The Soviet Union that Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev will be speaking for when he tours the United States? . . . The Soviet Union that Presi dent Eisenhower will see when he vitti Russia himself? This is the first of five dispatches providing an unusually candid view of the USSR. They were written by a reporter who had spent three and a half years in Moscow before leaving in February. This summer, she returned and toured the coun try extensively, from Moscow to Siberia. Here is her report on "Rus- By COLETTE BLACKMOORE UPI Correspondent Moscow -UPD- The Russian people are sobering up to the fact that East-West tension is a fixture of the 20th century and that no magic formula carl wish it away. They are also an iota more realistic, which is to say discouraged, about the possibilities of fur ther political relaxation inside their own country. These are some of the im pressions gleaned in talks this summer with Soviet citizens from various walks of life. Whether the forthcoming ex change of visits between Pre mier Khrushchev and Presi dent Eisenhower will do any thing to alter their attitudes remains to be seen. My impressions are very general ones. But they are gathered in whatever city and part of the Soviet Union a tourist visits. From Other Russians The most convincing opin ions expressed in Russia to day come not from govern ment officials and Commu nist Party functionaries who are too well briefed on the "contraditions" between the East and West, and in many cases too cynical, to allow themselves any wishful think ing, ever. The frank talking comes from the 200 million "other" Russians. They have in common, whether they are scientists, teachers or coal miners, the fact that most of what they know about foreign affairs is learned from Soviet news papers. And at the present time, they are less optimistic re garding the world situation than they were three, two years or even a year ago. At least, that was the feeling be fore it became known that Eisenhower and Khrushchev would meet. In 1956, for example, a con versation between a Russian and an American tourist in variably went like this. "If your President and our Party Leader could just get together and have a long ch?.t, they would settle a lot of the problems which are bother ing our two countries." Line Still Heard Whether ut the Russian actually believed his own words or was just being ami ably naive, this is what he often said.

