Thure., Oct. 9, 19S8 GILBERTS "What Young People Think" Teeners Still Mistrust America's Old Enemies Neuberger would iRjjg Between Two Civic-Minded By EUGENE GILBERT President Gilbert Youth R tit arch Co. World War II hat been over for 13 years but bitterness lingers on, even in the minds of those who were too young at the time to un derstand it fully. "Nazis . . , war . . . concentra tion camps . . . persecution . . . Hitler . . . falling bombs." Words such as those poo into the minds of four out of five American young people when the word "German" is mentioned. Barbarism . . . war . . . sneaks . . . fanatics . . . han kari ... untrustworthy." Those are the sort of thins? that one out of three American teen agers told our poll takers they think of first when the word ''Jap anese" comes into the conversa tion. On the other hand, another ex enemy, Italy, came out very well in our survey. Less than one in 20 think of Italy in connection with war and Mussolini. Italians are viewed in terms of spaghetti, mu sic and friendliness by four out of five. Babes In Arms The oldest teen - ager in our poU was 6 years old when Ger many fell and the Japanese sur rendered aboard the battleship Missouri. The youngest was scarcely born. Why, then, does the simple men lion of these former foes turned friends and allies conjure up such a picture in the minds of our young folk? Perhaps it's the influence of the movie industry, still turning out war pictures, or perhaps it's tele vision with its old movies pro duced while the passions of war time gripped the land. Or, more probably, the kids are influenced by the still vivid recol lections of parents and older friends who lived through those years of atrocities and propazin-' da. Carol Yasner, 14. of Brooklyn, was a little more than a year old in 1945 when the fighting ended j in Europe but to her word "Ger- man" is matched by the word t "Nazi." ! Diane Brooks. 13, of Norwood, Ohio, thinks of "war " To Ar lene Hevener. 17, of Olean, N. Y.,l it's "concentration camps." Ger-I m.mv means "nersprlltlon of the : I jews." to Catherine Bruda, 16, of Bayside, ivy. ! Alvin Stark, 14, of Jackson. Miss., a year old when the big bomb fell on Hiroshima, thinks of . tlie Japanese as "fanatics they v,irp Insinff the war hilt would I rather die instead of surrendering i until tne a-doiud. I Good Words Too "Who can think of anything else but the barbaric way they treated prisoners urning uw wai, uut-ia Kenneth Weiser, 16, of Las Vegas, N. M. The Japanese are "a bunch of phonies." says Gerry Taylor, 19. of Philadelphia. "Suddenly they love democracy and the United States. But basically they still have little regard for while peo ple you know, Asia for the Asiatics." But, on the other hand, Amer ican young people have a num ber of good things to say about the enemies of a decade and a half ago. Throe out of five think of the Japanese as quiet, soft-spoken and gentle folk. One out of three ad mires them for their art, archi tecture, gardens and cherry blos soms. German intelligence impresses one in six. One in 12 thinks of Prussian strictness. The thoughts of one in 20 turns to products like beer, pretzels or cars when the wprd German is mentioned. Japanese means: "Cherry blossom trees and IS Mte . s weeping willows." to Surella Bruckner, 13, of Dallas. "Harmony of life, communion with nature." to Alida Phillips, 18. of Cincinnati. "A very quiet people. Peace and harmonv." to Albert Wasser man. 19. of Hewlitt. N. Y. j "Rice terraces and sukiyaki," to I Joseph Mattan, a San Francisco j 18 - year - old. ' Beautiful gardens and archi ' lecture." to Jerome Lnx, 19, of I Chicago. Like Fatbar German means: "A smart, clever person," to Eugene Maialc, 16, of Philadel phia. "Sausage, dachshunds. Porsche, Mei cedes Benz, beer," to Charles Irving, a 19 - year - old from Corpus Chrrsti, Tex. "Stern, strict, rough, smart sci entists." to 17 - year - old Sandra Dee of Boston. "Tall, blonds, rather good look ing, intelligent," to Roberta Sny der 19. of Hagerstown. Md. As former foes, the Italians are placed in a class by themselves this is because Italy did not stay long enough in the war to create a continuing adverse impression. "When the w o r d "Italian" it mentioned, "spaghetti, Gina Lol lohrigida and music," pops into the mind of Virginia Delavan, 19, of Jacksonville, Fla. It's "tall, dark, good - looking men." to Priscilla Neaton, 17, of Petersburg, N. Y.; "a passionate people, possessed by the muses, carefree and affable," to Fred eric Litto. 19. of Cos Angeles. Thoughts on Italians are more personal for a 17 - year - old from Portland, Ore. 1 "I think of my father," Terry , Bigoni toid us. j Questions Asked ! What first pops into your mind whan the following word is mon-j tionad: German? Italian? Japan- est? Give P. O. Dept. Rates Initiative WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore) said today he will draft legislation giving the Post Office Department the authority to initiative postal rate increases. The legislative proposal. Neu berger said in a statement from his office here, would transfer authority over postal rates from Congress to the Post Office De partment, but allow Congress 90 days to accept or reject the de partment's recommendations. I "My experience this past year I in the bitter political battle over postage rates." he said, "has con vinced me that such an issue ! should not be determined by parti : san or personal politics, j "Wouldn't it be a dreadful mess I it senators were to be pressured j day after day over the cost of a Bonneville kilowatt to a private utility or an aluminum plant? "Yet, that is what happens when postal rates are at issue. That is i why the rates charged by the Post (Office Department have lagged so j far behind costs, often to the detri j ment and sacrifice of the families ! of the men and women employed jby the Post Office Department." I Neuberger said the measure I should provide a general frame j work to guide postal authorities. "For example." he said, "Con gress should determine exactly I what proportion of total costs ought to be carried by first-class mail, what distinction should be . made between the advertising I content of a periodical and its editorial material and similar standards.

