merce at the University of Chile

the visitors expressed praise for
everything they had seen in the
United States and particularly for
the warm welcome extended to them
In every community they have visited
on the tour which started May 1e
in Texas.
Americans don't have that util-
itarianism we expected to find so
dominant" they declared, land even
businessmen leave their work and
go out of their way to be courteous
to u.s." Interviewed upon their ar
rival from Pittsburgh, their remarks
were made through an interpreter,
Francisco Aguilera, of the Pam
American Union, who will act as
guide for the group.

trade, Y M. c. AS and automo-
bile clubs in their tour through
Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois,
Indiana and Pennsylvania.

fastened to add that they received
"the very best impression of the
looks and manners of American
girls"

at the great interest shown by uni
versity students in Latin American
affairs, but said they were even
more surprised at the fast pace
of American dancing" They said
that "the so-called American dane
ing is popular in Chile, but 1t has
nothing to do with the way people
dance here" The group was unani-
nous in its preference for Chilean
dancing.

welt from the University of Chile

 l Humphreys testified that Com munists are instructed d to lie i brought before a capitalist court.

SCOT TOURIST ENJOYS ALASKA
 FISHING JAUNT
Salmon and Cuffhroaf Play Havoc with AZ
 Ounce Rod

Halfway across the world isn't too long a distance for the sort of fishing Alaska has to offer, in the opinion of Capt. Struan Robert son, retired British Army officer who is visiting Juneau today.
 Capt. and Mrs. Robertson, of Perthshire, Scotland, are travelling with MT. and Mrs. Ted Lowe, well known former Alaskans, aboard Lowes commodious yacht Polaris, formerly John Barrymore's h. fanta.
 "Jush fishing and enjoying the scenery" said Capt. Robertson, who is enthusiastic about fishing in Duncan Canal, near Petersburg.
 It was in Duncan Canal that Capt. Robertson, with AZ ounce fly rod, caught cutthroat trout of large size on nearly every cast, and lost yards of his light tackle to furiously striking cohoe salmon.
 Amazing to Capt. Robertson is the fact fish are all caught in a salt water skookumchuck," that was for all the world like real stream.
 While in Juneau, Lowe, now a prominent San Francisco financier, but first owner of the old Pacific International Airways in Alaska, visited with Alex Holden of Marine Airways.
 Holden flew for Lowe in the h. terior in that well remembered company from whom so many vet erans of Alaska flying have come. It was from that company that the Pacific Alaska Airways was formed when PAA took over
 The two couples plan to sail from here tomorrow morning for Sitka, and head south after little more fishing and cruising.
