New Problems Harass Germany, Burzle Says
While Germany is becoming the new economic Mecca of Europe, economic and political growing pains are causing consternation to the man in the street, according to J. A. Burzle, professor of German.
Recently returning from a year's sabbatical leave of absence from KU, Dr. Burzle spent a year in Munich doing research on the country's contemporary literature.
Terming the Germans in the western zone as the most "Ameri- canized country in Europe" he observed that the materialistic trend is not without its ill effects, similar to those plaguing the U.S.
"They are experiencing an economic recovery equal to none. It's an incredible feat, what they have done in rebuilding the nation in the last few years," Dr. Burzle said.
He explained that Germans have supermarkets, TV, all types of other electrical appliances, and many automobiles.
"Women have taken on a new role. They used to be devoted to the home, but now many housewives are going to work, earning extra money for the added amount of luxuries found there today," he said.
Dr. Burzle said that since more and more housewives have left the home some children are being referred to as "key children" because
Weary Marines Brace For Rest of Long Hike
LONE PINE, Calif. - (UPI) A column of weary marines rested their aching feet here Monday in preparation for the second half of their scheduled 175-mile hike.
The leathernecks, members of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, Calif., began the grueling march last Monday from 10 miles south of the Death Valley National Monument. Their route was planned to take them from the lowest point—252 feet below sea level in Death Valley—in the continental United States to atop Mt. Whitney, 14,490 feet high.

"In education, the same problems of enrollment, growth and lower academic standards are seen on all levels," Dr. Burzle said. He was quick to point out, however, that this problem is being combatted actively.

Dr. Burzle said many Germans are in doubt about the strength of their democratic system.
"Politically speaking, the Germans are finding their way in a new system of government. During the recent Adenauer crisis the average German felt complete consternation and was deeply annoyed," he said.
This was in reference to the Chancellor's recent decision to vacate the chancellorship for the position of president, which is considered a figurehead position, and then his reversal of the decision to keep his present post. It is felt that if a vote of confidence had been taken, Adenauer would have lost by a sizeable margin.

Dr. Burzle reports that there is less outward concern over the Berlin crisis than there is in the United States.
"The people in West Germany seldom talk about it. They seem to be living in a day-to-day fashion, feeling that if something comes of it, there is nothing they can do about it. They are trying to live life as fully as possible during their recent prosperity.
"The West Germans are still mortally afraid of Russia and the Communist system. They have experienced such a life during the Nazi period—there is never any danger of them accepting the Communist line.
Hope for ultimate reunification for the German state remains in most German hearts he says, but they have no illusions about how distant the dream is in reality.
"They much prefer the status quo to any real change in the German setup as it stands today," he said. They know that any real gain by either side would result in war, a war which would mean not only the end of Germany but of everything."
