Soviets Can't Control Sex Drives

MOSCOW—Despite the official ban on skin flicks, flesh magazines and pornographic books, the Soviet Union is controlling the sexual drives of its young people.
The official Kremlin policy proclaims near-Victorian prudency in public, but the natural life system of the Soviet youth includes a attitude toward sex that surprises foreigners.
while Americans worry about their children see an explicit, X-rated movie or reading one of the new, liberal sex manuals, Russian parents become concerned if their children read the p耻肛 Gay Guy Demassant or Alexander I. Kougin.

schoolteacher said recently, "I have repeatedly warned of the danger of sex, but nobody paid attention. I must note this by all means," she told a major hospital.
"SEX is an element of human culture," a medical worker added. "The fact that we pay very little attention to it the result of innocence and even narrow-mindedness."
Although public discussion of sex is rare in the Soviet Union, there have been some recent articles in the official press calling attention to the problem of a large number of unwanted pregnancies, one of the world's highest abortion rates, a society with low birth rates and other social maladjustments which reflect the country's failure to educate young people about sex.
A well-known educator who 10 years ago warned of the dangers that could come from
PART OF the blame is laid to the cultural dictators of the Stalinist era who banned the teachings of Sigmund Freud from Soviet science and some goes to Communist who associated sexual excesses with all the other depressions of life under capitalism.

the lack of practical sexual education warned recently that the Soviet Union has produced an ambivalent attitude toward the subject—that young people are either considered sexual babies in the woods or sexual maniacs.
President," Meany said in a statement released yesterday.

A female analyst noticed that Russian girls are abandoning their usual high-pitched manner of speaking in favor of more subtle gestures, themselves up emphasizing bold eye coloring to look seductive as a "smashing superwoman, courageous and capable of despising old conventions and conforming to modern norms" in modern modern ones. "Larix Kuznetsova said."
The White House immediately called Meany's charge about Nixon "incredible, inexcusable and irresponsible" and said Nixon's health was excellent.
Even though Sirica will get the tapes, it seemed apparent that it would be months until the public found out what was on them—if the public found out at all. Sirica will listen to the tapes alone and secretly. If he deems any material on them to be evidence needed by the Watergate grand jury, he will give the panel that material.
In an interview, Sirica said he was very happy with Nikon's decision to turn over the camera.
The event of Tuesday to which Meany referred was Nixon's promise of compliance with the court order that he turn over the subpoenaed tapes and documents for review in his chambers by U.S. Dist. Court Judge John Sirica.
But because grand jury evidence also is secret, the contents of the tapes may never be disclosed.
ALTHOUGH NIGON XIN'S attorney, Charles Alan Wright, told Sirica the material would be transmitted as soon as possible, it appears that he reached the judge by yesterday afternoon.
"It is a known fact that the sphere of sexual manifestations was considered for along time as belonging to Freudianism." Alexander Petrovsky, a petrology educator, wrote in Literaturnaya Gazeta, the writers' union weekly.

Despite many stories of unwanted pregnancies, legal and illegal abortions and other personal tragedies, there is still a gap in the number of youngsters to channel their sexual drives.

