tional Exchange Program of the,
State Departmpit.
After talking to journalism std.- ,
dents in eight or nine universities
in Equador, Venezuela, Argen
tina, Chile and Uruguay, Marbut
said that he was astounded with
the extent of knowledge the stu
dents had of the American gov
ernment and people.
He also said he was embar
rassed to admit to many of the
students, under their barrage of
questions, that the average Amer
ican college student knew very
little about South America.
During one cocktail party in
Caracas, Venezuela, where the
students and the journalism di
rector were said to be extremely
"left," Marbut was "put on the
pan" for hours with questions
about American reaction to the
'ordeal that Vice President Rich

All of his time wasn't con
sumed in the defending of Amer
ican 'college students,
however.
He spent quite a few hours with
a man he described as an "aris
tocrat at his best."
He referred to the editor of La
Presna, a newspaper which rank's
with-the London Times and the
New York Times.
Dr. Alberto . L Gainza, an editor
who fought Juan Peron's dicta
torship until the latter's exile,
discussed with Marbiat problems
of the free presi in a country
ravaged by revolutions and tem
porary dictators.
Despite the present conditions
which are scorching our southern
neighbor, however, Marbut feels
that the threat of Communism is
not imminent, for the majority of
the people there are opposed to it.
Leaning back in his chair and
smiling, Marbut said his trip was
exciting, the Argentine steaks
were delicious, and that he was
received with courtesy every
where he went, but he thought
that he would not go back next
year. The weeds in his garden,
he said, grew too tall in his ab
sence last summer.
