Hutchins R 1963 Ocean Trip Karachi Jan. 21 the teacher and a supervisor administer the exam. Internal exams for upper classes count 25%. They consist of written tests and tutorials, the latter oral reports to class teacher. I asked Mrs. Qurrashahi about the "Mullah". She said the caller is called a "Mozan" and the call for prayer "Azan". In the evening I went to Wm. O. Halla's residence, Deputy Chief of Mission, for a party. The affair was for military personnel - all high brass - air force, navy, army, evidently U.S. people brought from London to this area for familiarization with the Ocean setting -- I presume, should the command shift to this area. Some 50 people present - all men. Only about 5% were local military, including some Pakistanis. Met a Capt C. B. Collins, U.S.N., who had had WW II experience on a destroyer, He was sunk at The Solomons & lost over 50 men. His son is interested in math and is in the American school - a boy of 15. Collins is on the school board. (Home phone 40833; Nice 20041/33).
