ETHNIC ORIGIN OF NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV The New York Journal Am eri can published an interesting ar ticle about the inflated ego of th e United States. The columnist George Sokolsky discussed the question w ith a lady from Louisi ana, who denies racial superior ity, referring to the success of the Soviet people, and their achievements. In answering her, Mr. Sokol sky stated th a t Stalin was a Georgian, and Khrushchev an Ukrainian.

Her letter was printed in the issue of Jan. 10, 1962, as follows: “We m ust believe th e Soviet dictator himself, who always, and on every occasion under scores his Russian origin. His an cestors m ay have been in Uk raine, but not N ikita. Of his ori gin he has saicf: ‘The village where I was born lies on the frontier between the Ukraine and Russia. It is a Russian vil lage, but m ost of its people worked in mines and in towns in the south of Ukraine. I m y self am Russian.’ ” UKRAINIAN WOMEN SCHOLARS On the occasion of the 40th an niversary of the U krainian Aca demy of A rts in Kiev, Prof. Na talie Vasylenko-Polonsky pub lished a survey of U krainian wo men scholars, dividing them into th e fields they worked in.
