LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SPEAKS-Lt. Gov. John Crutcher spoke to the City Clerks last night about a change in attitude in the communist satellite countries. He spoke of it as "the beginning of the end" of communism as we know it.
Student Labor Knocks On Dormitory Doors
A door-to-door campaign to organize students into a Student Labor Organization union has begun in several of KU's residence halls, Carl Gangs, Prairie Village junior and organizer of the labor movement, said today.
There is a possibility that rules in at least one KU residence hall may interfere with the Student Labor Organization drive for membership.
Mrs. Joseph Mosier, resident director of McCollum Hall, said today the hall has a policy against door-to-door solicitation. She said no decision has been made on how this policy will affect the planned residence hall campaign of the Student Labor organization. Joseph Mosier, resident director of McCollum, who will make the decision on the effects of the policy, could not be reached.
"The exact number of members that have joined the movement is not known." Bangs said, because all of his representatives have not reported in. But he added, "We are pretty sure of success because of the number that have signed up since we began the campaign."
LT. GOV. SPEAKS
Reds Revolve System
By John Harrington "Creeping Capitalism" in the Eastern European satellite countries was discussed by Lt. Gov. John Crutcher in the Kansas Union last night.
Crutcher, a 1940 KU graduate, has traveled over most of the world, and more than 35,000 miles in Communist countries in seven trips.
CRUTCHER SPOKE about a vast change in the attitudes of the sat'e'lite countries in the last
The Communist leaders of the satellite countries, Crutcher said, have not been able to provide their people with the great abundance that was promised when the Communists system was initiated. He said that the people have seen the prosperity and growth of the Western European nations and of the United States, and have begun to wonder what is wrong.

15 years. Today it is commonplace to hear communism and all its aspects openly criticized without fear of secret police or other coercion, he said.
Through the countries, manufacturing areas are switching to profit-motivated activities, including the equivalent of Western "fringe benefits" for employees. The results have been enormous profits and sales for the manufacturers. Crutcher said.
"Even in Russia," he continued, "the Party Congress has decided to initiate the decentralization of many industries and the relaxation of political controls over them.
"WHEN RUSSIA began to turn its concern to the East and China, it was forced to relax many of the controls on the satellites. Romania for example has emerged from these controls most successfully of all.
"Romania fired the chief of the secret police and all other officials acting as double agents for the U.S.S.R. She relaxed controls on the U.S. Embassy, and even agreed to abide by international patent agreements. In 1961, the government police abruptly halted a rock-throwing demonstration at the U.S. Embassy inspired by a group of Cuban students."
YUGOSLAVIA, a fierce police state that shunned Americans 15 years ago, now sells the New York Times or Life Magazine on the corner newsstands. In the factories in and near Belgrade, democratic secret ballots are used to elect the boards or chairmen, he said.
"Furthemore," he added, "almost anyone can get out of his country if he wants to. Last year, for example, over 140,000 Hungarians received visas for travel in Western Europe. Also, more than 40 per cent of the satellite country trade is now with Western European and Western countries.
"This is not revolution, but rapid evolutionary change. I was told throughout the countries that there was no turning back in this current trend."
