OBAHAM ADDRESSES CROWD Addressing a crowd
of thousands, American evangelist Billy Graham gestures

Ethiopia. In Cairo Graham preached to the largest revival
meeting Egypt has ever seen and he called it "the great

M.any Serviceman Families in
Germany Living in Seclusionf
Frankfurt, Germany (UPD
One of the greatest para
doxes among Americans in
Germany is the popularity of
the controversial "The Ugly
Amercan" in U.S. Army li
braries. For the book, which blasts
Americans abroad for living
in insular life completely re
moved from that of the na
tives, mirrors in a hundred
ways the lives of the inhabi
tants of "Little Americas"
dotted around the German
countryside.
Many American officials
are not happy at this shutting
off of the outside world by
families of servicemen living
here. But the obstacles, they
say, are just too many, and
the segregation of the two na-
tons will have to continue.
The Germans in cities with
large Amercan populations
generally are fatalistic about
the whole affair.
Their Affair
The general opinion is, "If
the Amercans don't want to
mix with us, then that's their
affair and we aren't going to
force them."
Many U.S. officials, how
ever, would like to see the
dispersement of the thousands
of Americans living abroad in
vast housing projects near
military bases.'More than 30,
000 Americans live in five
sprawling housing projects in
northern Frankfurt alone.
The projects are made up of
apartment houses built to Am
erican specifications around
streets mirroring exactly the
"back home" atmosphere the
inhabitants yearn for.
The streets bear German
names but all else is Am
erican. Even the garbage is
collected by Germans in Am
erican uniforms, and the chil
dren are shepherded to and
from school not by German
police, but by American mill
tary police.
The schools themselves
might as well be in Steuben
ville, O., as in Germany. Only
a tiny handful of American
children in Germany go to
Germany schools, although
the local curriculum is gener
ally acknowledged to be one
of the world's best.
Attend Army Schools
Instead, they attend Army
run schools which extend all
the way from kindergarten to
the local branches of Mary
land and Stanford Universi
ties. More than 1,500 students
attend the Frankfurt Ameri
can High school alone.
Almost no Americans shop
at German stores. Instead they
buy everything at the Post
Exchange, normally a sprawl
ing complex of buildings in
cluding everything normally
found in an American shop
ping center.
In the Frankfurt PX, be
side the department store and
commissary are a delicatessen,
barber shop, flower store, toy
store with a vast range of Eu
ropean and American toys.
snack bar, beauty parlor and
a garage with facilities for
every - kind of American car
Other complexes are even
larger. It takes almost half an
hour to walk around the out
side of the vast Air Force
Post Exchange at Wiesbaden
Supporters of the insular
approach to . living abroad
point out that Army families
coming to Germany can buy
in the PX the things they are
used to getting at home.
Opponents of the idea
promptly reply that almost all
the goods in the PX are avail
able on the German market at
virtually the same price. The
only difference you have
to make your purchases in
German.
Clothing in German stores
often is more stylish than that
Xopfersas Sub
Killers Proven .,
New York - (Science Serv
ice) - Navy tests have proved
conclusively that helicopters
can be used day and night and
under all weather conditions
to find and "kill" submarines.
Helicopter flight tests, un
der instrument flying condi
tions, were made from the
decks of modern carriers
against evasive submarine
targets.
Lt. Donald B. Bennie of the
Naval Air Test Center, Pa
tuxent, Md., told the Institute
of the Aeronautical Sciences
meeting here today that sub
marine - hunting helicopters
must be flown automatically
by electronic computers.
Computers must be used
because the processing rate
for instrument information at
low-altitude hovers is beyond
the experienced pilot's abil
ity, he said.
The tests also showed that
the guarding missions for air
craft carriers becomes "high
ly successful" through use of
all-weather helicopters.

