Red School System Is Threat To Us (EDS NOTE — This is third in series of articles by James Turner, a clergyman. Mr. Turner is well qualified to talk about Russia following his recent trip there.) THE EDUCATIONAL THREAT AND CHALLENGE Russian education is not the only public education system that can lay claim to being superior to our own. French and Swedish education are generally considered better than ours. But French and Swedish education are not a threat to us, because these two countries do not use their education to support a national purpose that involves burying us. Russian education is a threat to us because theirs is a system intimately supporting the national purpose of spreading the "gospel" of Communism around the world. All Russian pupils start serious study of a foreign language in the third grade. Fifty-five per cent of them learn English. The rest are selected to become proficient in the other world languages as individual interest, talent, and national interests dictate. Soviet language training is so sweeping that Moscow can, if the occasion calls for it, produce tomorrow a skilled plumber who can speak Singhalese or Bengali. For instance, in these languages the Russians have a small army of linguists. Although almost 100,000,000 people speak these languages, our own phasis of history, languages, and the humanities has produced an American mentality incapable of grasping the sweep of the present world struggle. Dr. Ross J. Pritchard, a young college professor, uses the words "congenital superiority" in describing those who don't believe this country is in trouble. We have become a nation of sheep without a sufficient Autonetics Occupancy Completed Occupancy of the new Advanced Research Center of Autonetics; a division of North American Aviation, Inc., was completed this week, according to Dr. Robert M. Ashby, research and development vice president. Located at Anaheim Rd. and Miller St., the center is within the 140-acre east Anaheim complex which also serves as headquarters for two Autonetics product divisions — Armament and Flight Control and Computers and Data Systems.

There are signs that we are coming aware of this threat are beginning to strengthen education, somewhat. But tragic fact still remains, not yet have a national around which even improvement can organize itself.

Soviet language training is so sweeping that Moscow can, if the occasion calls for it, produce tomorrow a skilled plumber who can speak Singhalese or Bengali. For instance, in these languages the Russians have a small army of linguists. Although almost 100,000,000 people speak these languages, our own Department of State's Foreign Service does not have a single qualified person. I talked with an American intelligence officer the other day who had returned from one of the crucial Southeast Asia countries Communists. He predicted their fall before the year is out. Here is the reason: The Russians have 250 technicians (Missionaries) in this particular country. They are living with the people and working with them. Local Dialect Every last one of them can speak the local dialect fluently and is familiar with the local history. The Americans have a dozen technicians there. They are housed in the best hotel, aren't sure why they are there, can't speak the local language, go to Hong Kong on weekends, and can't wait to get home to their families. This same story could be repeated for every country in Africa, Latin America, and South America. This is just one of many ways that Russian education supports their national purpose. Of course, we could go into their technological and scientific advances and show how the intense and disciplined education has made this possible. One of the reasons for our own relative decline is an inferior educational system. Our young people are being cheated out of the tools without which our national survival will be impossible. Our schools, for the most part, have fostered a laziness and aloofness that is shocking to the serious citizen. Our education has produced compounded illiteracy in culture and the roots of our great heritage. Our de-em- Rousselot To Be Young Republican Club Speaker Rep. John H.

