They help guard the free
world's ramparts from England
to Turkey, from Germany to the
Mediterranean, and spill
into Africa.
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.

will have responsibility! for
planning all local, regional and
national publicity for the 1950

tennial btfices on the fourth
floor of the Jackson Tower in
Portland, but that Lonie's of
fice will continue in operation
to service other public relations

IF AT FIRST ...
Van Nuys, Calif. HB Some
people just can't take a hint.
Sseven men were arrested on i
Wednesday night on suspicion of
gambling in a building behind
the police station. It was the
third raid on the building in six !
months.

. agreement with West Germany:
The military has full authority
over its own people. 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.
The N a v y s situation is
simpler. It has no bases over
here . . .just dozens of ports of
call. Sailors sometimes are
forced to spend a whole week
end in such meccas as Palma de
Majorca!
Of the 355,000 Americans, j
sailors comprise just 25,000. The j
U S. Army in Europe has 250,- j
000, the Air Force 80,000. j
