The kindergarten chill
dren were so quiet that 1
couldn't believe it. Maybe 1t
was nice. but it Mortified me.
1t was the RECOMMENDATION
that bothered me more than
anything else in Russia"
Mrs. Orville Freeman, wife
Of the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture, made this observation
yesterday in a report on an
18-day visit to the Soviet
Union with her husband last
summer.
She observed the same
quiet a mong other age
groups, she said, and the
Russians told her they want
ed to teach their children to
live together without friction.
But she still worried about
the way the young people
were learning to accept reg
imentation.
Giving a vivid word picture
Of the trip at a Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club lunch
con, Mrs. Freeman con-
cluded from her visit that
Russians and Americans des-
perately need more education
about each other.

While the Agriculture Sec
rotary was engaged in agri-
cultural matters, his wife
maintained a separate sched-
ule, visiting schools, nurser-

apartments-"that was diff

it"-museums, libraries, pa

that she didn't see any dolls

She also was interested In

by emphasizing the impor-

Roger Staubach = Player of the Year = Rated Fantastic by Navy Coach Hardin

Despite his mere 154 pounds, Michigan States Lewis gained nearly 600 yards rushing, led the Spartans in pass receiving, punt and kickoff returns and intercep- tion runbacks.
 Parks, drafted by the San Fran cisco 49ers, is a top-flight receiver who also can run, pass and punt. The other end, Lacey, was one of the top pass catchers in the country.
 Appleton, Texas big tackle, played the weak side in the Long horns hard-running offense and was middle guard on defense. Overwhelmed by All America teammate Bobby Bell last season, Minnesota's Eller stood out on a less than sensational team.
 Brown, Nebraska's gigantic guard, also can play linebacker and defensive end. He led the Corn huskers to a surprise champion ship in the Big Eight Conference Bame worked more on offense for Southern California this year than he did one year ago when he also was acclaimed All-America.
 Butkus was the key figure in Illinois resurgence to the top ot the Big Ten Conference.

NEW YORK R - The Player of the Year in college football - quarterback Roger Staubach of Navy, leads the Associated Press All-America team. Joining Stau- bach in the backfield are Jimmy Sidle of Auburn, Sherman Lewis of Michigan State and Billy Loth ridge of Georgia Tech.
 Guard Damon Bame of South ern California, the only repeater from last years team, heads a big, agile line that averages 225 pounds per man. Bame's running mate at guard is 269-pound guard Bob Brown of Nebraska. The tackles are 235-pound Scott Apple ton of Texas top-ranked and un- defeated Longhorns, and 241- pound Carl Filler of Minnesota.
 The National Football Leagues number one draft choice, Dave Parks of Texas Tech, and Bob Lacey of North Carolina, are the ends. The center is 234-pound Dick ButkuS of Illinois.
 Staubach, a junior and winner of the Heisman Trophy, has shattered several Navy passing and total offense records in guiding the sec ond-ranked Middies to an eight and one record. Called fantastic by his coach Wes Hardin, Staubach is darting, wiggling quarterback who often improvises plays while looking for an opening. Sometimes he'll reverse his field three times before finding a target or deciding to run.
 Sidle led Auburn into the Or, ange Bowl as he ran for more thar 1000 yards and passed for more than 700.
 Lothridge, Georgia Techs do- everything quarterback, was run, ner-up in the Heisman Trophy bal loting. He passed for more thar 1000 yards, ran for more thar 200, punted and kicked field goals and extra points.