C. Williams said today. Under that bill. Oregon 2ets an additional $5,900,000 in federal funds, provided it meets the dead line. The deadline is that the projects under the program must be con tracted by Dec. 1, 1938. and com pleted within a year after that. Williams said Oregon put 59 projects under the program, and that only one of these Jobs re mains to be contracted. That it due in November. By JAMES DEVLIN , NEW YORK (AP) The race between two civic-minded multi- millionaires for the New York gov- j ernorship gives some signs of be ing closer than expected. The odds presently favor Gov. Averell Har nman'i re-election bid. ' Nelson A. Rockefeller, a new face before the voters, has been waging a spirited, personable, non stop campaign that has encourag ed Republicans. They think Democrat Harriman it no longer the shoo-in he ap peared to be before the August nominating conventions. Manhattan bookies rate Harri man at this point as a 9-5 favorite in the Nov. 4 balloting. Republican leaders insist that a poll conducted under GOP aus pices in September showed Rocke feller and Harriman running even. They report that each polled 40 per cent and 20 per cent were un decided. "Anybody can take polls to prove what they want." snapped Harriman. He predicted the Dem ocrats would do far better than they did in1 the election he won four years ago. Some top Democrats have coun seled against complacency or against being lulled into a false sense of security by the Demo cratic landslide in Maine Sept. 8. One such warning came from Gov. Edmund Muskie, elected senator in that election. Harriman is taking nothing for granted. He has been visiting ev ery section of the state to speak and shake hands with the same fervor he did in 1954. That year he won the governor ship over Republican Sen. Irving M. Ives by the squeaky margin of 11.000 votes of more than five mil lion cast. Since then he has had ample op portunity to build his political strength. The prominence of his office nas kept him before the public for four years, in contrast with 1954 when he was appearing before the voters for the first time after years in federal appointive offices. He was able to build the Demo cratic organization through patronage after 12 years of Re publican state adminstration un der Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. , Meanwhile, came what Harri man calls "The Eisenhower re. cession." the Sherman Adams case, some uneasiness over Eisen hower's Quemoy policy, and the Democratic triumph in Maine. All added up to give the Demo crats confidence that this is their year. But New York Republicans con fend the New York campaign will hinge on state issues not Quemoy or Adams, although Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, their candidate for the Senate, was one of the GOP office seekers who demanded that Ad ams resign. Although Rockefeller doesn't mention it, Republicans have been stressing quietly the difference in the candidates' ages. Republican campaign literature notes that Rockefeller is 50 and that Harriman "becomes 67 on Nov. 15." Rockefeller's activty in philan thropic work for minority groups long before his name cropped up as a possibility for governor may help him in strongly Democratic New York City. He has contributed to low-cost housing in Puerto Rico and Israel and has participated in causes for Negro advancement. Rockefeller himself appears in creasingly confident. "I think I've got a fighting chance to win," be said early in the campaign. Now, he tells his audiences "why the Republicans are going to win." Tops in Republican optimism probably, is L. Judson Morhouse, New York state GOP chairman. He interpreted Muskie's victory in Maine as a happy omen for Rocke feller. "The outcome in Maine," said Morhouse. "actually was a per sonal victory for a vigorous young public "igure one, it can be said, with a knack of getting things done. . .and augurs well for Nel son Rockefeller and the Republi can ticket here in New York slate."
