The chance to serve as an assistant English teacher in Germany is being offered through grants from the International Educational Exchange Program of the State Department.

Requirements are United States citizenship, a bachelor's degree or its equivalent, working knowledge of 35 years or under, and good health.
Special consideration is given persons with teaching experience, master's degrees, preparation in English or history, broad experience in extracurricular activities, and knowledge of American history, institutions and educational practices.

Combating Propaganda Was His War Work
Although most of the conversation coming from Dr. Leo Gershoy, who gave the first humanities lecture here last night, has been devoted to the seemingly remote 18th century, the New York University history professor can cite a time when he dealt in only day-to-day history.
Dr. Gershoy served as consultant to the United States government in several capacities during World War II. Unable to take the long range view, he often had to make daily and weekly reports on such phases of war effort as analysis of enemy propaganda and counter propaganda which Americans used.
For a short time he served as consultant for the Office of Strategic Services in 1942, was principle analyst of the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service, 1943-44, and was the chief regional specialist for the France overseas branch of the Office of War information in 1944-45.
Worked In Washington
Most of the wartime work was controlled from an office in Washington, Dr. Gershoy said. He did not go to France until 1945.
While with the OSS Dr. Gershoy's job was to find dependable Frenchmen in sympathy with allied aims to be placed in positions of government control in the coastal area after the invasion of France.
Foreign Service Exams Set
A weekly report on the aims of
Applications for Foreign Service examinations must be filed not later than Friday for the examination on Dec. 9, 1955. Anyone interested in taking this examination should apply by Friday. This test is given only once a year.
To be eligible for the Foreign Service you should be at least 20 and under 31 years of age, a United States citizen of at least ten years' standing, and if married, married to an American citizen. Beginning salaries for Foreign Service Officers range from $4400 to $5500 depending on age and experience. Many additional benefits are also included.
Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, said he will help anyone who is interested in making out an application. He has sample tests, information and application forms at his office, Strong Annex A, and will be there most of tomorrow to answer all questions.
enemy propaganda in Western Europe occupied his time while he was with the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service. Through analysis of the current enemy line, information secured was passed on to allied propaganda agencies.
Recalls A Bombing
He recalled that after American pilots bombed the cathedral of Rouen about 60 miles west of Paris, the Germans seized on the act as "an example of criminal and savage action by Americans who do not understand culture or have appreciation for such historical places."
"It was one of the hardest things the Americans had to answer." Dr. Dr. Gershoy said, "but we always told the truth and usually won the confidence of the people."
Dr. Gershoy participated in disseminating the American information policy when he worked in the Office of War Information, "Part of the job there was to attempt to give instructions to the French people on what to expect when the country was invaded by the Allies," he said.
American Program Effective
Speaking of the effectiveness of the American information program, Dr. Gershoy said it was possible to smell out what the enemy was planning in the way of propaganda.
While in France after the liberation, he said he was impressed with the response of the people to the American campaigns.
"After the liberation persons would line up for hours trying to get press reports and pamphlets that we issued," he added.

$500 Business Awards Set Up
Establishment of the Union Wire Rope Corporation scholarship in industrial management in the School of Business was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The Union Wire Rope Corp. Kansas City, Mo., will provide $500 annually for a senior in industrial management, who will be selected in the spring of his junior year. The first scholarship will be for 1956-57.
"This scholarship is especially gratifying in that it is the first at KU for this course of study, which is growing in popularity." Dr. Murphy said.
Industrial management students normally enroll their first two years in the School of Engineering and Architecture and take the junior and senior years in the School of Business. Several options are provided as to type of industry emphasized.
Scholars will be chosen on the basis of scholarship, personal qualities for the field, character and need of financial assistance. If other
qualities are equal, preference is to be given sons of Union Wire Rope employees. Besides the $500, the recipient will be offered summer employment following his junior year.
The scholars will be selected by the dean of the School of Business working with an aids and awards committee appointed by the chancellor, and acceptance by the company. In setting up the award, the corporation expressed the hope that recipients would later in life extend similar help to University students.
