DARWIN, Australia, March
20 (UP) Increasing numbers of
American soldiers here are get
ting on well with the Australian
comrades except for one thing
"the amazing Australian lan
guage." The Americans swear the Aus
tralians don't talk English and
Australians reciprocate in kind.
And each group Insists the
other talks too fast.
So great are the difficulties
that Col. Robinson, in charge of
American forces here, had to
telephone Copt. K. O. Preshain.
Australian liaison officer, to act
as translator when the col-jn-.-l

tralian soldier.
Actually, a United Press cor
respondent has found, it is pos
sible to learn Australian slang
which forms a large part of
most Australian soldier conver
sation within a week if one nas
a Rood ear and applies one's
