The most famous painter alive
and probably the richest painter
(of pictures, that is) in the history
of the world has just pasted
his 80th birthday.
He is Pablo Diego Jose Fancisco
de Paula Juan Nepomucene Cris
pin Crispiniano de la Santissima
Trinidad Kuiz Blanco. He was born
in Malaga, Spain, but has spent
most of his wot king life in France.
He calls himself Pablo Picasso
for short.
How rich is Pablo?
No one knows how much he has
salted away, but art critic and
connoisseur Alfred Frankfurter es
timates that all the Picassos in
existence today are worth about
100 million dollars. Only recent
ly the state museum at Stuttgart,
Germany, paid J250.000 for a Pi
casso entitled "Los Ilaladins" (The
Clowns) the highest price ever
paid for the work of a living paint
er. "Les Baladins" was painted
during his famous "Blue Period"
in which he portrayed sad and mor
bid clowns and circus dancers in
gloomy blue colors. His "Blue Pe
riod" was followed by his "Pink
Period." One of his Pink Period
canvass?! (a nude) was auctioned
recently and broucht $60,000.
Compared to Pablo, Michance
lo, the most celebrated artist of the
Italian (tennaissance was probably
the greatest figure in the history
of art, was a pauper.
How ''id Picasso get that way?
It's a long story. Painting got
its start back m the Ice Age, some
30,000 years ago, when Paleolithic
man lived in caves and started
painting on his cave walls pic
tures of the animals he saw around
him and hunted. These pictures arc
still to be seen on the walls of the
Cro-Magnon caves in France. They
LOOK LIKE SOMETHING. They
look just like the animals Cro
Magnon man saw.
Paintings continued to look like
something until Paul Cezanne came
long, in the late 1800's. Cezanne
didn't hve much luck painting pic
tures that looked like something.
So he got an idea. He said to him
self one day: "Everything in na
ture is a cylinder or a cube." He
then started painting pictures that
looked like eylindcrs or cubes. Pi
casso saw some oi his stuff and
went him one better, adding to
Cezanne's cylinders and cubes;
squares, triangles and otner ge
ometric forms. That was the start
of Cubism in art.
This Cubism business intrigued
him, so Picasso painted a picture
that he called "The Three Musi
cians." It is now in the Phila
delphia Museum of Art. This if

