Today thousands of older people are living a life of happy carefree retirement with the help of a regular income from their Manufacturers Life policies. Many thousands of families left without a husband and father look to the future wi:i confidence because Life Insurance has brought freedom from money worries.

"Chock" Cox, Telephone 2-8420 em Europe and the Soviet Un ion itself. Put simply, youth believes that "West" is good and "East" is bad. In Hungary, Poland, East Ger many, in all the satellites and in Russia, youths who have known only Communism reject it. Youth sparked the Hungarian revolt. Youth rallied around the anti-Soviet movement in Poland. Youth has East German leaders living in constant fear of trouble. Schools Restless Reports reaching the West say East European schools and col leges are hotbeds for resistance Russian students are no excep tion. The Soviet press has criti- cized students in Moscow and Leningrad for "reactionary" be havior. At Moscow University, students placed British Broad casting Corporation news items on the bulletin boards. Soviet Communist leader Nikita Khru shchev was shouted down while speaking to Moscow undergrad uates, according to Western dip lomatic reports. Most Western observers had expected the reverse. They spoke of a generation ground under and lost to Communism The Communists themsel ves cannot explain it and are puz zled and frightened. East Ger man Communist leader Walter Ulbricht says: "We old Communists grew up under capitalism and took part in the class struggle. But our youth never has known the class struggle. They grew up under bocialism (Communism), take it for granted and engage in criti cism of it." Some Western observers say that youth "naturally rebels." Others say that man has a na tural yearning for liberty, and youth willl oppose any system which puts it in a political, economic and social straitjacket. Life Is Dull There is another factor. Life is dull and cheerless in the Com munist world. The simplest pleasures are warped by politics. Newspapers, films, radio, televi sion all are considered prop aganda media to preach and convert. Attendance at political rallies is obligatory. Sunday after Sun day men who work six days a week must spend their "day off marching in parades honoring tins or that living or dead Red hero or expressing solidarity with5 Algerian rebels, Hungarian communists or Egyptians. Night after night pressure is exerted to attend lectures on Marxism or work overtime with out pay to boost production. Even at Christmas coal miners in East Germany "volunteered" to work. People who have lived in Communist nations are not sur prised at the" Eastern European unrest. They say the only wond er is that there is not more of it. Ocean Liner Docks Without Use of Tugs Ww York (U.R) The super liner United States, queen of the U.S. merchant fleet, docked without tugs yesterday "so grace fully that not a noise was heard, and not a scratch marred her hull." "This was a perfect landing," said Capt. Jones F. Devlin, gen eral manager of the United States Lines, "the most grace ful I ever saw, with or without tugs. Capt. John Anderson, com modore of the United States, did a masterful job." It was the first time that the liner, third largest in the world and holder of the transatlantic speed record over the two larger British Queens, had been docked without the usual assistance of tugboats, whose crews are on strike throughout the harbor The operation took a little more than 30 minutes. Representatives of a strike bound tugboat employers group meanwhile met to consider a re vised set of union demands which Wednesday eased the deadlock in the week-old strike that has cut off 70 per cent of New York's fuel deliveries.

She is Mrs. Mary Ellen Bratum, 50, of Saginaw, Mich. Assistance Fund Fight Promised Salem !U.R) Oregon's Demo cratic congressmen have assured Gov. Robert D. Holmes they would continue to fight against limitations to public assistance administration funds placed on the urgent deficiency appropria tion bill in Congress Tuesday. Gov. Holmes had requested Oregon congressmen to give close scrutiny to House action for fear that the limitations might force readjustments to the Oregon pub lic assistance program in the April-June quarter of the fiscal year. Reps. Edith Green, Al Ullman and Charles Porter advised the governor that they were hopeful that a strong fight for deletion of the restrictions could be made in the Senate. Mrs. Green led the House floor fight against the lim itations. ' . The extent to which funds, to Oregon would be limited for ad ministration purposes was still not determined, but the greatest concern was that the funds would be cut off without enough time to make an orderly adjust ment in the operating budget. Welfare payments would not be affected by the limitations.. A HIGHT RESPONSE New York (U.R) Former box er Louis Stolfi won on the first punch over Albert Scott with a right to the jaw Thursday.
