scene with the present Mrs
Power.
Mrs. Pattia Power, 70. the

Rainless Weekend
Due in Oregon
By United Press International
A warm, rainless week end
was predicted for Oregon to
day.
The weather bureau said re
mains of the last storm front
dissipated over northern Ore
gon this morning and that
high pressure building over
the Tegion should keep Paci
fic storms to the northward
during the week end.
More rain was predicted for
the first of next week.
The forecast at Corvallis,
where Oregon and Oregon
State clash in their 62nd foot
ball game Saturday, was for
artly sunny skies with highs
of 55 to 60.
The Santiam river at Jeffer
son dropped back to an even
13-foot flood stage today
from its 17.2 reading of Thurs
day. The Willamette river
was expected to rise slowly
from Salem to the mouth to
day and early Saturday. The
Willamette was 14.8 feet at
Albany, 5.2 feet under the
flood level.
Editor's note: This Is the second
of three dispatches presenUng the
views of an American educator on
the U.S. and Russian educational
systems based on his firsthand
study of schools in the U.S. S R.
By WILLIAM R. TEASUE
UPI Correspondent
Kent, O- -flP&- One part of
Russia's school system , that
Americans can do without, in
the opinion of Prof. Gerald
Read of Kent State Universi
ty, is the authoritarian role of
the Soviet teacher.
In his visits to Russian
schools this year. Read said,
he learned that: "The Soviets
have rigorous exams and ex
tremely formal schools. The
teacher is law, and when she
speaks you answer what she
has said. Youth never ques
tions a teacher in Russia." .
To illustrate the rigid Rus
sian discipline, the Ohio edu
cator told of meeting a youth
Hearing Resumes
On Violation of
Convicts' Rights
Salem-flJPD-Hearings involv
ing alleged violations of con
stitutional rights of seven
state penitentiary inmates
continued today.
The hearings began Thurs
day with Federal Judge Gus
J. Solomon, Portland, presid
ing.
The inmates contend their
rights are being violated
when they are confined in iso
lation without the . opportu
nity of starting court proceed
ings, seeing a lawyer or hav
ing access to legal papers.
Rules Necessary
Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton said that such rules
are necessary to insure order
ly operation of the peniten
tiary..
The inmates contend that
prisoners going from the seg
regation and isolation build
ing to court hearings are for
bidden to have pen or pencil.
The Oregon chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Un
ion filed a brief in the case
at the request of Judge Solo
mon as "amicus curiae" -
friend of the court.
The union set down what it
thought were general princi
ples that would insure an in
mates constitutional rights,
but the brief was skeptical
that any rights had been vio
lated in this particular case
To Keep Discipline
Bringing the charges were
James Q. Anderson, Earl
Sherwood, Harry Hendron,
Richard E. Williams, George
Barbur, Andrew Taylor and
Paul R. Bailequx.
Members of the State Board
of Control, two convicts and
prison' officials were expected
to appear at today's session.
The state maintains that
confining prisoners to the iso
lation wing without the privi
lege of visitors is for infrac
tions of prison rules' and a
necessary part of keeping
prison discipline.
Tom Sawyer-Type
Doesn't Gel Job
Sturbridge, Mass. -(UPD- A
14-year-old Connecticut boy,
visiting Old Sturbridge Vil
lage, the re-created New Eng
land country town, took one
look at the rustic mill pond
and got an idea.
A few days later the Vil
lage director received a let
ter from Timothey Keith that
read: "I have an idea that a
boy of the Tom Sawyer type
could paddle around your
mill pond on a raft made of
logs and attract visitors to
the Village." ;
Timothy -volunteered to be
the boy at $35 a week plus
room and board. His offer
was rejected because the Vil
lage represents a period much
earlier than that in which
Tom Sawyer lived. -
who wore a red sweater with
a big white "M" on it. After
learning the boy was an Am
erican student at Miami (Ohio)
University, the professor said
he deliberately drew him into
a heated two-hour argument
in the lobby of Hotel Moscow.
'Even ,the Russian pro
fessors were amazed,'' Read
said. "They just could not
understand that an American
student would dare to argue
with a professor."
Would Be Immoral
Read explained that this is
typical of Communist moral
education, which teaches that
students must give themselves
completely to the state.
'If you have ability to
study and do not, in Russia
you are immoral. The result is
that students memorize and
regurgitate facts.
"The motivation is 'study
or be shunted out to a labor
force.' It's a motivation we do
not ha,ve in America."
Read added that Soviet
youths believe in the system
and respect knowledge. They
have great faith in the state's
promises and strongly feel
education will lead them to
world supremacy.
No Salesmen
"Typical of their respect
for knowledge is the fact
there are no salesmen in Rus
sia who brag in front of
youngsters that they cannot
spell, yet drive a Cadillac. It
is different from the Ameri
can attitude.
"In my classes at Kent
State, I often hear 'Why do
we take this junk? History is
junk,' There are no such com
plaints in Russia."

