Portland Squadron
Gels Falcon Missiles
Portland OP! Maj. Gen.
Thomas E. Jlilea, adjutant gen
eral of the Oregon National
Guard, announced Tuesday the
123rd fighter-interceptor squad
ron at Portland air base is being
quipped with twin-jet Northrop
ftircraft armed with Falcon mis
siles capable of "seeking" an ene
my bomber in the sky.
The aircraft, first operational
fighter planes to be armed with
the Hughes Falcon missile, are
the F-83H Northrop Scorpions.
Th Portland-based squadron is
the first national guard squadron
in tti U.S. to get the new planes.
Northrop Aircraft Co. said the
J-89H Scropion has a range of
more than 100 miles and speed
in th "600-mile-per-hour calss."
Russian Standard of Living Said
Far Behind That of United States
Washington 'TP? If the Rus
sians are smart enough to beat
us into space, why do they lag
so far behind the United States
in food production?
Why does a nation with the
technical ability to launch earth
satellites give its citizens only
one pound of meat for every
three or four turned out by U.S.
farmers?
"If you're asking that question,
broaden it," said an Agriculture
Department official who makes
a day-to-day study of Soviet af
fairs. "Ask yourself why they
have such poor housing, and so
few good autos and television
sets.
"You'll find when you look at
their standard of living here is
a great backwardness."
Where military technology is
involved and the Communist
state concentrates its power on a
problem, the men who developed
Sputnik and Muttnik "do. all
right," the expert added.
But in food production, the
Soviet Union has been plagued
by shortages for years, accord
ing to most U. S. students of
Soviet affairs.
The Agriculture Department I
specialist said recent claims that
Soviet farmers will equal U.S.
per capita production of several
major foods in a few years are
"unrealistic. . . propaganda."
The Soviet farmer lags behind

his American counterpart and
probably won't catch up soon,
in this expert's view, because:
Food production and the
manufacture of consumer goods
still take a back seat to heavy
industry and military science in
Soviet planning.
Agricultural science in Rus
sia suffered for many years from
political interference at the
hands of Stalin and Prof. Tro
fim Lysenko, a Stalin favorite.
Soviet agriculture still suf
fers from a wasteful use of labor.
On most collective farms, three
to five workers are needed to do
the job one farm laborer would
do in the United States.
Major Soviet farming areas
are far to the north of U.S. farm
production centers. The collec
tive farmer in general must work
with a shorter growing season
and with frequent dry spells
across wide areas.
Gwynn Garnett, administrator
of the Ariculture Department's
Foreign Agricultural Service,
noted in a recent speech that
the Soviets are celebrating the
40th anniversary of the Com
munist revolution.
"The big story of this anniver
sary one that the Communists
themselves try to hide is the
failure of Communism to pro
vide for the food and agricul
tural needs of its people," Garn
nett said.
The U.S. lead is more than
three to one over Russia in meat
production and about 40 per
cent in per capita milk produc
tion. Soviet farmers, under
orders from Moscow, have ex
panded production of animal
feed grains sharply in recent
years only to find their crops
disappointing.

BY LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (1? Do you al
ways think of dicipline as a
system of rewards and punish
ments? Do you "drag the kitchen
sink" into every conflict j'ou
have with your child? Do you
find it hard to give a child "a
clean yes or a clean(no?"
These, according to Dr. Fritz
Redl, are three of the most com
mon mistaes that parents make
in disciplining their chilren.
Pedl is chief of the Laboratory
for Child Research at the Na
tional Institute of Mental Health.
Here are some of his views on
discipline, based on 30 years of
research on childhood behavior
problems:
Try 'Toleration
Parents should not always go
to one extreme or the other in
reacting to a child's conduct.
There are occasions "when a
child should be praised or re
warded, and times when he
should be scolded or punished.
But there are a great many in
stances in which behavior should
be neither approved nor disap
proved, but simply tolerated."
"Toleration", is a good way to
treat misbehavior that is part
of a child's normal growing
pains, or is "symptomatic" of in
ner stress or worry.
A child won't "get his values
confused" if you fail to crack
down hard on each act of mis
behavior. Every child, even one
who is seriously disturbed, "is
capable of distinguishing be
tween toleration and approval."
The fact that you tolerate a
certain kind of behavior doesn't
mean that you never intervene
to control it. On the contrary, It
frequently Is necessary to "set
and enforce clear limits" to let
a child know that you will put
up with "so much and no more"
on his "age-typical" or "steam
releasing" antics.
Stick To the Subject
"Kitchen-sinkism" is Redl's
term for the tendency of par
ents to recount all of a child's
sins and shortcomings each time
he gets into trouble, instead of
focusing disapproval on the
"single clear issue" involved in
the immediate misbehavior.
A daughter who comes home
late for supper is violating fam
ily rules and "ought to be bawl
ed out for it." But it is not the
time "to revive that old wrangle
about too much lipstick, or her
choice of girl friends, or has she
done her homework."
"Every time you broaden an
issue unnecessarily, you lay your
self open to an alibi that begs
that question. Kids are much bet
ter at this type of argument than
you are, so stay out of it.
The Clean Yes And Clean No
"If your child wants to do
something, and you are a little
dubious about it but have de
cided to let him do it, give your
permission graciously and keep
your reservations to yourself. If
you hedge your 'yes' about with
all sorts of grumbling and dire
warnings, he will not regard it
as a privilege granted by his par
ent, but as a victory he has won
over a surly opponent.
'On the other nand, if you
are going to say no, then say no
You can explain your reasons in
a polite way, but don t get bog
ged down in a lot of arguments,
and don't be apologetic for try
ing to protect your child from
harm.
"Try to be equally clean-cut
when you are setting limits the
homecoming hour, or the amount
of television to be watched, for
example. Some parents seem to
think that they have to be angry,
aggressive and accusing to con
vince a child they mean business
about enforcing a limit. But a
terrific fuss doesn't make a limit
any more effective. Clarity does."
Punishment
Does Redl believe in physical
punishment?
"That's like asking mi if I
approve of whiskey for year
olds. I have to say no on prin
ciple, but I don't mean to imply
that an occasional spanking will
traumatize a child.
"My main objection to physi
cal punishment is that it is a very
poor way of communicating a
message to a child. The instinc
tive reaction of a human being
to physical hurt is to focus his
aggression on the source of the
hurt. That's why a little child
kicks the chair he has tripped
over.
"When you are disciplining a
child, you want him to get mad
at himself and specifically at
the conduct which got him into
trouble.
"He is more likely to blame
his own behavior for his punish
ment if the parent remains in the
role of fair-minded dispenser of
