Prof. Describes Eight-Day Trip To Soviet Union
An associate professor of physiology at KU who spent eight days in Moscow last August said yesterday that the Russian way of life is not as depraved as Americans seem to think.
Frederick Samson spoke on "Eight Ebusy Days in Moscow" and showed picture slides to about 30 members of the Faculty Club.
PROF. SAMSON ATTENDED the 5th International Biochemistry Congress in Moscow last August. The Congress lasted seven days but Prof. Samson spent eight days in the Russian city observing the Russian way of life.
While in Moscow Prof. Samson stayed in the Ukraine Hotel, one of Moscow's most elegant hotels.
"The people were always very friendly and pleasant in the hotel," Prof. Samson said.
Prof. Samson said that from his hotel room he could look out over the city of Moscow. He pointed out and showed in the slides that the large buildings of Moscow are built different than those in America. "They are more uniform. There were no towering skyscrapers like you see in America," he said.
HE SAID THAT Moscow is currently engaged in building a new housing development. "They are building 90,000 flats a year," he explained. He described "flats" as being new apartment houses.
Prof. Samson said that one of the things that impressed him most during his stay in the Communist city was the stylish look the subways had "There is no comparison between these subways and the ones in America." he said.
PROF. SAMSON SPENT several days at the University of Moscow. He said he was surprised the way the classrooms were built. "I thought I would see a very utilitarian type of classroom, but I was surprised. The rooms had high ceilings and it was not as elegant as I expected."
Prof. Samson visited the tomb of Lenin and, at that time, Stalin. He said he was impressed by the way the bodies were so well preserved.
Prof. Samson said he spent two hours one day standing in one of Moscow's busiest squares scrutinizing the people as they walked by.
"I found that the Russian people dressed and looked much like the Americans." he stated.

"He never gave an inch," says Kennedy
Last spring, Kennedy and Krhuschev faced each other for the first time. Says the President grimly "He never gave way at all." In this week's Post, in an authoritative article based on talks with the President and his chief advisers, Stewart Alspo reports on why the meeting was so "somber." Why Kennedy feels the Reds have the "advantage of a dictatorship." And what JFK's own cold-war strategy is.
