TREAT FROM WITHIN:
Prussion Views Subversion
^.
By JOHN WEILERf
The threat of Communism from
hout exists only because the
eat from within made it pos-
te," Karl Prussion, former Fed-
I Bureau ofuInvestigation un-
cover agent, said yesterday.
russion told the University
Lpter of the Young Americans
Freedom that in his 26 years
h the Communists he saw them
deceit and legal or illegal
ans in attempting to achieve
ir goals.

He explained that each member
was prepared to make any sac-
rifice necessary to carry out the
party's mandate.
Prussion claimed that the civil
rights actions in the South in
many cases have been incited by
Communists. The Communists
have for many years infiltrated
organizations and caused them to
become violent, Prussion said, add-
ing that when police have had to
intervene the Communists have
blamed the police for brutality.
45,000 Communists
Prussian claimed that although
there are only 15,000 registered
members of the Communist Party,
in reality there are some 45,000
Communists in the United States
right now.
These people are not new mem-
bers of the party but have in many
cases been active for 20-30 years,
he said. Their identities are hidden
and they are rigidly controlled to
work for Communist goals, Prus-
sion added. He claimed that these
people are leaders in the nation
today and that for this reason
their power should not be under-
estimated.
He said that there are 30,000
more members than are registered
because a certain number have
withdrawn from recognition when
the Smith Act was passed and
another large group have never
been cell members.
Knew of Castro
Prussion said he knew as early
as 1950 that Cuban Premier Fidel
Castro was a Communist, when
the party set up an office in New
York. Through cell contacts, the
party was able to build a very
favorable image of Castro in the
United States, he said. When Cas-
tro did announcehe was a Com-
munist, this image had already
been established.
As another example of alleged
Communist methods here, Prus-
sion said that when Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev visited the
United States, the American press
reported that the people of this
country were very glad to wel-
come the leader of the Soviet
Union.
The Communists were told to
appear each time Khrushchev was
in public, to give the press the
idea that the people of the United
States were for him, Prussion said.
Prussion also spoke about the
time when he was "brought to

... the threat without
the surface" in 1959. He appeared
before the House Committee on
Un-American Activities when sub-
poenaed.
Prussion described the actions
he saw in the hearing as greatly
Communistic inspired. Spectators
antagonized the police to such an
extent that they were forced to
come in and drag the unruly in-
dividuals out of the court, he said.
This committee, "the most im-
portant committee of the House
and doing one of the most impor-
tant political jobs in America to-
day," should be respected, rather
than treated in such a manner,
Prussion concluded.
Cites Increases
In Legal Action
The current boom in antitrust
action will continue, Prof. S.
Chesterfield Oppenheim of the
Law School said yesterday.
However, Prof. Oppenheim
warned that "efforts to attack big
business just because it is big may
well boomerang on the instiga-
tors."
"Americans realize this and
their distrust of concentrated eco-
nomic power is overborne by their
recognition of the beneficial re-
sults of big enterprises," he added.
"Still, there are many who would
increase the scope of antitrust
legislation beyond its present
boundaries which are aimed at
curbing such abuses as agreements
among competitors for price fix-
ing, the division of markets and
boycotting," Prof. Oppenheim said.
Some economists urge the curb-
ing of the growing oligopolies in
American business, Prof. Oppen-
heim commented.
These economists advocate harsh
means of dismantling oligopolies
when there is proof of what they
call "unreasonable market power,"
he said.
"However, statutory limits on
business size or market shares
would substitute governmental
economic planning and affirmative
regulation for private managerial
decision-making," he said.
"But the informed citizenry still
regard bigness as essential a part
of our economy as antitrust policy
itself," Prof. Oppenheim said.
Census Tells
Of Religion
On Campus
By THOMAS COPI
The religious census taken by
the Office of Religious Affairs
during registration shows that
11,379 persons out of 23,955 people
who were included in the census
had no religious preference.
"Most of the people who said
no preference,' simply left the
question blank," C. Gray Austin,
assistant co-ordinator of religious
affairs at the University, said yes-
terday.
The number of 11,379 represents
nearly half of the 23,955 people
who were included in the census.
Although this number is slightly
higher than in previous years, it
is comparable.
Austin said that "We assume
when the people leave the religious
preference question blank, they
mean no preference. However," he
added, "the people may actually
have some preference but just
don't list it. You can read into
this almost anything you want."
The number of "no preferences"
casts some doubt onto the ac-
curacy of the religious census, and
Austin said that "the census is
never very accurate."
Many people list "no preference"
because they don't want to be
bothered by religious organizations
on campus, and others because
they feel that they may be dis-
criminated against because of
their religion if they do put their
actual preference down..
There are also those who are
simply against putting their re-
ligious preference down anywhere
if they don't know how the in-
formation will be used. Also, if a
person is rushing through regis-
tration, he usually leaves every-
thing blank that he doesn't have
to fill out in order to save time.
Actually, the census is taken
for statistical purposes only, and
Austin says, "This is just one of
the kinds of records the University
keeps . . . one of the bits of in-
formation they have on hand."
Under "Other Religious Groups"
the census listed those such as
Deist, Humanist, Jehovah's Wit-
ness, Jain and Sikh. The "others"
numbered 169.

