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.

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.