But now, many are beginning to realize that getting together and chatting is not enough. They are catching on to the notion that differences be tween the Communist and non - Communist worlds are bigger than both Khrushchev and Eisenhower combined, and that neither the near-absolute power of the one nor the still remarkable populari ty of the other can dissolve these differences. . It is hard to define- what is bringing ordinary Soviet peo ple to this sober realization. Perhaps in part it was the complete lack of progress at the Geneva Foreign Ministers conference. Perhaps it was the stalemate at the East - West nuclear talks. Deep Impression But one thing is sure: - the Berlin crisis set off in Novem ber, 1958, coming so soon after the Quemoy and Leb anese crises, made a very deep impression on the Russians. There were quite a few and they were not stupid peo ple either who thought that this was it, the match to kindle the world fire. And they half jokingly, half seriously talked about "taking a big trip to central Siberia with wife and children long about the end of next May" (the time when Khrushchev's original six-month Berlin limit ex pired). That the Soviet public real ly feared a war was well in dicated by Khrushchev him self in at least one public speech when he took pains to reassure the people that he did not see any war clouds in the sky at that time. Sympathy for West The Berlin situation is one time when the Russian people readily express in private some sympathy for the West ern position. They know full well' who is trying to change the status quo in central Eu rope and at what risk. And if they needed an ex ample of how complicated a thing can be when it physical ly involves the East and West, Berlin h?s given it to them. The Soviet people are hav ing to trim down their hopes only because they let them grow too big at the start. In tr-ur relief at seeing the Stal in era end in 1953, many Rus sians flew to the opposite ex treme, thinking that Soviet American relations would scon climb back up to the happy level of World War II. Now they realize that this canot be, at least not for a long time. They are becoming recon ciled to the permanent exist ence of tension and would be glad if only there could be steady small improvements on the international scene. A similiar attitude of ac ceptance is being adopted to ward some aspects of the do mestic situation. " Travel Far Off All Russians are aware that the epoch of unrestricted travel abroad - when anyone with the rubles can buy a holiday ticket to- London or New York - is far off in the future. Even the oppor tunities for chaperoned, group tourism in the West will re main very, limited for some time to come the new Pacific highway freeway of fill dirt. The ordinance would be in effect for three years or. until a permanent county zoning ordinance is voted on at the polls. A public hearing on the proposed interim zoning ordinance is sched uled for Sept. 23. The feeling of being "coop ed up" is widespread, among Soviet youth especially. But like good soldiers, the intelligent ones are searching for reasons- which they can accept for this continued ab normal situation. One put it this way to a visiting Ameri can. "You have to understand that our Communist Party is involved in a brand new ex periment of building a society, and it does not want to let in foreign influences which might slow it down or upset the apple cart." The' American said he un derstood, but that he didn't think the apple cart was in any danger of being upset. The Russian nodded and ad mitted the reasoning was a little outmoded. "You see," he continued, "the trouble is that our government does not trust its people enough. Other wise it would let more of them travel abroad." The Soviet people are also thoroughly convinced now, if they ever had any doubts, that the Communist Party will never loosen its control over literature, art and other fields of human expression. They expect that more va riety and, experimentation in fiction, music, painting and sculpture will come only very gradually. Behind or above the entire situation in Russia at present is Nikita Khrushchev, and he is still looked upon by his people as a progressive leader and an innovator. If some secretly think that he is be coming a little too full of his own importance, they do not talk about it. View Summed Up A Soviet engineer in Tash kent, Uzbekistan, summed up the popular view of the Rus sian premier this way: "Our Khrushchev is a good sort. He mixes with people." His remark implied a sharp contrast with Stalin', who shut himself up in the Kremlin during the post-war years. Some of the enthusiastic op timism about the future that GRDI-faced Edyth Klumpp, 41, and mother of four, leaves Cincinnati courtroom after oeing sentenced to electric chair for slaving last Octo oer of Louise Bergen, wife of her once lover Bill Bergen. Ml followed Stalin's death has subsided in Russia. It natural ly had to, for in 1954-55 it was like long dammed-up water which had suddenly found a outlet. Now the Russians are tail oring their hopes to the long pull which they know is ahead, to raise living stand ards and everyday human cul ture to a high level. (Next: 'Tea' in Central Asia.) Hagerfy Finds Disfavor With itish Press London - (UPD - Britain liked Ike today but White House Press Secretary James Hager ty got a terrible press. Not even London's Commu nist Daily Worker had a bad word for President Eisenhow er. However, Britain's nation ally circulated newspapers heaped abuse on Hagerty, the man responsible for the Presi dent's press relations The Times of London de voted more than half its Eis enhower coverage two' col-umns-to detailing anti-Hager-ty complaints and then sup ported him. But other newspapers were frankly critical. The Daily Herald accused Hagerty of playing "Ike's visit for laughs" In its main edito rial. The Daily Sketch report ed newsmen left a Hagerty briefing "disgusted and bewil dered." Told What He Ale The Daily Express spoke of "fantastic secrecy" surround ing news about the President. The Daily Worker headed: "We're only told what Ike ate." The British newspapers complained Hagerty failed to provide "real news" about what Eisenhower did. A Lon don reporter Sunday inter rupted a Hagerty briefing to shout his displeasure at Hag erty. , "Are any of us to take these briefings seriously? Are we going to hear anything about the great international issues or are we simply going to hear what they ate?" he said. - Hagerty explained he was allowed to tell only what the President wanted told.

Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Los Angeles-Vice President the effects of President Eisenhower's tremendous welcome on his European tour: "When Ike sits down at the conference table with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, the premier will know that he is dealing with a man who represents the attitudes of the free world." Ann Arbor, Mich.-Chinese describing his feelings during he spent hiding in a Methodist church steeple to avoid the shame of failing at the University of Michigan: "I wts afraid spiritually, I was panicky for almost four years ... I lived in panic. I call myself a Methodist but I'm a traitor to my church and my religion." Richmond, Va.-Negro rock 'n' roll singer Charles (Chuck) Berry, revealing that he considered fleeing last week after he had hidden from an angry crowd in Meridian, Miss., that accused him of trying to date a white girl: "The border from Mississippi to Alabama was about 20 miles away and I was thinking about trying to run all the way.