Statistics Show Increases
In Class Size Significant
(Continued from Page 1)
more, 28.70; junior and senior,
23.55; graduate (MA), 12.52.
Another almost universal trend
is that thesmallest classes, on
the average, are taught by profes-
sors and the largest by instruc-
tors and teaching fellows. This
trend is not surprising, since pro-
fessors tend to teach the more ad-
yanced courses and the larger
lecture courses are handled by
teaching fellows and instructors.
Illustrating this trend, the fall
1962-63 figures for average class
sizes taught by professors was
17.41, while the figures for in-
structors and teaching fellows were
21.94 and 21.29, respectively.
Overall Figure
The average class size for all
ranks of faculty was 19.15.
Class size also varies widely
among the schools and colleges.
The report says that this is "neith-
er unexpected nor undesirable."
Since different types of subject
matter require different types of
teaching methods, it is easy to see
how this diversity might come
about.
Changes in teaching methods
had a very great effect upon the
average class size.
Law School Case
The report cites an example in
the Law School where in 1961-62
a particular one hour course in
problems and research was taught
as a single hour of private con-
sultation each week. Each con-

Bonding Vote
For Schools
The Ann Arbor Board of Educa-
tion has indicated that it will
press for a vote to obtain further
bonding authority before the end
of the year.
This will be necessary if Ann
Arbor's school district is to have
the bonds for continued projects
this year.
At its last meeting, the Board
of Education repeated that it
"cannot afford to ignore the need
for additional facilities in the
school system if it, hopes to keep
up with the community's expand-
ing studentpopulation."
A bond issue now is necessary
because of the defeat, last May, of
a $6 million bond issue. The pro-
posed new bond issue is estimated
to be in the range of $2.5 million.
Superintendent Jack Elzay's ex-
pansion proposals include plans
for a third senior high school and
a fourth junior high school, gen-
eral classroom expansion, library
improvements and specialty rooms.
The bond issue is to cover a
three year period.

sultation was counted as a single:
class of one student each. The
average class size for 1961-62 in
the Law School was 28.23.
In the fall of 1962-63, the meth-
od was changed to a group dis-
cussion, with 50 students in each
section. The average class size in
the Law School rose sharply to
58.71.
Among the schools and colleges,
the Law School's average of 58.71
is highest. Second high is the den-
tal school with 30.53. Low on the
list is the School of Social Work at
4.30. The natural resources school
is second low with 7.35 students
per class. The College ofsLitera-
ture, Science and the Arts' aver-
age class size is 21.89.
High in LSA for class size is the
history of art department, with its
large lectures, at 46.77. Anthro-
pology is second with 37.18.

SALUTE: WARREN ROSKE
Whether a simple voice circuit for a small trunk line, or
a complex high-speed data circuit for the Strategic Air
Command, Northwestern Bell Engineer Warren Roske gets
the nod. Warren (B.S.I.E., 1959), and the three engineers
who work under him, design telephone facilities for private
line customers.
On earlier assignments, Warren engineered communica-
tion lines through the famed Dakota Black Hills, helped in
the Mechanized Teletypewriter cutover in Sioux Falls, S. D.,
and contributed a unique application of statistics to a
Plant Engineering study.
But Warren's greatest success has come in the Trans-
mission field where, after only seven months, he was pro-
moted to his supervisory engineering position.
Like many young engineers, 'Warren is impatient to
make things happen for his company and himself. There
are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.
