Germany's Teen-Agers
Admire Dr. Schweitzer
By JOHN PARRY
United Press International
Frankfurt, Germany - MFD -Germany's
teen-agers, often
criticized as irresponsible and
Ignorant of the crimes of the
nation's Nazi past, aren't as
bad as they've been painted,
according to results of a re
cent study.
The Bavarian state radio
network asked 550 teen-agers
to answer two questions in a
poll:

'Covering7
Convention
By HELEN THOMAS
: United Preu International
S ' Chicago - fDPD - Washington
hostess Perle Mesta, who's de
voted to the Democrats, show
ed up today for the Republi
can national convention.
But she said she's here
. "strictly as a working girl."
Looking every inch the
wealthy matron that she is,
.rather than the career girl she
'claims to be, Mrs. Mesta dis
counted any thought that her
presence at the GOP conclave
could mean a political switch.
- Since she voted for Repub
lican presidential nominee
Wendell Wlllkie in 1940, Mrs.
Mesta at times has been called
"two-party Perle." But, there
is no doubt that her heart be
longs to the Democrats."
. Radio News Commentator
...Party-giver Perle is "cover
ing" the convention as a radio
news commentator. She also
appeared in Chicago to testily
for an equal rights plank in
the GOP platform. The pro
posal would bar discrimina
tion against women on the
basis of sex.
Since she checked into the
Blackstone hotel, Mrs. Mesta
has been kidded about being
a "spy" by long-time Republi
can friends. She was accom
panied by her blonde Repub
lican sister, Mrs. George Ty
son of Lake Tahoe, Calif.
Don't Talk Politics
The two sisters reconcile
their political differences by
' not talking politics." Mrs.
Tyson was in Los Angeles
with Mrs. Mesta and pitched
in as a hostess at the brunch
Perle gave in honor of Sen.
and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson.
' Mrs. Mesta, "hostess with
the mostes'," wanted Johnson
to get top place on the Demo
cratic ticket. She was one of
the few close friends Johnson
called to pass along the word
that he would accept Sen.
John F. Kennedy's offer of the
vice presidential nomination.
Mrs. Mesta has made no at
tempt to conceal her dis
pleasure with the ticket the
Way it stands. But she insists
she is still a "Democrat."
Village Has All
Weddings at Once
'-: Cairo TOPD At the foot of
the Great Pyramid of Cheops
at Giza lies'" a village of some
two thousand persons who
throw all the year's engage
ments into one big marriage.
' The village is caller) Nalet
El-Semman (Quails' roost). It
lives on tne trade of guiding
tourists around the Pyramids
and the Sphynx.
One night every year the
village stages a mass wedding
lor all engaged couples. This
spring, 109 couples were wed.
; The Moslem marriage
sheikh conducted one rpre.
mony after another for six
hours without a break. -
In earlier years, each bride
rode a camel to her matri
monial homo. The bridegroom,
-beaming In "Knndnv" fnUa
and silk scarf, walked before
tne camel, his friends sur
rounding him with bouquets
and burning candles.
a This year, cars replaced
camels. . But the men, , sur
rounded by their friends, kept
walking in front of the cars.
The villagers refuse to mar-
ry on any day other than the
anniversary nf thn ripnih nf
Sheikh El-Semman, the found
er oi tne town.
Changes In Store
r; Burlington, Vt. -TO- Uni
versity of Vermont human re
lations expert Dr. Dalton Ver
non says "in the next 50 years
our children will be caught
up In a mighty tide of change.
1 "They will be so rapid and
dramatic that the pace today
will seem like the pony ex
press compared with an ICBM
taking off from a launching
pad. Parents should encourage
their children to explore and
master the world around
them," he said, i
mire in particular? If so,
whom?
Is there a personality in the
past or present whom you par
ticularly dislike? If so, whom?
Of the 550 interviewed -
students, apprentices, skilled
workers, laborers, college
graduates and high school
seniors - one in four men
tioned Dr. Albert Schweitzer
as the Ideal personality.
Adolf Hitler, dictator of
Germany at the time all the
young persons interviewed
were born, was the most
widely mentioned "negative"
personality.
Hitler Disliked
The selection of Hitler as
the person most widely dis
liked was regarded as signifi
cant. For, in recent outbreaks
of anti-Semitic acts in Ger
many, schools were criticized
for not teaching the evils of
the Nazi era.
Many young Germans, ac
cording to one often - heard
criticism, thought Hitler's
main claim to fame was that
he built the autobahns - the
network of high-speed free
ways which links major Ger
man cities.
The youngsters interviewed
in the Bavarian poll - their
ages ranged from 15 to 24 -
showed that Hitler s crimes
were well known. The poll
contrasted sharply with simi
lar samplings of public opin
ion taken by other organiza
tions in 1953 among people of
the same age group.
Two polls then showed Hit
ler ranked second among the
most admired.
Most of those who chose
Schweitzer said their de
cision was based on admira
tion for the jungle doctor's
humane qualities.
Alter Schweitzer, the per
sonality most admired by the
young people was West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer.
A 15-year-old girl wrote:
"He takes care of us and
watches over everything so
that we are well off."

