Six College Editors Report
All Is Not Drab In Russia
By CHARLES LANE
PARIS ISI Six American col
lege editors homeward bound from
a 23-day tour of Russia said Wed
nesday any conception of the Rus
sians as a drab people with no
sense of bumor was wrong.
David Barney, 27, of Eugene,
Ore., editor of the school paper at
Reed College, Portland, said the
group often joked with their guides
about capitalism and communism.
"One day when a guide showed
up late," Barney said, "he cracked
'my cave was drafty last ntEht so
I overslept this morning.' Actually
the guide had very good livin;
quarters. He was kidding us about
some conceptions of the standard
of living under communism."
All six of the editors and they

spoke1 In this case for a seventh,
man who was to arrive later said
the Russian people were friendly
during their 5,000-mile tour. But
they said there are plenty of anti
U. S. government propaganda post
ers throughout the country.
Ward was delayed in Krankfurt,
Germany, and was .due to join his
fellow editors here later today.
The group was scheduled to
spend the day sightseeing in Paris
before flying back to New York
Wednesday night.
When the editors got off the
train Lovitt's first words were:
"Where can we get some real
breakfast. We didn't see any bacon
and eggs in Russia. Seems like we
haven't had any fruit juice for a
month."
Asked what they thought of the
Russian girls, Ives said they looked
poorly dressed to him and pretty
drab with no make up. Barney,
who speaks Russian, said "they
look very busty, and rose cheeked.
Maybe tifir heavy wool socks and
winter clothing take some of their
glamor away. Some of them wore
very attractive. The prettiest girls
were at Kharkov University."
The editors said the Russian stu
dents get together informally for
their "dates" in the cultural houses
of the universities. Moscow Univer.
sity has two dance halls. The stu
dents dance to everything from
Soviet folk music to the "St. Louis
Blues," the editors said.
Except for certain restricted mil
itary areas such as Sevastopol, the
edilors said they were permitted
to travel freely, singly or in a
group, wilh only an interpreter il
they wished. Usuallv they asked
for, and had, a guide from the
Russian Tourist Service.

He Was Denied
Medical Care
MEDFORD W Gerald T.
XIacpmber, 30, seeking freedom
from state prison w'here he is un
der life sentence, testified before
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg here this week that he was de
nied medical attention for a lone
time while jailed here in 1950.
tie nas tiled tor a writ of habeas
corpus, alleging his rights were
flouted and it was in support of
this that he testified:
He was wounded in an exchanue
of shots with a state patrolman
here the night of July 13-14, 1950,
and was jailed. After the first dav
or so, the bandage was not chang
ed. He asked for doctor but none
