ed by a USIA orientation session in Washington, D.C., with nearly a dozen other American linguists who speak Rumanian. His charming wife, Lilia, joined him for the trip overseas... .. The USIA project is a touring exhibition described as “an attempt to depict contemporary trends now in evidence in the diverse field of American

graphic arts.

Four categories are covered: 1. Graphic arts in communications — books, paperbacks, magazines, newspapers, posters, records and tapes, and television and motion pictures. 2. Graphic arts in industrypackaging, promotional publicity, magazine advertisements and commercial exhibitions. 3. Graphic arts in the arts and crafts—prints, glass engraving and fabrics. 4. Graphic arts workshoplive demonstrations, graphicarts library and artist at work —an illustrated story of the graphic artist and his profes-

sion.

Three graphic artists—from such occupations as typographer, printer, illustrator film maker, book and magazine designer, glass engraver, etcher, fabric designer, cartoonistwill perform various arts while the linguists explain, interpret and answer questions for Rumanian visitors. Miller, who also speaks Russian, French, Italian, German and Spanish, is a resident lecturer in Slavic languages and literatures at the Indiana University Kokomo Campus and a native of Indianapolis. He" has traveled to Russia twice—one on government appointment. He was a guide for a U.S. State Department exhibit in 1959 and as an exchange teacher of Russian last summer to Moscow University. The Russian teachers of

English attended classes at Cornell University. This might explain why he has selected Russian intonation as the topic for his dissertat tion as he works on his doctorate. Miller, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Miller and a former Recorder carrier, attended Public Schools 64 and 19 and is an honor graduate of Crispus Attacks High School. He earned his BA degree in 1952 at Butler University, majoring in French and Spanish. Following his stint at Cornell, he was stationed in Germany one year and in Austria for a year as an interpreter for the the U.S. Intelligence Service. After his return to the U.S., he earned his master’s degree in Russian from Indiana Universitv in 1958. He also knows a little Polish and Bulgarian. He teaches German and Russian languages and literatures at the Kokomo Campus. The Millers will remain in Bucharest until the latter part of December. They will visit friends in Vienna, Austria and Germany before returning to the U.S. Miller expects to resume his classes at the Kokomo Campus for the spring semester. He has been teaching at the local IU campus in Kokomo since 1960. Prior to that time, he taught one year at the IU Indianapolis Downtown Campus and a year at the Bloomington cam-

pus.

He has three sisters, Mrs. Ernest Scott, Mrs. Charles Dotson and Mrs. Ermal Franklin, and a brother, Joseph Miller, who still reside in Indianapolis.

Negro Atty. Gen. snubs Goldwater BOSTON, Mass. — Asserting that his views and those of the GOP Presidential candidate are incompatible, the nation’s highest elected Negro state official refused to introdcue Senator Barry Goldwater during a recent rally here. Edward W. Brooke, the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, turned down pleas of the Massachusetts State Republican to introduce Goldwater Sept. 24 at a rally held in Boston’s Fen-

way Park.

Brooke, a Republican is campaigning for re-election but is running independent of the Goldwater-Miller ticket. Most of the state’s other Republican candidates were in attendance. Brooke was elected to his oflice in Kennedyland, Mass., in 1962. Because of his stand, he finds himself in need of campaign funds. Contributions can be made and sent to the Brooke Election Committee at 15 Court Square, Boston, Mass.
