Tyrm DiHy HiraM, Pitt Grass Roots Diplomacy' Is Improving Image of U.S TRAVEL TOPICS By DOROTHEA M. BROOKS United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) The fascination of high finance, no matter the current state of the stock market, is apparent in new products designed for the financier and would-be financier. For the man who works at his investments, be he professional, student or member of the great investing public, a new, convenient pocket-size Stock Stick will compute, instantly and accurately, dividend yields and price-earnings ratios. Molded of durable plastic in a slim by 8 3 size, encased in a protective vinyl envelope, the instrument works on slide rule principle. A single setting of stock price is all that is required.

Product of Stock Stick Denver, Colo. For those who would savor the excitement and challenge of Wall Street without risk, J. C. Walk of St. Louis is offering a new game called The Investment Club.

Players trade in stocks of famous-name companies, working with actual miniature reproductions of company certificate-, attempting to "buy low and sell high." The New York, Midwest, Pacific and Over-the-Counter markets are represented in the game, with companies listed on the boards through which they are actually traded. Stock splits, broker advice cards and news report cards contribute to realism. Another game of high finance, Tycoon, product of H. C. Jacoby, North Hollywood, gives players control of multi-million dollar corporations, permits them to do a landoffice business in stocks and bonds, make a killing on Wall Street, or go merrily bankrupt, all without risking a dime.

Players buy and sell shares in top-name corporations. Depending on luck, know- how and plain horse sense, they become corporation presidents, declare dividends, pocket bonuses, open branch offices, convert shares to cash, get bounced from the presidency and stuck for taxes.

Businessmen's Record Club, 415 N. Dearborn Chicago 10 Cel-U-Dex New Windsor, Newburgh, N. Y. By RALPH VILLERS United Press International NEW YORK (UPIi Armchair travelers can do the next best thing to jaunting overseas they can invite foreign visitors to this country into their homes. Surprisingly, it's very easily done, especially for living in gateway cities such as New York, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

But possibilities exist elsewhere now that foreign visitors are traveling all over the United States. Opening your home to a traveler from abroad would be an expression of the growing People-to-People program. Basically, it's goodwill at the grass-roots. When foreign tourists are in your area, it's not difficult finding one, two or even a family really eager to visit an American home. They are curious as to what is behind the walls of all the homes and apartment houses they pass and how Americans live.

Neither is any special preparation necessary on the part of the American host, nothing more than for entertaining neighborhood friends. For example, when the liner Canberra recently brought more than 1,600 Britons to New York on a cruise, it took only one inquiry at the ship to quickly produce a husband, wife and their two young daughters from Warwickshire who wanted to spend the day with an American family. What was it like? What do you do? A barbecue in a nearby park opened their knowledge to something truly American, Cooking out over the charcoal was something just not done in the woods at home. They eagerly took movies and still pictures to show the folks at home how they dug into American hamburgers and hot dogs. Even the boxed plastic spoons for the potato salad were an experience "You Americans have everything." It worked both ways, too.

My kids learned that ketchup to some people is "tomato sauce (pronounced toe-mah-toei." These were people who came 3,000 miles to see and learn, and eagerly they questioned about all facets of American life. Before the day was over, the children were fast friends. Now a frequent query is, "When can we go to England to see my friend, Mary?" But this is only one phase of People-to-People. "There are thousands of ways you can make contact," pointed out Joyce C. Hall of Kansas City, chairman of the Executive committee of Peoole-to-People.

He cited classroom exchanges between schools in this country and abroad, college campus programs to help and meet foreign students, or even individual people-to- people letters. People-to-People was born in 1956 under the sponsorship of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and run as a government project. Last November it was reorganized as a nongovernmental, non-political, non-profit organization. Hall has channeled the drive which made him the nation's largest greeting card maker into his People-to-People post.

