—The New Russia--No. 4 FIVE-YEAR PLAN IS PRIDE EVEN TO YOUNGSTERS State Pays Attention to Its Children, the Nation’s Future. Hfre i* the fourth of twelve article* try Julia Rlanxhard. staff writer, whom NEA •nd The Time* *er>t to Soviet Russia to *et the story of a irrople, not the atorv of a cause. BY JULIA BLAXSHARD, Staff Writer for NEA Service and The Times. (Copyright, 1931. NEA Bervice. Inc.) Youth is one of the first concerns Os Soviet Russia. You, as an elder, might live on cabbage soup, but your child, or children, would have meat stews and even sweets. Russia looks to the future, not the past. From the moment little Ivan is born and registered at Zags, state bureau for vital statistics, the Soviet state concerns itself with his health. It suggests his diet, inquires about his surroundings, care and ‘‘cultural life,” peers up his nose for adenoids and down his throat for tonsils. Enthusiastic Communist parents give their children names that have meaning in the new order. In the apartment house where I lived in Moscow, a baby girl had the name of Electrifikatsa (meaning electrification, a part of the Five-Year Plan). Mai and Maya, from the revolutionary month of May, and Kim, a contraction from the youth organization, Komsomole, International, abound. In a single grade of school I found three Ninels, a name arrived at by spoiling Lenin backwards. In South Russia the journalist, William Henry Chamberlain, saw a roly-poly baby girl named Diamata, short for Dialectic Materialism! Young Govern Selves Even little first graders in Russia have their self-governing little Soviets. I visited a grade at Rostov, composed of shaved-headed little tads in home-made washable suits and bobbed haired little girls in dresses or calico aprons, and found their Soviet checking up to see which boys and girls had and which had not enforced in their own homes the school’s ‘‘sanitary minimum.” This consisted of daily washing the face, neck and ears, hands and teeth, changing all his clothes for clean ones when he had his bath, undressing when he goes to bed and hanging up his clothes to air, and taking part, along with his mother, in trying to rid the home of flies, roaches and bedbugs. Built Own Macadam Road Outside Moscow, on the road to Leningrad, the traditional cobblestone country road is broken for about 300 meters by a smooth macadam road which is a children’s colony, built by themselves a year or so ago. with no help from adults. Down in the Ukraine, little 12-year-old, tow-headed, barefooted Vanya, escorted us with pride over a brand new orchard of tiny apple trees that he and his schoolmates on the co-operative farm planted because the nation needed more apples. Your child in Russia would take his beliefs very seriously. Neighborhood groups often haze a newcomer. “Where is your forehead?” one of the group will ask the new child. He indicates it. “Where is your stomach?” he points to it. “Where is your right shoulder?” He puts his finger on it. “Where is your left shoulder?”
Reaction is Tip-Off As he reaches over to identify this last, the taunter will point his finger at him and cry aloud. “Oh, lookey, he crosses himself, he believes in God!” The manner in which your child reacts to this would have much to do with his immediate acceptance as one of the group. One day I visited the Moscow public school where Stalin’s 9-year-old son attends the third grade. The principal, dignified despite his shaved head, patched shoes and worn graj suit, said they never pointed out the child. "Special attention is likely to develop self-consciousness or even self-importance,” was his explanation. The children looked clean, wellnourished, neatly dressed and alert. Most of the boys had shaved heads and had Russian blouses outside their trousers. The girls wore washable dresses, or colored blouses over dark skirts. Everyone Is Busy The sixth grade was without a teacher, but every one was busily working. Each room had a project around which all the subjects centered. This room's projects was a nearby rayon mill, an eager-faced little tow-head explained. Arithmetic was the cost of production. Every school is connected with some factory, mill, farm or other economically productive unit. Each child in Russia is taking some small part in the Five-Year Thin, knows it and is proud of it. No room paid much attention to us as we looked in on them. There was no strained respect shown the principal. The children, governing their own rooms and actions, not only feel free to criticise their elders as well as their roommates, but are encouraged to do so. Literacy for All I saw no truant children wandering Moscow streets as there used to be. Delinquency is not a problem. I was told. Education is compulsory for all °hildren in Russia between the ages of 7 and 14. No boy or girl can get a job until he has had seven years schooling. Literacy, only 24 per cent for all of Russia under the czar, now is claimed to have reached the level of 84.5. The Five-Year Plan includes a statement that by 1933 every one of Russia’s 176,000,000 shall be literate! NEXT; Housekeeping in Soviet Russia. . . . Waiting in line for food, cooking on an apartment’s community range or on a small kerosene stove. . . . What it costs to live and where the money goes.

FRANCE BEGINS WAR ON CORSICAN BANDITS 600 Police and Troops Strike at Reign of Terrorism. AJACCIO, Corsica, Nov. 9. France has begun its war on the bandits of Corsica, with 600 police xnd troops from Marseilles scheduled to establish a battle line in the mountain wilderness before dusk. The troops were supported by ten armored cars and two warships. The bandits, estimated at more than 700, live in the hills as their fathers have lived for centuries, terrorizing travelers and levying tribute on farmers and storekeepers. They fight blood feuds among themselves. Mounted and foot police will cooperate in a thorough search of the island. They expect serious fighting in many mountain passes. Three of the most notorious bandit leaders have been killed in the last week. G. 0. P. MOVES BLOCKED “Gerrymander” Plans in New York State Declared Illegal. By United Pres* ALBANY, N.