brought their memory books
for the leader to see.
As the guests arrived the
girls took turns in receiving
and introducing the guests.
The coming candy and pea
nut sale was discussed as well
as resident camp for the sum
mer; they also discussed about
forming a cabinet for junior
high girls, and the coming
mother-daughter tea.
The tea was one require

on sale at the PX because the
exchange items have to be
bought a year in advance in
the U.S. Yet the sight of an
American woman buying a
dress in a store in downtown
Frankfurt a city with a
population of almost 50,000
Americans is enough to
make the store clerks stare.
Language is another prob
lem which the "anti-insular"
group points out. Americans
living in the housing areas of
ten speak no German after
having lived in this country
for two years.
All their daily dealings are
with Americans or English
speaking Germans. Abolition
of the housing areas, it is
claimed, would force more
people to speak German with
their neighbors and thus help
Americans living over here to
get more out of their stay.
However, there are power
ful arguments for the reten
tion of the "Golden Ghettos"
as the housing projects are
sometimes called.
Insufficient Housing
If the Army had not put up
its own housing, it is pointed
out, the thousands of Ameri
cans in the country would
have been forced to compete
with Germans for the already
insufficient housing available.
Most "Americanized" of all
German cities is Kaiserslau
ten, on the west bank of the
Rhine, which GIs call "K
town." The center of a sprawl
ing complex of a dozen Am
erican and Canadian air and
army bases, the Kaiserslauten
area has an estimated Ameri
can population of more than
100,000.
Frankfurt, a traditional "GI
Town" since the days of
World War II, runs a close
second although Americans
are not too frequently seen on
downtown streets, except for
the bright-light areas of night
clubs and bars around the
main railroad station.

Soviet Educators Note Gap
Dn: QJ.S. Education System
New York - (CPE - A leading
Soviet educator sayi he be
lieved. America was training
many good scientists and tech
nicians on the advanced level
but that the average high
school or college student did
not get enough mathematics,
chemistry and physics.
Mikhail Prokofiev, deputy
minister of Soviet higher edu
cation and a chemist himself,
was not the first Russian to
voice the opinion that there
was a tremendous gap in the
United States between a scien
tific training at the top and at
the bottom.
Others Comment
Several other visiting Rus
sians also have commented on
what they believed to be the
strengths and weaknesses of
the American educational sys
tem. Many Americans agreed
with them.
Prokofiev and seven other
Soviet - educators spent 12
days touring American uni
versities " under the Soviet
American cultural agreement.

The tour took them to Har

college, the University of
Pittsburgh, Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology, and
Case Technical Institute.
Prokofiev said more stu
dents were studying for mas
ters and doctoral degrees in
all fields in the United States
than in the Soviet Union.
"We think that your train
ing on the advanced level is
very well organized," he said.
"This is one of the best fea
tures of your system."
Good Work Said Don
The Soviet deputy minister
said that good work was being
done in American chemistry
and ' that the advanced re
search laboratories he had
seen were well equipped.
He said he thought Ameri
can engineers got a sufficient
ly broad scientific education
and that the U.S. industrial
leaders with whom he had
talked seemed satisfied with
the scientific and technical
men who come to work for
them.
"I would like to say some
thing about the weaker side
of American education,"
Prokofiev continued. "I think
that more mathematics, phys
ics and chemistry should be
taught in your secondary
schools.
He said he believed Ameri
can students began to special
ize too late when they were
already well into college -and
did not get enough prac
tical experience before gradu
ation. The Soviet Union is now
experimenting with a new
program which combines
study with practical work in
high school and college.
The Russians were especial
ly interested in a pilot project
for three-semester year-round
study now under way at the
University of Pittsburgh.
It allows ambitious students
to finish college more quick
ly than the usual two-semes-ter-per-year
schedule. Russia
has no such accelerated pro
gram. Prokofiev expressed the
hope that the Soviet Union
and the United States would
soon be able to exchange more
scientists.
Of the. 27 Russians now
here under the student ex
change program, about 20 are
scientists and technic i a n s.
Most of the Americans study
ing in Russia this year are
working in history, economics,
and history of language.
