By EUGENE WYATT | NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)--| The most popular word in the) Soviet Union today is "boodet." it means simply: "It will be."| The future -- whether it is 10, 15 or 40 years off--is worshipped with all the fervor that the Communist religion can gener- ate.

But, if there is any extensive construction of underground air raid and fallout shelters, I did not see it. FOOD PLENTIFUL The people are adequately if not stylishly dressed. Not only does there appear to be enough food but in many.cases far too much. A trim figure is a rarity even for a young woman. There is little of the som- pects in a totalitarian state.) Good - natured byplay fre- quently erupts in public, even during the frustrating and time- consuming business of shop- ping in an economy which is anything but a buyer's market.

The Rev. M. generally produced the desired effect. It is strange to sit in a movie house and hear the wrong side (us) jeered. In almost every conversation, there is a question about unemployment in the United States. But there are those who sus- pect all propaganda, One man so complete'y discredited the of- ficial position on America that he toli me he did not believe that segregation of Negroes ever occurs in the United States. Sometimes, after becoming acquianted, a few Russians will relax enough to reveal consid-| erable impatience with some features of the Soviet system.

PROGRESS UNEVEN This does not mean that pres- ent-day Soviet accomplishments can be dismissed. A look at daily headlines dispels any such notion. What astonishes the vis- itor from the West is the in- credible unevenness of these accomplishments. Russian jet and turbo prop planes are obviously superb air- craft by any standards. But) these magnificent machines are sometimes cleaned out by little old ladies using medieval twig brooms. Soviet engineers apparently have a good grasp of outer space and the interior of the atom, but elementary problems of housing construction have} them baffled. Stories of almost) new buildings falling apart are not exaggerated. Whatever the quality, there ean be no doubt that Russia is again. This does not mean, of course, that promsies for the future plus the Spartan present satisfy all Soviet citizens. Particularly in the areas of housing and con- sumer goods, there is a hunger which is sometimes pitifully ob- vious. In Kiev, I saw a queue of per- haps a hundred people in front of a little shop. Some did not even know what they were wait- ing to buy--they knew only that such a line means that some- thing scarce is available.
