...Propagandist. Crisp, competent Yvette, now a stout matron of 36, gave a fine display of peasant shrewdness. She wrote a personal appeal to President Eisenhower,, got daughter Dorothy to write to a French radio program, Vous Etes Formidables ("You Are Terrific"), asking that her father's predicament be broadcast. More than 100,000 letters poured into the U.S. embassy in Paris begging that Wayne be pardoned...
Heroes of Shipka is quite a delightful venture into Soviet cowboys and Indians. The film depicts in ardent propagandist terms the Russian victory over the Ottomans in 1876 when the Russians, out of sheer humanity, came to the aid of their "oppressed" Bulgarian brothers. The whole show is fraught with an enthusiasm and naivete that Hollywood no longer offers...

Last week Tamayo, 57, soon to depart for Puerto Rico and projects that may keep him away from Mexico for two years, decided to make peace...
When a questioner at the Moscow World Youth Festival inquired about the "degenerate American comic-strip and rock-'n'-roll culture," top-ranking Red novelist and Propagandist llya Ehrenburg spoke mildly, once again showed himself to be an indicator of the changeable Soviet climate: "Whoever asked that question doesn't understand American culture, which has nothing to do with rock 'n' roll or comic strips. American culture is represented by Whitman, Dreiser, Hemingway^ and other men of genius." Continued the many-faced Ehrenburg, who toured the U.S. in 1946, roasted it for its slums...
