SOUTH OF THE BORDER:
Prof. Aiton Advises Travelers
Vacationing In Latin America
PEACETIME USEFULNESS:
Prof. Dow Explains Future
Development in Use of Radar
By JOAN DE CARVAJAL
Students planning to visit Mexico
or any of the countries in Latin
America should be aware of "the
principles that disturb inter-Ameri-
can relations," Prof. Arthur S. Aiton
declared in an interview yesterday.
The movies have given the average
Latin American a "distorted" idea
of people in the United States, Prof.
Aiton said. He often thinks that we
possess great wealth, have uncom-
mendable behavior and are surround-
ed by an aura of lawlessness, the last
giving rise to the term "gangster-
ismo."
Spanish Language Preferred
The idea of many North Ameri-
cans that English is the only langu-
age to be spoken and the only one
that matters is an entirely wrong at-
titude, he said. Latin Americans are
pleased at the mere attempt to speak
their language, regardless of what
kind of success one has.
The "it doesn't matter" attitude
also manifests itself in a failure to
become familiar with the local cus-
toms of the town where you may be
staying. A knowledge of the local
h+yroes or of a local musician who
has "made good" can do much to
insure the visitor's popularity. One
should also be acquainted with the
local fiesta days.
Social Customs Upheld
Familiarity with the various social
customs is indispensable. The ex-
change of calling cards of necessity
precedes any invitation by either
native or traveler. Letters of intro-
duction, he stressed, are of the ut-
most importance to Latin Americans.
"We don't attach to them the signifi-
cance that they do," he said.
Future visitors to any of the re-
publics are warned to prepare for all
climates with appropriate clothing.
This may be difficult if you have a
limited baggage weight in air travel;
but Quito, Ecuador's capitol, has an
extremely cool climate even though
on the equator.
Prof. Aiton asserted that in the
Latin American republics family life
is a tightly bound unit which should
-be respected. But once you are ad-
mitted into it, you frequently find
that you are a friend of not only the
immediate family but all the relatives
in the country.
Avoid Excessive Admiration
Above all, don't admire excessive-

ATHENS PRESS
ly anything that a Latin American
may show you from his possessions,
Prof. Aiton warned. While they are
pleased by expressions of admiration,
they will feel strongly obliged to give
it to you. In this case the best one
can say is that the object is already
"en buenas manos" and should re-
main there.
However, Latin Americans are com-
plimentary by saying what they think
you would like to hear them say and
they like you to reciprocate their
flattery, even though it may seem
to be rather excessive.
Students or other visitors to Latin
America should stay out of local
po iics, Prof. Aiton said, with par-
ticular reference to Mexico, where a
presidential election will be held this
summer. Of course, he added, the
people may ask you directly what you
think of the candidates or of the pos-
sible outcome. To this one can safe-
ly say that "it's up to you Mexicans"
and then change the discussion.
Get To Know People
Visiting North Americans are ad-
vised not to devote all their time to
the foreign colonies and groups in
the Latin American republics. By'
getung out and meeting the people,
one can become better acquainted
with their way of life and with their
country and recognize the sense of
dignity and worth of the individual.
Prof. Aiton cautioned those who
eat native foods to be extremely care-
ful. Everyone should avoid uncooked
foods, especially salads. But at the
same time one should try to avoid
offending his host by rejecting too
outwardly an unfamiliar dish. It
takes practice, he commented.
Cultural Interest Respected
If a visitor to any of the republics
can convincingly show a genuine in-
terest in Latin American culture, he
will go a long way in overcoming
a strong prejudice existing there
against North American indifference
to things cultural. Prof. Aiton sug-
gested attending art exhibits and
said that several of the countries
have' fine symphonies and- opera
houses.
The most important thing to re--
member, Prof. Aiton declared, is that
no one can generalize about the Lat-
in American countries or even about
a single country. The various local
areas should be studied separately
and for their own characteristics.

POPULAR SCIENCE "RIDING THE HICKORY"
PARAMOUNT NEWS Oddity
Coming "SARATOGA TRUNK"
Sunday
By JOHN CAMPBELL
There is no doubt h:hatsoever that
n the future every ship with a ra-
dio will also be equipped with radar
rof. William G. Dow of the electrical
engineering department said yester-
day.
"Radar equipment is universally in-
stalled in war ships,", he said. -and
i is normal to expect that all pas-
senger ships and freighters of any
size will be equipped with radar navi-
gational devices in the future." Cap-
tains of such ships will no more think
of taking a ship out without radar
than without a compass, he predicted.
Captain Can Feel Confident
Because of the new ralar equip-
ment, Prof. Dow said, the captain
of a ship can feel perfectly confi-
dent in his ability to follow a course
safely in the most adverse weather
conditions. It is now actually pos-
sible, he said, to sail a ship into New
York harbor in a thick fog guided
by radar alone.
The ship's radar equipment now
being developed for use in commercial
vessels, he said, is the outgrowth of
apparatus that has proved its merits:
in war use. Prof. Dow explained that
delay in the installation of radar
navigational equipment should not
be attributed to any doubts concern-
ing its value or importance. "Mili-
tary radar designs are not, in their
present form, adaptable to peace-
time use, so that design changes must
be made."
The officer on the bridge, he ex-
plained, will have constantly before
him a radar picture on the disk-like
face of a seven-inch cathode ray
tube. The Plan Position Indicator,
known to radar technicians as the
"P.P.I.," shows water surfaces as
dark areas, while any obstacles, such
as ships, buoys and shorelines, will

appear in a bright fluoirescent pat-
tern. Ships will be shown graphically,
vhile shorelines will appear as on

This radar equipment will not only
protect ships from collisions with
ether ships. Prof. Low pointed out,
but will also protect the ship from
dangerous reefs. The P.P.I. does not
pick up the reefs themselves since
they are submerged, he emphasized,
but it does pick up the buoys which
are plotted on the map and serve to
indicate the exact position of the
ship. Since the reefs are also plotted
an the map they can be avoided if
the exact position of the ship is
known.
Tests Conducted
Preliminary tests;on radar equip-
ment for commerical navigation have
already been conducted. Radar equip-
m'ent installed in the USS City of
Ric hmond of the Old Bay Line be-
tween Baltimore and Norfolk is in-
tended to give protection in darkness,
fog and other types of bad weather
for distances from 100 yards to 32
miles. The Chesapeake is considered
an excellent testing ground because
of its heavy traffic, its irregular
shoreline and its famous fogs.
War-developed radar will also play
an important part in patrolling the
North Atlantic for icebergs in ship-
ping lanes in the re-established In-
ternational Ice Patrol,
The rescue and ice-breaking cut-
ters, according to the U.S. Coast
Guard, will be equipped with radar
to assist in locating icebergs during
low visibility. The patrolled area,
through which passes the world's
heaviest ocean traffic, is located in
the general region of the Grand
Banks of Newfoundland land is
blanketed by fog a large part of the
time.
