MRS OKSANA KASENKINA'S OWN STORY
INSTALMENT 16
NLY two days remained until the scheduled salling of the Pobeda which was to tako me back to Russia. I was like à person being swept by a tide out into the open sea. Although I was at the very shore, I could find no anchorage.
"The evening of Wednesday, July 28, I tele- phoned the Russian language nowspaper, the Novoye Russkoyo Slovo, and asked for the editor. Perhaps I was influenced in this by the act of Igor Gouzenko, my compatriot in Canada, when ho went to the Ottawa newspaper in his critical hour, ns 1 had learned from seeing "The Iron Curtain."
Without identifying myself and disclosing the object of my call, I inquired if the editor, Mr Mark Weinbaum, was in the office. I was told that he had left, but would be at his desk the next day. Although I know the paper was anti- Communist and stood for demo- cracy and freedom, I asked if there were any Communists around the place.

Thursday morning I cautiously made my way to the offices of Mr Weinbaum, who received me instant- ly.
He understood my situation as soon as I nervously reelted to him a few salient facts. He was the first man I had met in the United States to inspire me with con- Adence. He suggested that Vladimir freelanco Russian Zenzínov, journalist, would be in a position to give time to my rescue. I had never heard of Zenzinov, although He had a high reputation as Uonist in Czarist days. Mc
