Our stay in Hanover was very
enjoyable. We spent most of our

popular items were wrist watches

From Hanover' we went by bus
to Kassel. one of the hardest hit
cities during the last war in Ger

destroyed. It has a population of
about 300.000. In one night over
40.000 were killed. One of the
hardest things to believe about
Germany is how fast mey have
recovered. In eleven short years
Kassel has restored 50 per cent of
the 90 per cent destroyed.
While in Kassel we were guests
st the famous Bundesgastenshan
Power show. We were let down in
to the park by a chair lift. It
dropped us down about 130 feet
and took us clear across the park

Vtrld Affairs
Our luncheon was spent at a
local YMCA where we had the
chance to talk to some German
boys about our age. We spent a
good two hours talking about world
affairs, and they showed us a
wonderful time I think I have

to spend part of his schooling

was a professor in Germany and
he taught for a year at Yale Uni

wanted him to go to Moscow to
teach, but instead of leaving his
family he committed suicide. This

We traveled down the Rhine
river where we stopped at Heidel-
burg, Germany, at Konstanz where

German YMCA at Castle Mainau
and took a short trip down into
Switzerland.
The delegation all hated to leave
Germany. We will remember them
for their great out-look on life
and the hard working people
they are.

Of Staff Quits
High Position
TAIPEI. Formosa U. S.
trained Gen. Sun Li-Jen, once
commander in chief of the Nation
alist army, was disclosed Saturday
to have quit as Chiang Kai-Shek's
personal chief of staff after ex
posure of a subord;nate as head of
a suspected Red China spy ring.
The disclosure ended rumors
which have been sizzling for weeks
in Taipei about the four-star gen
eral, a hero of World War II m
Burma.
Gen. Sun, who got his training
at Virginia Military Institute and
is highly rated by American iffi
cers, is not under arrest but faces
the possibility of a court martial.
Even if a commission of inquiry
confirms his assertion he had "no
idea his long-time subordinate
was using the connection for spy j
purposes, there is no doubt that
Sun's military career has ended.
The government announcement
said he resigned Aug. 3 as "an
admission of negligence."
Wu Nan-Ju, head of the Nation
alist Information Bureau, said that
Sun's subordinate. Kuo Ting-Liang, :
has confessed using his long con
nection with the general for spying
activities dating back to 1948.
Gen. Sun, in an interview Satur
day with The Associated Press at
his home, said he and Kuo "fousht
in Burma and Manchuria." that
Kuo became a major under him.
Asked if he ever suspected Kuo
was a Communist agent. Gen. Sua
said:
"I had no idea. It came as a
surprise to me and I was very
disturbed about it."
Kuo and others are under arrest.
