German Correspondent
Making Alaskan Tour
“Alaska’s hospitality is match
ed only by that in Siam”.
That’s the statement of Mr. and
Mrs. Leopold Fiedler, employes I
of the Cologne, Germany, news- ,
paper “Neue Illustrierte” (New j
Illustrated) who arrived on the
University of Alaska campus last
week after traveling 58.000 miles !
in a German Volkswagen the past
two years.
During this time they have
driven from Germany to Egypt
and back, then boarded a ship to
Canada whence they drove to Al
aska.
Friedler and his wife write ar- 1
tides for the 800.000 circulation
newspaper. He also is a photo
grapher. They send in their arti
cles whenever they can stop long
enough to do so. Emblazoned on
the sides of their Volkswagen is
their present goal “Egypt to Al
aska.’ Fiedler has been a special
correspondent for 25 years.
“We hear in Germany there
is a great Doom in Alaska, rneci
ler explained. “We feel Alaska
is the future country of the
world.”
The Friedlers drove over the (
Alaska highway which they lab
eled “worfd famous”.
“It is a technical and physical
masterpiece and we’ll do a story 1
abfcut it,” Fiedler said.
They came to the University of i
Alaska to converse with Dr.
Willibald Weniger, professor of
physics and head of the depart
ment of physics and electrical en- \
gineering. (
The couple said the friendli- r
ness of Alaska’s people has im- t
pressed them the most, and that
he hospitality is matched only by ,
that in Siam.
The Fiedlers said they’ll try to
cover every place possible by road
in the territory. They plan to be
on the road for another year be
fore they return to Germany.
They want to remain in Alaska
until the first permanent snow
falls. Then they’ll return to the !
