Pulse of Public in Moscow Easy To Find; Musel Learns in Talks By ROBERT MUSEL Uniled Press International Moscow CPD It's easy to put your finger on the pulse of the public in Mos cow. What one man in the streets t h i n ks, everyone thinks. As a result, life is much simpler for journalistic poll takers in the Soviet Union than it is in the West. For many years, every time there has been an interna tional crisis, I've dashed out into Broadway, the Rue de la Paix, Piccadilly or St. Peter's Square to record the reaction of the average man. Frankly, in the West this is a headache job. The West erner is disputatious and opin ionated and apt to take a con trary view simply because be believes in it. You always wind up with a notebook filled with conflicting views. Not so in this strong and bustling capital of Russia. I've spoken to a number of Russians in the past few days about the summit conference and international tension and the results always have been the same. A Hotel Worker The first man I talked to was standing in front of the squat mausoleum where thousands come daily to see Lenin and Stalin eternally ly ing in state. He said he learned his Eng lish in the hotel where he is employed. As we strolled down wide Gorki street, with women street cleaners busy on the sidewalks, he suddenly said, "Tell me, why do you want war?" I said I didn't want war and furthermore I didn't know any American who did. "But you are ringing us with air bases." he said. "And everybody knows air bases can only be for aggression." I tried to explain the Ameri can attitude to him but he was my first Russian man in the street and so I can be for given the waste of time. Lores San Francisco My second Moscow pulse interrupted my dinner at the skyscraper Hotel Ukraine, which stocks 71 wines, cham pagne, liquors and serves such delicacies as hazel grouse in sour cream, roast duck stuffed with apples, beef stroganoff and chicken ala kiev. He was a Russian at the next table who introduced himself as a wartime mer chant mariner who had fallen in love with San Francisco. "I hope you do not approve of your country's intervention ist policy in Lebanon," he said. "Let us drink a toast, 'hands off the Middle East'." I solicited a conversation with another Russian at the Prague Restaurant who ask ed, "Why did your president make such difficult conditions for a summit meeting?" The conversation then followed the eventual course, ending in agreement to disagree. All Are Friendly I must say that every Rus sian I have spoken to was friendly, curious, helpful "and at least superficially sincere, and he was no exception. However, he felt I was ill IT'S COOL INSIDE MONDAY NIGHT DOOR BUSTERS ON SALE 5 TO 9 ONLY CHILDREN'S Playwear, Swimwear 2-PC.

By now, my "Western note book would have had a dozen points of view and I'd have had to shuffle them around to get a consensus. No such problem here. When it comes to serious international matters of high policy nearly all Russians close ranks behind Premier Nikita Khrushchev. When you've talked to one about politics, you've talked to them all. Father, Daughter Saved from River Oregon City (UPD A 14-year-old girl and her father were saved from drowning in the Clackamas river near here Saturday. Georgia Jane Phillips was picnicking with her family at Clackamette Park and appar ently got too far out in the river while wading, witnesses said. Her father, John J. Phil lips, went to her rescue but was unable to bring her to shore after he became strick en with cramps. Top Arabian Horses. Named at SF Show San Francisco (UPB EI Si rocco, owned by Dan McAr thur of Salt Lake City, and Amsheh, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Games of Reno, have been named top horses at the all-Arabian horse show in San Francisco's Cow Pal ace.

Oldsters Create Housing Problem Champaign, 111. (UPD The growing number of old er persons in our population has created some special hou sing problems, according to University of Illinois home economist Mary Farnham. BOUND FOR U.S. Moscow (UPD A three member Soviet youth delega was en route to the United States today at the invitation of the Committee of Young Quakers of North America. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, August 11, 1958 3 She offers these tips on some of the special housing requirements of "senior citi zens": Older persons don't want and shouldn't have to care for as much house or "yard as a family with growing children. A one-story house is best, with no more than one or two steps at the entrances. Two story houses Should have a bedroom and bath on the first floor. Since falls are the number one cause of accidental deaths among persons 65 and over, all rooms and halls should be well-lighted, floors should not be slippery, rugs should lie flat. Bathtubs and showers should have grab-bars. Good fire protection also is essential. ir Builders Supply su QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues, Drain Tile 727 W. McAndrewi Ph. SP 2-4107 Most People in U. S. Would Die In H-Bomb Raid Washington (UPD A House subcommittee released a hith erto secret study today esti mating that most of us near ly 160 million persons would be killed in an H-bomb raid now on 150 'American cities. This startling figure was contained in a study of prob able effects of a nuclear at tack prepared by the Rand Corporation, a research con cern that does top-secret re search for the Air Force. The House military opera tions subcommittee, in releas ing the study, said it was made by the Rand Corpora tion on its own and not with government money. " Renews Appeal The subcommittee, which long has urged a 20-billion-dollar nuclear shelter pro gram, renewed its appeal with release of the study. It said failure of the administration and Congress to adopt the program has put the nation in "mortal danger." Rep. Chet Holifield (D-j Calif.) subcommittee chair man, told United Press Inter national that blind economy by the Eisenhower adminis tration was blocking the shel ter program. "We spend 40 billion dol-, lars a year for defense and. it gives us no final defense," i he said. "We gamble every- i thing on the idea that our re taliatory power will prevent . an atomic war. But what if j it doesn't? The nation has vir-1 tually no civil defense at all." : The Rand corporation study j did not specify the degree of preparedness in individual : cities nor name the 150 cities, i But expert witnesses before j the subcommittee said there was virtually no preparedness in any American cities. I Portugal Seeking Gambling Title Lisbon (UPD Lisbon, one of the few continental' capitals with its own ocean playground, is gearing for an all-Qut assault on Monte Car lo's supremacy in the Euro pean gambling world. City fathers have laid plans for the building of Europe's swankiest casino on the sea front at Estoril, only 16 miles from the center of Lisbon. Teodoro dos Santos, who was given the gambling con cession in the Estoril .area, said the new casino "will be the most modern and luxur ious in Europe." The old casino was fre quently criticized as a gloomy institution which failed to at tract people with money. The new building will have a cinema and a theater, three dance floors one for pri vate parties, one for the se date and a third for the jiv ers and . various reception rooms as well as the gamb ling salon. Gambling regulations will restrict tables largely to for eigns. Yirtually any foreign visitor over 21, who is not drunk, can have a fling. Conditions for the Portu guese are much tougher. Na tive gamblers must be over 25 and prove that they are not in government employ or holders of a job in a private firm where they, have any re sponsibility for cash. Neuberger Says Big Problem is Inflation Chicago (UPD Senator Richard Neuberger last night attacked "cruel or anachron istic employment policies" which waste "priceless skills and talents" of older Ameri can workers. Neuberger also warned that Americans face inevitable price controls in their battle against inflation. He called in flation the most serious prob lem facing the nation.
