Texan Aids 4000 in
ginning Citizenship
iHouiton. Tex. - (UPD - Fif
teen years ago, Jerry Pierce
had an Army buddy who was
facing deportation from the
United States' becausehe did
nrt know his rights.
" Pierce decided to do some-
th ng to help his buddy and
.-.. result founded his. own
; ; "i eclal school" which has
- h led more than 4,000 aliens
c im United States citizen-
His first protege had failed
it"' elaim certain rights as a
V rid War II veteran and
j ned doomed to expulsion
w 'n Pierce showed him how-
aolve the problem. After
tl.e experience, Pierce felt oth
r aliens needed help of a
'personal nature in their strug
gle with what sometimes
seemed . to .be.' heartless red
Up.: ;

call the ' "Americans - by -Choice-School,"
Pierce teach-,

until Pierce feels, the
la ready for the U. S.
ition Service exam-
His pupils ' seldom fail .the
federal test after the fine
pointy of the Constitution and
local, state and federal gov
ernments are, studied in
Pierce's school. "
People of all ages and back
grounds - from Germans who
escaped the wrath of Hitler
to Hungarian freedom fighters
who fled Communism j- have
heard Jerry Pierce repeat the
preamble of the Constitution
from memory. -
A former real estate dealer,
Pierce gave up- his business
because . of an automobile ac
cident two years ago and now
works as a night watchman,
' Although he has no each
er's degree and does not think
of himself as an educator, his
students agree he has what
it takes for this , type of ' in-.
struction. In their words, "He
has heart and understanding."
The effect of .Pierce's years
of ; effort Is exemplified- by
Armo Lachman, 51, a native
of Berlin who . escaped the
Hitler movement In the 1030s
and came to Houston.
Lachman was naturalized in
1983 after attending Pierce's
school and has volunteered to
help teach classes ever since.
Ha said he considers himself
"very, fortunate" - to ha v e
known Pierce.
"He Is a remarkable man,
able to rub off such , a tre
mendous amount of American
ism on his students that many

commented.

his students;

he said, "I'm sure they can
get past Mr. Chapman." Chap

tons of freight.

year, the traffic and freight
were up 6.50 per cent and
8.63 per cent, respectively.
The Indian railway system
biggest in Asia and fourth
largest in the - world, - first
started in 1853 with a 20-mile
route. During the British era,
railroaders pushed their
wide,- narrow- . and. meter
gauge tracks ail over undivi
ded - India, connecting the
Khyber Pass in the northwest
to the Burmese border in the
southeast.
At present, the Indian rail
roads cover about 37,000
route miles. Of this, only
3,000 miles are run by private
railways. Such railways op
erate in some of the hilly, for
est regions of the country and
have to pay a royalty to the
government.
. With independence in 1947,
India inherited a sick railway
system. The depression of the
1930's had -hit the Indian rail
way hard, making replace
ment of rolling stock difficult-
Worse yet, nearly 4,000 miles
of railroad tracks ' were up
rooted during world War II
and sent to overseas war thea
ters together with 200 locomo
tives and 8,000 cars.
Independence meant parti
tion of the Indian sub-continent
and the Indian railways
were hurt again when 80,000
Moslem' railwaymen left for
service in Pakistan. Since
most of the technical person
nel in undivided India were
either .Anglo-Indans or Mos
lems, replacement was dif-ricult.
The major task undertaken
by India during its first five
year plan (1949-54) was that
of rehabilitating its railways.
New locomotive and railway
coach-building factories were coach pays 168 rupees' or
established.
Last year the state
owned Chittaranjan Locomo
tive . Works in West Bengal
produced 173 locomotives and
the Tata Engineering and Lo
comotive Works (TELCO)
supplied another 105 locomo
tives. The gvernment-run In
tegral Coach Factory in South
India manufactured 448 rail
way coaches in the same year.
. With Indian railways now
showing a healthy profit, they
have become a vital source of
development revenue. . The
third five-year plan which be
gan this month lists the rail
ways' anticipated contribu
tion at slightly more than $1
billion.
A Railway Ministry spokes
man attributed Indian Rail
ways' - profit-making to "the
fact that most of India's hear
430-million people depend on
trains for. transportation.
Daily, the Indian Railways
carry about 4, million pas
sengers.
In a backward country like
India where there still are
villagers who have yet to see
an automobile, railway travel
is regarded as a fascinating
experience ' by some. Scenes
such as a bewildered rural
resident throwing coins and
flowers at a locomotive before
making his 'maiden railway
journey are not altogether
uncommon..
By way of railway fare, the
average Indian traveler does
pretty well. A trip from New
Delhi to Calcutta (a distance
of 900 miles) - costs a third
class passenger only 27 rupees
($5.67). A first-class traveler
who has an air conditioned
arjoui so. - . . 7
The usually crowded Indian
trains are made up of an epic
array of . coaches . marked
-first class."' "second class,
"third c 1 a s s,-".' "servant's
class," and even a special
class for animals.
A railway official . admitted
that road . transport; chief
competitor of. railways in bet
ter developed countries
abroad, was poor in India.
India has only 103,000 miles
of black-topped roads, 52,000
buses and 91,000 cargo trucks.
Indian railways can be
agonizingly slow. The 900
mile trip from New Delhi to
Calcutta on . a . "crack" mail
train 'may take 35 hours and
probably longer due to de
lays -' -'
While such lengthy jour
neys . are not bad for first
class passengers in the air
conditioned . coaches, third
class passengers are not so
luck y compartments are
like, mobile ovens during the
scorching summer.
' A portion of the train de
lays are caused' by. school
boys and others who pull the
emergency stop cord ,
