Rumanian
Dash for Freedom After Olympic
Helsinki (U.R) A' pur
posely forgotten knapsack and a
cry for help on a crowded city
street were the keys used by a
Rumanian Olympic sharpshoot
er to break' through the Iron
Curtain in a long-planned dash
for freedom.
The story of how Panait Cal
cai fled Communism, revealed
in an interview before he left
Helsinki, could at last be told
Monday, since he has found re
fuge in the Western world.
The Rumanian marksman said
the Communist government had
him tagged as "politically unre
liable" before he left for the
competition at Oslo and Hel
sinki. I
Guarded Every Minute
"I was guarded every minute
of the time by two members of
the secret police," Calcai said.
"It had a very bad effect on my
pisxol shooting to ' see those
gentlemen around constantly and
to know what they were there
for."
He made his break, less than
two hours before the Rumanian
team was scheduled to return
to Bucharest.
"I purposely left my brown
leather knapsack behind at the
Otaniemi Camp when we went
to the train," he , explained.
"When we arrived at the sta
tion, I 'discovered' the loss, and

GIRL IN 30'S SHOULD
SEARCH .OUT RIGHT MAN
When a woman reaches the
thirties without having found a
husband, she is likely to be bitter
and disillusioned.,This makes it
hard for her to attract men la
ter or to adjust satisfactorily to
marriage, should she marry. This
young woman has acquired a
bitter outlook on men:
(Q) "I'm sure there are quite
a few women in their 30's who
are in the same position as I
am. I have decided that all
unmarried men over 30 are
going to stay unmarried. I.
haven't given up hope of find
ing one exception. But the
ones I have met think they are
doing a girl a favor by dating
her - and then expect her to
show her gratitude by shar
ing a hotel room wiih them.
I have had it happen so often
in the past year that I prefer
lo stay home. I am tired of
having men tell me what ler
riffic lovers they are and how
they can help me make up for.

Salesmen Sold
On Saleswomen
In Denial Trade
. Jersey" City, . N.J. (U.R)
Russell Patterson is a salesman
who is sold on saleswomen.-
Patterson, a sandy haired, en
thuiastic fellow, sits in an office
in Jersey City and oversees the
efforts of 14 women who are on
the go constantly in all parts of
the country.
Among them the women, call
ed "detailers," probably know
most- of the nation's 80,000 den
tists by first name.
The detailers do two things in
their "selling." They tell the
dentist what's happening in the
field of research, ' thus taking
some of the reading load off his
shoulders; they tell him about
various products which have
proven ' beneficial in various
phases of mouth care.
Favors Only Women
Patterson, as boss of the ethi
cal division of Ammident, a
Jersey City concern which
makes toothpaste and toothpow
der, says he'll have nobody but
women in such jobs.
"Our detailers are picked for
appearance, . personality and
their interest in the dental pro

iession, ne saia. as non-pro-
iessionais among professionals,
they must be able to delve into
complicated research papers and
come up with a simple explana

lished and why, its relation to

Gives Apptilude Test
Patterson hires his detailers
only after they've been throueh
an aptitude testing center where
psychologists have, subjected
them to examinations which re

ine detailer is about 40, but
in some cases younger, in others
older. Each woman is assigned
to a certain section of the coun
try and visits about 15 dentists
a day.;Her salary is a good one
and full expenses are paid so in
many cases her earnings are
clear. The detailer may be mar
ried but Patterson prefers they
do not have dependents because
of the excessive amount' of trav
el involved in the job.

Britain's Young Criminals
Prefer Bach Compositions
London (U.R) Britain's
young criminals prefer music by
Bach, according to one of the
men who knows them best.
John Gittins, headmaster of
one of the country's largest "ap
proved schools" (reform schools)
at Aycliffe, County Durham, has
recorded his observations of the
5,000 boys who have passed un
der his care in his book "Ap
proved School Boys," published
by the British Home. Office.
Although most of the boys
live in a cultural vacuum, he
says: "An encouraging sign is
the reaction of the boys to cul
tural activities when these are
sincerely and competently pre
sented. "We have seen an audience of
300 boys sit in rapt attention at
concerts consisting largely of
violin sonatas, and they Have un
animously selected the Bach
Chaconne as the piece de resist
ance. Liked Shaw Play
"They have preferred 'The
Playboy of the Western World
(Synge) to a play fullof action
and fighting . . . they voted
'Man and Superman' (Shaw) the
best play they had seen.
"In painting we have seen
some striking work under skill
ed direction."
Gittins' book attempts to give
the human factors behind the
mounting juvenile delinquency
statistics. Most . of his conclu
sions are depressing.
, He says that often the young
ster who thinks it clever to be
on the shady side of the law is
woefully ignorant about every
thing outside the narrow world
of back alleys and receivers of
stolen goods.
When George Bernard Shaw
died, Gittins reports, none of the
boys had ever heard of him, al
though they liked his play. Few
could name the top three foot
ball teams in the country and
hardly any .knew the names of
more than a couple of players on
the England Test team (interna
tional all-star cricket).
A walk in the country with
the boys revealed they "will
miss the most obvious features
of the countryside, but any con
nection with urban life (the
passing motor car, the scrap-iron
dump) is immediately noticed,
while opportunities for delin
quency (the overhanging fruit
tree) are assessed almost uncon
sciously." A "considerable proportion"
of the boys, even the younger
ones, has had sexual experience.
"What is surprising is that it
does not, as a topic, arouse much
interest . . moral instruction is
very difficult when , the boy
as frequently happens is plain
ly puzzled to know what all the
fuss is about. The guilt feeling,
so often stressed by writers on
sex education, is strangely and,
one feels, abnormally absent."
But Gittins discards any no
tion of a direct connection be
tween movie-going and crime.
While the boys generally lack
any concern for moral and so-

Aycliffe School was opened in
1942 as a "classifying school."
Since then about 5,000 boys
aged between 8 and 17 years
have passed through it. The
peak-age is 14.
The boys are kept at the
school for four to six weeks for
observation. The staff attempt to
select a suitable approved school
for each boy where he can. spe
cialize in some sort of training.
Although a fair number come
from homes described as "appar
ently normal," Gittins states
that their intelligence is below
average as a group.
