Moiseyev and Bolshoi groups (and
a remarkably unpatronized movie
process called Kinephotorama),
all honors here go to the Ameri-

doing so as long as jazz, Walt Dis-

around.
A COLOR television studio

must be rated the second attrac-

American pavilion. Americans as
well as Europeans line up for this
one.
But there are other highspots: a
mechanical hand for handling
r a d i o a c t i v e materials always
draws about 200 people when it
is demonstrated, and a display
of voting machines creates a fu-
ror. Here the European voters get
a chance to try these machines
out by indicating certain Ameri-
can favorites in various cate-
gories. For example: Kim Novak
leads the list of actresses, Louis
Armstrong, musicians, and Albert
Einstein, immigrants.
Among American schools, Har-
vard ranks first; sad to say, the
University stands ninth of 10 pos-
sible choices, ahead only of Mid-
dlebury. In addition, a small ma-
jority of voters regard English and
American as separate languages.
THE RUSSIANS, by contrast,
have few standout attractions,
but they have presented some-
thing of everything, with a more
or less general theme of "From
Wooden Plows to Sputniks."
