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

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

"We (the Western democracies)
should especially be careful not
to make the same mistake we
made after World War I, when
the Allies displayed a cool atti
tude toward the defeated coun
try," said de Levie. "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

guilty and embarrassed to speak
about it.
"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.

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 PLAY'S THE THING
When IC , . Lillian Hellman's
Toys in the Attic now on
Broadway. Miss Hellman, lead
ing woman playwright, shows
how sisterly devotion for a
playboy brother can lead to a
family crisis. Life's on-the
scene color photographs prom
ise action and an unexpected
turn of events. Produced by
Kei mit Blooingarden with Ar
thur Penn directing, Toys in the
Attic looks like a good one to
watch for if you're New York
bound over vacation
PYROMANIA AT THE
PENTAGON?
The symbolic firebug has
started two major blazes in
Washington recently. One, is
our present defense enough?
Two, why the interservice ri
valry? John Osborne, Life staff
writer, says that presently "the
fire is out of control " In car
toon from the three service
branches are pictured explod
ing from the Pentagon in an
angry flaming ball, as wolves
attempting to devour each
other and glaring launching ri
val missiles side by side.
HONEYMOON IN CUBA
If you plan a June wedding
and you want to get away fi orn
the tourists, consider a Cuban
honeymoon. The recent Castro
chaos and resulting anti-
American feeling has discour
aged the usual mob of sight
seers and Cuba's tourist agents
are offering "frebies" on almost
everything. One couple was
greeted by a tropical band and
half rates at their hotel They
were also treated to free drinks,
hats, pocketbooks, bongo
drums, Fidel Castro dolls and
a free day at the races
A NEW LOOK FOR LIFE
The new architectural attrac
tion across from Radio City
Music Hall is the home of Time
and Life since last week. Pho
tographer Yale Joel has gath
ered unique shots of the struc
ture as well as other New York
buildings eastside, westside and
virtually "all around town."
Nelson Rockefeller is on hand
for the groundbreaking and
Marilyn Monroe is pictured
opening a pavilion for visitors.
Also in the April 4th issue

land's new Prince Andrew.
Read about the maternity ward
