With them they brought prob ably ZoO.OOO family members, including at least 54,000 young sters who are enrolled in service-run schools and learning at least one new language. ' The American tourist, sitting in a cafe on the Champs Elysees watching other American tour ists go by, has hardly an ink ling of how deeply dug-in are his countrymen who came here tc join in Europe's defense. The 'tourists spent $427 mil lion on this side of the Atlantic in one recent year. The U.S. Air Force alone pumped out S728 million the same year, in cluding S153 million of airmen's personal paychecks. It's custo m a r y to consider the tourist dollar indispensable. The military dollar would be even more so. Incidents Rale Low Nobody ever tried harder than the American GI to be liked and get along. Military base-local community councils abound to help out. It seems to work. ine rate of incidents run-ins with local civilians which reach police attention is .25 per 1,000 men per month for the Air Force and .78 for the 7th U.S. Army. Traffic accidents are not included. in these totals. The crime rate, according to 7th Army commander Lt. Gen. Bruce C. Clarke, is less than in Washington, D.C. "What're you doing about it in Washington?" he asks, chal- lengingly. It cost $1 billion to create Clarke's army. The annual go ing rate is $1,200,000,000 of which $180 million is the locally- spent payroll. The Air Force in Europe is a $4,300,000,000 outfit. Two-fifths of that investment is paid in Ger man occupation marks and not by the U.S. taxpayer. The Air Force flies 22 types of aircraft at 425 installations in 13 countries over an area five times that of the United States. It employs 2,(500 American civilians and 33,000 "native sons." It has 17,600 persons en rolled in university extension courses. Every airman learns one foreign landguage, at least that's the law. There are 150 self-supporting theaters for airmen. There are 200 base soccer teams. It isn't always easy, this com munity relations. Take a little town, where air base usually are found. Papa" can't get into the local theater too jammed with, airmen. He finds his pub crowded. First thing he knows, there's a juke box. There is no status-of-forces COULD BE RIGHT? Jo anna Moore (above), south ern belle from Americus, Ga., claims that Yankee women have lost the battle of the sexes by fighting for equal rights for women. Joanna might be trying to restart the Civil War, or a battle with the Northern belles or just gaining a bit of publicity. But she might have something there.

But, says Clarke, there has never been a case where Germans objected. Teenagers? He's had trouble with only 11 in 13 months. They and their parents are home now, in America.
