Foreign Language Pupils
Outnumbered By Russians
By THOMAS P. WHITNEY
AP Foreign Ncivn Analyst
The number of pupils in Ameri
can schools studying any foreign
language is a small fraction of the
comparable figure for the Soviet
Union.
Recent Soviet statistics say that
in the U.S.S.R. during the school
year 95li-57 about 12 million stu
dents in grades 5 through 10 were
enrolled in foreign language class
es. In the United States during the
school year 1954-55, the latest year
for which any figures are avail
able, they were roughly 1.400,000
pupils in all grades of elementary
and secondary schools of the coun
try studying a foreign language.
In Soviet schools, in grades 5
through 10, a foreign language is
compulsory. German is the most
popular foreign language there,
with 7,651.000 pupils enrolled for
it in 1956-57. In the United Stales
in elementary and secondary
schools in 1954-55 about 40,000 pir
nils were studying German.
English was the second most
popular language in Soviet schools
with 3,306,000 students in 19,300
schools.
For comparison, in the United
States in the same school year
there were only a dozen second
ary schools in the entire United
States giving Russian language iu
struction. With the increased in
terest in Russian since Spulnik the
number of schools giving Russian
language courses has jumped this
year to approximately 80, the U.S.
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare report.
Officials of the U.S. Health. Edu
cation and Welfaro Department re
port there areindications that this
current year in the United States
I he number of students taking for
eign languages has increased con
siderably over the level of 1954-55,

Oregon State Policeman
Saves Accident Victim
FLORENCE, Ore. (AP)-A red
haired mill worker, who gave up
hope alter being trapped in a car
nearly covered hy a rushing nv
er, was in good condition in f
hospital here today.
Western Lane Hospital said
Reuell Morse Upton, 51, was able
to get up and walk around Sun
day night after his chill, watery
ordeal.
The 6-foot, 165-pound Swiss
home, Ore., man owed his lile
to a number of things, including
a little air pocket and a state
policeman who wouldn't believe
he was dead.
Upton's car plunged eight- feet

River near this coastal town in
pre-dawn darkness Sunday.
Upton later said that he gave
up hope of being rescued when
ho found that he could open neith
er the doors nor the windows of
the upside down vehicle.
After that, he lost conscious
noss. For more than two hours
he was in the car, before a truck
pulled the vehicle from the water.
The car, with only its wheels
above water, had been spotted
by a train crew.
Stale policeman Robert Buswcll
was there when Upton was taken
from the car. Ruswcll said he at
first thought Upton was dead.
I bent over him. And he
wasn't exactly breathing, just
sort ol a gurgling sound.
Buswell applied artificial respi
ration, revived Upton and then
I hp man was rushed to the hospi
tal here.
The policeman gave this ac
count after talking to Upton:
lie said he was gome about
miles an hour, and possibly
went to sleep. He said he remem
bered running off the road and
then the cold water.
"lie tried to open the doors but
thpy were jammed shut. Then he
tried to get a window down but
couldn t.
Upton said that it was about
then that he gave up nope be
cause he knew he was under
water. I imagine that he lost con
sciousness about then.
I imagine that his head was
up beneath the steering column
and the instrument hoard, where
I hero must have been an air
pocket.
He was unconscious when we
got him out. hut he still had a
grip on the brake pedal. We had
quite a time prying his hands
loose.

