Youth Belie\ res Iron Curtain Is European Myth Arno Preller, German Stinlent, Speaks To PTA At Nyssa Arno Preller, a former German student now studying at Reed col lege in Portland, told an audience of P. T. A. members at the regular meeting of the organization in the high school auditorium last Thurs day night that “ I don't believe there is such a thing as an iron curtain", referring to the Russian cloak of secrecy that is supposed to extend around Russia and her satellites. "If there were an iron curtain you could get nothing from the other side and I have seen things be hind it. There is more talk of war in this country than in Europe. If there is going to be a war between Russia and the United States it will be fought on the deserts of Siberia and the Oregon territory” . Following a ripple of laughter. Mr. Preller said "It is not going to be funny because of the short dist ances existing today”. Preller, who was sent to a forced labor camp by the nazis for. a "stretch” of two years, said he studied conditions in eastern Ger many, now occupied by Russian troops, and in Czechoslovakia as a newspaperman. He said that on one occasion he went to a picture show in which Russia propaganda was featured. Almost all of the Ger mans ridiculed the show. Using excellent English, Preller said "Communist propaganda is childish. Its weak points are easily discernable. I am convinced that communism does not have a chance to succeed, especially in eastern Germany (where Preller's parents live). The Russians have introduc ed communism is such a stupid way. They are using the same methods used by the nazis. However, the situation in eastern Germany is tense, with the people living in fear. The Russians are dismantallng fac tories and Germans are disappear ing. Speaking of the "Voice of Ameri ca” radio broadcast to Russia, Prel ler said he thought "it would not get through, but at certain hours of the day the streets are vacant because the people are at home (Continued on Page 8) Final Drawing Set For Dee. 3 The Nyssa high school basket ball schedule, starting December 3, was announced today by school of ficials.

His recommenda tion would apply to all cities, not just to Nyssa. In the final analysis, juvenile de linquency Is a home responsibility, Mr Skousen said. He pointed out definite ways in which families could prevent juvenile delinquency- have a family night and have a council within the home In which children and parents could talk over their problems, instead of the parents attempting to dictate, or, In other words, have a practical democracy. Mr. Skousen made a strong plea for church attendance by the child ren, accompanied by their parents.
