TUESDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FIVE Electronic Mate-Picking Odious To Women's Editor By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women's Editor Women who hailed the dawn of the push-button age might well stop and take a second look at what the modern Magi has wrought, It's line to push a button and get the dishes washed, the clothes laundered, the roast cooked. It's all right to have an electric shoe shiner, even an electric comb which dries your hair. And if you want an electric eye to open the garage door and a tel evision set to watch the baby, that's okay by me. But not to push a button to get a nusnand. l prefer the old-fashioned way. I confess I am definitely shaken by accounts of the Hollywood wed ding of a beaming young couple who found each other through umvac. News pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kardell, nee Shirley Saunders, look like any other fond and happy bride and groom. He's handsome, she's radiant, and they gaze at each other with the proper expression of bliss. But Shirley and Robert were selected for each other by an elec tronic computer-analyzer on a tel evision show. I he fiendishly clev er machine decided that these two people were made for each other, and the blushing young couple agreed. They weren't introduced by mutual friend. The man didn't sin gle out the girl at a dance or a church social. They didn't even discover each other on a blind date. No, a machine that is smart er than people digested thousands of cards and came up with the introduction. Maybe I'm a reactionary old fuddy-duddy, but if that is what ro mance is coming to. I'm glad I got married before cupid took up elec tronics. Some Little Rock Students Will Start School Today LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP) A portion of Little Rock's high school student population will start school today more than a month tardy.

An estimated 3,700 high school students, including those at Hor ace Mann, .a Negro institution. were shut out when Gov. .Orval K. Faubus closed the city's four high schools Sept. 12 to block in tegration. The schools were sched uled to open Sept. 15. A reported possibility that two Negro colleges would establish high school classes for displaced Little Hock rsegro students was squelched. The Rev. Roland Smith, chair man of the board of Arkansas Baptist College, said if his institu tion decided on the high school undertaking, it would be after fed eral courts act further on the is sue of white private schools. Dean B. F. Lever of Shorter College at North Little Rock said the college president. Dr. A. O.

(AP) The United States and Britain are urg ing underdeveloped nations in South and Southeast Asia to sharply increase the training of technicians needed to help raise living standards in their coun tries. U.S. officials made this known todav as the 10th Consultative Conference of Colombo Plan Na tions swung into its second day.

Official sources stressing the need for more technicians pointed out that a new era of resources available for loans will soon be realized. This was one of the results of decisions reached by directors of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund who met earlier this month in New Delhi. The di rectors approved enlarging up to 50 per cent the capital available for development and stabilization loans. In addition, the U.S. Export- Import Bank has increased its capital two billion dollars to a total of seven billion as a result of congressional action last sum mer. Also, Ihe Eisenhower ad ministration has said it will ask Congress next January for an ad' ditional 225 million dollars to en large the development loan fund which now has 700-million-dollar capitalization. As the result of mobilization of these new credit resources, the United States and its free world partners hope to quicken the rale of economic growth in underde veloped portions of the world. Officials here say Asian nations must turn out more trained per sonnel in order to take fuller ad vantage of these new lending re sources.

He was expelled last month on a charge that he had evaded censorship. This is the first of four articles giving a keen insight into the So viet Union of today. By ROY ESSOYAN Associated Press Staff Writer Russians think the Soviet sys tem of education isn't what it's cracked up to be, especially by the United States. Probably nobody was more sur prised than the Russians at the near-panic of American reaction to Sputnik. After Sputnik went into orbit American educators went into a lailspin of agonizing reappraisal, The Russians lost no time in glee fully picking up the American re frain and crowing to the world that communism had shown cap italism how to educate youth. But Nikita Khrushchev himself pricked that illusion recently when he ordered the system of Soviet education changed. He admitted it was inefficient, discriminatory and top heavy. It produced scientists fine, he Hereford Group Reelects Chief KANSAS CITY (AP) Alan Feeney.

Khrushchev's way of solving the problem hasn't made the Russians any happier but they haven't been happy with their educational sys tem since the Revolution threw theory out the classroom window. The Soviet system has been a patchwork of experimentation. After the Revolution everything that smacked of the old bourgeois ways was scrapped. This included religion. Latin and languages, sci ence, physics, math and even discipline. Proletarianism" and Marxist "polytechnicism" took over. They condemned all theory divorced from practice. Vocational training followed, and produced a generation of il literate mechanics. The light finally dawned in the early 30s and the pendulum swung back. Compulsory curricula were restored with physics, math, competitive exams, backbreaking homework and discipline. After World War 11 this load was found loo heavy. The Krem lin has been gradually reducing it. But, as Khrushchev complained, the system now produces too many pampered intellectuals, boys and girls who have "lost their re spect for manual labor." "Bour-gious-minded" parents use influ ence to keep children out of the factory and collective farm. The system, and Khrushchev's own short-lived campaign of dc- stabilization and liberalization, al so gave birth to widespread stu dent discontent. So now Soviet universities and industries, breeding grounds of student unrest, will be turned in elfect into night schools and cor respondence schools. Most Soviet children will leave the classroom to learn "respect for manual la bor" from Ihe seventh grade up. But only two years ago the gov ernment first decreed that basic education should be extended to 10 years. The 10-year school wasn't even going into effect throughout the country until I960. No wonder Soviet parents arc unhappy. The Soviet school system has been under attack from parents newspaper of the Ministry of Edu cation has carried complaints for years against the shortage of schools, classrooms and text books. Some textbooks haven't been brought up to dale in 30 years. Others, particularly histo ries, are rewritten all the time The paper has also attacked ab senteeism and juvenile delinquen cy, blaming parents and teachers alike. Teachers have often been accused of ignorance, poor train mg and slipshod habits. Accord ing to some complaints many teachers don't know their subjects nnu some m uiu idiiKUdKe ers don't even know Russian well, let alone the languages they teach. Hints of the drastic new change in the Soviet education system started appearing in the Soviet press more than a year ago. I met no Russian parent pleased with the news. who The reason is not hard to find. Forty-one years have passed since the Revolution The old revolution aries are dying off. Except for a thin hard core, the revolutionary fervor is gone. The Russian parent of today has developed a middle-class desire for security, for comforts and a better life for his children. Many are unscrupulous about making sure their children don't have to go through the discom forts they did. And apparently those with money, influence or party connections have been sur prisingly successful, despite the Kremlin's repeated protestations that discrimination does not exist ihe rewards of influence over ability are so well recognized that the Russians have a saying that covers the situation. Even Khru shchev couldn't resist mentioning it in announcing Ihe latest change waslin Soviet education. Referring to the stiff competi tive exams which are supposed to determine who deserves a higher education, he quoted the sayinf: "After the competition of exam inations comes the competition of parents, and the competition of parents is often far more decisive."
