He told the Reds:
;"The only progressive move
your side can make is to inform
us when you are ready to con
summate a cessation of hostilities
in Korea by accepting our pro
posal." 'The Reds are demanding the
return of all their captured sol
diers in the event of an armistice.
'.The Allies say that more than
half the 169,000 Red prisoners re
fuse to return to Red rule. The

(XPERT ON RUSSIA NOUS
Lack of Concern for Common Man
mat kind of place to live in is
Russia? What makes the "wheels
go around" there, anyway
A Harvard sociologist who has
rubbed elbows with more than
2,000 Russian displaced persons
cleared away a lot of the fog sur
rounding these two questions in
two Tuesday appearances at the
University of Oregon.
He was Alex Inkeles, from the
Russian Research Center at Har
vard. The center is a Carnegie
Vrttinriatinn-snnnsorcd body whose
aim, Inkeles explained, .is to add
some flesh and Diooa 10 wnav i
already known about the skeleton
of life within the Soviet Union.
INKELES SPOKE formally to a
1 p.m. assembly in the Erb Me
morial Union and then Tuesday
night spent two hours answering
questions fired at him in a public
"bull session" in the School of
Journalism.
In a refugee interview project,
researchers found six main char
acteristics of the Soviet regime,
Inkeles said. And above them all
was the absence in Russia of con
cern for "the common man," he
added. The six characteristics
were:
Placing abstract social and
national goals above considera
tions of human welfare.
A peculiar conception about
the psychology ot man, which
holds on one hand that he needs
force and guidance from without
in order to accomplish anything,
but which also maintains that he
is capable of sudden outbursts of
activity which must be stemmed
by constant restraint and super
vision. A demand for constant sacri
fice with only the most meager
rewards to the average citizen.
The "frightful toll" which
the regime exacts for '.failure to
meet responsibilities over which
the individual often has no con
trol. In this connection, Inkeles
told of the Soviet practice of fin
ing workers up to one-quarter of
their pav for as long as six montns
if they are late for work. Even if
a streetcar breakdown is tne
cause, the worker is not excused,
he said, because in Russia a person
should assume that the streetcar
will likely break down and should
leave in time to get to work on
time if it does.
The confusion of the origins
of people with their past behavior.
The attachment of political
meaning to all acts.
Who were the people from
whom this picture of the Soviet
regime was drawn?
They came, Inkeles explained,
from among the 290,000 or so Rus
sians who refused to return to
their homeland after World War
II. There were also some "post-
War defectors" among those Inter
viewed, he said, most of whom
crossed over from Russian occupa
tion zones.
Questioning the displaced per
sons turned up some interesting
and amusing answers, according
to Inkeles. He told of one peasant
woman working on a question
naire consisting of parts of sen
tences which she was supposed to
complete. To one which began
"When it rains," she wrote:
' "When it rains, the secret police
arrest people the same as on days
when the sun shines."
The persons who were inter
viewed were not by any means
only "hangovers" from the Czarist
days nor are they all disgruntled
and unsuccessful, Inkeles said. Qn
the contrary, they were "very av
erage in terms of personality" and, :
on the whole, were "making a go
of it" in Soviet society.
Many would have stayed and
worked if the government hadn't1
"hounded them from place to
place and from job to job,"
Inkeles continued. Others are still
devoted to the idea that only a
big stick" policy will work in
Russia, but they left when the
stick was used on them. There
are some who felt they couldn't
be worse off no matter what they
did, and there is a small minority
of "true ideological defectors"
who left Russia when they ob
jected to the government's policies
on purely moral grounds.
IN THE EVENING question and
answer period, Inkeles said that
there was "relatively mild antici
pation of a state of war" develop
ing soon. Nor is there "strong
hostility" on the part of the Rus
sian man in the street for the
United States, although the regime
is doing its best to instill one, he
asserted.
Inkeles was questioned closely
about the amount of dissatisfac
tion within Russia and what
chances, if any there are that it
IwnulH pfiint in onen rebellion.
In answering, he distinguished
three stages of unrest. First, he
said, is dissatisfaction "the kind
of feeling we have around income
tax time." The next stage is dis
affection, when one no longer
feels any tics binding him to his
government, and lastly is defec
tion, the decision openly to break
away. While there is a lot of the
first variety dissatisfaction in
Russia and quite a bit of disaffec
tion, the interviews indicated that
there is almost no chance that a
successful revolution could be
waged In the USSR, he stated.
ASKED ABOUT a statement!
made here by Paul G. Hoffman,
former head of ECA who spoke on i
behalf of General Eisenhower,
that the general's name was a
"household word" in Russia,
Inkeles said, "This is new to me."
If anyone's name is a "house
hold word" in Russia, it is prob
ably Henry Ford's, he said. The
names of Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Winston Churchill, which be
came well-known during the war,
are also recognized by many Rus
sians. But others are few, he asserted.
