are reaching a crescendo today.
Feb. 8 Dart left this morning for Singapore and
Hong Kong. I will go to Kuching, Sarawak,

Visited the Peace Corps people today -
Mr. Butler, the Director, his Assoc.
Rep., Mr. Thomas A. Sullivan and two
secondary school teachers; David
Sterling from Birmingham, N.Y. and
Arnold Deutschman, N.Y.
Butler is a talk-balling man in his early
30's, a former Republican lawyer from San
Francisco. Sullivan is a raven-haired,
blackhaired, thin man in his 30's, from
Kansas. He has been here only 1 mo.
Deutschman, a young physics teacher,
had been here 8 mos. and Sterling,
a biology teacher had only been actually
teaching for 2 weeks. Deutschman
was the most helpful to me.