The extremely formal So
viet system offers three ways
to discipline problem children.'
First, the teacher discusses
the hooligan in class. If he
does not improve, he is dis
cussed in a Communist youth
group. If this fails, he is dis
cussed by the .parents' com
mittee.
"If all else fails, there is
Siberia for the child and his
parents," Read said. "There

Most Want To Succeed
The professor reported that
most students want to suc
ceed. Perhaps strongest in
their minds is the great free
dom of choice they will have
after passing the 10 - year
exam. All students beyond
grade 10 are paid- to study.
The better their grades, the
more pay they get.
"They remind me of Ameri
can high school athletes,"
Read said. "They go from in
stitute to institute asking,
'How much will you give me
if I come here? How tough
are your entrance exams?'
Then they choose the best
offer."
Read added that he does
not believe the tests are work
ing out. "Those who flunk can
hire a tutor, cram, and take
the test again. About 90 per
cent of the crammers pass on
second try.
"The desire for higher edu
cation is breeding in Russia
a class which does not want
to work with its hands," Read
said. "This in turn leaves
workers dissatisfied with
their jobs."

Denmark Clergyman's
Referral To Santa as
'Pagan Goblin' Protested
Ing much attention to Neder
gaard's call for a boycott of
the seals. Business was report
ed brisk.
r Chisholm, a physician who
was then director of the
World Health organization,
touched off an uproar here
by remarking that Santa
Claus doesn't really exist.
Danes of all ages sprang to
the aid of the "jolly old elf,"
declaring that of course he
exists.
Copenhagen, Denmark-(DPD
A Copenhagen clergyman who
called Santa Claus a "pagan
goblin" has stirred a storm of
protest throughout Santa-lov
ing Denmark.
The furore caused by the
Rev. Paul Nedergaard's re
mark has not been equalled
here since the day 10 years
ago when Canada's Dr. Brock
Chisholm broke the news to
Denmark that there is no
Santa Claus. , ' '
Wrath Aroused
Nedergaard's wrath was
aroused by the appearance of
Animal Trainer
Killed by Tigers
Ulm, . Germany (UPD Wild
animal trainer Horst, Freyer,
25, made the mistake Thurs
day of turning his back on
five female tigers.. They tore
him to pieces.
Freyer was putting the fero
cious cats through their paces
at the Althoff Circus' winter
quarters here. He attempted
to force the tigresses to form
a pyramid.
When he turned his back on
them, 18-month-old Brahma
leaped at him. She forced him
to the ground and dug her
fangs into his neck. The four
other animals immediately
sprang on top of him, mauling
his body until it no longer was
recognizable.
Circus officials said Freyer
was killed almost immediate
ly. They said he had time for
only one scream.

Christmas seals which are be
ing sold by a Danish chil
dren's welfare organization.
. "These seals bear a symbol
of a pagan goblin," he said.
"You should refuse to buy
them. Find some other way
to aid the welfare organiza
tion." The outburst of protest that
resulted inspired a strongly
critical editorial in the Copen
hagen newspaper.
"Maybe Santa Claus is a
pagan goblin, but the Christ
mas tree and mistletoe are not
mentioned in the Bible, and
yet they have been depicted
on the stamps," the editorial
said. 1

The new Bel Air 2-Door Sedan
Be our guest for a pleasure test , . . drive a Chevy today!
Chevrolet shatters precedent beauti
fully by following its overwhelmingly.'
popular '58 car with a complete design
cliange for '59! Here's the automobile
that's shaped to the new American
taste. It's new and different in , its
vastly increased areas of visibility, in
the roominess of its new Body by Fisher,
in the way it rides and holds the road
even in the sheen of its finish. This
is your kind of car!
This is the one! Chevrolet's completely
new for the second year in a row. New
in every detail. In the fresh slant of its
. Slimline design. In the spacious com
fort of its beautiful Body by Fisher.
New from the graceful sweep of its
. Vista-Panoramic windshield (over 50
larger!) to its safer, softer riding Tyratc
cord tires.
There's a new, peppier Hi-Thrift 6
engine that delivers up to 10 greater
gas economy. A wide choice of quick
sprinting V8's. Better-than-ever sus
pensions to whisk you over rough
spots. Bigger brakes for safer stops. A
new Magic-Mirror finish that keeps its
shine without wax or polish for up to
three years. ; , . ' '
And Chevy's new in a way that's
decidedly different unlike any car
you've seen. Its new style is shaped to
the modern American taste for design
that reflects function as well as good
form. Drop by your Chevrolet dealer's
and see how beautifully the '59 Chev
rolet combines fresh, fine design with
traditional practicality. Nothing's new
like Chevy's new! .
