They didn't want to be taken for Russians again. The scouts, who came from the West and Hawaii, wore red shirts and passersby in Cologne, unfamiliar with American scout insignia, thought they were Rus sians traveling from the Mos cow Youth Festival. German scouts wear leather pants. The boys arrived at nearby Ruedesheim Sunday night at the end of a tour of the Rhine river. They took a chairlift ride over the hillside vineyards obtaining the best view possible of the countryside. Scout leader John G. Triplett, Corona Del Mar, Calif., said the boys were glad to be staying in hotels following their camp jam boree in England. "One of the high points of our trip was taking leave of camp life and going back into our hotel," he said. "We learned a lot from our camp experiences, but we are glad to be able to sleep in real beds again and not have to eat our own cooking." After visiting the famed Uni versity of Heidelberg, the scouts will go to Baden-Baden and In terlaken and Lausanne, Switzer land. They win spend the week end in Paris.
