Developments in Europe the past
week reverberated across the Allan
tic to disrupt the sea-going vacation
pans OF war-free Americans.
Perhaps the most disappointed
blow came with the cancellation of
the summer and fall cruises of the
modern and luxurious Nieuw AM
sterdam, one of the favorite ships
OF United States travellers for week
and two-week jaunts into the Carib-
bean area. The Holland American
liner was scheduled to make 10
cruises OF to IL days, beginning
May rs and lasting through october
10. Notice Of the cancellations was
received by Washington travel
agencies Thursday, and sharply cur
tailed accommodations to the West
Indies and northern South American
ports.
Reluctantly, the Swedish American
line has withdrawn its June 10
cruise of the Gripholm to the same
vacation sector. There Is no as
surance the liner, also one of the
favorite name" ships in the Carib-
bean cruise field, will be able to
clear port In Sweden to fulfill its
assignment. Although the notice
failed to mention the fate of the
June % trip Of the Gripsholm to
South America, it is presumed this,
too, will be wiped from the travel
prospectus.
The Bermuda cruise Of the Swed-
ish = American liner Kungsholm,
scheduled from New York yesterday
was Cancelled, but an announcement
from the lines New York Offices did
not attribute 1t to war conditions
Certain repairs were to be made
At the present writing, the May Is
cruise Of the Kungsholm to Ber-
muda is to 60 through as planned.
The ships 58-day cruise in the
Pacific, scheduled to sail June 90
still stands out as one Of the most
alluring ocean trips of the summer
Among the countries to be touched
are Panama, Mexico, Guatemala,
Cuba and-high light OF the timer
ary-the South Seas.
Cancellation of the special short
cruises will force many Americans
to turn other fields for their sum-
mer recreation, and it is doubtful
that regular ships serving Cuba,
the West Indies and mainland
Caribbean ports will be able to ab-
sorb the demand for accommoda-
tions. In fact some of the vessels
plying the sunny waters on week
in and week out schedules report
bookings solidly through the summer
Years before recreational travel
became a big business, one Of the
present outstanding travel objec-
tives in the East was known to the
Iroquois Indians as "Theanoguen''
and to the Algonquins as "Waho-
psrtenie." A great mountain rising
above Lake Placid in New York S
Adirondack Mountains, from which
some gigantic force of nature had
ripped a wide gully of earth to ex-
pose the gray granite, it reminded
the Iroquois of Theanoguen, a war
chief of Revolutionary times better
known as King Hendrix. "Waho-
partenie" in the Algonquin language
means "it is white" But today

lofty terminus OF the road is a

of biscuit eater" and even teaches
the other hounds his bad habits,

likely to win the coveted field

buys the plantation managed by
the elder Mcneil Determined to
turn the farm to the raising of
horses, the northerner will only be
convinced that there is profit and
prestige in dog-raising if the plan

dog must throw" the contest in
favor of another candidate. and the
boy is torn between his love for his
dog and his devotion to his parents.

Much Too Close 10 Jane

Ronald Reagan didn't have to be
told twice when Director Ray En-
right instructed him to keep close
to Jane Wyman in a scene of War
ner Bros. Brother Rat and a
Baby now at the Shell theater.
In fact, he obeyed orders too well
and Jane lost part of her skirt.
1t happened Reagan was follow
ing Miss Wyman into a night club
setting. In obeying the directors
instructions to keep close, he
stepped on the trailing hem of her
gown. There was ripping sound,
and Jane and the back half of the
skirt parted company. Fortunately
the skirt CHANGED to be one of those
filmy creations worn over a foun-
dation slip, so the only person en-
barrassed was Reagan.
