Shastri Plea On Prices Fails to Click
NEW DELHI, India — (UPI)— Indian merchants are not giving any breathing spell to new Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri in his fight to check soaring prices.
Echoes of Shastri's oath-taking ceremonies still were ringing in the President's palace when Bombay cloth merchants announced 10 per cent price hikes.
According to the influential financial express of Bombay food prices have risen from 10 to 30 per cent in the past 45 days.
Shastri's declaration of war on inflation at his first press conference was met with continued food price increases in most of the heavily populated states.
SHASTRI REALIZES that with the magnetic personality of the late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru now removed from the political scene, the Congress Party which has ruled India since independence in 1947 must check inflation or face certain defeat in the 1967 general elections.
He feels that whereas the personal appeal of Nehru could dull voters' memories of government failures, Congress could become a minority party for the first time unless it can implement Nehru's theories and goals.
Although the soft spoken prime minister has not yet outlined specific methods by which he expects to halt rising prices and eradicate poverty, he has indicated he will adopt a tough stand on these problems.
THE ACTION by two leading textile mills in Bombay caused surprise in official circles here. The 10 per cent price increase came at a time when the government was considering methods to boost prices on certain varieties of cloth without the resulting price increases to the consumer.

IFYE Delegate Finds German Life Much Like That on Kansas Farm
The most striking difference was that all the farmers in the area lived in a village. Each farmer's house, barn and other buildings occupied not more than a half acre.
Editor's Note: James Cormode, Lancaster junior, an International Farm Youth Exchange delegate to Germany from April to November, has written of his experiences. A former member of the Atchison County Shannon 4-H Club, Cormode was state award winner in the electric project in 1961 and served as president of his club and county 4-H club council.
"It looked different, but somehow it was home." That was my reaction after two weeks with my first host family here in Germany. The house, barns, landscape and language were all different, but I felt as at home as if I were in Lancaster.
MANY EVENINGS after supper and Sunday afternoons were spent visiting and discussing affairs of the day. There was not too much of the socializing where the neighbors in the village came to the house and spent the evening. This type of social life was more with friends from a neighboring village.
The landscape was quite different from Kansas. I was living in North Hesse, which is northeast from Frankfort on the Main. The principal features were low, rolling mountains with forests at the tops and farmland in the valleys. In this part of Germany most valleys have only a small creek flowing through them and so there is not much land that is very level. My first thought was that erosion was surely a major problem here. To my surprise, it was not. The soil is sandy and absorbs the slow, gentle rain very rapidly.
THE FIRST WEEK it rained continually. Not hard, just slow and light. Most of the time I wasn't even aware that it was raining, but everything was a little damp and wet. My host father and I spent the week building fence.
The work went easily, so we were
able to talk a great deal. He spoke no English and my German was very poor, but it was not as difficult as it might seem. He had an excellent understanding of what it was to be in a country that spoke a different language. He had had a similar experience once in Russia and had learned Russian as he went along. We talked constantly in German. When I did not understand a word, he would explain it in German until I did understand. This was better for my German than having it explained in English. He checked my comprehension by having me explain to him what I understood the word to mean.
THEN FOR HIS personal pleasure, I would have to tell him the corresponding English word. Many times these comparisons proved quite interesting. The high point of our comparisons came the day I picked up an earth worm and he asked, "How is that called?" Well, he had me stumped — I did not know its German name, so just for fun I answered in English, "fish worm."
With a glowing exclamation he said, "Quite right! And how is it called in English?" When I explained I had used English words, he thought it a good joke that both English and German said "fish worm" for an earth worm. (The correct German name when translated is earth worm.)
THE MOST interesting experience has been learning that people are people. The people here want about the same things from life as do my fellow Kansans at home. When I look only at the people and forget about the different buildings, landscape, and language, it is hard to tell where I am.
I went to a political meeting in our village a few nights ago. The issues discussed were: school consolidation, revision of absentee voting procedures, air pollution, better water sanitation via construction of a common sewer system for the entire valley, and a few pointed comments about the major opposition party.

ANOTHER EPISODE came one Sunday afternoon. That afternoon the American-made TV western "Fury" was on television here—the sound track was in German. My host family had one of the 10 television sets in our village. About 5 minutes before the show began, in walked the family's youngest son and six neighbor boys. Everyone was very quiet and orderly and 30 minutes later when the program was finished the neighbor boys went home.

My host father did not approve. He did not waste any words telling the son that it was not to become a regular thing for the neighbors to come in and take all the space in the TV room. When he had finished with the son, he turned to me and asked, "Do you have that in America, too?" I smiled, remembering four nights earlier when he had had six neighbor men in to watch soccer and said, "I thought for a minute you were someone from home. It sounded so familiar."

So it goes. I could write many more examples. Everyday gives another example that people are nothing more and nothing less than people. I think that is why it is so easy to feel at home here. I do not notice all of the differences that are on the surface when I see the similarities under the surface.
