Public Works Chief
 Holds Up Fairbanks Road Plan as Too Extravagant

JUNEAU = Commissioner of Public Works, Richard Downing, said yesterday that as a result of a public hearing held Feb. 16 in Fairbanks, he is withholding ap- proval for proposed road pro- ject between Fairbanks and Eiel- son AFB, until the design stan dards can be fully investigated.
 Downing pointed out that after Feb. Is, all Federal Aid Highway projects will be awarded in the name of the State of Alaska. He said that the majority of those present at the hearing felt there was no immediate need for a road built to the standards proposed by a consulting engineering firm.
 "We are going to review all pro- posed highway projects to be sure that we are not spending one dime more than is justified" Downing said.

There are more than 100000 public schools in the Soviet Union, with an enrolment of 30 million children. All children between the ages of ' and 16 are obliged by law to attend school. A school will be opened wherever there are children - even though there may be no more than a half dozen within the schol district area.
 Schools are to be found in the most remote parts of Russia. In the far north, beyond the Arctic Circle, for example, there are some 5000 schools for the chill dren of the Evenki, Chukchi, Es- kimo, and other peoples. Before the Revolution of 1917, these people had no schools at all; nor did they have written language. Study in Native Tongues
 There are no national or social restrictions in the Soviet schools. Children study in their native tongues. Textbooks and visual aids are prepared in 59 of the languages spoken in Russia.
 Schools are supervised by local boards of education. The curricu- lum is planned by the Ministry of Public Education of each of the Soviet Unions republics. All schools are part of the single nationwide system, and are sup ported by government funds. About 13 per cent of the entire national budget is allocated to education. In 1857 this came to 789 billion rubles approximately $20-billion).
 Since the end of World War II, new schools have been built at an extraordinarily rapid rate. From 1946 to 1855, the Soviet govern ment built 29,555 schools, to ac- commodate 5,0O6,OOO children.
 There are three types of schools. The Primary School covers Grade 1 through 4; the seven-year school, grades l through 2, and the 10-year school, grades 1 through 10.
 Special Schools
 In addition to the general schools, there are special schools for children gifted in music dancing, dramatics, and fine arts

Legislature Legalizes
 Cinema, Nenana Ice Pools

Continued from Page One) Der centered for time around 162-year-old literary effort by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rhyme of the An cient Mariner"
 Sen. Seaborn J. Buckalew Jr., an opponent of. the lottery bill, brought Coleridge's poetic efforts into the debate by warning the legislature was about to take a drastic step that would tie "an albatross around the neck of this infant state"
 Buckalew's opposition to the bill was supported by Sens. John McNees and Irwin Metcalf of Seward, who contended it might open the way to big time gam bling.
 McNees said there were no re- strictions in the bill that would prevent $1,000 card bingo games (or) parimutual dog racing"
 IL WOQlQ uO JoSC Wlldl IlllS body does not want done," Me- Nees said.
 Senate majority leader Ralph Moody, who helped write the committee substitute measure, re- piled:
 Senator McNees and Senator Buckalew have about plucked the feathers of this albatross.
 He said the measure would not tie anything about the necks of the people, but would "keep the string tied on controlling what we have had for SO years"
 Moody said the bill would per init what we have had in the past, which we all know is il- legal"
 Moody opposed suggestion by McNees that the bill be defeated and that any new legislation con- tain provisions that portions of revenue from various lotteries and rallies be turned into the state general fund.

 which combine general education with special training. There are also schools in Russia for the phys ically and mentally handicapped.
 The curriculum for the first three years includes Russian lan- guage, arithmetic, drawing, sing ing, physical culture and manual training. In the 4th grade, biolo- gy is taught, also geography and history.
 In the middle and upper grades, the subjects are grouped into the humanities, foreign language, lit erature, science and mathematics. Certain courses are required - as in the case of mathematics, which is studied in every grade. But students may choose optional practical courses designed to give them the basic elements of cer- tain special knowledge and skills. This may be some trade, stenog- raphy, typing, or domestic sciences.
 Six Days of School
 The school year in Russia begins on September l, and ends between May 20 and June 20, depending upon the grades. All children go to school six days week. A les son period is 45 minutes. The school year is divided into four quarters. Marks are given for | each quarter, on which the final marks and promotion to the upper grades are based. Children who receive unsatisfactory marks are either left to take the years work over, or given summer assign ment to do At the end of the 7th ! and 10th grades, students take final examinations. There are no such examinations in the other grades.
 Teachers in the schools of Rus sia work from lesson plans which are prepared for each period. Les son plans are altered as the work progresses. There is no rigid or 1 strict plans.
 More than 1,800,000 teachers are employed in the schools of the Soviet Union. All have had 1 special training, which they are continually improving.
 Pay Equals Engineers
 The teachers salary scale is equal to that of any skilled en- gineer Teachers have periodic in crements. A teacher with 25 years of service receives, in addition to his salary, a bonus amounting to i 40 per cent of his salary. Teachers also get two-month paid vacations. Teaching is a highly respected vocation in the Soviet, Union. More than 122,O00 teachers are deputies to the national and re- publican legislatures and the city, 1 town, and village councils. More than 270,000 teachers in Russia have been awarded medals for meritricious serice or contribu- tions to theory and practice of teaching.
 There is little doubt that Soviet progress in science, technology and arts owes much to the scope and quality of the country's edu- cational system.
 Education cannot be stationary. It must ever be receptive to the new thoughts and new approaches that new times inevitably bring. That is the main guiding prin- | o;,,lo <l,0 C0t,ia{ cohoN1c

Editor, The News:
This letter refers to the article,
"Civil Liberty = Niks Fear for
Eichmann, by Milton Friedman,
in the June 10 issue of the News.
Aside from the poor taste OF the
headline, several facts should be
made clear.
The American Civil Liberties
Union. of which the Arizona CLU
is an affiliate, has not taken any
position on the Eichmann affair,
and we do not contemplate or fore
see the necessity for taking any
position. We are an organization
interested exclusively in American
civil liberties problems; therefore,
we have no reason to comment on
such a matter of international law.
The Eichmann affair is completely
outside our sphere of interest.
IN ADDITION, Mr.. Friedman
seems confused as to the ACLU
position with regard to Lincoln
Rockwell's rights.
Over the past 40 years, the ACLU
has protected the freedom OF ex-
preston of innumerable people, re-
gardless of political hue. In all
instances we adhered to a single
standard, the same as that followed
by the US. Supreme Court: AS
long as the views expressed are
not indictments to action, they are
protected by the US. Constitution.
Scurrilous and vile as Rockwell S
views on the determination of Jews
are, his remarks have not been an
order to his followers to take overt,
illegal, immediate action.
THE IMPLICATIONS contained
in Mr.. Friedman's articles about
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1960-07-29
VOX POP

Rockwell are unfortunate, because
minority groups, so dependent on
the Bill of Rights, have particular
obligation to defend it. AS the New
York Times editorially stated, ut
is because we believe in the First
Amendment even when it hurts
that we disagree with Mayor Wag-
ner's decision yesterday to refuse
TO grant a permit to a man named
George Lincoln Rockwell, leader
of a so-called American Nazi Par
ty,' to speak in Union Square on
July A."
Unless the rights of those whose
views we detest are protected,
there can be no freedom for any
of us.