"SINCE 1922" Lack of Master Plan Criticized Lack of a city master plan been criticized before the heim Planning Commission. Joe R. White, 611 W. Bridgway, during a hearing on pro-plan for eventual development and area on W. Broadway at Chestnut, spared few city polls as he aired alleged shortcomings in the city's zoning procedure. His remarks brought Commissioner Cal Pebley to reason city does need a master plan. Pebley admitted there appear to be some inconsistencies in way the commission allow commercial development. White's main complaint is the property in the Broadway Harbor area could be properly zoned "if some officials could cide where they're going to the new city hall." He was referring to Chu Chandler, who was sitting in back of the chambers and other members of the city council. System Us breadth of knowledge and insight to serve as a foundation for responsible and intelligent action. Note how the masses have hailed the welfare state because they cannot foresee the consequences and are unaware of what a departure it is from the political philosophy which has made this country great. The people have been blinded by unscrupulous politicians who have promised that we can work less and have more. Education has become the major Soviet weapon in the cold war. The average Russian high school student knows more American history than the average American high school student! There are signs that we are becoming aware of this threat and are beginning to strengthen our education, somewhat. But the tragic fact still remains, we do not yet have a national purpose around which even improved education can organize itself. As the fact that Russian education is better than our own began to leak through during the past two or three years, many Americans were shocked, others were indignant, others were challenged. The fact that the Russians accomplish in about sixteen years what it takes us a good twenty to do is a challenge. Their massive effort in languages is a challenge. The fact that they threw out progressive education twenty-five years ago is a challenge. The fact that there are high schools. Men in Service Richard R. Celestino, seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Marcotte of 801 N. Loara St., Anaheim is serving in the Western Pacific aboard the Seventh Fleet ammunition ship USS Pyro. The Pyro recently visited Subic Bay, Philippines. Army National Guard 1st Lt. Donald E. S. Merritt, 25, whose wife, LeDema, and parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar H. Merritt, live at 1620 E. Sycamore St. Anaheim, completed the 40-week officer fixed wing aviator course at The Aviation School, Fort Rucker, Ala., Oct. 24. Lietuanant Merritt received instruction in contact and instrument flying techniques and the tactical employment of Army observation and utility fixed wing aircraft. He was also trained in Army aviation support of ground combat operations. Merritt is an aviator in the 140th Aviation Company of the 40th Armored Division, an Army National Guard unit, in Oxnard. A 1955 graduate of Anaheim Vocational High School and a former student at Chapman College in Orange, he is regularly employed as a department manager with the J. C. Penney Co. in Fullerton. Army Specialist Four Jack T. Shull, whose wife, Carolyn, lives at 879 S. Olive St., Anaheim, arrived on Okinawa Oct. 16 and is now a member of the 503d Infantry Combat Team. Specialist Shull, a mechanic in the team's Support Company, entered the Army in May 1958. The 26-year-old soldier, son of Orman D. Shull, 504 S. West St., Lebanon, Ind., attended Lebanon High School. James H. Proxmire, seaman apprentice, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond C. Proxmire of 856 S. Los Angeles, Anaheim, is serving in the Far East at the Naval Air Station, Asuigi, Japan. The Atsugi installation, located just west of metropolitan Yokohama and Tokyo, provides support facilities for aircraft squadrons operating in the Western Pacific with the Seventh Fleet. Army PFC William F. Stephens, son of Mrs. Corrinn Harder, Midlothian, Tex., recently participated with other personnel from the 1st Division's 7th Cavalry in Trooper Turnout III, a field training exercise in Korea. The exercise, conducted under realistic combat conditions, was designed to test the division's combat readiness and efficiency. During the exercise Stephens and other members of his unit conducted coordinated tank-infantry attacks under helicopter envelopment and culminated the maneuver with a massive river crossing to assault active aggressor positions. Stephens, an automatic rifle man in the cavalry's Company E, entered the Army in October 1960, received basic training at Fort Hood, Tex., and arrived overseas last May. The 19-year-old soldier, son Paul J. Stephens, 11860 Moen E Anaheim, attended Brownwood (Tex.) High School. gan to leak through during the past two or three years, many Americans were shocked, others were indignant, others were challenged. The fact that the Russians accomplish in about sixteen years what it takes us a good twenty to do is a challenge. Their massive effort in languages is a challenge. The fact that they threw out progressive education twenty-five years ago is a challenge. The fact that there are high schools in many of the cities where English is the exclusive language spoken in all subjects should challenge us. The threat and challenge of our enemy in this area should galvanize us to demand discipline and excellence in our public education. This is no time for laxity and lethargy — rather, it is a time for dedicated study "to show ourselves approved, a workman that need not be ashamed." Education is perhaps the most important weapon in this war. What are you doing about it in your town? How does your local school system meet the challenge? Navy Rescues Anaheim Man An Anaheim man was rescued at sea by a Naval mine sweeper. Ed Boyle of 9532 Stoneybrook, and three unidentified male adults were brought abroad the Navy minesweeper Conflict late Tuesday afternoon. The Conflict made the rescue ½ miles off Long Beach where the minesweeper was making a formal mine warfare training cruise. Lt. Commander R. J. Ragland of Lakewood reported the small craft was sited and was obviously in distress. An investigation by the minesweeper revealed an engine failure. The sea was calm but visibility was limited because of smoke in the air. Boyle's boat was towed into Long Beach harbor. The passengers were turned over to the Coast Guard.

Store Woolworth Store MEMBER: FEDERAL SAVINGS Men With Old Cars, Model Trains 'Seeking Security' There's not much difference psychologically between the comfort of a child gets from carrying around his favorite blanket and the satisfaction a man achieves from playing around with an ankle auto. Both, in the studied opinion of psychologist Chaytor Mason of the University of Southern California, are a search for ideal life fulfillment. The blanket is necessary to the child, often long after presumed to have "outworn" it, Mason says. And, particularly in these uncertain times, the antique car may be as necessary to the man. The man who spends his spare time restoring a Model-A rumble-street roadster is turning away from the pressures of the present fear of the future for a ride from a pleasant past he now or wished for in boyhood," says Psychologist Mason. "The parallel between man and car, old and blanket, is strongly evi- ntitious. Stephens, an automatic rifleman in the cavalry's Company entered the Army in October 1900, received basic training at St Hood, Tex., and arrived overseas last May. The 19-year-old soldier, son of Col J. Stephens, 11860 Moen st., Rheim, attended Brownwood (x.) High School. Antique car lovers aren't the only ones who fit into this framework, attests the USC psychologist. So do Civil war buffs, model train builders and people who collect old telephones. "Even the violent glories of the American Civil war can be more of comfort than contemplating the destruction of a 50-megaton K-bomb," according to Psychologist Mason. "This probing into the past isn't just an academic fascination with history. And the rather remarkable and significant thing is that men are the chief probs. Although women long have had an interest in antiques, never before in American history have been turned en masse toward the past while making such a big noise about the future," says Mason. "We didn't see this thing generally after the Civil war, or even after World War I. But it began to evidence itself strongly in the days following World War II. It's a kind of a sad desperation, when you consider it closely." The USC psychologist admits his own interest in the past. He puts buildings he knew as a boy into the model train layouts he now builds. Some of them are big buildings, like hotels and office buildings he remembers. Others are houses, or the corner grocery or drug store. Means to End Leisure time and a general affluence have helped adults "play with the past", says the USC faculty member. "But these things are merely a means to an end. They are not the cause of this phenomenon. "The reason an astro-scientist collects old circus posters and a banker suddenly blossoms as an authority on American railroad-ing is because they're pressured by the present and fearful of the futu.e. "Sooner or later they find that they must get off the whirling merry-go-round and plant their feet — if only momentarily — on ground with which they are thoroughly familiar.
