Anti-Americanism Evident In Mexico

By HUL NEWSOM VM Fwelgu New* Analyst MEXICO CITY (UPD - AntiAmericanism lies close to the surface in Mexico. Yet it is not an anti-American-ism easily reduced to terms of black- and white, just as it is not easy to reduce to simple terms the complex emotional, economic and political structure of Mexico. Part of it to in the history books. The history of U.S. intervention in hemispheric affairs in the past and the suspicion it will do so again. The memory of U.S. Marine landings at Vera Cruz aad the boycott which' followed expropriation of U.S.-owned oil fields. "... It is fanned by Mexico’s small but vocal Communist and Com-munist-affiliated parties and by the large Soviet embassy which distributes from its Mexico City headquarters tons of anti-Ameri-can literature throughout Latin American. Can Arise from Slight It can arise from any slight, real, or fancies, to the 400,000 “braceros” who pour across the border annually for transient work to UJS., agriculture. Or it can arise from an incident such as occurred last year. A Mexican congressman asserted that in any conflict of interests between the United States and Cuba, Mexico’s sympathies must lie with Cuba. UR. Ambassador Robert Hill asked if this represented the government view, . and Red-led students poured into the streets to protest UK “interference” in Mexico’s internal affairs. As do other Latin Americans, Mexicans resent what they believe is the United States* failure property to understand their search tor a better way of life to their own way. The proudly nationalistic Mexicans have refused U.S. money grants, preferring instead loans which are paid on the dot. Last year, American investors were alarmed when President Adolfo Lopez Mateos described his government as “far left within the framework of the constitution.” Mexico’s constitution is based re private ownership. to ■'..'See* Ne Contradiction Mexico sees no contradiction in the itoct that its government is Socialistic and at the same time anti-Communist. j- • i Politically, it sees no contradiction in the fact that it can and does maintain cordial relations both with Communist Cuba and capitalistic United States. Economically, . Mexico has ordared ’Mextoanization” of its mining industry, requiring 51 per cent Mexican ownership to be accomplished over a period of years. i Some American investors gloomfly. predicted stagnation for the liwhjatnr. Others believed heavy participation of Mexican capital would be both an advantage and a protoetibn. But, meanwhile, as a San Francisco, investment councillor standing in toe old-world atmosphere ot tie Reforma Hotel remarked, retains on investments remain among the highest in the hemisphere. Returns of 8, 10 or even 18 per cent annually are not uncommon. -

New Programs Arise Daily In Peace Corps By DONALD MAY United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — “We keep waking up at night thinking of new problems,” peace corps director R. Sargent Shriver said the other day. “Some of them we now know very little about. But that’s the way it is in a brand new agency.” The peace corps staff is consulting a half dozen American universities about setting up training programs on their campuses for volunteers. It hopes to have the first training courses started by May or June and the first volunteers overseas next fall. One typical small problem was raised by a diplomat from a primitive country. “You must know,” the diplomat said, “that in my country, if a young man takes a girl out to dinner, it is mandatory that he marry her.” A note was made to include this in the instructions. Training courses will last from three to six months in the United States, with perhaps two weeks’ more training in the project country or in a “staging area.” Language experts have advised the corps that in four or five months of study, four hours a day, a college graduate can be taught a speaking knowledge of even difficult languages such as Hindi, Bengali and Swahili. But initial projects are to be in countries where the language barrier is not extreme. From exploratory talks with some 15 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, officials are getting a clearer idea of what American skills are wanted. One country wants surveyors for a road-building project. Another wants nurses, nurses aides and doctors for a public health program. Another wants engineers and community planners to help build schools and other community facilities in rural areas. One wants college graduates trained in public administration to work in local government. Many want teachers of English, science and vocational skills. The peace corps has had some 20,000 letters of inquiry about joining. These persons "will soon be sent application blanks. The returned blanks will be catalogued according to skills. Applicants will not be screened further until particular projects are chosen. Then some of them will be called in for interviews. Although the corps is open to anyone 18 or over, officials say the standards will be “extremely high.” Overseas volunteers will get no salary. They will get an allowance sufficient to live at the level of someone in a comparable occupation in the country involved. They also will accumulate a sort of “severance pay” which they can draw when they return to the United States. This may be SSO to

Recent Winter One Os Driest For Midwest By United Press International The oldtimer who says midwestern winters aren’t as bad as they used to be was right this year. The winter just ended was one of the driest in the Midwest’s history. There were few of the old-fashioned blizzards and snow storms. Temperatures in general were at least up to normal. It was a milder winter for most householders, who had less snow to shovel and kept their galoshes in the closet much of the time. Motorists could get around easier than usual and salesmen seldom were snowed Into the home office. For the resort business it was a bad winter. Ski centers sometimes ran out of snow. Ice skating wasn’t up to par. < A Kansas City, Mo., forecaster even suggested a dust bowl might develop in western Nebraska and Kansas before a good snoW hit in March. Need Spring Rain The crop outlook depends on spring rains, weathermen said. The snow cover is down, but plenty of spring showers could make up for it and give farmers a good crop outlook for the year. Lake levels will be down unless the spring rains are plentifuL Weathermen in Illinois, southern Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota and Michigan all said there was less snow than usual in the winter period of December, January and February. It was far milder than the storm winter of 1959-60.

December and January were especially dry. Snow storms socked some areas in February, but in other sections, like southern Wisconsin, first-class snow storms took a holiday until early March. In the Chicago area, there was a wide difference between the dry, mild North Side and the more snowy South Side. Snowfall ranged from 28.1 inches on the South Side to only 13.8 to the north. But as a whole Chicago came out much better than the average of 30 inches of snow and last yefur’s 50.9. A Mild February It was a shade colder than usual in Chicago during December and January but a mild 7 above normal in February. Detroit had its smallest snowfall in history. The total for three months was only 2.87 inches. The previous low was 3.23 in 1876-77. Indianapolis was battered with its snowiest February since 1914. A snowfall of 14.3 inches hit the city. But for the winter as a whole moisture figured out two inches below normal. In the Minneapolis - St. Paul area, there was only 1.72 inches of precipitation, compared with a 2.58 normal, and in Des Moines, although precipitation was average, actual snow totaled only 15.2 inches—half the normal. A winter drought began in Wisconsin in late November and gave the state its driest December and January in history before it eased up with snow in mid-February. A snowstorm that blasted southern Wisconsin in early March nearly paralyzed the area but two days later the snow was melting. Galvanizing is the process which lengthens the life of steel containers, such as ash cans garbage cans, baskets, pails and tubs, by providing rust-resistance. Galvanized containers are covered with protective zinc.

Kennedy Oratorical Pace Awe-Inspiring By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI) — Here’s something home viewers might try in a few weeks when President Kennedy holds another news conference on television. Get comfortable in a chair (but no desk or table; that’s unfair) with a conventional notebook and pen-

cil and try to take down in longhand each question asked the President and his answer. This will give the viewer some idea of what the reporters are up against in trying to get on paper the words of a president whose change of oratorical pace is aweinspiring. Some shorthand experts recently did a more or less scientific study of Kennedy’s rate of speech by re-playing sound tapes of his news conferences. The President rarely speaks slower than 150 words a minute and at times, his speaking

speed soars to a rate of over 400 words a minute—and that’s talking. One of the experts spotted a sen te nee which Kennedy delivered in Just a shade over three seconds. His normal rate seems to be about 190 words a minute in news conferences. Under similar circumstances, former president Dwight D. Eisenhower averaged between 120 and 150 words a minute, but his sentence structure was much more complicated than Kennedy’s.
