"The level of taste in the Soviet
Union is at least fifty years behind
that in the United States," accord-
ing to Ernest Dichter, president
of the Institute for Motivational
Research. Dichter compares Mos-
cow to "an enormous prairie town
in the early part of this century:
vast, yet drab and primitive."
Dichter, who recently returned
from Moscow, predicts that "the
growing demands of the Russian
people for more consumer gosds
will force changes in consuming
habits and tastes." Moreover, he
said, the tremendous emphasis on
education and on culture is hound
to influence taste advantageously
in the long run."
"Today the low taste in the So-
viet Union is noticeable in archi-
tecture, in interior decorating and
home furnishing and in apparel,"
he said, "and it is reflected not
only in the displays of consumer
goods, but also in whatever ad-
vertising exists and in the picture
of Soviet life as reproduced in
magazines and works of art.
"Typical Soviet architecture is
massive and unimaginative," ac-
cording to Dichter. "The apart-
ments and public buildings con-
structed since the revolution have
none of the color and charm or
pre-revolutionary St. Basil's, for
example. The Soviets have not yet
developed an architecture of their
own which is pleasing at the same
time that it is functional.
"Interiors are still very tradi-
tional and often include gold bro-
cade curtains at the window;
heavy, dark rugs and furniture.
And an American walking along
any street in Moscow would be
shocked at the uniformly shabby
clothing worn by almost everyone
in this city of more than five mil-
lion people."
r * *
Dichter visited Moscow on a
global trip which tool him to Eu-
rope, Africa and Asia to lecture
and meet with business leaders.
In contrast to the marked in-
crease in major crimcs, the in-
cidence of homicide in the United
States has decreased in the pe-
riod since World War II. The age-
adjusted homicide rate fell about
one-fifth between 1946-47 and 1955-
56, from 6.1 to 4.8 per 100,000 of
the population.
Despite the marked increase in
juvenile delinquency in recent
years, the homicide rate at ages
15-19 decreased. Moreover, the
rate at these ages is much lower
than for most adult age groups.

From the Lincoln Times, Lin-
colnton, N. C.: The burglar's best
"helper" is his victim!
This ridiculous truism has stood
out through the years of contin-
uous burglary prevention research
conducted by Yale & Towne, the
nation's best-known lock makers.
People still leave notes to the
milkman which advise the burglar
also on the fact they will be away
from home—and for how long.
They still forget to tell the news-
boy to stop delivering the paper
while they are away, and the tell-
tale collection on the front stoop
invites the housebreaker. And
many who are hijhly conscious of
security at the front door overlook
the insecurity at the back en-
trance. Still others leave ladders
handy for second-story men.
To combat these and sundry
other human failings that have
been consistently helpful to thieves
and vandals, the inventors of the
highly frustrating pin-tumbler
cylinder lock have been publishing
for some years a "rate your-self"
checklist on security precautions
for householders. Originally a dec-
alog of protection, this now-famous
safety quiz, reflecting the rec-
ommendations of police officials
throughout the country, has added
an eleventh query:
"For your own peace of mind
and home protection," it afcKS, "do |
you have a bedroom telephone ex-
tension so you can quickly phone
your local police or fire depart-
ment in an emergency?" The win-
ning answer, of course, is "Yes."
Other questions that should be
answered affirmatively are:
"Do you avoid leaving notes tell-
ing where the house key can be
found?
"Do you have pin-tumbler cylin-
der locks on all exterior doors?
"If you lose an exterior door
key, do you have a reliable lock-
smith change the locks?
"Do you leave at least two in-
terior lights on with shades up and
Venetian blinds partially open
when you leave the house for an
evening?
"When leaving for an extended
period, do you arrange (by phone
or mail only) to have mail held
for your return, newspaper and
milk deliveries suspended; advise
police and neighbors of your sched-
uled absence?"
There are still mort, but this
gives you an idea. As for the latest
suggestion of a bedroom telephone,
this could offer protection from
the cruel world as well as from
burglars. On those days when you
wondered why you ever got out of
bed—a te'ephone at your elbow
might have permitted you to give
u^ the whole idea.
