"Come Up And See Me" DUMBBELLS Technique Employed By Moscow Girl Spies
The telephone rang persistently in the room of an American newspaper correspondent at the ornate Moskva Hotel in Moscow the day after he arrived for the Council of Foreign Ministers' meeting. When he lifted up the receiver, the voice of a Russian girl, speaking in broken but pleading English came on the wire.

In this connection. the Mainichi asked for a "buyers' boycott" to be enforced simultaneously with price cutting. The paper said that while the price-cut movement was admir- able, it would mean little if people were too eager to buy on slight price reductions. It also urged that pro- ducers be made to participate, and called for positive government action.