One of the projects of which he is most proud is the spread of People- to-People on Campus from the University of Kansas to more than 600 schools. Once campus leaders at Kansas realized foreign students were absorbing a none-too-flattering view of America, they sft about establishing lasting permanent contacts, forums for joint discussions and helping foreign students find jobs and housing. "It has changed the thinking of these students," Hall said. "The best byproduct is that it is as effective on the American on the foreign students. ''Tne'' a rea'son the American students doing something about the foreign students was that it hadn't occurred to them.

It was an oversight. I think it is the same way with foreign tourists." (Editors: This is the first of two Travel Topics columns on People-to-Peoplc. The second will cover Americans touring abroad.) By JOHN F. O'BRIEN United Press International New Film Gives Us A Pugilistic Presley By JOSEPH A. ST.

AMANT United Press International LOS ANGELES lUPI) You hollered "Hey, champ!" at this gathering and at least eight guys looked around. It was quite a collection of boxing greats, including Joe Louis. Among the others were: Fidel La Barba, flyweight champion from 1925-27; Mushy Callahan, junior welterweight (it was official) in 1926; Maxie Rosenbloom, light heavyweight king, 1930-34; Jimmy McLarnin, welterweight champion in 1933 and again in 1935: Gorilla Jones, middleweight champion briefly in 1931; Solly Krieger, middleweight champ in 1938. and Jimmy Carter, lightweight champ, 1951-55. The occasion was a private showing of a new film, "Kid Galahad," starring Elvis Presley.

The picture is based on an old Francis Wallace story first made into a film starring the late Wayne Morris 27 years aco. Callahan coached Morris in the original version and also taught Presley the ropes for his role. "Presley could really have made a good boxer," said Mushy in apparent seriousness. "With a little sharpening, he could beat some of the professionals I've fought against." (This appraisal will never be tested.) Callahan said Presley confessed he had never drawn a boxing glove on his hands until the film was made. "He has very tough hands though," said Mushy.

"When he was in the Army in Germany he told me he had someone teach him karate and judo. The side of his right hand is all calloused and he can split a pretty good sized piece of wood with that karate chop." Two young local brothers who box professionally and fought against Elvis in the film also had a good word for him. They are Orlando de la Fuente, a welterweight, and Ramon, a light heavyweight. "He is very, very strong," said Orlando. "He was very interested.

He watch me very carefully so Vie could learn the body movements of a boxer." "Elvis hit me pretty hard," said Ramon. "There was one scene there where we keep on fighting after the bell rings. He caught me a good right hand on the jaw. It wasn't in the script but they left it in, it was such a good scene." PORTLAND, Maine (UPI) Foreign correspondents covering the American scene for readers and listeners overseas are becoming aware that life in much of the United States is sharply distinct from the daily living in New York and Washington. Through the state of Maine's program to entertain foreign journalists and broadcasters, those who have visited here, In the past six months are discerning this difference and reporting it back to their home countries.

America's often- tavnished image abroad ha's taken on a new, most favorable dimension. This state, easternmost in the nation, is known for its social simplicity and the leisurely pace of its 970,000 citizens. Since last March, Maine has been cooperating with the federal government in helping present a picture of U. S. life that infrequently is transmitted overseas.

Because much of the state is vast forest land and the total industrial output is not great, the way of life of Maine people is not reflected in the daily flow of major news events from the nation's business and political capitals. In its biggest single effort to demonstrate how Maine people work and play, the state entertained 20 foreign correspondents for an entire week in mid-August. The newsmen and their wives were brought to Maine in a chartered bus. They visited the Telstar earth station in the mountains of Western Maine; they saw huge pulp and paper mills in operation, and they were treated to a unique display of all products made in Maine. But most important, they lived in the homes of warm-hearted families.

A number of foreign journalists had been entertained by Maine failles previously, but the August outing was the biggest and longest visit by members of the foreign press to the East" state. Another reporters from the world have been invited to the Bangor area in October. Maine officials hope their example of good neighborliness to visiting newsmen will be followed by many other states. At least 10 states already have expressed serious interest in the program. By coincidence, the week's visit began while President Kennedy was enjoying a brief vacation on a coastal island near Maine's seaside village of Boothbay Harbor.

