PROTESTS ABOUT SPACE DOG
“Pravda” Replies To
Criticism
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright! (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 19. The Soviet newspaper, “Pravda,” today launched a counter-attack against “a special and somewhat strange category of people—the gentlemen who oppose the earth satellite out of love for dogs.” The Communist Party organ, quoted by Moscow Radio, said in part: ‘‘These ladies and gentlemen are willing to shed copious tears over unfortunate pussy cats and doggies, but for some reason forget about humanism.
“We did not hear their protests when Aiperican atom bombs turned Hiroshima and Nagasaki into a cemetery. “They did not demand that the executioners of Port Said be outlawed. They do not notice the barbaric crimes of the colonisers in Kenya, they do not hear the groans of the wounded and children in Oman and Yemen.”
