New Test For Aphasia
A new diagnostic test for apha

ed by brain impairment has
been developed by research teams
from the University of Chicago
and Carolina.
Five teams of experts are ad
ministering the test at Middle
western and Eastern hospitals
and clinics, so that it can be
standardized for general use at ap

out the country. Plans are to re
Soviets Cut Back
At Prof's Article
Robert A. Rupen, University political scientist, is sticking by
his guns after a recent article in a prominent Russian newspaper
was headlined: "You Are Lying, Mr. Rupen!"
The July 4, 1959 issue of the Soviet newspaper Sovetskaya
Rossiya rebutted remarks by Dr. Rupen which he made in an
article published in the May, 1956 edition of the Far Eastern
Quarterly under the title, "The Buriat Intelligentsia."
(The Buriat Intelligentsia is a small group of Mongolian
tellectuals which originated around 1900 and were particularly in
fluential from about 1900 to 1930.)
"The few Buriat intellectuals who exist today," wrote Rupen
after explaining most of them had been killed or sent to con
centration camps within the past few decades, "can express on'y
approved Communist doctrine,
and must praise Russian dom
ination. They dare not advo
cate Buriat separatism and
Pan-Mongolism."
To these remarks of Ru
pen's, the Russian paper shot
back: "Certainly (this is true),
for they are trained in the
great ideas of Marxism-Lenin-ism
and in the spirit of prole
tarian internationalism and So
viet patriotism . . ."
Rupen, who has traveled ex
tensively in the Soviet Union,
alr,o stiited the Russians with:
"There is no democratic Rus
sia, and the fate of the Buriat
intellectuals is a part of this
larger tragedy of our time."
The Russian paper answered:
"Rupen writes about some sort
of 'great tragedy' of the Buriat
intelligentsia, about the 'Com
munist suppression' of it. In
deed, he did not see the forest
for the trees. Naturally, it is
difficult for Mr. Rupen, with
his blinding hatred of the So
viet order, to see the whole
army of our nationalist-intelligentsia.
He cannot understand
that it is precisely in the fer
tile soil of Communism that
seeds of knowledge sprout so
luxuriantly, that only in the
Soviet era has the Buriat in
telligentsia developed and a
chieved genuine brilliance."
Before the Soviet article
ended, it had attacked nearly
every point made by Rupen.