IN OTHER Watergate-related developments;
The president of the American Bar Association, Chesterfield Smith, said the American people wouldn't believe that justice was being done "until we can get someone who will bore in until the bitter end. On the one hand, the bar named as the new special prosecutor must be "absolutely independent" of the President.
"The man who now runs the Watergate investigation, Asst. Atty, Gen. Henry Petersen, said Nixon's turnabout on the tape issue in the face of impeachment meant the Watergate prosecutors might later access to vital White House records.
"The events are reassuring," Petersen said. "It's crystal clear we want these cases to proceed with dispatch and integrity. Beyond that, I can't say."
-Sen. Sam Ervin Jr., D-N.C., chairman of the Senate Watergate committee, canceled an emergency meeting of the committee scheduled for this morning. A spokeswoman simply executive session was no longer necessary, and that the committee would reconvene next Tuesday as originally planned.
"WHAT CAN WE, the teachers, explain to them," a school director asked. "we are ourselves ignorant of these questions. We were brought up with the notion that all that is of no importance... some knowledge can be harmful before a certain age."
Petrovsky criticized several recent Soviet books on sex, including one which advised parents to "hint" to their early teenage years in the case of venereal disease, pregnancy or sterility.
Cease-Fire . . .
From Page 1
Israeli military spokesmen said their tanks had clashed in daylight with Egyptian armor and warplanes at the southern end of the Suez front in a try at the Cairo to rescue Egyptian soldiers cut off in the Sinai Desert by an Israeli pincher maneuver.
THE TEL AVIV command first issued a communique accusing Egypt of a massive ground and air attack near Suez city at the southern end of the canal about seven hours after the second cease-fire took effect at 7 a.m.
But the Israeli briefer, Col. Machman Karni, claimed the Egyptian attack had been repulsed and the Egyptian Third Army ranged on the canal, of the canal, ringed in by Israel steel.
"The study of sex development in children and youth was stopped and teachers were disoriented by the myth of the sexually faultless child. The problems connected with children's sexuality were placed between a distorted notion of an eroticism child and bigoted views of the child as a natural creature."
But then in an evening briefing, Karni
SOCIOLOGICAL studies have shown that the overwhelming majority of young Russians learn about sex from their friends and only a small portion from their parents. This is because they are in attitudes between rural dwellers, where social pressures against premarital sex are
"One can hardly think of a more tactile intrusion into the world of a 12 or 13-year-old girl's intimate feelings than a hint that it wouldn't be bad to ask for a medical certificate from the boy she loves," Petrovsky said.

The State Department said in Washington that the United States was ready to discuss with the Soviet Union a mutual reduction in their massive airlifts.
The renewed battles yesterday generated fears earlier that the second truce might collapse in blood and gunmoke like a night gale cease-fire that was never observed.
Dogfights raged over the canal only after U.N. observers left Cairo and Tel Aviv to take up their monitoring posts, spokesman reported.

Stoneback said the public had given Nixon enough chances and should insist that he resign.
"I think we should impeach Nixon and give a new president that the people will have confidence in," he said. "We a cattleman, and I brand my cattle. Webrand them when the iron is hot, and that's what we should do with Nixon."
Don Brownstein, assistant professor of philosophy, said that Nixon lacked a fundamental respect for justice and that Nixon's release of recordings of disputed phone conversations to Judge John Siriair the investigation that Nixon should be impeached.
"Nixon's turning the tapes over to Siria under the circumstances confirms the judgment that there's something wrong with the system, which he be taken out of office." Brownstein said.
The Rev. Arden Dorn, pastor of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, read a statement by several Lawrence clergymen uring Nixon to repent.
THE STATEMENT said, "We call upon
them to repent and acknowledge his
wrongs if they do."
He expressed concern that the tapes of Nixon's conversations with aide John Dean might be too ambiguous to either clear or implicate Nixon.
Dorn said that most people idealized and idolized the President and that he should be thought of as an elected official, not as a god.
Grant said that in creating the so-called plumbers' investigative unit and sending troops into Cambodia, Nixon may have concludes that wounds that would be cause for impairment.
When the President refused to release the Watergate tape he attempted to obstruct justice, which would be grounds for imprisonment. The defense contended that associate professor of Constitutional law,
"IF THE tapes are ambiguous, that would be grounds for the House of Representatives to continue with an impeachment inquiry," he said.
Grant said the fundamental question concerning impeachment was whether the President could get away with an attempt to overthrow a president, a special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, was an officer of the courts as well as a staff member of the Justice Department and that in firing Cox, Nixon might have "corruptly disgraced" the justice, the legal definition of obstruction.
The discussion was moderated by Charles Oldfather, University attorney.
