Harrison E. Salisbury is with-
out question one of the best
i n f or in e d correspondents on
Russia. Since 1949, when he
joined the staff of the New
York Times, he has visited the
Soviet Union six times and is
the author of five non-fiction
books about the USSR as well
as a novel about Stalingrad.
Upon his return from his
sixth Russian visit, in February,
Salisbury has written his new-
est work, entitled "A New Rus-
sia?", which has just been pub-
lished by Harper & Row (49 E.
33rd, N.Y. 16) . In it he ex-
presses optimism, based on
what he believes is a situation
"no longer hidden under a veil
of terror-stricken silence"; that
Jews again have "articulate al-
lies within the Soviet intellec-
tual community who are cou-
rageously seeking to arouse
Russians to a feeling of shame
and anger at the anti-Semitic
strain on the national con-
science." He concludes by as-
serting:
"Change—sooner or later—
seemed bound to come."
Yet, throughout his report, in
a chapter on "The Rise of Anti-
Semitism," there is much of
pessimism. He points to the
declarations in protest against
anti - Semitism by the poets
Yevtushenko and Nekrasov, and
the demonstrations by youth in
their favor, in - spite of dis-
persals by police. When slan-
derous anti-Yevtushenko coup-
lets by the neo-Stalinist poet
Alexi Markov were circulated,
Moscow's intelligensia reacted
against the anti-Semitic senti-
ments. Yet:
"The indignation of the in-
tellentsia did not halt the gov-
ernment in its anti-Jewish pro-
gram. The harassment went on.
At Passover in 1962 Jews in
Moscow found it impossible to

obtain the traditional matzoth
which in the past has always

shenko's `Babi Yar' in Yiddish
translation was put off from
month to month.
"Most diplomats in Moscow
blamed the regime's insensi-
tivity to the creeping anti-Semi-
tism and the increasing anti-
Jewishness to the attitudes of
Khrushchev himself. The Soviet
leader had often discussed Jew-
ish questions with foreign dis-
putations and invariably dis-
played not a few of the anti-
Semitic prejudices common to
the borderlands of the Ukraine
where he grew up. It was no
secret that the Premier liked
to tell stories which made a

blanket grow s in a 11 e r and
smaller while
she grows big-
ger and big-

Jane is made
happy again
when threads

Sounds like
a brief outline
of a children's
book? It is,
but with a dif-
ference. It's a Miller
description of "Jane's Blanket,"
a book written by noted play-
wright Arthur Miller, one of
the titles to appear in a new
series of books for beginning
readers, "Modern Masters Write
for Children."
Some of the best-known
names in the literary world are
represented in the new series
which Crowell-Collier Press will
begin to publish in the fall,
including books by Robert
Graves, Phyllis McGinley, John
Ciardi, Shirley Jackson, Paul
Engle, Louis Untermeyer and
others. Untermeyer serves as
general editor of the series.
Many of the authors on the
list have never before written
for children, especially begin-
ning readers in the first and
second grades. Since the books
in the series are intended to
be read by the child, not to
him, the authors have been
limited to the use of words
drawn from a controlled vocab-
ulary list of less than 800 words.
The word list was compiled
by a panel of three elemen-
tary education authorities: Dr.
Helen Murphy of Boston Uni-
versity, Dr. Nila Blanton Smith
of New York University, and
Dr. Richard Karlin of Southern
Illinois University.
The first titles in the series
to be published in October and
November are "The Big Green
Book," by Robert Graves; "The
B Book," by Phyllis McGinley;
"One and One and One," by
Untermeyer; "Puppy Pie," by
Jay Williams; "What Did I
See," by William Jay Smith,
and "The Wish Tree," by John
Ciardi.
Books in preparation are
"Who's Afraid," by Paul Engle;
"Nine Magic Wishes," by Shir-
ley Jackson, and Miller's book.
The drawings of such artists
as Maurice Sendak, Al Parker,
Robert Jones and Ray Prohan-
ska will illustrate the books.
If the Indians of Manhattan
Island had taken the $24 in cash

hattan's land and buildings.
butt of some 'poor Yid.' So long
as this attitude persisted at the
top it seemed unlikely that an
objective approach to the prob-
lem could be expected in Rus-
sia."
But Salisbury is, neverthe-
less, hopeful of a change. He
states that "despite all this,
`administrative' anti-Semitism,
the arbitrary dismissal of
Jews from their posts or their
sentence to exile or execu-
tion, was not occurring. In
the Moscow and Leningrad
educational systems discrimi-
nation against Jewish stu-
dents was lighter than it had
been. The bars to Jewish ad-
vancement in diplomatic
service, the army or the
higher echelons of the party
and propaganda apparatus
continued. But the key role
played by Jewish scientists
in space and rocketry had
won grudging public recog-
nition."
Salisbury's optimism for a
better future coincides with the
reports of others who have
studied the USSR situation that
conditions are better under
Khrushchev than they were
under Stalin. But the reports,
as in Salisbury's accounts, show
the continued existence of
bigotry against Jews and an
adhesion to anti-Semitism by
officials in the USSR.
Reporting in visits to Kiev's
synagogue. Salisbury relates
about "many aspects of the
Jewish situation which officials
did not like to discuss"; that
Jews again were experiencing a
time of trouble, that it was not
as bad as in the past, that Jews
were not being subjected to
Czarist-like pogroms or to ar-
rests, "nonetheless, the symp-
toms of fear and suspicion vis-
ible at the Kiev synagogue
could be found in most Jewish
communities."
Jews remain suspects, they
are charged with spying and
spreading Israel propaganda,
they are accused of graft,
corruption and drunkenness,
a 90-year-old Jew was made
to confess to drinking and
speculation and the anti-
Zionist campaign is rampant.
Ilya Ehrenburg'-s condemna-
tion of anti-Semitism and other
rebukes to bigots are neverthe-
less pointed to as indications of
a turn for the better since there
is no longer "the veil of terror-
stricken silence" about the Jew-
ish issue.
The numerous incidents men-
tioned by Salisbury leave a
gloomy feeling with the reader,
whose feelings must be of hope
that the eminent correspond-
ent's optimism will come true.
