Dr. Leonard Mayfield, superin tendent of Medford schools, told Medford Methodist Men and their wives Wednesday evening at a dinner at First Methodist church. Dr. Mayfield reported on his observations during his trip this fall to the Soviet Union with other American educators. He reported that church people, an estimated 400,000 out of a population of 200, 000,000, are second class, if not third class, citizens with no chance of becoming lead ers in the Union. There is re ligious freedom "on paper," Mayfield stated, but actually there is no such freedom. No law prohibits church meetings, the educator report ed, but they are discouraged through various means. There are many old church structures and cathedrals, ac cording to Mayfield. However, they are not used for churches now. Mayfield noted, with one possible exception, no church es in the smaller communi ties. People, he stated, have to go to the larger cities to attend. Russians cannot be come church members until they are 18-years-of-age, May field learned. Attends Services The superintendent said that the Orthodox Russian church cannot be compared with , the Protestant and Catholic faiths since the or thodox churches seem to be under authority of accepted officials working with Com munist leaders. Mayfield told of attending two church services. He said that people in the churches were typical to people in America except for different dress. He reported services somewhat similar tos those in this country except that three ministers talked. He stated that members of the congre gation became quite emotion al. Mayfield said it was in spiring to sit through the services and he described the singing as "wonderful" and "jus terrific." In the Leningrad church, Mayfield said, members of the congregation formed two lines out to the street and the Americans had to shake hands with every one. Demand for church wed dings in Russia is increasing to such an extent that Com munist leaders are becoming concerned and are trying to do something about it, ftiay field stated. He said that tha same thing is happening in connection with burials.
