American Hard Hit
The airline which suffered

be American, which by morn

Something funny happened
this morning.
The editor of this newspaper
is not the closest friend the
school administration has.
Neither is he completely
against it. However, there isn't
anyone in DR.. Whittier's Of

or anyone in the office the op-

was arrested three times and
spent a total of seven months
in solitary confinement. He
was accused of subversion. He
was refused permission to
leave the country in 1947
when forced to take refuge in
the Colombian Embassy.
He was fired as professor at
Santo University in 1892 for
refusing to join the official
party. In 1851 he was dis
missed as director of medical
services for various industrial
concerns through pressure e
from Trujillo.
Today he lives in a modest,
comfortable home almost in
the heart of the city. His wife,
a first cousin, is Atala Fiallo
de Fiallo, a warm hearted
woman who speaks French
and English fluently. Her
father was Fabio Fiallo, poet
diplomat who served as consul
general in New York and
European capitals. The Fiallos
have two sons, Fabio, 40, a
businessman, and Rafael Aris-

During the United States
military occupation of the
Dominican Republic, 1916 =
1924, he showed his national
istic colors in speeches and
newspaper articles opposing
the presence of American
troops. The United States in
tervention started Trujillo to
the top and marked the be-
ginning of DR.. Fiallo's war on
the generalissimo. He was in
and out of jail for the next
81 years. His home knew little
peace and his professional life
suffered.
Yet he does not give the i'm
preston of bitterness over his
fortunes. In this land ruled so
long by fear he seems immune
to it.
Heavily armed police agents
raided his headquarters in
August. He calmly protested
to the officer in charge. AS
he was being led to jail, he
managed a quick smile.
The experience was not new
to him.

DR.. Fiallo represents to a

which all anti government
elements might rally to win

Yet the tall (6-2, 1876

want the presidency.
Centers on Charge
The weight of criticism
centers on a charge that

nationalist, he now favors in

Seen IncOrruptible
Some foreign observers see
him as an incorruptible ideal
ist, possibly too conservative
to suit the political tastes Of
the younger generation in OPP
position ranks.
DR.. Fiallo blames the coop
Grafton of intellectualS and
the indifference of American
nations for helping keep Tru-
jillo in power 81 years.
A forceful orator, he coined
an anti-government slogan
that has become popular -
"BaSta va" The manner in

MIKULOV, Czechoslovakia
Sept. 90 (AP). The Berlin
wall is only the most recent
of the barriers sealing the
Communist empire.
Here, beneath the shadow
of medieval castle, in gently
rolling farmland, is another
just as dour. In wooden watch
towers soldiers have machine
guns aimed not at neighbor-
ing Austria but at Czecnoslo-
vakia itself. A strip of plowed
land about 25 feet wide gives
gunners a clear field of fire at
any seeking to leave Czecho-
Slovakia.
Sown in this plowed land is
not grain but land mines. In
side are three rows of electri-
fled barbed wire.
This is no product of West
ern anti Communist imagina-
ton. 1t is, one must believe
an accurate appraisal by the
Czechoslovak authorities OF
what is needed to keep theil
people home.
The official explanation is
that it is intended to keep Out
Western "spies and Saboteurs'
and it no doubt could do this
too.

pension. 1t does go further"
His $256.31 monthly pension
is twice what he earned as a
storeman- clerk here, and
enough to keep the family
going without the business.
He cites these commonplace
items as examples of lower
living costs: Mans hair cut,
Sc cents; T-bone steak, SO
cents a pound. But Brisbane
prices are lower than most
other Australian cities.
On the other hand, Ludwig
estimates that canned foods
are Is per cent more expensive
in Australia than in the
United States. He also would
pay more for such maSS-pre-
duced items as automobiles or
washing machines.
But overall it's cheaper liv-
ing" he says. And the oppor-
tunitieS in Australia are limit
less for anyone with initiative
and ideas. We are better off
financially than if we had
stayed in the States"
And what does Mrs. Ludwig,
his Australian born wife
think?

it here" she says. II wish

American people were to me-"
Children Love 1t
And the children-Patricia,
Is; Wendy, 13; Kathy. IL;
William, 8, and Michele, 6.
How do they like it?
They appear to be loving
life, just the same as most
other middle-class youngsters
in the United States and Aus
tralia.
Patricia, Brisbane born.
went to the United States with
her mother when she was II
weeks old, and had all her
early education there.
She is doing very well at
school.
Last year she led the girls
from her school in the Queens
land scholarship examination
with 92.7 per cent, a particu-
larly good mark.
This examination is one for
boys and girls, usually 1914,
at the end of elementary
schooling. A pass brings free
secondary education at a gov
ernment school, or a subsidy
at a private school.
Patricia now goes to st. Ur-
sula'S Roman Catholic College,
a few miles from home, by
train and Streetcar. She hopes
to become a schoolteacher.
Her sisters and brother at
tend the local st. Joseph's
primary school. They walk the
'half-mile each way because,
says Mrs. Ludwig, 81 believe
in exercise"
Says Bill Ludwig on the sub
ject of education:
tits far better in Australia
than in the States. Children
here get a more complete ed
ucation and there is more in
dividual teaching. Children
have more homework.
Our children are far ahead
of what they would have been
in the States"
The Ludwig family works
hard-much harder than most
Australian families.
