Prof Tells Of Soviet Invasion
“Tell the world about this,”
Czechoslovakians pleaded to for
eigners leaving the Russian-in
vaded country.
Among the departing foreign
ers doing their part to tell the
world is Dr. Horace R. Blank, a
research geologist who was at
tending the International Geolog
ical Congress in Prague during
the Soviet take-over.
Dr. Blank and his wife just
returned home from the ordeal,
which was followed by a visit
to Germany and Austria.
“We just woke up one morning
and there were the Russian tanks
in the street,” Blank recalled.
“They just came in during the
night and surprised everyone.”
HE SAID he and several other
Americans were staying in a ho
tel about two miles from the
main business district and were
not in any immediate danger.
“The Russians were all around,
but we only heard one shot,”
noted the retired professor who
is now associated with A&M’s
Texas Transportation Institute.
“Our main problem was we did
n’t really know what was going
on,” Dr. Blank continued. “There
were no English newspapers and,
of course, all the radio and tele
vision programs were in Czech.
We had to rely on an occasional
call to the American embassy.”
The U. S. embassy arranged
transportation out of the coun
try for American visitors. The
Blanks departed on the second
outbound train, three days after
the invasion.
DR. AND MRS. Blank, along
with other Americans, were de
briefed by U. S. Army intelligence
personnel upon arrival in Nurem
berg, Germany. He was particu
larly impressed by the “wonder
ful treatment” afforded them by
the Army. The Red Cross also
was on hand.
Blank said the Russian soldiers
seemed well behaved. He and ot
her visitors in Prague walked
around in the city. Nothing hap
pened.
While there was little violence
evident, the Czechs were busy
publishing leaflets stating their
case and annoying the occupation
troops with tactics such as re
moving street signs to confuse
the invaders.
Citizens had been told not to
resist the invasion and risk death
and destruction of the city.
THE A&M researcher said the
universal reaction of Czechs was
one of dismay. He said he did
not encounter a single citizen who
supported the Russian action.
While touring Austria and
Switzerland, Dr. Blank detected
considerable concern about Amer
ican willingness to “stay with”
its commitments in Europe.
“They are very much afraid
that for reasons of economy, or
otherwise, that we might reduce
our European forces,” he ex
plained. “They feel that if tht
Russians can take over Czechos
lovakia in one day . . . .”
The geological meeting which
Blank was attending was a cas
ualty of the invasion. It was to
have run 11 days but broke up
after only four.
“The Czechs had gone to so
much trouble to make the con
gress a success, both from a
scientific and cultural viewpoint,"
the professor emeritus noted, "but
it all went down the drain.”

’68 Chemistry Faculty Picked
(i
Six new Chemistry Depart
ment faculty members were an
nounced here Monday by Dr. A.
E. Martell, head.
Appointed professor were Karl
A. Gingerich, Bernard L. Shapiro,
Thor L. Smith and Minoru Tsut-
sui. Wallace M. Pasika is an as
sociate professor and Jaan Laane
assistant professor.
They all hold the Ph.D., Mar
tell noted.
Gingerich, 40, was a senior
chemist at Battelle Memorial In
stitute before coming to A&M.
He received degrees at Albert
Ludwigs University in Freiburg,
Germany, and taught at Lud
wigs, the University of Illinois
and Penn State.
Previously an Illinois Institute
of Technology professor, Shapiro
was a Stanford visiting scholar
the past year. He was awarded
advanced degrees at Harvard af
ter undergraduate study at Mc
Gill University in Montreal. The
professor, 36, was also a research
fellow at Mellon Institute in
Pittsburgh.
Smith, 48, was propulsion spe
cialist with the Cal Tech jet pro
pulsion lab and Stanford’s pro
pulsion sciences division before
accepting appointment at A&M.
He directed the Stanford division
and has been a scientific fellow
since 1964. His degrees are from
Wheaton College, IIT and Wis
consin.
Tsutsui has been at New York
University the last eight years
as research scientist, project di
rector, lecturer and professor. He
received the Ph.D. at Yale and
doctor of science at Japan’s Na
goya University. He also studied
at Gifu and Tokyo Universities
and MIT. The 50-year-old scien
tist had experience at Sloan-Ket-
tering Institute, Brookhaven Na
tional Lab and with Monsanto.
‘Trojan Women’ Tryouts Set
Tryouts for the Aggie Players’
first major play of 1968-69, “The
Trojan Women,” will be held
Monday at Texas A&M Uni
versity.
Director C. K. Esten said try
outs will be for actors and crew
members working with lighting,
costume, properties, house, pub
licity, set construction and sound.
Auditions will begin at 7:30
p.m. in Fallout Theater, in the
basement of Guion Hall, Esten
added.
Euripides’ “The Trojan Wom
en” is a classic Greek drama de
picting the results of war and the
attitudes and emotions of women
who survive, the director went on.
First of eight major plays to
be presented this season by the
university’s only fine arts group,
“The Trojan Women” has been
set tentatively to open Oct. 28
(Monday) and run a week.
In addition to major produc
tions to be presented in Guion
Hall, the Aggie Players annually
present about 40 one-act plays in
Fallout Theater.
Laane is an honor graduate of
Illinois and MIT, where he earned
the Ph.D. last year. The National
Science Foundation and Woodrow
Wilson Fellow assisted research
and worked summers at the Los
Alamos Scientific Laboratory. The
26-year-old professor had 4.8 and
4.9 grade point averages on the
5.0 system for his degrees.
Pasika, faculty member at East
Texas State three years, joined
the A&M faculty during the sum
mer. He obtained degrees at Man
itoba and Alberta Universities in
Canada and taught in Liverpool,
England.
