kremlin-tutored
officials.
"%UMW'S tactics in the United
States, illustrated by the Vishinsky
speech, are to keep up a bold front
and thus boost morale back
home," said Dr. Champlin.
World War 111 Beliefs
"Despite Russia's sharing of her
home produce with neighboring
political friends, the people are on
a low-level diet and gloomy about
the Suture. Several clergymen I
interviewed," he said, "are con
vinced that Europe will have to
clean house with another war be
fore peace can come Europe "
Jan Masaryk, Czechoslovakia's
delegate to the United Nations,
expressed the jiope to Dr. Champ
lin that the Czech state could in
some future date act as peace
mediator between Russia and the
United States.
His seventh international trip,
Dr. Champlin studied displaced
persons camps and attended ses
sions of the British and French
parliaments.

Anonymous Fireman
Acts to Quench
Burning Tar
"I'm just a rookie fireman."
said a College employee after
quenching a blazing tar barrel
just outside the temporary class
room building north of White
Hall about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Refusing to identify himself
except that he was a member of
the Alpha Volunteer Fire Com
pany and that he worked in the
nearby building, the fireman
matter-of-factly related that he
saw the fire and used a fire ex
tinguisher.
Modest as he was about his
own exploits, the fireman proud
ly extolled the excellence of the
local volunteers. State College
has the ninth lowest fire insur
ance rates in Pennsylvania, he
claimed.
Because of his quick action, no
services were required of the
two fire engines which raced to
the scene. The mishap occurred
when a lighted n etch was
dropped near the tar which was
being melted for use on the side
walks being laid on Holmes
Field.
