Whie was in Europe last year on a destroyer which took midshipmen on their an nual cruise and thus saw much of Europe and visited the fair. He said he liked the U.S. fair exhibit, despite many unfavor able comments by Americans who also had seen it. Cmdr. White said, by tape re cording, he thought the exhibit did exactly what it was intend ed to do, show a cross section of what America and Ameri cans are. Many persons commented that the Russian exhibit was much more impressive because it dis- I played the most striking of Sov iet products. ' Cmdr. White commented that ; the U. S.. didn't need to show ! its industrial products at the I fair, that they are in evidence : all over Europe as regular con j sumer goods. j Harry White was assisted in j showing the slides by Rotarian Ralph Wehrbein, his nephew.
