Fresh from 18 months of laying sewers for 60,000 Russians who will live in New Nizhnue-novgorod, the "Soviet Detroit" (TIME, Dec. 22), genial Sanitary Engineer Horace M. Patton returned last week to Manhattan, told a tale. "Where I was working," said Mr. Patton, "they came around to the factories once a month and asked the Soviet workmen to contribute to a fund for 'Starving Americans.' It was good propaganda, I guess. The poor fellows who contributed live themselves on black bread and tea.
