The Cologne Court of Appeals upheld last week the decision of the lower court which recently jail-sentenced a Cologne smart aleck who replied to a greeting of "Heil Hitler!" by saying "Heil London!"

Mr. Millis does not repress his admiration for the Russian's religious devotion to "their cause". This is the great element of strength in the Russian system--the patriotic faith and believing optimism of the whole nation. But his bourgeois heritage and his inborn conservatism clearly rebel against the artificiality of the entire Soviet state. Synthetic Moscow with its half-built hotels and unfinished factories does not digest well in the orderly capitalistic stomach...
