WILL APPEAR IN BELLWOOD
Outlining the horrors he endured
as a missionary's son in Soviet Bus- I
sia, which he describes as a living
hell, Peter Voronaeff, 22 year old
son of a Russian minister, will be
here to describe these conditions. I
He will also show 160 Russian pie-
tures.
Young Voronaeff has   made   200
lectures in various American eitjas,   '
He will illustrate his talk with slide*
smuggled from Russia by    deer gas    I
ing their size to that of   a   postage
stamp and concealing them between
the layers of shoe leather.    He telle
of such frightful happenings as taa I
death of 700 men and women ia   a ■'
Siberian camp, frozen in    unhealed
barracks, and their bodies burned to
save the trouble of burial.
Describing the conditions in Russia,   Voronaeff scoffed at the boast- 1
ed reform ia Soviet prisons.    "They I
aay there are no iron bars in Soviet
Russia,"   he  said,   "the last time I  '
saw my mother   and   father   they I
were    behind   bars,   sentenced   te I
eight years In Siberia, without trial,
ignorant of the crime   with   whieh
they were charged.   It is impossible
to exaggerate tha suffering   of  the
millions of Christiana who are coaa-
pelled to lira under the ha^msser aad
sickle.     Tbe    conditions created by I
the    dictatorship   of the proletariat I
are intolerable."
Young Voronaeff helped to bury
hundreds of victims of fan-tin* ia

to write a book, written by hw leather, "Christians under the
