Future With Western Powers Though? Best By German Majority The majority of western zone Germans definitely believe their future lies in an alliance with the allied powers of the west, according to Gunther Berth, a young German news paperman visiting in Medford this week. . Barth spoke last night to members of the 9417th volun teer air reserve squadron. He outlined his own service in the German Luftwaffe during the war, and then answered ques- KEWYSays: Writ us at the Dr. Pepper Plant, 710 South Grape St., or call 3-3144 and tell us your nam and address and how many crowns you have from Dr. Pepper, O-So-Good Grape, mad with real Concord Grapes and Dextrose and the new Choc- elate in beverage bottles.

ON SECTION TWO TODAY FOR GROCETERIA SAVINGS! tions which ranged from queries about his experiences as a pris oner of war, to questions about the current political thinking in the western zone of Germany. Tells of Contrast The sharp contrast in the liv ing standards and freedom pos sible to residents of the two zones of Germany was described by Barth, who said the gener ous financial and economic aid of the United States had enabled western Germany to reconstruct much of its productive plant. He also described the growth of democratic principles in west ern Germany since the war. Questioned as to whether Nazi indoctrination still had an ef fect on German young people, he said that the complete col lapse of the German army at the end of the war, and the re sultant disrepute of Nazi ideolo gies, has largely done away with any tendency toward national istic socialism. Studies Life Her Barth, who is studying this year at the University of Ore gon at Eugene, explained how he was awarded the scholarship through the United States state department after a series of ex aminations. His task, in addition to his studies is to observe Amer ican community life, he said, in the hope that he will be able to interpret America to the Ger mans when he returns. Much of the discussion was taken up with his war exper iences, which were of interest to the reserve Air Force men who had been on the opposite ride. He entered the 1st para troop regiment of the Luftwaffe at the age of 17, and spent the winter of 1942-43 on the Russian front at Orel, where he was wounded. Later his regiment was stationed in France while he and other members were as signed to specialists' schools. Similar Experiences Barth received training as a fighter pilot, and his descrip tion of some of his trials in be coming a pilot drew sympathetic laughter from the Air Force men who, it appeared, had been through very similar experiences. Later in 1943 his regiment was assigned to Italy, and jumped during the fighting after the invasion of Sicily by Ameri can troops. He fought all along the Italian peninsula during the German retreat, and was taken prisoner two days after the armistice there. He spent two years in American and British prisoner of war camps on Malta and in Egypt The young journalist is spend ing this week in Medford as a guest member - of the staff of The Mail Tribune. He will re turn to the university this week end, and is due to return to Ger many in August or September, where he will resume his duties as a junior editor of the Rheinis che Post.
