The Acropolis is visible in the science and its political thought. (UPI Telephoto) Greece, Source of Government, Seventh Stop on Ike's Travels By United Press International President ' Eisenhow' er's seventh stop is in a na tion slightly larger than New York state which gave the western world the founda tions of its government, its art and architecture, its phil osophy, its science, its politi cal thought. It also gave the West its first post-war victory over Communism. Greece points like an out spread hand into the wine dark Mediteranean Sea, drip ping jewels from its finger tips to form islands. This cluster of mountains, deep cut bays and tiny islands be came in the centuries before Christ, the seat of ' culture which formed the basis for Western civilization. Dig deep under almost any aspect of modern life and you will find Greece. Land of Wonder v It is the land of gods; of Mount Olympus and its Zeus led tenants; of Homer, Plu tarch, Plato, Aristotle, Aris- tophenes and countless other demigods of thought and lit erature; of Alexander the Great and Spartan courage; of the Olympiad and the first marathon run. The Greeks had a word for it, and their Golden Age produced a civilization which is still the wonder of the world. Its architecture and art are still revered and copied; its monuments still rank among man's greatest achievements. The Acropolis and the Parthenon, the tem ples at Paestum, the sculp tures of Delphi, the vases of Attica, crumbling Doric and Ionian columns, the Winged Victory of Sathothrace - all remain targets at which less er civilizations aim. But Greece is not all his tory, and not all Golden. Its 8,130,000 people are rich in antiquities and comparative ly poor in spendable wealth. Its forests are denuded, its manufacturing almost nil, its agricultural dependent on the arable V of the country. Settles Cyprus Dispute But the Greeks are used to fighting. They fought the Ro mans in 46 B.C. and lost, fought the Ottoman Turks in 1453 and lost, fought for their independence in 1830 and won. They fought the Italians in 1940 and were winning when Nazi Germany moved in to beat them. After World War Two, they fought a bitter guerilla ' war against local Communists who attempted to seize the government. Greece is governed by a royal couple as popular as anywhere: King Paul, 58, and Queen Frederika. Its prime minister, 42-year-old Constan tine Karamanlis, is. a tough anti-Communist friend of the West. With the disput with Turkey over Cyprus settled, Greece is taking its place in the councils of the West.

This report, filed with the govern ment in the public interest, su persedes all previous ratings.

One of the scientists who developed new Life, Mr. Thomas Wade, said in an interview: "This newadvance was largely due to one factor the super absorbent Millecel Filter de veloped for Life Cigarettes. With this new filter, Life has been able to achieve the least tar and nicotine of any ciga rette made, as shown by the filter ratings on file with the U.S. Government." Report to Government Welcomed Life has set a new standard of tar and nicotine reduction. Life scientists have also de veloped new taste enrichment which delivers full flavor never before possible in a fil ter cigarette.

(Continued from Page 1) Social life in the Soviet is completely different from that followed by most Americans. There are no church clubs or circles for either men or wo men, no service clubs as Li ons, Kiwanis, 20-30 or Rotary. Neither are there fraternal organizations such as Eagles, Hedmen, Knights of Colum bus, Elks or Masons. Lunch eon and dinner meetings and programs, which are a part of our way of life, are complete ly absent in Soviet social life. When we conversed, students reported that their parents on occasion would meet at each other's apartments for visit ing, chess, and to listen to mu sic programs or to observe television. We were told that the Communist party sponsors meetings for both youth and adults on matters relating to the nation's welfare. 'Citizens -both men and women-are on-couraged-in fact-expected-to attend. Divorce Difficult - In studying Soviet history one finds that many social patterns and attitudes have completely reversed themselv es in the past decade. They have moved from a free flow ing type of morality and so cial custom to one of "near Puritanism". Divorces are ex tremely difficult to obtain. The U.S.S.R. now has one of the lowest divorce rates of any country. One sociologist was critical of existing di vorce laws. He considered them too strict in' that they were forcing incompatible parents to live together which often resulted in their chil dren becoming emotionally disturbed and resulting in maladjustment. Night clubs with "girl shows" and motion pictures based on sex appeal are banned. Jazz type of music is considered unacceptable, and is not to be found on avail able records, or sheet music. Conduct which relates to sex, such as petting, love making, or even holding hands is con sidered uncultured and not to be seen in public places. Those with whom we discussed this type of conduct merely an swered, "it is bad," or "it just isn't done." It was interesting to find that the U.S.S.R. sets aside one day in the spring as "Wo man's Day". On this occasion every woman in the Soviet is expected to take a complete holiday and respite from her work and duties. It is consid ered a paid holiday for them and various types of programs and activities are carried out in their honor. A typical family in the U.S.S.R. has a limited choice of entertainment. While op eras, ballets, circuses and sports programs are quality productions and well attend ed, they are not readily avail able to the majority of citi zens. Transportation problems and costs limit attendance. Since these programs are un der, government sponsorship they are rigidly censored and controlled. Museums, of which there are many, are well attended. They offer the Soviet people entertainment at a very low cost. We found many parks, large and small, in every city. Even the small rural commu nities had parks and zoos and sizeable crowds using the fa- BAD FEET NO HANDICAP Grantham, England (UPD - Albert Johnson, who flunked his military physical 10 years ago because of bed feet, Sun day claimed a new record among Britain's hiking enthu siasts.

Only a few American cities have museums compa rable to those observed in the U.S.S.R. Our parks and zoos compare most favorably to theirs. We have far more places for family and group picnics. More Cars Than Expected - There were far more pri vate cars in Russia than we had anticipated. Yet in com parison to America, few fami lies have the use of cars to go places and travel on week ends and vacations. Those interested in reading for recreation will find only books and magazines which have been censored and ap proved by Soviet officials. No American books, magazine's, or newspapers of any type are available except those which are critical of our way of life. The people appear to be pro digious readers. It seems that there were several bookstores or stands in every block. It was not unusual to observe dozens of people, mostly men, reading in the parks. Copies of the newspapers are posted daily on the walls of build ings. Again, it was not unus ual to find people standing in line in order that they might have an opportunity to read the news. With the gov ernment censoring and limit ing publications, citizens do not have the opportunity for choice and variety that we have. The cost of reading ma terial of all types was very reasonable; however, the qual ity of the printing and paper used was considerably below our standards. Apparently the Communist officials are concerned about recreation and leisure time activities for their "people They have provided a variety of activities in the form of public entertainment such as opera, ballet, circus, sports contests, youth and adult ral lies, public parks, radio, tele vision, motion pictures, and quantities of reading material to fill this need and demand for things to do. In terms of the average American's ex pectations, the Soviet pro gram is limited and would be considered boring.