Power, Off The Screen,
Was Complete Antithesis
Of Swashbuckling Roles
By VERNON SCOTT
I'PI Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD lUPD Tyrone
Power symbolized a movieland
era in which the leading man was
a dashing, handsome, swashbuck
ling hero who managed to rescue
the heroine in the final minute of
the last reel.
He was playing such a role
when he died.
His contemporaries in the "pret
ty boy" era included Errol Flynn
and Robert Taylor who long ago
ave up those flamboyant roles.
They have been replaced by the
new school of not-so-pretty dis
turbed" young method actors.
But Power continued to star as
swashbuckler because that's
what moviegoers and producers
expected of him. He was a throw-
hack to the silent days of Douglas
Fairbanks.
In his 22 years In pictures the
flashily handsome actor starred in
26 roles, most of them calling for
feats of dernngdo, a situation he
deplored.
Power had an apologetic atti
tude toward his career. Frequent
ly he requested modern dramatic
roles, and when he did appear In
them the boxoffice registered
"tilt." The public saw him as a
knight on a white chargen
So Power continued to play the
hero whose only problem was to
kill the villain and save the lead
ing lady.
He didn't like it.
Off-screen Power was the antith-
Convictions
Set Record
More convictions for traffic vi
olations than ever before recorded
in a single month were reported
hy Oregon ludges during October,
Hie Department of .Motor Vehicles
reported today.
The department said 14,938 driv
ers were convicted of violating the
state's traffic laws during the
month.
Officials said 644 of the ab
stracts received were forwarded to
the financial responsibility section
of the department for action. More
than 250 of these abstracts were
for convictions of driving while in
toxicated, a charge which, under
the law, results in mandatory li
cense suspension.
More than 120 drivers were con
victed of driving on a suspended
driver's license. Sixty three of these
drivers, in addition to receiving an
additional one year suspension
were sentenced to two days in jail
Other reasons for suspension in
cluded 168 on court recommenda
tion and 312 through discretionary
action of driver licensing officials.
Of the 312 drivers who lost their
licenses through discretionary ac
tion of the department, 265 were
suspended because of too-frequent
involvement in accidents or traf
fic violations'. Other reasons for
discretionary suspension included
failure to complete tests, medical
report and involvement in fatal
accidents.
esis of his screen portrayals.
to nis iricnas he was a thought
ful, intelligent man with a ready
wit and an aversion to Hollywood
parties. He was quiet, dignified
and well-mannered.
Through two divorces and three
marriages he maintained an un
ruffled exterior, refusing to dis
cuss personal problems with the
press or with his closest trienas.
When the white glare of publicity
turned too brightly on his personal
affairs he traveled to New York
or Europe.
Power olten spoke of turning nis
talent entirely to the theater, a de
sire growing out of his ambition to
become as great a legitimate per
former as his father and grand
father before him.
"There's a vast difference be
tween movies and the stage," he
said earlier this year. "Somehow
you feel as if you are cheating
when you work before the cam
eras. There are so many tricks
and gimmicks to help you along.
But in the theater you are on
your own. You stand or fail on
your own ability. And there is a
real thrill in that knowledge."
Three generations of performers
instilled that instinctive drive in
Power.
His great-grandfather, Tyrone
Power, the first, was a celebrated
Irish comedian named after Coun
ty Tyrone. He was a beloved fun
nyman for more than a quarter
century, beginning in 1827, in
Europe and the United States. His
grandfather was the famed British
concert pianist, Harold Power.
Tyrone the second, his father,
was for years a renowned Shakes
pearean actor.
And though he became better
known, seen by more people than
any of his predecessors, movie
star Tyrone firmly believed he
never reached the heights attained
by his forebears.
Powers was not a robust man,
despite his handsome physique.
He frequently suffered from virus;
infections and was allergic to cold, i
damp weather.
Still, he insisted on performing
difficult fight scenes and stunts
for his films, much to the annoy
ance of 20th Century-Fox moguls,
where he was under contract for
most of his career, going back to
1936.
He smarted, under the studio's
insistence that he play vacuous
roles, but and this is typical of
the man rather than go on sus
pension or precipitate a public
quarrel, he -agreed to their de
mands.
Says Charles Laughton, a close
friend of Power, "Can you imag
ine what it would be like having
to live with an oversize mythical
monster whom you and many
other people had invented togeth
er. That is what my friend Ty
had to live with. The mythical
monster was called Tyrone Power.
"Ty lived inside this shell which
the whole world knew by sight
and which was made partly by
himself and a raft of writers, di
rectors, producers and publicity
departments.
"Underneath the movie star
shell he was a hard working art
ist, proud of his craft and of his
heritage."
When he died last Saturday
morning, Tyrone Power had no
permanent home. He had sold his
mansion in Bel-Air (which is cur
rently occupied by Elizabeth Tay
lor) and spent part of his time in
a New York apartment with his
third wife, Deborah Mmdaraos, a
26-year-old Mississippi Deauiy.
He had recently purchased a
vacht, which he called "Th
Black Swan" after one of his pic.
lures, and had planned to livi
aboard the boat on the Riviera
after completing his role with
Gina Lollobrigida in "Solomon and
Sheba."
Tyrone Power could not live as
his father had as a great Shakes,
perean actor. However, he did dig
as his father died before the
movie cameras.
Tyrone Power II died Dec. 30,
1932, at 62, after completing a
scene in a new picture, "The
Miracle Man." ,
