may seem too simple for this com-
plex age, but a new grass roots
kind of internationalism is span-
ning the Atlantic, without official
red tape, legislative oratory or dip-
lomatic jabberwocky.
It is a spontaneous program by
which American towns are "adopt-
ing" needy European towns and
villages, sending them relief goods
and, more important, developing a
kinship with their old world coun-
terparts.
More than 200 towns scattered
around this country already have
adopted communities in France,
Holland, Italy, Luxembourg and
Germany. Now there's optimistic.
talk about puncturing the Iron'
Curtain and adopting towns in
Poland, Austria, Finland, even
Russia itself.
Creates Friendship
The total money value of food,
clothing, medical supplies and
other things sent abroad probably
is under a million-tiny compared
to official programs - but the
people in the movement are con-
vinced it is kindling friendship and
understanding in a way no govern-
ments ever could.
Telephone operators in New
Rochelle, N.Y., are helping tele-
land, where many Albany war
veterans saw action. Now the two
cities have a 40-week, air-mail
chess match going. Doctors, law-
yers and other professional people
of Neosho County, Kansas, are
corresponding with their voca-
tional counterparts in Zevenberg-
en, Holland.
Operation Democracy
Other trans-oceanic friendships
have developed quickly.
The town-to-town movement
now has a coordinating agency
called Operation Democracy, Inc.,
with headquarters in New York. It
is underwritten by some of the
pioneers in the movement and
raises no funds nor does it solicit
American 'towns to join up. It is
merely an advisory organization,
supplying information on re-
quests.
The movement came before its
coordinating agency. No one is
quite sure where it started first,
but everyone concerned insists is
started spontaneously without
high-power organization.

The Michigan Bell Telephone
Co. came up with it to let callers
know when they dial the letters
of a non-existent exchange. It
admitted it could do nothing about
wrong numbers.
When someone dials the wrong
letters, there comes through the
receiver a siren-like noise. A Bell
spokesman described it as "a high,
wailing sound, like when food
prices go up."
