Solid Communist Leaves U-W., With Dire Prediction

SEATTLE, R - Like many an- other college student, Oleg Sam sonov is packing his bags to go home.
 One of the few things remain ing in his dormitory room at the University of Washington is his proudly displayed picture of Laika, the Russian space dog.
 For unlike most students in American universities, Samsonov is dedicated Communist. His home is in the Soviet Union.
 Samsonov, 32, spent eight months at the university, doing graduate work in mechanical en- gineering. He plans to join the faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, where his wife teaches English.
 What is life like for a Soviet student in the classrooms and coffee houses of America?
 For Samsonov, it has been full of arguments. In the main, the arguments have been friendly But he has not yielded an inch in his advocacy of Communism.
 "Our system will eventually win," he told a newsman last week. You have tremendous re- sources in your country, but the wealth isn't being distributed as equally as in our system"
