...scheming and Soviet thinking. In 1932, he decided to leave the University of Wisconsin and to learn something about the Soviet experiment by going prepared himself by taking a welder's course in the U.S., then worked as a welder and chemist at the Siberian industrial center of Magnitogorsk, married a Russian girl there. Then he spent several years in Moscow as a correspondent for the London News Chronicle and the French news agency Havas. In 1941 he wrote a series of articles about the growing friction between Hitler and Stalin, was summarily thrown out of the Soviet Union...
...economic growth of the U.S.S.R. Russia's resources, especially iron ore and coal, are wide apart (see above). Russia has five main industrial regions: north western European Russia (Moscow, Leningrad, Gorky); the Ukraine (Kiev, Krivoi Rog, Dneprostroi) ; the newer industrial complex just behind the Urals (Sverdlovsk, Magnitogorsk, etc.); the Kuznetsk Basin (Novosibirsk, Stalinsk, etc.); and the scattered mills, mines, army bases and slave-labor camps near the Pacific. Despite a widespread belief in the West that Russia's industrial trend is toward "safety behind the Urals," there is evidence that about 1947, Stalin & Co. hardheadedly concluded that...

...Europe's vantage point for watching the development of Soviet policy. Scott has an extensive acquaintance among Russians in Berlin. Few Americans know the U.S.S.R. as well as Scott; he worked in the Soviet Union for five years as a welder and chemist in the steel mills at Magnitogorsk, for four years as a newsman in Moscow (he was expelled for reporting too well). He married a Russian, speaks German and Russian fluently. He is the author of three books about the U.S.S.R.: Behind the Urals, Duel for Europe and Europe in Revolution...
...that international inspection and control were necessary. But Russia's Andrei Vishinsky had insisted on holding a veto against the day-to-day activities of the inspectors (TIME, Dec. 9). This seemed more political than practical. If a couple of U.N. inspectors were headed one morning for, say, Magnitogorsk, and Russia vetoed the trip, the action would indicate guilt almost as clearly as if a violation had been detected. The U.S. proposed that the Security Council be instructed to draw up treaties outlawing not only atomic weapons but guided missiles, poison gas and disease warfare. Any nation could exercise...