A highlight of the foreigners' visit was an old-fashioned Maine lobster and clambake on pine-studded Cabbage Island, a 20-minute boat trip from Boothbay. For nearly seven hours, the foreign guests conversed on all manner of subjects with American newsmen covering the Kennedy party and with Maine people representing a wide variety of occupations and cultural backgrounds. The words were in many languages, but the smiles and nods of understanding had universal meaning. Late in the afternoon, tin 1 guests were served a delicious dinner of steaming lobsters and clams cooked in seaweed over an outdoor fire. Curious sen- gulls soared above thu stately pine trees and occasionally dipped into the surf for their own seafood specialties.

A mild breeze bore a salty scent from the ocean as the clouds parted to reveal sunwaslicd views of Maine's rockbound coast. To a man, the correspondents agreed that New York was novrr like this. Aristide Moleon of Noticeias in Caracas, Venezuela, and his vivacious wife, Gloria, former editor of the women's magazine, Paginas, were among those impressed with this flavor of Maine. They have lived about, three months in New York. "I sense here, as in other places I've traveled in, the United States, the goodwill and the desire of the people to help other countries solve their problems.

I realize that most of the time the chief problem is lack of communication. To exchange ideas, to get to know each other as we are doing today, is the basic way to settle differences between nations. I think this is a fine way to have us learn about your people," Moleon said. Mrs. Moleon said "it is lovely and peaceful here.

The absence, of noise around makes us feel more warmth from the people. This is the most important kind of thing Americans can do." Henk Ohnesorge of the Springer Foreign News Service in Germany, has been in the United States for about two years. He perceived the contrast with life in New York. "I can't think of any instance when I've felt so much at home in America," Ohnesorge said. "I am amazed at the lack of noise, traffic and flashing neon lights." Ohnesorge's charming wife, Margot, compared the setting with Baltic sea resorts in Europe.

She was impressed "with your beautiful seashore and the thick woods at the edge of the Here's A Letter for All of Us (EDITORS NOTE Henk Ohnesorge, New York correspondent for the. German Springer News Service, visited the state of Maine in mid-August when that state played host to a group of 20 foreign newsmen. Henk and his wife Margot stayed at the Scarborough, Maine, home of advertising executive L. Norton Paysoii. In the following letter, the German reporter expresses his thanks to his host and gives some insight into how a foreign visitor often views America.

Ohnesorge's letter, in a sense, isaddressccl toall Press International, New York Dear Novl Collecting my thoughts about our visit to Maine is not vciy easy after a long clay in the office especially on a hot, humid New York summer day. I would much rather pack my bag and lr ave for Maine where I could tell you in person. If a normally sober, staid Teutonic journalist gets this "let's pack and get away from it all" type of idea, something unusual must have happened and it has. correspondents, as you have discovered by now, are funny critters. They are supposed to be objective, open-minded nncl impartial "i-yns and ears" of their readers in whichever country they are stationed.

But it is difficult sometimes not to become the victim of one's own prejudices. 1 have always held that New York is not America. This trip to Maine has shown me and in due course will show my readers that America is, indeed by far, much more than a montage of skyscrapers, Madison Avenue, the "hard sell," and rush, rush, rush. America, as our trip has shown Margot and me, is also kindness hospitality, consideration, pride and dignity. I have told you that sometimes, when New York seems to overwhelm us, we visit friends in Connecticut.

We are able to get away from the rat race for a few hours and regain our sense of perspective. This is so necessary for journalists especially foreign correspondents stationed in a country far from home. Pew of my colleagues have enough time or expense accounts large enough to permit extensive travel in the United States. Usually when they do travel, they do not meet many of the people they would really want to meet, let alone to have the opportunity to stay in their homes for a few days and get to know them intimately. I am firmly convinced that in order to know a country, one has to know the country's people.

