FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1960 Prof Returns From Tri De Leviie Urges Aid for Germans "It should be our constant endeavor to giv all our sup port to a truly democratic tra dition in Germahl i y," said Dr. Dagobert de LeVie, associate professor of German, who has re cently returned from a six-month sabbatical leave to that country. There is some tendency today toward authoritarianism in Ger many. There are indeed former Nazi functionaries and leaders who are playing a political role and are members of local and district parliaments, said de Levie. But, he added, they constitute a very small minority. De Levie said there are also 1 civil service offici Is who former ly were members f the Nazi par ty but that there s a serious ef fort being made to weed out these former Nazi offi ials from the government. He feels that w sight of these a many and we them.

"The radical faction, the pro-Nazis, was then able to undermine the country's newly developing spirit of democ racy," he explained. The German youth today, he , has found, are eager to hear and learn about the Nazi era while the older generation tends to smooth over that period. That generation was too deeply in volved in the era and feels too Debators to-Enter State Tournament The Men's Debate squad will participate in the State Debate Tournament this weekend at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pa.• David Goodhart and Vernon Barger will argue the affirmative side.

"Although there are between 10,000 and 70,000 neo-Nazi youths! in the Federal Republic, the ma jority of the German youths ab- ! hor the cruel atrocities commit-; ted by the Nazis and show great sympathy toward Israel, the new! Jewish state," de Levie said. The, anti-semitic campaign, he feels, is! the work of crackpots and frus-, trated delinquents. De Levie was invited to Ger many to fill a teaching chair at the Pedagogical Academy at Gottingen. He was the first non- German citizen to be given such an appointment and he lectured and conducted a seminar on American culture and - civiliza tion. In Bonn and Bad Godesberg,; de Levie conferred with American and German cultural affairs and education officers, discussing his ideas for expanding faculty_ and student exchange programs. The German youths, de Levie has found, are very eager to learn about and to come to the United States. He would like to see a junior year-abroad program developed, l at the University. Through such' a program as I envisage it, he' said, students could spend a year: abroad without additional ex-, penses by merely paying their usual Penn State fees, They would then get free academic instruc tion, room and board at their ex- , change college. The only foresee able additional expense might be the cost of transportation. Ever Hear Of Fool Long Berger Boats!

AD 8.8381 Sally Darnel Looks at ;.~ A LESSON FROM DRESSEN In the Spring a young man's fancy often turns to thoughts, of baseball (much to the coed's dismay). This season, Chuck Dressen, the new manager of the Milwaukee Braves, seems to be dominating the Spring training scene in Florida. For mer coach of World Series Champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Dressen says they haven't "a prayer of repeating" their victory. Between his dawn golf games and nights at the dog races Dressen leads a busy life with the Braves, who, by the way, are favored by the eddsmakers to take the pen nant. Life's photos include a pen sive closeup, a pepper game with Pitcher Joey Jay and ironically a victorious Dressen smiling after the Dodger World Series win. ONE MAN SHOW STARS BRANDO Step right up and see the versatile Marlon! He acts, he directs and he produces (with Paramount Pictures' money, of course). Marlon Brando is pic tured on Life's cover this week costumed for a part in his new movie, a "violent, sex-seething western called One-Eyed Jacks." Brando, who also di rected the film, calls himself "the emotional traffic cop." He feels that directing is a chal lenge and that "acting is a bum's life." To get the proper response from his cast he makes faces at the actresses, tells them they're holding up lunch and offers $3OO bonuses to whoever can work up the most horrified expression: ..Life photographer, Sam Shaw, snapped some scenes both romantic and violent for Life's preview of Brando's lat est venture. N'IKITA: GIFTS AND GOOD WILL A gay Khrushchev bearing presents and propaganda met with President De Gaulle in a not-so-gay Paris to discuss French alliance with the So viets on the Berlin question. The French communists smiled and checked Nikita's crepes suzettes for "foreign bodies" with a geiger counter, a gadget having a possible market among us consumers of dorm cuisine. Life photos show Mr. K. be stowing a gold Sputnik model to an austere De Gaulle and a cavalcade of motorcycles es corting Khrushchev up the famed Champs Elyseet.

The symbolic firebug has started two major blazes in Washington recently. One, is our present defense enough? Two, why the interservice ri valry?
