Hitler Era Children
Must Get Fair Chance
u, 5. Educator Insists
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, April 24.-An American
Military Government educational
official who has mixed with German
students for 40 years says that con-
tact with postwar German univer-
sity students has convinced him
that Germany has no lost genera
ton and those we used to call Hit
ler's children will turn out all right
II given fair chance"
DR.. Richard Thomas Alexander,
professor Of education, on leave
from Columbia University, in charge
Of higher education for AMG, made
this observation in an interview. DR..
Alexander studied at Heidelberg and
jena as youth. He visited Ger
many every year for 40 years as an
exchange instructor or in charge of
American exchange students. He
1ectued from 1925 to 1895 at the
University Of Berlin and also taught
at the University of Stettin.
Backed with this experience and
Is months in AMG, he says that the
present crop Of university students
in Germany are IAN excellent
bunch" despite the fact they live
in q weird world where $3.50 worth

black market prices are known to
have paid for a semester's study for
IL medical students at the Univer-
sity Of Berlin.
Enrolment Mounts.
DR.. Alexander says that university
enrolment in the United States zone
is higher than before the war, stand
ing at about 10000 in 10 schools and
about four times as many applicants
as can be accepted. Many who can't
gain admission listen in the black"
That is, they come into lectures un-
registered ard take chance on
picking up enough to apply for and
pass examinations.
So intense Is the German students
desire for education, said DR.. Alex
ander, that they stand for hours
at lecture in cold halls"
"This group will come out all right
II they're given fair chance" he
said. "I'm not saying they're all
democrats. But If we can give them
inspiring teachers, improve their
economic condition and give them
contact with the outside world,
they'll come through OK. am
amazed at their capacity for work.
Reports Discounted.
DR.. Alexander dismissed as in
significant reports that there were
still Nazi tendencies in university
student bodies.
DR.. Alexander said 235 university
professors in the American zone had
been removed as Nazis and that
others were still under investigation.
The general quality of available pro-
fessors IS not high and efforts are
being made to obtain help from
abroad.
Medical schools are most crowded.
At the University of Munich, for
instance, 1000 OF 5000 students are
studying medicine. Engineering
schools also are full. The average
age of students is "a years and they
include many war veterans. Girls |
make up nearly 40 per cent of the

Whitney Sees Delay
l0f Six Months for
Railroad Showdown
By jones Y. Newton

Government officials who feared
an early railroad labor crisis had
the assurance today OF A. F. Whit
ney, president Of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, that there
would be no showdown for probably
six months.
Mr.. Whitney's union is one OF the
five operating brotherhoods which
soon will begin new negotiations
with representatives of the railroads.
The Trainmen and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers participated
in the strike a year ago which TIED
up transportation for 48 hours.
The veteran rail union leader
told newsmen that while the rail
brotherhoods believe they have the
legal right to call strike any time
after Sunday. they plan to start
from scratch" and put their nego-
tiations through all the machinery
of the Railroad Labor Act. This
would take about six months.
Belief that strike would be legal
after Sunday is based on the opinion
of Mr.. Whitney and others that the
settlement of last years strike by
President Truman was merely
moratorium In which the unions
agreed to give up demands fol
working rule changes for year.
| At the time Mr.. Truman dictated
settlement terms, the trainmen anc
engineers already had put their dis.
pute through all dispute-settlins
stages of the Railway Labor Act.
The unions this year again will
demand the rule changes and are
more determined than ever to get
them, Mr.. Whitney said.
Mr.. Whitney's statement at COM
bined dinner and news conference
last night jibed with the stand Of
Alvanley Johnston, who said the
same thing in Cleveland regarding
his Brotherhood Engineers.
Mr.. Whitney noted that unlike last
| year the trainmen and engineers
now are working as a unit with
three other brotherhoods, the fire.
men, conductors and switchmen, to
win changes in working rules. He
said he believes that q committee
of the five unions. when it meets
in Cleveland next Monday, will de-
eide to start from scratch"
