The editors' tour included show places such as the new 38-story University of Moscow, the Mos !cow collective farm, and the sub way. Miss Gross described the Moscow subway as an architec tural propaganda structure decor ated with works of art used to sell patriotism much the same way as subway advertising is used to sell soap in this country. She said some of the Russians believe their subway is the only one in the world. The editors attended a Russian Orthodox church serv i c e and found that, as they expected, the majority of worshippers were in the old age group, but that about 60 per cent of the members of the two choirs were. under 30. Their Russian guides explained away the large crowds at the church as curiosity seekers, but the editor noticed that the "curi osity seekers" were taking part in the service. Of 1300 Orthodox churches in Moscow, the editors were told only 30 remained.. Many of them had been. converted into movie theaters, museums, and residences.

Oatis, the Associated Riess corre spondent from Indiana who was imprisoned in Prague two years ago on charges of spying.

Bradley Predicts Indefinite Spending WASHINGTON, May 15 (2P)— Gen. Omar N. Bradley, warning that Russia's atomic strength is growing rapidly, estimated today that the United States must spend at least $3 billion dollars a month on defense "as far into the future as we can possibly see." Bradley, who is retiring this summer as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a move by Pres ident Eisenhower to install a new team in the top military com mand, cautioned against putting "economy ahead of security." But the general emphasized in -a speech to the Women's National Press Club, that 'he was not' re ferring to the Eisenhower admin istration's current budget-cutting moves. "What I want to discuss," he said, "is the long range cost of keeping the peace so long as mil itary power is needed to keep it." 1 At present, he said, the nation is spending about $4 billion a month in rebuilding its armed! strength. Booth Closed On Own Initiative, Groups Claim Players and Radio Guild de cided Wednesday night to close their booth at the spring carnival before the administration moved to close it Thursday morning, a member of the radio guild said yesterday. No booths were closed Thurs day night, contrary to rumor, Joan Lee, Spring Week committee chairman, said yesterday. Dean of Men Frank X. Simes said the closed booth was permitted to continue operation Wednesday night after six stu dents were caught with alcoholic beverages in their posession at the booth. He said action on clos ing the booth was taken after he conferred with Director of Student Affairs Wilmer E. Kenworthy Thursday morning. It is believed by Miss Lee and Simes that this is the first time a booth has been closed in the five year history of the Spring Week carnival. The names of six students, in cluding two women, have been sent to. the Dean of Men, Dean of Women, and Dean of the Grad uate School for discipline. The group violated a College rule that forbids the possession of alco holic beverages on the campus, Simes said. The Players-Radio Guild show Was poor and members of the booth's cast lost interest after Simes had discovered the stu dents with the alcohol, the guild member said. The group didn't have enough talent to start with, the member added. Miss Lee said Simes warned her of his discovery, and she and Joseph Haines, chairman of the booth committee, proceeded to warn all the booths to get rid of any alcoholic beverages they might possess. She said there was no drinking Thursday night. Simes said yesterday that the Players-Radio Guild claim about closing their booth was only ra-r tionalization on' their part.

Karhan, associate professor of music, will present its annual spring concert 3 p.m. tomorrow in Schwab Auditorium.

SeniOr Lion Coat Sale Discontinued Because pushing the sale of Lion coats to seniors is like "beating a dead horse," George Donovan, director of student activities, claims that the coats will not be sold this year: Sales of the traditional mus lin jackets which could be dec orated by graduating seniors have been dropping for the last few years. Last year only 54 coats were sold. With such indifference, the sale of Lion coats can hardly be called "Penn State tradition," Dono van said. FIVE CENTS
