SECTION Medford PAGES 1 lo 10 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1963 Teacher Guide for Communism Urges Full Understanding Editor'i not: Tttching bout communism in Ore gon public high ichooli ii baing coniderd. ThU ii In third oi urin oi tour ditpitch on daring nw program propoiad by th Stat Department of Education. Br ZAN STARK Salem - IUPD - "Our ignore ance of the communist system could well be the greatest single weapon in the arsenal of our mortal competitors." So states the teacher guide "Understanding the Nature of Communism" which was con sidered last week by the State Board of Education. Scheduled approval of the project was postopned to June to give board members more time to study the guide. "As Americans we have often been slow and apathetic in our reactions to this new menace because we have fail ed to understand the nature of the aggressor," the teacher guide explains. Accural Presentation Teachers are warned "com munism and democracy need to be' presented accurately and fairly; otherwise, what is presented will be discount ed by youth and considered as propaganda." It is recognized there is the danger of adverse public re action to such a course. Teachers are cautioned to spend considerable time pre viewing classroom exhibits and films for "content, vocab ulary, and controversial issues in order to be better prepared to give direction to discus sion by the students." Instructors are asked to keep watch on the community pulse. After completion of the course, teachers are advised to determine if the reaction of parents has been under standing and favorable; - Has the general public of the com munity received the study fa vorably and supported it? If not, upon what factors has this unfavorable atti tu.de turned? ' Work on the course began In 1961, shortly after Super intendent of Public Instruc tion Leon Mlnear took office. The guide was prepared by teachers Robert L. Frantz and Wesley F. Johnson of Park rose High school In coopera . tion with the State Education department. The guide was referred to patriotic, professional and civic organizations and groups during the 1961-62 school Goldwafer Raps Mind Changers . Washington - IUPD - Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) an Air Force reserve general, to day criticized the "civilian Pentagon" for constantly changing its mind on weap ons and concepts. "I can tell you this," Gold water said, "one of the sim plest ways for this nation to disarm itself is to keep changing our minds every year about military concepts and weapons systems while the Russians push ahead with a single-minded purpose of becoming supreme in all mil itary spheres and dimen sions." ' Goldwater made the state ments in remarks prepared for delivery before the Na tional Security commission of the American Legion. ! Goldwater said: "I believe now we must understand that disarmament can be accomplished under j present conditions by the siin- j pie expedient of not provid- j ing new military equipment, particularly In the fields of vehicles capable of carrying I nuclear weapons; by slowing j down research and develop ment; by not pushing nuclear : tests as fast as does the ene-; my." 1 He said the RS70 superson- , 1c aircraft had been "aban doned." the Skybolt missile ' had been dropped, manned bombers were being phased j out, the Nike-Zenus missile ' was being delayed, and the Dyna-Soar spacecraft was be- ing "re-examined for possi- j ble junking." On the other hand, he noted Urt Defense Secretary Rod crl S. McNamara was show Inn interest in development ol a long-range reconnais tance strike vehicle. But he added that he hoped McNa- j mara would not "completely reverse his field In the space of one year" as on Skybolt. NEEDS NO 'ROVER' Columbia, S.C. - m - The j state penitentiary admitted it ( was in the market for new, talent but Wednesday turned down an inmate's application : to be a "roving reporter." I year.

BILL FLOW SLOWS Salem - CUPB - The steady flow of bills into the 1963 legislature slowed abruptly to a trickle today the 59th day of the session. Southern Oregon High School Students Visit Dellenbacks Several Southern 'Oregon high school students are get' ting a "capsule course in Ore gon state government" again this year as guests of Repre sentative and Mrs. John Del lenback of Jackson county. Cooperating with school su perintendents of valley high schools in the selection of students, the Dellenbacks plan to have 30 visitors from Phoe nix, Cater, Prospect, Rogue River, St. Mary's Ashland, Medford, Eagle Point and Butte Falls. Seven had already made the tour by last week. The way the program is planned, and the same proj ect was carried out by the Dellenbacks last session of the legislature, the students arrive in Salem Monday night. They make the trip by bus from Jackson county. Sometimes they start right into the governmental indoc trination Monday evening if there are meetings of com mittees, which Repesenta tive Delletiback thinks they will find inteesting. Tuesday morning the stu dents serve as honorary pagos in the House of Representa tives, which gives them the privilege of being on the floor of the House. Tuesday after noon the boys attend com mittee hearings and meetings and the girls go to the open house, which is held each Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Mark Hatfield in her home. Wednesday mornings. Sen. Lynn Newbry arranges for the students to serve as pages on the floor of the Sen ate. Wednesday afternoon, they board the bus to return to their respective high schools. Sometime during these ac tivities in Salem the Dellen backs arrange for the stu dents to meet a number of state officials, including Gov. Mark O. Hatfield, Secretary of State Howell Appling, State Treasurer Howard Bel ton. Sen. Ben Musa, presi dent of the Senate; Speaker Clarence Baton of the House of Representatives, and Chief Justice William McAllister of the Supreme Court. In addition to students se lected for the tour by school authorities, the Dellenbacks have extended personal invi tations to some members of the High School Sunday School class, instructed by Representative Dellenback at West minster Presbyterian church., "It is a fast indoctrination, and it is difficult to tell hnw much detail the students are able to assimilate in that short time," Mrs. Dellenback wrote in describing the project. "But at least it gives them the opportunity to meet of ficials who have been mere ly names to them. And," Mi's. Dellenback stated, speaking from her own viewnnint -'it is one of the most pleasant parts of our stay at the leg islature." Students, who have already enjoyed the Dellenbacks' hos pitality (all are guests In their home during the visitation) and the legislative tour, are Jim Rowan, Jens Hasfeldt, Mark McQueen, Howard Han gen from Medford High school; and Fred Swingle from Phoenix High school. Two personal friends of the Dellenbacks, Peggy Riechers pal speaker. and Nikki Yahya, Peggy's AFS sister for the year from Malaya, also have visited the Capitol.
