The November 1 i ssue of T h e W ashington Post published the let ter of the UCCA president, criticiz ing the paper’s vic i ous October 18 editorial “The Shevchenko Affair.” As was expected, certain portions of the letter were deleted. Other critical letters also were published; and to the credit of their writers, they brought out many convincing points. No one should miss this op portunity to expose the malicious character of The Post’s attacks. The issue is greater than just the statue. As the UCCA president pointed out, “The statue is obviously not for those who would appease Mos cow by burying or distorting truths which are essential to our national interest.” 2. In further developments on the Shevchenko project, the UCCA president sent another let ter, dated November 4, rebutting the scandalous Washington Post editor i al “Monument to Ignor ance.” The letter, which at this stage may not be published, stress es, “Your November 1 editorial is genuinely a “Monument to Ignor ance.” One solid result of this con tinuing action has been the excel lent article on “The Status of a Statue,” written by Robert J. Lew is in his column Cities and People. It appeared in the November 10 is sue of The Sunday Star. Mr. Lewis who deserves all our praise, quotes President Kennedy on Shevchen ko: “His work is a noble part of cur historical heritage.” sp ecialists.
