(UPI) Modern, Comfortable Railway Service Available in Europe By RALPH VILLERS United Prasi International New York - (UPI) - One of the biggest and pleasantcst surprises to first - time Amer ican travelers in Europe is the consistently good, high- quality and on-time train serv ice. European railways general ly arc fast, clean, comforta ble and wcll-patronizecl the latter fact not so in this country where practical dis appearance of customers has halted hundreds of runs. Consider how many trains you can take a day out of your home town contrasted to the more than 400 passen ger trains daily that puss through the great cavern that Is the railroad station in Co logne, Germany. Enchanting to Americans are the compartmentalized passenger cars still in abun dance. Sliding doors, opening off a car-length passageway, lead in to solid comfort for six people. It is not exactly private, but 'is far removed from the entirely open passen ger cars in this country in which a baby crying at one end can disturb sleep or con versation at the other. Compartment are giving way on some of the big name trains to open style coarhes. But even then the comfort and elegance is something to marvel. Swedish Modern The Swedish State Rail ways, in keeping with Scan dinavian design traditions, is running coaches ill which the seats arc not seats in the old sense, but Swedish modern furniture with wooden legs and colorful fabrics. And spaced so the u n c r a in p e d traveler doesn't mind how long the journey takes. The Trans Europe Ex press trains marked by the big, distinctive "TEE on the nose of the streamlined, loco motives, set a standard prob a b I y uncqualcd anywhere. From big, roomy coaches, through an Intimate little bar in which an international crowd gathers to chat, to the diners offering vintage wines, the TEE is a fast and luxuri ous way to get about central Europe. The frequent patches of sea, channel and sound in north ern Europe do not inconven ience the rail traveler. For example, on the trip from Copenhagen, on one Danish island, In Odcnse, In the fairy talc country on another is land, the Danish State rail road train pulls right onto a ferry about an hour out of the capital. The passenger can gel off on the huge ferry and enjoy the one - hour water crossing fro m the vantage point of a dining room. Then back onto the train for the last hall-hour. Carries Car, Too European railroads have service to let you take your car right along with you. if you feel you must. The Ger many railroads sell a round- trip ticket In the Rhine region that lets the traveler go one way through the famous val ley by Irain, and then the opposite direction by a more leisurely day steamer. Admittedly, European sleeping car compartments tend to smallness, nor will the slow starting traveler a preciate the on-time record of European trains. 'I he train will show up in the station two minutes before its sched uled departure and he gone when the schedules says "go." Second class accommoda tions are only a few steps be low those of Hist class and much cheaper lor the budget traveler. One American cou ple holding first class tickets spent much of a day happily riding along before discover ing they were in second class, not first. A fast calching on bargain for the American planning on spending one to three months in Europe is the Eurailpass, which provides unlimited first class and extra-fare trav el in III countries, ranging from the commuter trains that run from Lisbon to the beaches of the Cosla do Sol in Portugal, to the Arctic Circle - crossing trains of Norway and Sweden.

The purpose of the seminar, Braunias said, is to bring young diplomats Into an acad emy where they are given an opportunity to hear lectures by statesmen, diplomats, law professors and heads of inter national organizations and to discuss the subjects presented. The seminar was started in 1957 and, with the exception of 1961, has taken place every year since in the magnificent 18th century Klessheim castle, just outside Salzburg. "Austria has the duty," Braunias said, "to gather young diplomats from all over the world here where the Baroque castle luxury con trasts pleasantly with the sur rounding farm area. Mutual Understanding "We like to get them young so they can extend this spirit of mutual understanding - the 'Kleissheim Spirit' - as they grow older." The participants in the first seminar were from European countries only. This year, for the first time, there were many Africans and Asians among the 50 young diplomats from 20 countries. To intensify the "Kless heim Spirit," Braunias sees to it that the young men, most of whom are in their first dip lomatic job all are housed in country inns, tow to four per sons of different nationalities per room. "We housed a Turk and a Greek together during the Cyprus crisis," Braunias said, smiling, "and they got along fine. This is an indication of how international problems can be solved through mutual understanding." Practice through the years has shown, Braunias said, that when diplomats meet up with one another again after many years, the memories of a pleas ant time together remain as a bridge through time, simplify ing the relationships im mensely. "In this way, many more practical ends are reached than through the official chan nels," (he veteran of the Aus trian Foreign. Ministry main tains. Different Countriei The lecturers are chosen from a number of different countries, and "every year we try to include an outstanding woman, as for instance the Begum Ali Khan and Madame Pandit," Braunias said. This year's conference was highlighted by the presence of the International Atomic Energy Agency's head, Sig vard Eklund, Harvard Uni versity's Prof. Gottfried Hab erler and UNO's Food and Agriculture O r g a n i z a tion head B. R. Sen. The seminar's theme was "Modern Science and the New Exercises in Diplomacy." The castle In which Ihe seminar is held Is a magnifi cent piece of Austrian baroque architecture designed by the noled architect Johann Fisch er von Erlach. It has served as the summer residence of the princely archbishops of Salzburg. It was completely modern ized by Adolf Hitler after the Anschluss of 1938 and there fore is one of the few Austrian castles lo enjoy modern cen tral heating. M While Stocks Last!
