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.

Need For More Technicians

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

vantage of these new lending re

HOLLYWOOD (API A flock of
celebrities showed up at a cock
tail party for poet Carl Sandburg
Monday night, but most ot them

to sponsor Bing's radio show, said
he walked up to young Crosby
and:
"I told him who I was and want

But all of a sudden we were on
the floor wrestling. He insulted
mv wife."

don't know what happened. This
fellow just came up to me and
the first thing 1 know 1 m wrestl

hands with his taller but more
slender adversary before leaving.
The cheese company and co
median Milton Berle sponsored
the party for Sandburg. But Berle,

EMPIRE, Ore. (AP) A former

said in e'feel, but it also produced
an inordinate number of misfits.
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."
