(International) Europeans Not Too Happy Over Influx of Tourists From States By UNITED PRESS Half a million Americans will visit Europe as tourists this year and they will come away with some new impressions. They also will leave a lasting impact. . Along with Hollywood movies and, in some places, U.S. Armed Forces personnel, these vacation ists abroad will provide most Europeans with their impres sions of what America and Americans are like. . This will be the biggest Amer ican tourist year in Europe in history, with an estimated 560, 000 there. The United Press polled its big city bureaus throughout Western Europe, asking for a candid appraisal of how the "natives" view the U.S. visitors. The result was not too flat tering. Here is a summary of the replies. Rom The new U.S. crop of "just plain people," is regarded In a friendly manner but some what as a letdown by Italians. Unlike the pre-war family scion on "grand tour," every Ameri can tourist no longer lives and pays in the style of a duke. Yet to the average, poverty-harassed Italian who sees them tour in droves, the American tourist still has an impact of prosperity, even opulence. The compara tive newness and richness of dressing, the inevitable expen sive camera and the general standard Americans demand be cause they are used to it, con tinue to impress. London The bond of common language brings considerable liking and understanding al though the Englishman - often feels that Americans fail to un derstand England. Many seem to miss no opportunity to point out how much taller American buildings are, how much warmer central heating makes American homes, how much thicker Amer ican steaks are. They don't un derstand that Britons don't like central heating, don't want ice in their drinks, can't build sky scrapers on swampy soil like London's, or they would. Frankfurt American tourists have little effect on the natives because the effect good or bad already has been made by the mammoth U.S. occupation force in Germany. " It has established Air Force Drops 1154 as Bad Risks Washington U.R) The Air Force has dropped 241 officers and enlisted men under the op erations of various loyalty and security programs since 1949, it was disclosed today. In addition, 913 civilian em ployees were eased off the Air Force payroll since 1947 and deemed to be security risks. The figures" were ' given to a House appropriations subcom mittee recently by Maj. Gen. J. F. Carroll, a former FBI inspec tor who is director of the Air Force's office of special investi gations. His testimony was made public today. In his appearance before the subcommittee Carroll said that none of the ousted officers and airmen were spies for Russia. But, he added, "all of them were deemed to have back grounds ' or beliefs which indi cated that they had either an af filiation with the Communist movement or sympathetic asso ciation with . activities of the Communist movement and so forth.' a reputation for Americans of almost unbelievable generosity. It also has created an impression that Americans are abrupt, over paid, wasteful, uncultured and undisciplined. Madrid In main, Spaniards are pleased to see more tourists and the government is trying to make the people tourist-minded. The official line is smile and be pleasant to the foreigner. The people themselves can at times be quite irritated when tourists display bad manners for in Spain the accent is on courtesy. Copenhagen The Danes like the Americans. For example, they have arranged a most sue cessful program called "Meet the Danes." Any U.S. tourists who wishes to see how people of his own profession like in Denmark, can get an invitation free of charge from a Danish family. He can spend the day with them, eat . at their tables, play with their ; children and talk about their mutual business or inter ests. Brussels There is a tendency in Belgium toward disappoint ment with Americans as tourists. They- don't tip nearly as well as they did just after the war. Paris 'The anti - American ieeiings m irance marked in 1950 by the Communist-inspired "Yankee Go Home" campaign have largely disappeared. But there still is some passive hostili ty to the occasional rudeness of American tourists and their con tinual comparisons of what is being done in 1 Kansas and in Normandy. Hotel owners believe Americans - are more difficult than any others. They complain about the plumbing, the eleva tors, the telephones. They want ice instead of white wine, run ning water instead of a shot of armagnac.

No Interest, No Carrying Charge! New Sales Tax Bill Given Study By Legislative Group House Bill 694, the new sales tax proposal now being con sidered by the house of repre sentatives at Salem, was dis cussed and explained in part this morning by members of the legislative committee of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. The measure, introduced last Tuesday by the house commit tee on taxation, has been pro posed as an alternative to meas ures increasing the state income tax, now under consideration in the senate. The increase in in come tax under the proposal would be high, estimates vary ing from 30 per cent up to 70 per cent. Alternatives Proposed Information from the legisla tive session indicates that one or both measures will be pro posed as alternatives for the electorate to pass on at special or regular elections within the next two years. The sales tax bill, in fact, calls for a special election to be called, and pro vides that the measure shall not go into effect unless it receives the approving vote of the peo ple. The chamber's legislative com mittee and the board of directors have both gone on record sup porting the sales tax principle, but neither has taken action on this specific measure. It will be discussed again at next Monday's legislative committee meeting, which will be a 7:30 a.m. break fast session at the Medf ord hotel. Similar To California - . The bill is 50 pages long, and is drawn along lines similar to the sales tax law now in effect in California. It calls for a 3 per cent tax on retail sales of tangible personal property, ex empting most foods, prescription drugs, seeds, feeds, fertilizers and certain other things. Companion bills would reduce income taxes if the sales meas ure is passed, and effect other changes in the tax structure. The "package" of bills related to the sales tax proposal includes HBs 698, 699 and 709. First Baptists Set Missionary Meeting The Rev.