I mean the ordinary citizens the Smith's, Joneses and Browns and to have the opportunity to talk with them for hours on end on whatever subject strikes their fancy Let me tell you this, Nort. I have learned more about America during my week in Maine than I have in almost two years in New York. Journalists are a curious, sometimes nosey lot. I want to learn more. Much more.

Therefore Margot and I will return to Maine on our own just as soon as time and conditions permit. Some states. I am told, make some of their visitors honorary colonels. After my week-long love affair with the State of Maine, I would bo proud and honored to hold the rank of Maine PFC. Once again, our sincere thanks for a most beautiful opportunity and a week we will not forget.

Henk HI-FI Damj3l Viklund of Dagens Nyheter in Stockholm recently arrived from London to spend two or three weeks in New York before moving on to Washington. He liked the old- fashioned houses and the slower pace in Maine. "Many of your houses look like those built in Sweden 40 or 50 years ago. I like it here because everything is not so bright and shiny. There is a more settled culture people seem more sure of things." Bert Van Velzen, KRO radio, representing Belgium and The Netherlands, has been in New York for three years and was on his second trip to Maine.

He said the person-to-person approach to mutual understand-! ing "is a terrific idea." "This is the only way to get to understand people in different parts of America and to find out what makes them tick," said Van Velzen, aptly summing up the meaning of the program.

The well was dry, and cost the company $1.3 million. Attractive housing for high fidelity components is becoming increasingly popular, but there still are a lot of gaps in the commercial production. The person who owns a preamplifier and amplifier on the same chassis is in the best position to buy a factory-made equipment cabinet. Many can even be had in kit form. But the audio fan with a more elaborate system has a problem.

Few commercial cabinets are able to adequately house a power amplifier, let alone a system that includes a separate power amplifier, a record player and a tape recorder. The few that can be had may not suit individual taste or the particular problems that an individual room will pose. This leaves the seeker of high fidelity furniture for a big system in the position of having his cabinet custom made or making it himself. Whether you make it yourself or have someone else do it, there are problems that have to be considered. If you use a separate power amplifier, you have to find a way to ventilate it.

Most cabinets are made with open backs but that does not guarantee a power amplifier adequate ventilation. Inadequate ventilation will cause the tubes to overheat and wear out sooner than they should. If the enclosure for the amplifier is open on one side, presumably the back, there ought to be a minimum one foot clearance above the instrument. Generally speaking-, if the cabinet is then kept a few inches away from the wall, the amplifier ought to get enough ventilation. But if this amount of clearance is not available or if the amplifier is put into some smaller enclosure, ventilation may have to be forced.

This requires a fan. The difficulty is that most fans will produce vibration. If the fan is moored near the turntable, and even if it is a fan with blades of three inches or so from tip to tip, the vibration is likely to travel right through the framing of the cabinet and induce rumble via the turntable. In odd cases, the might set up hum in the system if it is too near the cartridge. Therefore, the turntable has to be located as far away from the fan as possible.

And a ventilating fan must be as quiet as possible. It is difficult to find a fan that will meet all requirements. One line of fans is made especially for such a purpose. It is sold under the trade name Rotron. The cheapest fan in the line sells for around $15.

This might turn out to be cheap in the long run, however, if it saved you the trouble for repairing an expensive amplifier. Research AUSTIN, Tex.

Engineers who designed a control system that automatically holds the school's indoor temperature at 75 degrees, estimate the underground school will cost only half as much to operate as a conventional air-conditioned school. Viewed from the top, the underground school appears as a concrete slab 200 feet long arid 145 feet wide marked off for a basketball court. Three corners of the slab have brick entrances opening onto stairways going down to the classrooms.

Each room has a built-in projection screen and its own school in the nation also doubles movie and slide projectors and tape recorders.
