The engineering mechanics head also said that, the Soviet system of incentives and a genuine desire and eagerness to learn have made the country's educational pro gram a success, HE SAID that he learned of a $70.000 grant which the Com munist government gave to a Kiev professor who had recently writ ten a book on his research en deavors. Marin said that two Soviet col leagues had told him that "they had never had it so good" while the late Premier Josef Stalin was in power.

In comparing university admin istrators in this country and in the Soviet Union, Marin said that he would prefer the Russian sys tem. He related the story of the head of Mechanics Institute of the Rus sian Academy of Sciences. This administrator is in charge of a 400-man staff and continues his research work, Marin said. When Marin asked him how he managed to accomplish both jobs, Marin said the Russian told him that he uses three days each week for his research projects. Marin also reported that the Soviet people have not gotten the benefits of Russia's progress. "It is surprising to see some of the primitive, drab and inefficient man-made surroundings in Rus sia," he said. MARIN attributed this incon sistency to the fact that "the So viet Union is concentrating most of its efforts in specific areas, such as space technology and mili tary equipment." Government at tempts to improve living condi tions are limited by its desire "to control the lives of the people," he said.
