South America - Uncommon, Uncommercial, Undiscovered The last great, and largely undiscovered, continent of South America Is excitingly on the move, and bidding a Yankee, come south welcome to U.S. tourists. What the tourists find when they get there is an unspoiled, uncommercial atmosphere in which live a happy, polite people eager to get to know these gringos. When a gaucho in Argentina or Uruguay extends his hand it is not to receive a tip but shake someones elses, according to the South American Travel Organization. In fact, tipping in many places, especially among tax drivers, is not expected! Friendliness manifests itself in a million ways. An Indian in Panamas San Bias islands suddenly thrusts forth his favorite appliqued mola for your inspection, and then shares a piece of fish he's grilling. An Ecuadorian government worker stops everything to give you a history lesson on a street in Guaquil. A Bolivian tour guide invites you to his home. In spite of this, when the novice traveler thinks of the continent he is apt to concentrate until heremembers a rebellion, a coup, a period of political unrest as if these were the sole prerogatives of South America. The fact is incidents, like these are quite few and far between. One Argentinian was quoted by American travel agents paper recently as saying: If the U. S. could learn to look upon South American revolutions with the same calm they viewed French cabinet crises of the '50s, wed all be better off. The generals and the politicians come and go, but the people who really run the country remain.

Davie, Taft Institute Contract Winners AT&T Asks Increase In Rate Hike For Long Distance American Telephone and Telegraph Co. last week asked the Federal Communications Commission for an increase in long dance interstate telephone rates. The increases are centered on calls requiring operator assistance, such as person to person, credit card, collect and coin calls which are more costly to provide. Smaller increases are now planned for station calls dialed by customers during the busy week day day time hours, according to C. H. Totten, district manager for Mountain Bell. Not all the rates would be increased. Rates on evening, night or week end calls that customers complete without operator assistance will remain the same or in some cases be reduced. Thus the individual caller can avoid any increase by calling in low rate hours and dialing calls without operator assistance. Even with the increases rate levels for interstate calls are still about 14 per cent below 1953 levels. In the same period, the consumer index rose nearly 47 per cent. The rate changes, to become effective Jan. 19, are designed to produce an additional six per cent ($385 million) in total interstate revenues, he said. This will be the first general increase in interstate long distance rates in 17 years. The rate changes are moderate, but vitally important if the Bell system is to sustain its massive service improvement pro-grand meet fully the nation growing communication needs, Totten said. ma of the problems and processes of the American politcal system. The seminars also encourage the teachers to develop in their students positive attitudes toward the two party system in the U.S., toward politics, politicians and political responsibility. in chairman, are designed to help Utah ranged in the 100 compan-nie- s teachers expand their knowledge receiving the largest dollar volume of military prime contracts in fiscal year 1970, Sen.

These figures are in a new Defense Department report which was provided to the Senator. The Utahn continued, All seven of these firms were also listed in the top 100 contract-winnefor fiscal 1969. Their cumulative total during the '69 period was $2.8 billion. The drop in their total to the fiscal 1970 level of $2.2 billion reflects a general slow down in Defense Department procurement during the latter fiscal year. The Department experienced an overall procurement decline of $5.68 billion or 15 per cent in 1970 compared to 1969.

And yet each country is a world of its own, from tiny Surinam of the Caribbean to Brazil, which is almost as large as the whole U.S., and even more varied. There are extremes, ranging from inpenetrable jungle, much of it unexplored, along the Amazon, to one of the worlds most sophisticated cities, Buenos Aires. Even within a single country there are great contrasts. There is Iquitos, a jungle town at the head of the Amazon straight out of Somerset Maugham, where, only a few miles away the blow pipe wielding Yagua Indians roam. There is Machu Picchu, 9,000 feet in the clouds, the Lost City of the Incas, rediscovered at the beginning of this century after 500 years. There is Lima, another cosmopolitan city, on which the conquering Spaniards lavished their wealth so that the streets almost seem paved with gold.
