This very hostile attitude bythe Russians was actually quitestupid, said Hoffman, as it oftenjust coalesced the free worldagainst them.

On several occasionswhen Congress was on theverge of turning down MarshallPlan appropriations, Vishinskymade fiery speeches denouncingthe Plan, thus changing senti·ment in Congress and insuringthe Marshall Plan's continua.tion.

Mr.Hoffman expressed his opinionson the present world situationand laid particular emphasis onthe importance of the new stra­tegy of the leaders of the USSR."We are now entering a muchmore dangerous phase of thecold war," he emphasized. Ac·cording to Mr. Hoffman, thenew Russian attitude representsa major change in strategy butno change in policy in theUSSR.

After 1945 Russia adopted a"bully" strategy, aggressivelyforcing Communism on othercountries whenever possible.Stalin hoped to take advantageof Europe's weakened economicposition in forcing Communism

Can we "sell" democraticideas to the Russian people? "Idon't think you can do it byradio." was Stephen Cary's an·swer. Rather than Voice ofAmerica broadcasts, interna·tional visiting "is the best hopefor developing some understand·ing of what a free society is."

These were the concluding re­marks of Mr. Cary's talk onRussia, given last Wednesdaynoon in Dabney Hall. He andfive other American Quakersvisited the Soviet Union in anattempt to understand betterthe causes of present world con·flicts and to see if the Russianpeople are beginning to resentand resist the "manipulativemethods" of their government.Their party was especially in·terested in religious liberty,education and living standards.

Richter to discussquakes in lecture

"Earthquakes, W hen andWhere" will be the SUbject ofthis week's Friday Evening De·monstration Lecture to be givenat 7:30 p.m. in room 201, Nor·man Bridge Hall of Physics.

Dr. Charles F. Richter, pro·fessor of seismology, will be thelecturer. He is noted for the de·velopment of an instrumentalmagnitude scale used to rateearthquakes, and for his studieson seismic waves and the geo·graphy of earthquakes.

Dr. Richter is co·author withDr. Beno Gutenberg, director ofthe Caltech Seismological Lab·oratory, of the book now in itssecond edition, "Seismicity ofthe Earth."

Dr. Richter received his B.A.degree from Stanford in 1920;and his Ph.D. from Caltech in1928. He received his professor·ship from the Institute in 1952.Since that time he has been ac·tive in Caltech's seismologicallab.

Skimming over an Intercolle­giate Press bulletin last month,I ran across a little item whichstrikes me as highly ironical. Inpart it ran as follows:

"\Vellesley, Mass.-Eleven·for·ty classes on Saturdays will bea thing of the past at WellesleyCollege, beginning this fall. Thisdecision to abolish the last hourof morning classes was reachedby the Academic Council afterover a year of research and dis­cussion on the problems ofweek-end cutting ...

The facultysought studfmt opinion on a mat­ter which is of concern to all ofus in the college community.'The study, begun with a statisti­cal appraisal of cutting last year.. , showed real cooperation andinterest on the part of the stu­dents."

It seems scholarly Phil Con­ley has been too busy withother pursuits to spend timepursuing dem darn damsels.Therefore, after exhausting allthe likely prospects in theSouthland, he eagerly awaitedthe arrival of his blind datefrom Phoenix for the Inter­house.

It wasonly after she appeared at 9p.m. Saturday night bright-eyedand fancy free that he realizedthe extent to which some wo­men go for a man? (The Beakmust have gotten carried away.)The crowning insult was whenhe returned to his room at 12:59and found a Frosh from anotherhouse and his female companion.They even had drunken all hispineapple juice.

He nodded his headand thought a minute then said,'That's okay, I'll marry you andthen it will be all right.'''

Behind this significant achievement lie countless en·gineering man-hours. The development of a jet-turbinepowerplant with more than 10,000 pounds of thrust,entailed far more than performance on paper. By thetime the engine was proved experimentally in 1950,Pratt & Whitney Aircraft engineers had coped withsome of the most complex problems of present-day en·gineering. Just how successfully they solved, them iswell evidenced by the widespread use of the J-57 turbo·jet in taday's military aircraft for both intercontinentaland supersonic flight.

