Higgins prominent reporter on the New York Herald Tribune Miss Higgins author of several books Including News Is Singular Thing and Pulitzer priz win her now has bookon Russ In Red plush and Blackaread she tells of 10 weeks travel in Russia which took her to Moscow Leningrad Siberia Soviet Central Asia the Caucasus White Russia and the Ukraine The title of the book comes from the shabby red plush curtains of most of thehe tcls and the Russian black bread which the author enjoyed very much She thinks this black bread with all its vitamins has helped to keep the Russians sturdyiot This book carries on from where Harrison Salisbury in his Ameri can in Russia leaves off Where Salisbury found Russians were afraid to speak to Americans Miss Higgins seeing Russia under the new regimefound that the people though still nervous about talking to Americans were full of curios ity and eager to chat with 1121 She found they were filled with wrong information from Pravda United States wanted war with Russia and convinced that life was very hard for the workers un der the American capitalist sys tem Sometimes the author tried Mot people righton these two poigts butjdid not appear to sue cee The writer found she was the and wonderedlwhy it had been giv en to her as at one time the Com munist press had described her as shyena of the press Miss Higgins writes of the Rus

The Manitoba Highway Safety Division has twovpart program strlct testing of new drivers be fore they are granted licenses and the reform of experienced drivers whpsc accident and conviction rc toughthose who survived What surprised Miss Higgins most in her first day was the lids sian recrctivcncss She tritd to contact western mrrcspondentsat their hotels but when she asked at the hotel desk for the number of their rooms the clerk told her that she had no idea of it From the American embassy she was able to get this information Also with it list that contained not the telephone numbers of the major embassies but also the numbers of prominent foreigners and of the airport railway stations and pros section This list was vital necessity to all Americans in Russia because the city of Moscow ad no generally available hono 54 The author tells of com ing over to her and praising her shoes black opcntoed suede shoes with medium heels when she told him they had been bought in New York for nine dollars and that her dress had cost $1805 he was stunned as in Rusisa one pays be tween4$70 and $140 for decent pair oh shoes and $100 for pass alile dress Miss Higgins statesthat it would be easy fora stranger to be fooléd by the atmosphere in Moscow The police state is there all right The Russians are not gay people but they do not have the sullen resentful look of the oppressed Human beings can adjust even to prison especially if within that prison they have their families their friends and their work After all those who would actively re sist the Communists are already in Jails slave labor camps or are dead And the state maintains an enormous police force so that none will have the desire or will to re sist the government The people seem determined to make the best of their lot in life and very unin ierested in pnlitics or changes in government After all the Rus sian people have known very little of freedom As one Russian did dare to say to the writer of this report In the Czarist rule we were bound by chains of gold to day we are bound by chains of steel been eased There are more com forts more things tobuy They are still far from the American flay ifc Bu their own standards an better off than years before The writer says Russias pres ent leadership is changing the Communist road this much they are widening and smoothing the highwayto Communism so that their prospective traffic can get to its Communist destination all the more quickly It is up to the west ern world to keep its sense of dirt ection post the gright highway markings and see to it that the travellers are clearly warned they areheading for dead end This is anabsorbing book The author is able to tell so much in simple direct style One realizes why sheth the Pulitzer prize in the dreadful