COURSES OF STUDY
By Charles V. Stanton
Two extremely interesting pieces of mail came to my
desk recently.
One was an outline of what is being done in our
schools to teach our voting people more about our form
of government. The effort is to give instruction about our
government and respect for our institutions and our Flag.
Incidentally, the point was raised that some adults
aren't furnishing a very good example when they fail to
uncover, or give proper attention, during the playing of
our National Anthem at athletic events at our nchools.
Another letter reported that Gov. Hatfield is buying
some 500 copies of J. Kdgar Hoover's book, "Masters of
Deceit," a book explaining communism, for distribution
to the Oregon National Guard and to the Mate police.
These two courses of study certainly are needed.
First, it is important that we know about our own gov
ernment, that we glory in its history, realize the prin
ciples for which our government stands, and honor our
Flag.
We can't very well oppose communism with democ
racy when we don't know what democracy means. And,
if we are to oppose communism, we should know why.
One of our major faults, it seems to me, is that we're
doing a lot of uninformed talking about communism yet
showing even less understanding of our own political
forms, our history, our Constitution. F.vcn more pitiful,
at least to my way thinking, is the fact that so many of
our people, positively charged by our Constitution -with
responsibility for good government, permit themselves to
be influenced more by emotion than by reason.
How To Influence People
Communism is practical. We Americans are idealists.
One of the best sellers In the literary field in this
country is the book "How to Win Friends and Influence
People. As a nation we have spent billions of dollars
inthe form of foreign aid, apparently in an effort to win
friends. And we've seen some of those billions being
drained "down a rat hole."
But communism, instead of spending large sums of
money to engender friendships, explodes a frightening
bomb. It builds walls around captured people and shoots
those who try to escape. Then it blats about tyranny and
imperialism and rationalizes its terroristic actions under
the title of "defense."
While we seek to "gain friends" through friendlv acts.
the communists seek to "influence people" through ter
ror, ihey use semantics the science of words to turn
people against us. 'They prate of tyranny and imperial
ism. Yet is communism any less tyrannical, cruel, op
pressive than the so-called colonial eovernments about
which they rave?
Education Essential
It is necessary first. I believe, that we learn all we
can about our own country. Our schools are to be com-
mencieu lor increasing the emphasis on civil government,
history, and for using every possible method to instill pa
triotism in our youth.
At the same time it is a fine move on the part of our
governor to Beek to inform those charged with the en-
lorcement oi our laws, and the nrotoction of nnr coun
try, of the nature of the ideology which opposes the de
mocracy to wnicn we are pledged.
But it is not enough that we simDlv oonose comma
nism. Instead of being AGAINST something, we should
be FOR something. We should have at hand th rpnanna
why we are FOR something. We should be able to make
a positive argument, rather than take a neo-ative nnnitinn
mere certainly is nttie negative argument coming
from the communist side. Nuclear bombs, tanks, machine
guns, grenades, firing squad, rockets do not speak with a
negative voice. Fear is of greater immediate influence
than is political argument. Bullets speak a more eloquent
language than do dollar bills.
It is indeed well. I believe that our Knfinnnt r.nonl
and our state police be given every aid to an understand
ing of the menace which faces us and the importance of
the laws they enforce. At the same time, the teaching
oi Americanism to our young people will, we anticipate,
do much to protect tha future of this great Nation of ours.

to fix it up themselves. Instead of
working on it during the daytime. 1
they work on it all mtht. At j

has to get his sleep at nisht. Last
week we took our bedding out to
the garage and slept in our car.

DEAR ABBY: You printed a let
ter from "Needs Advice," who
wrote that her 4-year-old son had
become terribly attached to a cud
dly doll, and refused to go to sleep
without it. Maybe she could adopt
our solution to the problem.
Last winter our nearly 5 year-old
daughter showed no signs of ever
parting with her tattered old doll
blanket. Alter we finished our
Christmas shopping, she saw a
large toy stagecoach she wanted
very much. 1 suggested that per
haps Santa would be willing to
trade the stagecoach for her blan
ket, as he could use it to keep
Rudolph warm. She thought it over
for several days, wanting both. Be
fore she went to bed Christmas
eve, she put her little blanket un
der the tree. The next morning
she was delighted with her stage
coach. She apparently has never
missed her blanket because she
never mentioned it again.

