PAGE FOUH Looking Away From Scandinavia Press Correspondent Says Budapest Man Enjoying "Deadly Spring" Instead Of Troops, Happy Couples Are Strolling Along The Banks Of The Danube By HENRY T. GORRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent) BUDAPEST, April 10 The much dreaded springtime is here, and the man-in-the-street, who has been wor rying all winter about what it might hold for the valley of the "Blue Dan ube" shows signs of casting gloom to the four winds, relaxing, and enjoying it. They called it the "deadly spring" around here, for with it had been ex pected a general spreading of the war, together with mobilization throughout southeastern Europe, blackouts rationining and all the other bitter ingredients. But rather than regiments of troops marching through the streets with a heavy clank of hob-nailed boots, happy couples are strolling arm-in-arm along the banks of the Danube. In stead of the anticipated rumble of cannon and scream of air-raid sirens, Gypsy music fills the air. Cafes have started their open-air business. Flowers are growing in abundance, with violets in the majority. With the exception of the absence of tourists, the spring of 1940 in gay Budapest re sembles those of former years. FUTURE BLOTTED OUT "Things may change overnight . . . many of us may soon be dead . . . but why not enjoy life while we still have it?" that is the attitude of the man-in-the-street. Perhaps nature has done the trick, or it may have been the peace in Fin land. At any rate tension here, which reached its peak early in March, has visibly relaxed. The general attitude now is quite different from that prevailing in Buda- pest during the winter, which was one f the longest and hardest m decades, Along with bitter cold and heavy snows, the atmosphere was static with scores of alarming rumors. The war of nerves weighed heavily on the hearts ef the normally carefree Hungarian. Pessimism was widespread; people made merry in seeming haste, and had a tendency to drink more titan was good for them. There were many sources of worry, chief among them the prospects of a Russian invasion of the Balkans or trouble in the Middle East with simul taneous conflict in Hungary and Ru mania and possibly Yugoslavia. The average man hasn't dismissed these and other possibilities. He knows bet ter, because Hungary for generations has been a battlefield for mightier people, among them the Germans, Turks and Mongols. However, peace in Scandinavia and the smell of fresh flowers has made him more of an op timist. SYMPATHY FOR FINLAND Not that Hungarians were pleased with the Finnish peace. Their first re action was one of depression because being distantly related to the Finns, they had identified themselves with the cause of their northern brothers. In fact many Hungarians volun teered to fight in the Finnish army, but reportedly got no farther than England. After the first impact, de pression gave way to a general feel ing that the northern peace has mate rially lessened prospects of war in southeastern Europe. The chief argument of the average Hungarian (and he's too much of an idealist to be a good military strate gist, although he'll fight like a demon -rcVon tnroeA tn is that Russia and Germany now are going to take it WW VM easy and let the Allies make the first move. JUOSt people nere nave respect for the Allies and feel they will make that move sooner or later, but think that it won't involve Hun gary and the Balkans. Ask them why they think that way, and you won't get a ready answer. Perhaps its wishful thinking. There is more talk here now of the prospects of the war assuming serious proportions in the West than in the Middle East although there is general apprehension lest Britain send its fleet through the Dardanelles into the Black Sea to blockade shipments of Soviet oil to Germany through Ru mania. If this occurs and Germany and Eassia, retaliate, most people concede that the Balkans will become in volved. STRICTLY NEUTRAL IN TALK To prove their strict neutrality and the fact that above all, they are for their country only, Hungarians freely discuss the merits and faults of both the Germans ahd Russians and the Allies, along with their leaders.

Ed Maner, Louis Ham lin, Joe Dawson, and Phil Ellis, tour ed the Northeast and the New Eng land states debating Randolph-Macon women's team, American university in Georgia, George Washington univer sity in Washington, Maryland uni versity in College Park, Boston uni versity in Boston, and University of Pennsylvania. In accordance with the current cus tom, all debates on the trip were non decision. According to Ed . Maner, regular member of the team, this practice is advantageovs since it opens up debating, and allows for a wider discussion of the subject. Michigan Professor Says Intelligence Hereditary "Like Father, Like son" and the old adage holds for intelligence, too! 0 That's the conclusion of the Univer sity of Michigan's Professor Walter B. Pillsbury, who has just concluded a study of the hereditary intelligence of Michigan. He has discovered that there is al most as much correlation between the marks of father and son as there is between the marks a student receives in high school and college. Because there is such conclusive evidence, "one might even use member ship in a family with a good scholastic I record as a basis of admission to the university," the Michigan psychologist concludes. but its more to avoid offending a neighbor with opposite views than to dodge secret service agents, of which there are comparatively few. Recently Allied prestige has suffered here, largely due to the Finnish peace, but there are many dance orchestras that still feature the British popular song "Well Hang Up Our Washing on the Siegfried Line." The other night this correspondent heard the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Save the King" played ever so softly at the end of an evening's entertainment in a popular night club. The manager ex plained it was a gesture of courtesy to his American and English patrons. cAfissjJasta jPcdersen . . the smiling hostess who welcomes guests at one of New York's most famous hotels.

The first entry read: "09.20 hours: On watch." Forty-eight minutes later the plane was heading out to sea, and this was the report: "10.08 hours: All quiet, visibility about 2 miles crossing the British coast at 1,200 feet." One hour later the diary recorded that all was quiet, but the altitude was 11,000 feet and oxygen was being used. The entries continued "All quiet!" Visibility has improved to about 10 miles and the outline of the German coast can be seen. It is "all quiet" to within a quarter mile of the coast. IN ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE "13.24 hours: The leaders of the for mation gives the attack signal to all his aircraft. Within one minute we were fired on by A. A. (anti-aircraft) guns, but the aim was very poor. This fire came from a battery of four guns on'an island." "13.30 hours: Attacked by fighters, twins and singles. One single, one double shot down. Twin fighter fall ing from 10,000 feet, hitting water." "13.40 hours: Single fighter glided down to water from 10,000 feet ap peared to alight O. K." BATTLE ON; NO NOTES For the next five minutes there was no entry. The battle was on. Then: "13.45 hours: Second single fighter dropped in flames." A minute later the diary noted that the formation had come down to 10, 000 feet. The report aded: "Visibility good. Rear gunner reports one more M. E. 110 (Messerschmidt pursuit type) shot down." "13.50 hours: Another M. E. 110 seen falling out of control." "13.51 hours: Battle over. All quiet."
