United States? What were his impres sions? A British journalist, Patrick O'Donovan, Washington correspondent for the London Observer, sat down at his typewriter a few days ago and wrote what he thinks Mr. Khrushchev will say about the United States, its govern ments, its politicians, its religion and culture. Today, by way of the. Herald Tribune News Service of New York, Potpourri borrows Mr. O'Donovan's words: Washington. When Premier Khrushchev at last gets settled down at home after his trips to the United States and Red China, he will presumably make a report to his Presidium, for his colleagues will want to know what really happened in the United States. No confidential information of his intended reports is available, unfortunately. But it could possibly be something on these lines omitting the "old Russian sayings" and pre suming the most exhausted of the Marxist cliches are no longer used among intelligent men in private. A 14-point directive-report could, then, run on these lines. 1 I was surprised to find almost all of what my Am bassadors and emissaries have reported to me from America is true. The resident correspondents of Tass and Pravda had better be replaced. They have served us well .and should be given good positions, perhaps in the Department of Western Fiction in the State Publishing House. 2-The U. S. Government: We found little to surprise us here. The Government is controlled by Mr. Eisenhower and, although less efficiently and swiftly than in the case of " your Chairman (me) generally gets his way in the end. 3-American politicians: I did not meet many of these. Preoccupied with the continual problem of getting re-elected, they seldom say or do anything but the safest things: Most of them seemed to go into hiding at the prospect of meeting me. Some' were elaborately rude, but I found no difficulty in answering them since they are unused to real controversy, to being shouted at, and to facing a conviction that is the equal of their own. Nor did they seem to know the correct arguments for their side. They should be encouraged, when in Russia, to continue to boast about electric broilers and flush toilets. It is most offensive. 4 Public opinion: Curiously similar to ours. The people have not been taught i to talk of peace, indeed the word causes a sort of embarrassment if used too often (what a ham Nixon was in Russia to keep using it) but they do not want war. They are more progressive than their politicians. We must consider the fact that if we have ever to return to the former hard line, they will be deeply shocked and may react with a colossal outburst of military spending, research and energy. 5 The press: AH but inexplicable. Although naturally hostile and dishonest, they will publish anything if they think it news. My wife was a great success. They delight in friendliness and can be disarmed by laughter. Note: Maybe it would be better to replace Gromyko as Foreign Minister. Someone capable of smiling and with a large and charming family should be given the job. 6 The police: They all ride motorcycles, are heavily armed, and have little contact with the people, who resent the noise they make. Their control over crowds is absolute; they have no control over the press. 7 Religion: This exists in America and there is no harm in being polite about it. It is not, however, of the profound Russian variety; it will not greatly influence policy and is not therefore a serious danger. Watch out for Cardinals, though; they can be distinguished -by scarlet buttons and large gold Crosses. It is too early to invite Cardinal Spell man to Moscow. 8 Culture: None.. Russian accendancy in this respect can be best maintained by continuing to ask ice-skating groups and comedians to Russia while . sending them our ballet and opera troupes. Watch out for the films; they demoralize the Army, any Army, if what I saw in Hollywood was t fair sample. 9 Standard of . living: This, of course,: is high and we must hesitate to achieve such a standard until there are no military dangers or worthwhile adventures left. People so comfortable will not willingly become soldiers (see para graph 4). Their diet, though lavish, is as monotonous as ours. Even I was kept on a daily diet of shrimps, followed by chicken, followed by ice cream. Their vodka is excellent, but this need not be admitted. Fortunately, there are still slums: Perhaps an illustrated book on the "picturesque" side of a few selected cities might ram this point home. 10 Efficiency: Overrated. During my tour of India, the elephants always arrived on time. Not so in America where the planes were late, the cars stalled, the elevators stuck and no one seemed to know what would happen next. Future Russian visitors to America should note that frequent changes of program at short notice are effective in furthering this impression. 11 Allies: There is a lot of tedious talk about having to consult their allies. This means: "What will Adenauer say?"-Time will take care of that one. 12 Labor unions: Very dangerous. They have strong convictions and are very anti-Communist. They also answer back. Stick with the large capitalists; their political con victions are vaguer and they prefer to talk business, not principles. They are capable of taking care of their own unions. ' 13 Farms: These are excellent, and, as in Russia, depend for their survival on Government control and subsidies. The American farm may be taken as a vindication of the Rus sian system. There are even signs of incipient collectiviza tion in the massing of large holdings in the hands of land lords interested only in efficiency. 14 General: The Americans bear a surprising resem blance to the Russians. They like work, are intrigued by foreigners and anything new, inhabit a vast country, are fascinated by technology, relax fiercely and cannot see that they are wrong. They are naturally friendly. Contacts had therefore better be kept at a cultural and official level for the foreseeable future. Corvallis - Oregon families who find their pocketbooks empty before payday should examine their spending habits before blaming shortages on the "high cost of living." Families often blame infla tion or the high cost of living for their money problems in stead of ferreting out the real causes, says Mrs. Dorothy Sherrill, extension home man agement specialist, Oregon State college. Inflation is on ly part of the story. A Department of Commerce survey shows that family in comes are up considerably. In the past 11 years, average after-tax income has increased 50 per cent from $3720 per family and unattached indivi dual in 1947 to $5610 last years, the specialist points out. "But everything costs more; money doesn't buy as much," families often complain to the specialist. However, Mrs. Sherrill suggests that families interpret this 1947 family in come in terms of 1958 prices. They will find that "real" spendable income has increas ed about 18 per cent. Families who find the going rough could benefit from an examination of their spending Q habits, she advises. Oregon families can compare t?ie dJ-Q lar's buying power today by looking at old income tax statements. If your family income has increased as much as 50 per cent since 1947, chances are your increase in income is av erage, the specialist believes. This means a family is 18 per cent ahead, although more dol lars are going for goods and services today than in 1947. q "After sizing up your in come situation, take a second look at family spendings," she advises. "Analyze where your dollars are spent. Then devel op a wise spending and saving plan. You'll have fewer finan cial worries and more peace of mind," assures the special Young Musicians Have Long Orchestral Careers Some of the young musi cians of the Portland Sympho ny orchestra, which will play here Sunday, October 18, have been with the organiza tion several years; a number also play with the main Port land Symphony orchestra. The concert will be at 2 Airline Seeks Stewardesses For flavor and color in soups, salads or meat dishes. 1 A career in the sky will be offered to more than 700 girls during the next year by Unit ed Air Lines which plans the largest, stewardess training program in its history, ac cording to K. W. C o o k , ground services manager for the company here. . The increase in stewardess recruits is necessary to man the company's new and larg er jet equipment, the mana ger states. Both the forthcom ing Douglas DC-8 and Boeing 720 jets entering the com pany's routes will carry a rew of four stewardesses on ach plane. To qualify applicants must be sing'e; at least five feet, two inches in height and not over five feet, eight . inches and 138 pounds or less in pro portionate weight; 20 years old but not yet 27. United has its stewardess school at' Cheyenne, Wyo., where the girls are sent for 4Vi weeks training before being assigned to flights. - Square Dance To Be Saturday A square dance is planned Saturday, October 17, at 8:30 p.m. at the Bellview Grange hall. All square dancers are invited and potluck refresh ments will be served. Floyd Workman will call the squares. The annual "Night Owl" dance will be held at the Grange hall on Halloween. 4 Kilchens Need Light East Lansing, Mich. - (UPB -Put some light on the subject when you're working in the kitchen, advise home manage ment specialists at Michigan State University.