Hoffa were allowed to continue in positions of authority but that no legislation preventing such things in the future has been enacted." Wall Street Chatter New York -(UPD- When the stock market falls out of bed it may make a noise heard all through the economy, warns the Value Line Investment Survey. "The stock market is gross lybvervalued," it cautions. "Sooner or later it may be ex pected to have a fall the size of which could shock the en tire economy." Value Line says stock prices are living on borrowed time and notes that the break - if and when it occurs could ac tually cause a "shocking busi ness recession." t It adds that the final reck oning may be delayed in point of time but not in terms of value. Investors should always keep in mind the fact the mar ket will always have setbacks as well as advances, says in vestors' reader. The magazine, published by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, says "even more im portant for naive or forgetful investors, the 'market' con sists of thousands of individ ual issues, moving on their own - and quite a number of well-known stocks have not made the long trip back to the 1929 high just as others California!! To Be Questioned in Idaho Slaying Gooding, Idaho-(UPD-A Cali fornian w'iO bought license plates in Idaho last Monday will be questioned in Montana this week about the gunshot slaying of Dr.. John Hunt Jr. Hunt, 37, a Portland, Ore., forestry pathologist recently appointed to an assistant pro fessorship at Yale, was found dead in his station wagon last Tuesday. He had been shot twice in the head by a .44 or .45 caliber pistol. His station wagon was found parked in desert sage brush near Bliss. Sheriff Keith Anderson of Gooding county indicated he would leave here either today or Tuesday for Boulder, Mont., where the man is in custody. Had Green Car The man will be questioned about the Hunt shooting be cause he was driving a dark green Oldsmobile with Idaho license plates when arrested by the Montana highway pa trol. The car, 1948, model, is similar in description to one seen following Dr Hunt's sta tion wagon across the -desert Monday evening. Anderson said the Calif or nian purchased Elmore county license plates at Mountain Home last Monday-the day authorities believe the pathol ogist was killed. And the California's car, Anderson said, had blood stains in it. A paper sack in the rear seat of the car also had blood on it, he said. The man told Montana authorities he had cut his finger.

Box 522 MEDFORD, OREGON - Lack off Press Meeting Angers British Writers London - (UPD - British and continental journalists reacted bitterly today to the an nouncement that President Eisenhower would not hold a press conference here or in Paris, as he did in Bonn. "Why a press conference for the Germans, many of whom only recently were de Nazified, and not one here?" one reporter asked after Brit ish spokesman Harold Evans told a press briefing of the President's decision. Presidential Press Secre tary James C. Hagerty was asked what reasons the Presi dent gave for refusing to meet the press. No Reason Given "I never give any reason for a decision of the Presi dent," Hagerty replied. The reporters were further angered when Evans added that there would be no com munique from Eisenhower's talks with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. .Reporters, hoping to Sal vage something, asked wheth er Hagerty and Evans would be available after tonight's joint television program to "clarify" the President's and Prime Minister's statements. "The President and the Prime Minister's remarks, I would hope, will not need clarification," Hagerty replied. 0 To co-ordinate working hours with Finance Companies of neigh boring states and to allow our employees a more adequate week end, the following Finance Companies of Jackson County will be closed all day Saturdays effective September 5, 1959 It could be yours.

Needed a Gun In the car with Bentley was the family pet cat, Goldie. Bentley said Savoy mumbl ed to him that he needed a gun to pull some robberies. While Savoy mulled over his gun problem, Bentley drove. First up the coast to Oxnard, about 80 miles north, and then back to Los Angeles and slowly around the streets. After nearly eight hours, Bentley noticed that Goldie had curled up on Savoy's lap, purring loudly to occasional caresses from the man.
