tor in Russian language and his
tory. A year or so later he was
named to the faculty of Johns
Hopkins University as a teacher
of Slavic languages. That gave
him an idea, and in 1945 he
came here and set up his own
school.
He was the whole faculty
and offered courses in Russian,
Polish and Czech.
"The classes were held in one
room and I had seven pupils,'
he said. "The next year I had
five teachers, and we instructed
in nine languages. One of my
prize pupils that year was Sen.

teachers and 20 students. The

Washington, Sept. 22 (U.fi) Anatol J. Schnciderov figures he's
way up on Harvard University.
At the end of its first 30 years. Harvard boasted only 30 pro
fessors. After Just three years Schnciderov had 3(1, too. The fact
that he also had only 30 students, he contends, is entirely beside
the nnint 4

His diction in English leaves
a few vowels to be desired here
and there, but, whes it comes
to the tongues of Eurasia, he's
the old master.
Presently, he operates what
he calls the Institute of Slavic
and East European Studies here.
It's non-sectarian and is sup
ported mostly by gifts from
friends of the arts.
The fields covered include en
tomology, languages and adult
studies. Actually it's a gradu
ate school a small one.
Schneiderov who has no use
for the crowd In the Kremlin,
isn't exactly a soldier of fortune,
but he's done about everything
you'd expect one to do.
He studied in Petrograd (now
Leningrad) and got a degree in
civil and military engineering.
In World War I he was station
ed In Manchuria. After the
"Russian revolution he stayed
there as I combination report
er-photographer for a Russian
newspaper. '
In 1928, he went into the pub
lishing business in Shanghai.!
There he studied English, Chi-!
nose, old Russia, and Hebrew!
and became fluent in all of(
them. j
He came to the United States
in 1941 to seek contract with
our government for an armor
piercing shell. The deal fell
through. He enrolled in George
Washington University for an
advance degree in electrical en-1
ginecring.
"I felt pretty small along
about then," he said, "the dean
of the school heard me out and
iuggested It would be wise to
enroll in the Freshman English
class."
In two semesters he managed
to head his class and lose 17
pounds.
"Mostly from sweating out
the English course." he said.
Later the late Dr. Sidney B

department, persuaded him to

pot Dome scandal. Two of
Blackmer's oil associates, Ed
ward L. Doheny and Harry Sin
clair, were involved.
Blackmer slipped away to Eu
rope in 1924 rather than testi
fy at a congressional inquiry
into the Continental Tradinc
company. He was a director. It
was disclosed in a Cheyenne.
Wyo., court that the company
made $2,000,000 through a pa
per transaction by purchasing
oil from one company and sell
ing it to another. The profits
were used to purchase Liberty
bonds. Government detectives
said some of the bonds were
traced to Albert Fall, secretary
of the Interior in the Harding
administration.
Fall was convicted of accept
ing a bribe of $100,000 from Do
heny in the leasing of the Elk
Hills naval oil reserve, part of
the Teapot Dome field. He was
sentenced Nov. 1, 1929. to a
year in prison and fined $100,-
000.
In the same' court and before
the same judge, Doheny was ac-
sors. Last year 24 languages
were taught. In the term about
to open, 48 languages will be
offered. Eventually he hopes to
be able to offer 97 all of Eur
asia.
His theory is that there never
should be more than five to
seven students in any one class.
Schneiderov knows he could
make more money as a plain old
professor, but he thinks that
he's doing some good. He feels,
he says, a satisfaction "in build
ing a mental arch between peo
ple and civilization."

Hollywood (U.R) Most movie stars pride themselves on being
unique, but Van Johnson picked off one of the year's plum roles
because he's just like anybody else.
Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer chose Johnson to star in "Battleground"
because moviegoers say he reminds them of the boy next door.
I m beginning to feel like a
statistic!" Johnson grinned.
But the bobby-sox idol proved
he's still the same plain guy he
always was when he went home
to Newport, R.I., for the 15th
annual reunion of his alma ma
ter, Rogers high school.
One of the first things he did
when he got to his father's house
was to put two movie fan maga
zines in the kitchen window.
"It used to be a signal," he ex
plained. "The girl next door and
I were great movie fans. We
went to shows together and
swapped magazines. Putting
them in the window was the
signal it was time to swap."
The girl next door saw the
signal, too. She rushed over and
invited Johnson to lunch with
her husband and three children.
At the class reunion, Johnson
remembered both the first and
last names of his classmates of
15 years ago.
"An elephant in size and
memory," he shrugged.
One of the "bunch" had open-
