Mr. JENNER. Now the three Russian students who came over here, did you have any contact with them? Mrs. PAINE. I met them once at an open meeting in North Philadelphia. Mr. JENNER. Were a number of other people present? Mrs. PAINE. Oh, yes. Mr. JENNER. And that is the only contact you had with them? Mrs. PAINE. Yes. Mr. JENNER. All right. Proceed. Mrs. PAINE. Except that I read a book that was written by one of these students nearly a year after he had gone back to the Soviet Union which I found most disillusioning, I must say, in which it was pure propaganda. Mr. JENNER. He sought to report what his experiences here were in America? Mrs. PAINE. He sought to report on this trip that he had taken, that we had worked to achieve. Mr. JENNER. Did you regard him as fair or accurate, that is, what you read? Mrs. PAINE. What I read of the book he wrote was extremely inaccurate and unfair. Mr. JENNER. Did it misrepresent America as you knew it? Mrs. PAINE. Misrepresented America, certainly. Mr. JENNER. All right. Mrs. PAINE. Shall I go on now to what I have studied? Mr. JENNER. Yes. Have you had any formal education in the study of the Russian language? Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have. I attended a concentrated summer course at the University of Pennsylvania in the summer of 1957 where, during the course of 6 weeks, we completed a first year college Russian text. Mr. JENNER. What year did you say that was? Mrs. PAINE. I believe that was 1957. Mr. JENNER. All right. Mrs. PAINE. And then I had difficulty keeping that up, keeping Russian up over the next year, but the following year I was no longer teaching and took a course at Berlitz School of Languages in Philadelphia in Russian, and improved my ability to converse, and it helped me to recall what I had gone through rather too fast in this accelerated course. I then applied for the summer course at the Middlebury College summer language school in Middlebury, Vt., in the summer of 1959 and attended that 7-week course. At Middlebury they required that you speak nothing but the language you are studying the entire time, both in class and out. This was very valuable though very difficult. Mr. JENNER. Who was your instructor? Mrs. PAINE. There? Mr. JENNER. Yes. Mrs. PAINE. I took three courses. Natalie Yershov. Mr. JENNER. You were relating, Mrs. Paine, you recalled one of your instructors at Middlebury? Mrs. PAINE. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Do you recall the name of any other? Mrs. PAINE. Offhand I can't recall. I recall certainly the director of the school but he was not an instructor of mine. Mr. JENNER. Did you have a roommate? Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I did. Mr. JENNER. What was your roommate's name? Mrs. PAINE. Her name was Helen Mamikonian. Mr. JENNER. Is that correct? Mrs. PAINE. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Do you still have contact with her? Mrs. PAINE. It has been a long time since I have written but we have exchanged Christmas cards. Mr. JENNER. Christmas cards and an occasional letter?
