Advises Family Specialist
What will Premier Khrushchev tell his fellow Russians
about his trip to the. 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