WASHINGTON (AP) At this
moment the West can't tell
whether it gained or lost by what
happened at the Russian Commu
nist party's 22nd congress in Moscow.
But Khrushchev, now that the
congress is over, can devote him
self more wholeheartedly to re
storing mankind to its usual
jumpy condition.
The world was relatively quiet
these past two weeks except fur
Russia s 50-megaton explosion, ri
ots in Paris, a nerve-war in Ber
lin, trouble in the Congo while
Khrushchev busied himself at
home with the congress.
Now he's free again to concen
trate on causing Allied dissension,
jittering the world over uie pos
sibility of nuclear war, giving
propaganda interviews and dis
closing how to cook an enemy
with a missile.
To nobody's surprise, least of
all his, the congress was a great
success for him.
He got himself re-elected party
head, rid himself of a few people
be no longer wanted in high
places, won hearty approval for
his 20-year economic plan, led a
demolition squad that blew up the
remnants of Stalin worship and
attacked the absent Albanian
Communists.
Unexpectedly or maybe it was
not unexpected at all Premier
Chou Fn-lai of Red China, which
supports Albania and considers it
self very Stalinist, walked out.
Khrushchev, of course, got full
support from the Russian con
gress delegates, as he knew he
would, for his denunciation of Al
bania. He may have done this de
liberately. It served to show the Red Chi
nese, who have become a pain in
the neck to him because of their
disagreement with bis policies
and in time may become Russia's
greatest rival and enemy, that
whatever he did, he did with fuil
Russian support.
Still, those two weeks of
Khrushchev's preoccupation with
the congress gave the Western al
lies a little more time to try to
reconcile their differences about
making concessions to Khrush
chev on Berlin, or not making
them.
So far as is known they recon
ciled nothing. And they are not
likely to have so much quietude
again for a long time since now
Khrushchev again can give them
his full attention and throw some
more logs on their fire.
In reality and only time will
show it the West, like Khrush
chev, may have gained a lot from
the congress. Possibly it gained
nothing, lost much. For the time
being it can't tell which.
This much is clear:
Khrushchev emerged from the
congress stronger than ever. He
got full endorsement for his pol
icies. His Albanian critics were
denounced. His own critics at
home among the old Bolsheviks
were shoved aside.
This symbolized by the party's
full break with Stalinism leaves
him freer than he has ever been
to pursue what policies he thinks
right, even when they appear the
opposite of what the onetime in
fallible Stalin might have done, i
One of those opposite policies
Is his effort to represent himself
as much more reasonable than
the hard-nosed Stalin, as a man
who believes in "peaceful coex-
istence." j
His very "reasonableness" is
supposed to be the root of the
trouble between him and the old
Bolsheviks, the Red Chinese and
the Albanians. 1
But what the West can't be sure
of is whether the reasonableness
is real or a grand device to soften
it into concessions. ;
It is this very uncertainty that
makes it tougher to deal with
Khrushchev than with Stalin, lie i
wants concessions that from his
viewpoint, are not unreasonable at
all. j
Yet the West knows clearly that,
if it makes concessions too far-
reaching. communism under
Khrushchev may gain far more
i without fighting than Stalin could
have achieved with outright war. ,
Perhaps the best hope the West
can nurse is that the party con
gress created a split with Red
China, which can't be healed and
which, for the sake of future self-j
protection, will shove Russia to-'
ward the Western camp.

Citizens Should Prepare
For Nuclear Eventuality
To The Editor:
A few days ago I wrote to the
News Review, giving my reasons
for helicvcing there would never
he an all out nuclear attack on
America. I have not changed my
thinking hut a local incident could
happen and for that we should be
prepared. We hear a great deal
of late of the urgent need for fall
out shelters but it would take a
long time and a lot of money to
build enough shelters for every
family in even a small town like
Rosetuirg.
If the emergency came tonight,
how many of our jvople would
know what to do to secure even a
minimum of safety? How many
people know how long bottled water
will keep safe for drinking, or
what can be done t give the
maximum protection in a home
basement, or the average apart
ment? If covering a window will
give adequate protection from fall
out, will it take one blanket, or six
or must there he a substantial
thickness of wikhI or some other
dense nuterial to provide security.
What arc the best materials and
how much?
How about ventilation? Is there
anything that ran be done to filter
out the lethal radiation before
fresh air enters the house? We
are advised to lay in a supply of
food sufficient to last at least two
weeks, how many of our people
know the basic requirements per
person to maintain health, strength,
I and weight for this period?
Since medical services will be
curtailed or eliminated, are they
aware of the need to keep a two
weeks supply of insulin or heart
stimulants, etc., and other medical
needs on hand?
Most of this information has been
given to us. but an apparent apathy
has us in us grip. In the unhkelv
i event that a nuclear bomb shouki
fall in or near Roscburg. none of
this matters, but we can survive
fall out, at least for a time, but it
will be too late to fix the windows
or order the groceries when the
sirens wail and the radio breaks in
upon our complacency to inform us
the missiles are en their way. Per
haps someone has the answers.
