B—i4 Embarrassing Moments Mark | Bethesda Pupil’s Trip Abroad Has Brush With Storm Trooper During Ber- lin Parade. Onece Stranded Because Agent Never Heard of Traveler’s Checks. “Even if cookies do cost 20 cents | apiece in Prance,” said Richmond | Paine, 16, amateur “globe trotter” and student at the Bethesda High School, who just returned from .| three-month tour of Europe, “ was one of the second group of Americans eyer to dine at the former Kaiser's | palace and eat from his dishes.” | Paine's voyage, which took him to | 11 European countries and England. brought him into many uncomfortable snd embarrassing situations. Once he was stranded in & small Polish town called Thorn, with enough traveler's checks to pay his passage across the Atlantic, but he was un- able to use this scrip because the ticket agent had never heard of traveler's checks. With his scant knowledge of German, he was able to beg passage of a conductor on & slow train which eventually landed him in Warsaw. There he was able to exchange his checks for Polish money and a railroad ticket, The Bethesda High School student’s failure to salute the Nazi flag during | a parade in Berlin, Germany, was the | aceasion for a street scuffie with a | Hitler Storm Trooper that nearly landed him in jail. The officer chided Paine for his lack of patriotic real, jabbing him in the ribs and ex- hibiting threatening gestures. The free-for-all terminated when some German friends came to the young American’s aid, explaining that Paine was a foreigner, and was, therefore, | not obligated to salute the flag.

By the Associated Press, SAN FRANCISCO, October 2.— Employes and union longshoremen called a meeting to resume contract | negotiations today after approving a | 15-day truce as labor difficulties thretened disruption to Coast shipping. ‘The longshoremen, major group in Pacific commerce, and the employers deadlocked a few weeks ago when the International Longshoremen’s Associ- ation refused to grant arbitration of | all issues not settled by direct nego- | tiation.
