Russian Youth Seen Turning Toward Democracy, Says Professor
Washington professor Dr. A Buel Trowbridge told the Charleston Lions Club that the new generation of Russians born since the war shows less hostility and seeks freedom to think travel and speak. He cited poet Tshenko as a spokesman for renewed desire for freedom among youth. He warned Latin America edging toward communism could force the U N into being a perpetual armed camp and urged strong U N backing as the best path to peace.
