, monstrated and discussed Thurs
i day night, Jan. 19, at the River
side grange for forty persons.
' Miss Jessalee Mallaleu, recreation
specialist, Oregon State college
extension service, conducted the
meeting. . '
Active-type party games, such
as circle games and relays, were
piayea oy tne entire group, a
discussion period followed in
; which principals of leading games
were pointed out.
! Only three qualifications are
necessary for anyone to be a
recreation leader, miss maiiaiieu
stated. These are, to like the
activity vou are presenting, to
like people and to be willing to
work. Never, never embarrass
anyone, Miss Mallalieu said. Flay
eamea where everyone acts silly,
but never point out any one per
son in a situation in wnicn me
groups laughs at him.
Other pointers for successful
game leadership are to know the
game thoroughly, get the group
Into position for the game before
giving Instructions, give only a
few rules at a time, demonstrate
the game before starting to play.
Avoid games which are competi
tive individually, such as paper
and pencil quiz games. Play
games which Include the entire
group. The best recreation Is for
relaxation and fun and not for
a prize. If prizes are given, they
should be something which could
be shared by the group or some
thing funny and Inexpensive. It
is best if prizes are won by a
: team ana not oy an ino.ivio.uBi,

Officials Expect Bulgaria
To Stand Against U. S.
(Continued from page One)
Heath's recall; (2) Demonstrat
ed "Its willingness to observe es
tablished international standards
of conduct" in the treatment of
American diplomats.
The note held that restrictions
on the movements of U.S. offi
cials in Sofia and "indignities"
which they have suffered have
made It "virtually Impossible for
the legation to perform its nor
mal diplomatic and consular
functions."
Has Become Useless
This made it clear that one of
the reasons behind the decision
to break relations unless the Bul
garians change their conduct is
a feeling here that it has become
useless to maintain American
representatives in Sofia under'
present conditions.
Restrictions on American offi
cials in Bulgaria are matched in
some degree in other eastern
European countries. The policy
of breaking relations, therefore,
could lead to a general withdraw-'
al of American representatives
from several ot those countries
if conditions in them got very
much worse.
The United States already has
officially notified Hungary that
U.S. diplomats were not permit
ted to carry out their duties fal

"In the sky shone a brilliant,

Vishinsky Scores
Acheson Speech
As 'Slanderous'
By EDDY GILMORE
MOSCOW. Jan. 21 For
eign Minister Andrei Y. Vishin
sky said today U.S. Secretary of
State Dean Acheson's charge that
Russia is annexing four North
China provinces is a "lying- and
slanderous declaration."
Vishinsky made his statement
in an unusual press release to
foreign correspondents, coinciding
with the arrival in Moscow of
Chou En-lai, foreign minister oi
the Russian-recognized Chinest
people's republic.
Chou's arrival led to the belief
that negotiations for a treaty of
friendship between Russia and
the new Chinese repuouc oi uom
munist leader Mao Tze-tung were
nearing an important climax.
Mao has been in Moscow for a
month. '
Vishinsky. commenting on
statements by Acheson at the Na
tional Press duo in wasnington
Jan. 12 that Russia is taking over
Manchuria, Inner and Outer
Mongolia and Sinkiang, said they
were intended "to put a good
face on a bad game the failure
of American policy in Asia."
Vishinsky also accused Ache
son of uncovering his own "an
nexionist plans in relation to Ja
nan and also the Philippines and
Ryukyti (islands of the North Pa
cific).
Acheson. he said, declared
"these non-American territories
in the-defensive line of the Unit
ed States which, as is well
known, is In the line of aggres
sion."

Leader Of Civil Defense
In Case Of War Named
(Continued from page One)
served as director of the Uni
versity of California. Later he
served as director of the Univer.
sity's Sandla laboratory at Albu
querque, N. M.
Became Consultant
When that operation was tak
en over by the Western Electrie
Co. last November Larsen be
came consultant of ' Western
Electric subsidiary working In
Atomic research. . '
The decision to recruit thou-'
sands of aircraft observers for
civil defense was announced yea-'
terday following a two-day con
ference of defense officials and
state representatives called by
Secretary of Defense Johnson.
Th Defense department said
the "aircraft observers corps"
will be trained in 25 northwest-'
era and Atlantic states by the
Air Defense command of the Air
Force, then placed on a standby
basis. , :
In case of war, the announce
ment added, these air raid war
dens will keep "a 24 hour per
day watch from observation
posts to. give warning of impend
ing enemy attack by air and will
supplement radar warning sys
tems." To Affect Communities
The Defense department said
the program is being "channeled
through the governments ot the
States and through them to the
local communities" because the
whole Idea of civil defense is to
place responsibility on local
government.
The conference also discussed
setting up observation posts, fil
ter centers and control centers.
There is no federal law now to
provide for a civil defense setup,
althought the matter has been
under study for more than two
years.
The recent announcement that
Russia had set off an atomic ex
plosion started new demands in
Congress for action along those
lines. Britain, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Luxembourg,
France and some of the Scan
danavian countries already have
reactivated civil defense pro
