'Success in South America Depends On Degree of Achievement in U.S.'
BY REVERDY MULLINS
(Daily Kansai Staff Writer)
"South America is no plum ripe for picking," declared Sullivan C. Richardson, writer, photographer, and trail blazer of the Pan-American highway who is on the campus lecturing and showing films on that country.
country. "Only those succeed in South America, who would have succeeded here, those with whom success is a habit," he said. "One man with a dream can't change geography, people, undeveloped country and governments."
In 1940 Richardson and two companions drove the first passenger car down the uncompleted Pan-American highway from Detroit to Cape Horn. Formerly a newspaperman, he has made seven films for the Office of Inter-American Affairs and short subjects for Warner Brothers.
"Opportunities in South America lie in the expansion of North American trade," he stated. "A person planning such a career should first buy a roundtrip ticket to South America, go there, get a job, know the people, their language and country, and then come back. Only then will he be ready, for American concerns operating there will not hire men who know nothing of the country."
"With the exception of Brazil where the language is Portuguese, Spanish is spoken in all of the countries and even a tourist should know a little. Any one intending to work in South America or do any selling there must speak the language fairly well," he advised.
"Despite the fact that the South American people look at us questioningly, wondering just what our intentions are, they do not hold it against a man because he is a North American. Rather," he said, "they accept him or reject him according to his own merits."
Commenting on Argentina, Richardson said that we must distinguish the people from the government. Argentinans are not pro-Nazi but are pro-Argentina. They string along with Feron because he appeals to the masses with his policies of wage increases and bonuses. "As long as they get what they want, they don't care who gives it to them," he added.
Richardson has lectured to classes and to the Press Club during his visit as well as giving color movielectures in Fraser theater. His tour is under the auspices of the Association of American Colleges and the Dodge and Plymouth division of The Chrysler Motor Corporation.
'Bat,' Radar-Guided Bomb, Was Navy Secret Weapon
New York, (UP)—The bat, a radar guided robot-bomb, was disclosed by the navy today as one of the secret weapons used in defeating the Japanese navy.
The 200-pound bomb, when released from an airplane, unerringly sped to its target, no matter how devious was the enemy's maneuvering.
The bat was perfected late in the war, and did not see service in the Pacific until the spring of 1945, although thousands were mass produced by the Western Electric company, the announcement said.
The glide-bomb carried it own radar equipment and when aimed at the target piloted itself with no further help from the mother ship.

Cage Lineup Changed Again
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen changed the Jayhawker lineup yesterday for the third time this week trying to find* the best combination to pit against the Aggies Monday night.
Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher, Ray Evans, and Wendell Clark are regarded as sure starters for the Jayhawkers, but there is still some doubt as to who will draw the other post. Jack Ballard and Gene Peterson both worked on the first team earlier this week, but Owen Peck was used at the fifth spot yesterday.
Ray Evans has been shifted to the quarterback position on the Jayhawer firing line, and this leaves his guard spot open. Allen is expected to assign the task of guarding Bob Kurland to Ballard or Peterson. However, if he does not use one of these men, Charlie Black undoubtedly get this assignment.
Howard Engleman, only two-time All-American basketball player in Jayhawker history, has worked out with the squad this week. Engleman has one year of eligibility left but is a graduate student, and this makes him ineligible in the Big Six.