Pratt & Whitney Aircraft J-57 TurbOjetis one of cwo versions of the - jetengines for the Boeing 707 and theDouglas DC-S. The most powerfulproduction aircraft engine in thewo.rld, it already powers America'snine most important types of mili­cary airplanes.

narrow-mindedness. The travel­ers had to check in with localofficials in each city they vis­ited to find out which farms orfactories they could see; but no­body kept tabs on them whenthey walked around in the cit­ies. They were allowed to takephotographs as long as theydidn't show any bridges or menin uniform. The soldiers, Carynoted. are not armed, a refresh­ing change after passing throughGennany.

Lower living standardRussian living standards are

much lower than ours, due inpart to the heavy emphasis onmilitary spending. The housingsituation is especially bad, be­cause of a slim steel supply andlack of a strong and well organ­ized building force. The mainproblem regarding food is oneof distribution; adequate refri­geration and transportation fa­cilities are lacking. Cheap foodis available in the State stores,mostly canned or otherwiseprocessed and not of great var­iety. Collective farms are nowallowed to market the share oftheir produce unclaimed bythe government; a variety ofgood fresh ·food is available onthis market. but it is much moreexpensive than State-marketededibles. Rent, which is well sub­sidized hy the government. isless of a problem in Russia thanis clothing. The average cityworking couple earn the ex­change equivalent of $100 to$150 a month, and one must payabout eight days' wages for apall' of shoes. In general, citypeople are adequately but notstylishly clothed.

Mr. Cary found the Russianpeople very willing to talk­both to tell about their countryand to find out about conditionshere--and they are amazinglyun-Informed about the outsideworld. The Russians are prettysatisfied with their present con­ditions, which are better thanany they have known before.This is especially true with re­gard to the two great and im­portant fidds of personal secur­ity and education.

Not much need be said aboutarbitrary arrests and the likeunder the Tsarist reign or dur­ing the periods when the Com­munist government was passingtotally into new hands. Thepresent government, which isregarded as being led by nineor ten men instead of oneLeader, has prodced a muchmore relaxed atmosphere.

this Saturday. This game should be called the IILittle Game"for a win for the Beavers is a real rarity. The last time a Techteam strolled off the field victoriously was in 1946 when theU.S. Navy in Cal tech clothing skinned the Tigers 19-6. In1945 the same thing happened twice; 19-0 and 20-0. Sincethen Tech has been on a diet which would not allow victoriesover Oxy.

Last year Oxy romped to a 39-13 score. The way things havebeen going it looks like a repeat this year. Maybe the big gameshould be changed to one with McKinley Junior High. Ohwell! The ASCIT treasury couldn/t afford to pay for the cele­bration of a victory over Oxy.

The frosh football team could have had a goad year if allthe football players in the freshman class had been out. Itseems that all Coach Priesler has heard this year is/ IIGee coach,I don/t have the time. 1I It is usually the ones that say thisthat one always bumps into in the game room or in bull ses­sions between four and six in the afternoon.

The thing that disturbedMr. Hoffman about the GAWsettlement was that it indicatedthat labor leaders do not realizethat increased wages must beaccompanied by increased pro­ductivity. "Labor leaders thinkthey can get a pay increaseevery year irrespective of in·crease in productivity," he ex­plained.

Prior to the conferencethe predominate opinion in Eu­rope was that Russia was reallystriving for peace, but that theU.S. was "dragging its feet".The Eisenhower disarmamentplan, and other U.S. proposalsat the conference, Hoffman be­lieves, changed world opinionand demonstrated that "if theworld wants peace, it must fol­low U.S. leadership, not Rus­sian."

As it turned out,on the back were the words, infine Gothic print, "He whowould steal a scrap of paperwould steal a camel," and vari­ous curses to invoke the wrathof the gods to whoever snatchedthe sign.
