Russian Humor Offers Advice In Case of War
MOSCOW—(UPI) —"In case of atom attack," says one Russian to another, "Cover yourself with a white sheet and crawl slowly to the cemetery."
"Why slowly?" asked the friend. "So as not to cause panic," answers the other.
THE JOKE reflects the somber attitude which many Russians are taking towards thermonuclear war. And in recent weeks they have received strong warnings from Premier Nikita Khruschev and the Soviet press as to what it may be like.
For a long time, the press avoided the subject. There were no pamphlets describing what to do. There was no fall-out shelter program as in the United States. Khrushchev put it simply July 20 when he said "Won't the living envy the dead?"
HE WAS referring to the wholesale pollution of the atmosphere which a thermonuclear war might cause.
cause. The Sino-Soviet rift has deepened. Descriptions of the horrors have become more frequent. They are particularly occasioned by the Chinese advocacy of violent means to overcome capitalism and imperialism.
"BY THE calculations of experts, about one billion persons would be killed as a result of the very first blow, and the great cities of Europe, Asia and North America could be destroyed," he said.
Speaking at a friendship meeting for visiting Hungarian leader Janos Kadar, July 20, Khrushchev ridiculed the idea that a bright new society could be built "on the corpses of millions and millions of dead."
"The effects of a thermonuclear war would show on life's progeny, bringing death and disease, and carrying with it a disformed growth of humanity."
KHRUSHCHEV played on a similar theme in his written message to an international women's conference here in June.
"The peoples realize more and more clearly that a new world war, should it break out, wil be different from past wars.
"It will mean the loss of hundreds of millions of people, the destruction of the fruits of creative efforts of dozens of generations" it will inevitably reduce to ashes very much of what is generally referred to as civilization."

TOPEKA — (UPI) — Letters were mailed last week to proprietors of Kansas hotels, motels, cabin camps and restaurants advising them of the new Kansas Act Against Discrimination amendments which went into effect July 1.
Civil Rights Order
The Kansas Commission on Civil Rights advised the public accommodations owners and restaurants that it will enforce the law under same procedures as have been used in administering the Fair Employment Act.
ENCLOSED with the letters were copies of the act itself and the "notice to the public" required in the act.
"It is the declared policy of this establishment to serve all orderly persons without discrimination because of race, religion, color, national origin or ancestry. Our employees have been instructed to comply with this law."
The notice, which must be posted in a conspicuous place, reads:
THE COVER letter read, "It is the commission's hope that proprietors of hotels, motels, cabin camps and restaurants will comply voluntarily with this new civil rights statute in serving all orderly persons without regard to race . . . so the State of Kansas may continue its leadership in the field of civil rights progress."
