DETROIT (U.R) Most Americans don't know how to enjoy a fair, the head of one of the country's largest state fairs believes.

James D. Friel, manager of the Michigan State fair, said that people tn the United States "are in too big a hurry they just skim over the surface and miss the really fine things." Tells of Tour "They could learn a lot from Europeans," Friel said. "People in Italy. France, Belgium and England know how to get their money's worth at a fair, carnival or what have you." Friel recently returned from a flying tour of six Marshall Plan countries where he visited four of the world's largest fairs. He was one of 43 Detroit businessmen on the trip sponsored by the board of commerce.

"People in Milan, Italy-where they have the largest trade fair in the world take two and three days to visit all the exhibits. And by doing that, they get a real education in so many different things. LONDON (Pt Russia has decided to boycott Big Four conferences on the Austrian independence treaty until the Western powers reply to the April 20 Soviet note on Trieste. The note demanded the withdrawal of American, British and Jugoslav occupation troops from Trieste. The Western powers take the view that this has no relation to the Austrian treaty problems.

Georgl N. Zarubin of Russia announced the boycott at the 255th meeting of the Big Four deputy foreign ministers, who have been, trying more than three years to write a treaty establishing Austria as an independent state. Britain, the United States and France called for a new meeting on July 10. Zarubin then presented the conditions on which Russia would be represented. Samuel Reber, the American delegate, acting as chairman, went through the formality of fixing the next meeting for the date the Western Powers agreed upon.

Western delegates have insisted Russia does not want to conclude an Austrian treaty because it would necessitate the withdrawal of her occupation troops from Austria. The driver, Isadore Llchensteln of Toledo, was Informed that two drivers had been forced off the road by his recklessness and their cars damaged. In all, six drivers offered to sign complaints against him. After an hour of thought. Lichen-stein pleaded guilty to reckless driving before Justice Philp.

and was fined $38. The drivers whose cars were damaged were Clayton VanOrder and Hal Shaffer, both of Albion. At 9:15 p. Russell Shupp, 284 Hubbard, missed a turn on the old M-9 near Richland and rolled his car over. He was scratched but not hurt otherwise.

State police reported three fatal accidents yesterday in the area covered by the Jackson state police post. "It was the same at all the fairs I visited," Friel said. "Families came to the fair with a basket lunch and spent the day. And they came back the next day to absorb more knowledge about the things on display." Friel said the Milan fair attracted nearly 4,000,000 persons during its 18 days. "I'm still puzzled how they did it," he said, "Milan isn't half as big as Detroit and we had about a fourth that many people at our centennial fair last year." Held Aid to Unity However, Friel pointed out the Milan event was a trade fair while Michigan's is agricultural.

"But they tell me the agricultural fair in the fall attracts just as many," he said. Friel said that America Is "missing the boat by not having more trade fairs. "Trade fairs are helping unite Europe more than anything else. I think It 'wouldn't be a bad idea to have more of them over here. Californlans would get a much better picture of what we In Michigan produce and we'd get a better slant on California.

Friel said he will "go all out" to help land an international trade fair for Detroit next year. "In the meantime we're going to try and convert Detroiters and out-staters on how to really enjoy a fair. Our first 'subjects' will be persons attending this year's Michigan State fair," Friel said. Electricians COLEMAN PLANS ACTION State Senator Creighton R. Coleman when advised that the army expects to remove most of the equipment from Percy Jones, said he will contact Dr.

Robert F. Steadman, the state controller, and endeavor to arrange to have state representatives sent to Washington this week to see what can be done to hold the property for the state. "I am not too concerned with beds, linens, pots and pans and dishes and similar equipment, because they Co not present such a problem," Mr. Coleman said. "I do want the state to obtain If possible the operating room equipment, x-ray equipment, physical therapy equipment, kitchen and laundry Installations, machine shop tequip-ment and coal-handling equipment, which Is not only difficult to obtain but also very Removal of such equipment could delay materially the reopening of the hospital as a state institution, since the state would have to order new equipment after an appropriation was made by the state legislature and then wait for delivery, Mr.

BIRTHS Royal Ire Clouds Iloiievmoon of Egypt's Princess SAN FRANCISCO (P) Egypt's comely little Princess Fathia and her new husband began the third day of their long-postponed honeymoon Saturday reportedly on the sands of Monterey peninsula's Pebble Beach. But in contrast to the soft Pacific winds now brushing the young couple, the future confronting Princess Fathia and husband Riad Ghali appeared to be far from balmy.

Unless Fathla's brother. King Farouk of Egypt, drops the tempo of his ire, Ghali must depart from the United States for Cairo by June 16. That is the deadline the immigration service set after King Farouk summarily cancelled the new bridegroom's visa In protest to his sister's marrying a commoner and a non-Moslem. The 31-year-old Ghali did his utmost to minimize the king's grievances. He renounced his coptic Christian faith Thursday night just before his Moslem wedding to Fathia and embraced the religion of Mohamet.

However, the Dowager Queen Nazli, Fathia's mother, indicated that her son is still unrelenting. From her luxurious hotel home of the past two years atop San Francisco's Nob Hill, the queen mother said Farouk is censoring all news of Ghali's Moslem conversion. "The censors have refused to let any word that Ghali is a Moslem through to the people of Egypt," lamented the queen, who has struggled a month for her youngest daughter's right to wed whom she chooses.

In the Services Percy Jones (Br United Preaa) Michigan rolled up the nation's highest toll of violent deaths Saturday as fine weather and the four-day Memorial Day holiday sent near-record number of Americans over highways across the country. State and national safety officials warned that the toll would be heavy.

By Saturday evening, Michigan held the dubious distinction of having recorded 15 of the nation's 58 casualties as many as the entire three-day state Memorial toll in 1949.

Huron, made some loud demands that nothing be taken out of the hospital before it is turned over to the state. At the time, federal officials indicated they would leave the equipment for the state, but now high ranking government medical sources say the army is required by law not to dispose of any medical equipment that "is not surplus to mobilization needs." And it was explained that if any of the equipment at Percy Jones had been surplus, it would have been declared surplus and turned over to the old War Assets Administration months ago. Now, however, the army Is hard-pressed to meet Its need for beds.

One of the ermy's top medical men said that he and the others have watched "an entirely new conception develop" in the matter of hospital bed needs. Army Too Has Needs Actually, he said, the army probably would need most of the equipment at Percy Jones for use In other installations. While the army would like to cooperate with whoever gets Percy Jones and give away as much equipment as possible, he said, the law says it cannot be done. And the army does not expect to see any change in the law between now and the tune Percy Jones Is abandoned. Meanwhile, It was estimated that if the hospital is turned over to the Mrs.