Vacation Tour
Eagle Point-Mr. and Mrs.
Burton Jensen and children,
Aedene, Charlet, Jimmy and

The family traveled north

Chico Hot Springs where Mr.
Jensen and his mother lived
40 years ago. The family con
tinued to Livingstone. Mont.,
where they visited the ranch
where Mr. Jensen was born
and reared. He noted that one
of the bunkhouses and two
of the granaries his grand
father built of logs, still re
mained standing. Mr. Jensen's

States at Bonners Ferry
Idaho.
In Washington the travelers
stopped at various cities and
from Seattle they went to
Bremerton by ferry where
they suw the ships Mr. Jen
Sen helped decommission aft
er the war. They spent a night
with Mrs. Jensen's uncle, Estis
Gibson, at PortTownsend, and
experienced their first trip on
Puget Sound in his cabin
cruiser. At Tumwater, Wash.,
the family toured the Olym
pia Brewing company plant.
The travelers spent a night In

'Pelted1. Look 'Prevails
In New Fashions For Fall
By GAY PAULEY

New York - This fall, it's
the pelted look in fashion.

Many furs are handled like
fabric. Sometimes the whole
costume is of fur, and it's a
rare better dress firm on Sev
enth avenue, the city's gar
ment district, without at least
one all black broadtail cos
tume in its collection.
Other firms play up the
"casual but elegant" look
when for instance white

sole bodice of a full-skirted
brocade evening dress.

week, used broadtail lavish
ly, but dyed it a cocoa beige.
Estevez planted one white
mink pocket on an at-home
costume of jet velvet.
Bare Shoulder Look
The designer produced
more than his usual quota of
dangerously low necklines,
and also came up with the
bare shoulder look for fall -only
one shoulder covered in
a group of evening dresses.
His "wing" neckline consisted
of two enormous stiffened
points of fabric shooting sky
ward at the shoulders, while
the back of the dress was com
pletely bare.
Fur and fabric merged also
at Originals, a firm making
coats only. A full coat of
vicuna was trimmed with a
cape collar and tuxedo front
of a yellow -red fox called
golden glory. Fabric news:
A chinchilla fleece with a
pile thick enough to give it
the texture of the fur for
which it was named.
The full coat dominated at
Originalla, but there were sev
eral stem-straight silhouettes.
The Samuel Winston collec
tion ranged from simple day
time dresses to ball gowns
sequined from collar bone to
floor. A theater suit in black
broadtail, with black satin
vestee, was priced to retail at
about $800.
Different Jacket Lengths
Winston's designer Roxane
showed four jacket lengths on
suit and dress-jacket costumes.
These were the rounded bo
lero, the bulky waist-length
jacket, the straight fingertip
length, and the seven eighth
which just about turned a
jacket into a coat. Several
coat dresses followed the fit
ted, princess silhouette.
Designer Anne Klein for
junior sophisticates also let
the fur fly - although she
didn't have it dripping from
every collar as some designers
do. She did several ponchos
in bla;k muskrat and a ches
terfield tailored, single breast
ed coat with concealed but
tons in jaguar, one of the
several spotted furs the Amer
ican designers love for fall.
Two of Miss Klein's trade
marks - turtle neck sweaters
or gilets, and capes - showed
repeatedly. The turtle necks,
usually white, were paired
with wintry grays and
browns. The capes, some re
versible, were shown with
turtle neck sweaters and
matching skirts, or with dress
es matching the linings.
Button-Pushing
The button -pushing mania
has moved into the bedroom.
The bedroom button activates
an electrically- con tro 1 1 e d
mechanism used in place of a
standard box spring. When
the unit's in place, you can
change the position of the bed
with a flick of a switch. You
can contour it into positions
for rending, writing, eating,
television watching or just
sleeping. At full contour
height, the user's head is ele
vated at a 70 decree angle; his
feet are five inches above the
hips. '
