Homesick GFs Find Czechs More Like Folks Back Home By Leo S. Dlshar United Press Correspondent Prague, June 14 (U.PJ Home sick GI s are finding Czechs and the Czech homeland more Amer ican than anything they have yet seen on the continent. There are only few Yank soldiers in Prague, but smiling, friendly Czechs crowd around them in ihe streets and wave as they race by in their open jeeps. The Czechs are anxious to try out their rusty English they . were forced to speak German throughout the nazi occupation and they are continually ask ing the GI's for English-language newspapers and books. Few U. S. Flags A scattering of American flags fly in Prague, but most of the flags in this bullet-scarred capi tal are Russian and Czechoslo vak. Likewise, most cars in the streets are captured German machines carrying Russian offi cers and American jeeps crowd ed with "Ivans" everybody's name for the Russian GI's. To an American correspondent accustomed to seeing only Yanks riding jeeps, it is strange to see them driven by Ivans with their loose-fitting, leather-belted field jackets and heavy black boots, all. carrying side arms and sub machine guns. Cardboard Russian street signs are everywhere and the Ivans drive their jeeps around with the same reckless abandon for which American soldiers are notorious. Last night, in front of the Am bassador Hotel which is the 1 Good Cooks CSSi TANO equivalent of London's Grosven or Square so far as the Yanks in Prague are concerned I saw four GI's call out to a lone Rus sian soldier.' Everybody Happy "Hey Ivan, come here," they shouted. The grinning Russian came over and Czech passersby crowd ed around them. Everybody be gan talking Czech, Russian and English all at once, with the ci vilians looking on and beaming. The doughboys finally slapped Ivan on the back and marched off happily. Ivan was grinning too, although no one had under stood a word anyone else had said. The small ffrnun nf AmprlnnnK here, like their counterparts in Pilsen and elsewhere in Czecho slovakia, were quick to make friends with the Czech eirls. Ynn frequently see them walking arm m arm mrougn tne streets in the warm late evenings. Livestock Portland.
