Lock Haven Express, and Eugene
Simon of the Tarentum Valley
News, describe their impressions
of Moscow people, amusements,
structures, and life.
The editors' tour included show
places such as the new 38-story
University of Moscow, the Mos
!cow collective farm, and the sub
way. Miss Gross described the
Moscow subway as an architec
tural propaganda structure decor
ated with works of art used to
sell patriotism much the same way
as subway advertising is used to
sell soap in this country. She said
some of the Russians believe their
subway is the only one in the
world.
The editors attended a Russian
Orthodox church serv i c e and
found that, as they expected, the
majority of worshippers were in
the old age group, but that about
60 per cent of the members of the
two choirs were. under 30.
Their Russian guides explained
away the large crowds at the
church as curiosity seekers, but
the editor noticed that the "curi
osity seekers" were taking part
in the service.
Of 1300 Orthodox churches in
Moscow, the editors were told
only 30 remained.. Many of them
had been. converted into movie
theaters, museums, and residences.
Mrs. Mailvaine described the
Moscow students " as apparently
dedicated to their studies. She
said there was no laughter or
noise when classes passed. Rus
sian students have ten years of
middle or high school education
and five years of college training.
Simon said that 96 per cent of
the university students were in
school on scholarships.

a pardon for William N. Oatis,
the Associated Riess corre
spondent from Indiana who was
imprisoned in Prague two years
ago on charges of spying.
A dramatic letter from Mrs.
Oatis - played a part in the de
cision of the Czechoslovak gov
ernment to free the newspaper
man, whose arrest has been de
npunced by the U.S. State De
partment as a travesty, of jus
tice.
"The announcement of the de

By The Associated Press
Tickets taken at individual
boths are being tabulated, and
totals will
.be announced in the
Daily Collegian Tuesday, Miss
Lee said. At this time total points
from all Spring Week events will

Spring Week trophies last year.
More carnival tickets were sold
Thursday night, despite the rain
which threatened to dampen ac
tivities. Some booths closed early
because• of the showers:
Spring Week points were given
for the Ugly Man contest spon
sored by Alpha Phi Omega, the
Miss Penn State contest, carnival
parade, Mad Hatter's and He-
Man-- contests, and the carnival
booths.. One point is given for
each ticket taken in at booths.
Forty-four booths sponsored by
66 organizations were entered in
the carnival. Six booths had
dropped out at the beginning of
the event. The Penn State Players
and Radio Guild' booth was closed
Wednesday night after alcoholic
beverages were found in the pos
session of six students.
Booths were warned Thursday
by the Spring Week Committee
to use good taste in barking and
acts. Some adverse criticism of
Wednesday's shows - had been re
ported. Miss Lee said she believed
the warning was heeded.

Bradley Predicts
Indefinite Spending
WASHINGTON, May 15 (2P)—
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, warning
that Russia's atomic strength is
growing rapidly, estimated today
that the United States must spend
at least $3 billion dollars a month
on defense "as far into the future
as we can possibly see."
Bradley, who is retiring this
summer as chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff in a move by Pres
ident Eisenhower to install a new
team in the top military com
mand, cautioned against putting
"economy ahead of security."
But the general emphasized in
-a speech to the Women's National
Press Club, that 'he was not' re
ferring to the Eisenhower admin
istration's current budget-cutting
moves.
"What I want to discuss," he
said, "is the long range cost of
keeping the peace so long as mil
itary power is needed to keep it."
1 At present, he said, the nation
is spending about $4 billion a
month in rebuilding its armed!
strength.
Booth Closed
On Own Initiative,
Groups Claim
Players and Radio Guild de
cided Wednesday night to close
their booth at the spring carnival
before the administration moved
to close it Thursday morning, a
member of the radio guild said
yesterday.
No booths were closed Thurs
day night, contrary to rumor,
Joan Lee, Spring Week committee
chairman, said yesterday.
Dean of Men Frank X.
Simes said the closed booth was
permitted to continue operation
Wednesday night after six stu
dents were caught with alcoholic
beverages in their posession at
the booth. He said action on clos
ing the booth was taken after he
conferred with Director of Student
Affairs Wilmer E. Kenworthy
Thursday morning.
It is believed by Miss Lee and
Simes that this is the first time
a booth has been closed in the
five year history of the Spring
Week carnival.
The names of six students, in
cluding two women, have been
sent to. the Dean of Men, Dean of
Women, and Dean of the Grad
uate School for discipline. The
group violated a College rule that
forbids the possession of alco
holic beverages on the campus,
Simes said.
The Players-Radio Guild show
Was poor and members of the
booth's cast lost interest after
Simes had discovered the stu
dents with the alcohol, the guild
member said. The group didn't
have enough talent to start with,
the member added.
Miss Lee said Simes warned her
of his discovery, and she and
Joseph Haines, chairman of the
booth committee, proceeded to
warn all the booths to get rid of
any alcoholic beverages they
might possess. She said there was
no drinking Thursday night.
Simes said yesterday that the
Players-Radio Guild claim about
closing their booth was only ra-r
tionalization on' their part.
Symphony to Present
Concert Tomorrow
The College Symphony Orches
tra, conducted by Theodore K.
Karhan, associate professor of
music, will present its annual
spring concert 3 p.m. tomorrow in
Schwab Auditorium.
The , group will present the
works of Leoncavallo, Bizet,
Grieg, Kodaly, Coates, and Rim
sky-Korsakov.
SeniOr Lion Coat
Sale Discontinued
Because pushing the sale of
Lion coats to seniors is like
"beating a dead horse," George
Donovan, director of student
activities, claims that the coats
will not be sold this year:
Sales of the traditional mus
lin jackets which could be dec
orated by graduating seniors
have been dropping for the
last few years. Last year only
54 coats were sold. With such
indifference, the sale of Lion
coats can hardly be called
"Penn State tradition," Dono
van said.
