Havana Vendors Draw
Interest of Tourists

HAVANA, March 22.-The Pea
nut Vnedor," immortalized in song,
is only one of the many interesting
street peddlers of Havana. The pea
nut vendor. or "manicero," is usual
ly Chinaman, who announces his
presence by tinkling a bell. He also
cries his wares in curious muffled
wall, as in the rumba bearing his
name
The Cuban brush man, with his
cart stuck full of brooms and short
and long brushes. never fails to at
tract the tourists attention as he
pushes his way down the street.
Equally picturesque is the SOM
brero salesman, with his stack of
giant straw hats woven in varied
bands of color. Often he wears most
of his stock on his head, in sky
scraper fashion.
Every street corner in Havana has
its vendors of gourd rattlers, or
''maracas," which give that char
acteristic sound to the rumba. AS
the vendors, often bright-eyed
youngsters, shake these gayly var
nished and decorated rattles, it is
hard for the tourist not to buy q
supply to take back home.

NOUS Haunted Sentry Box" on the
sea wall of San Cristobal Castle at
San Juan recalls the ancient legend
associated with this noted landmark,
seen as the traveller enters the city's
harbor.
The story dates back to early
Spanish times when every soldier
posted at the outpost mysteriously
disappeared overnight, leaving Moth

strong odor of birthstone. No trace
of any sentry was ever found nearby
or on the rocks spraWling 100 feet
below. so superstitious Spaniards
promptly laid such disappearance to
the devil
More romantic chroniclers state
the diSappearances were the works
of an unhappy Indian lass who thus
avenged a faithless Spaniard lover
This legend holds that she slew
sentinel after sentinel until her be-
trayer went on duty, when she

Maritime Commission officials
seeking ships to meet the urgent
needs of Great Britain, turned hope
fully yesterday to the lib freighters
In the intercoastal service.
While revealing that surveys of
these vessels had been started, Of
flcials emphasized that no deci-
sion had been reached as to how
many of them might be diverted to
other uses.
At the same time, the urgency of
Britain's need for ships was empha-
sized by an announcement that it
had acquired 51-year -old floating
fish reduction plant.

conceded they might provide the
principal source of tonnage to meet
the pinch until the Presidents
emergency program gets into pro-
duction late in the year.
All told there are 1862 vessels with
gross tonnage of 1,611,134 in the
coastwise service, including the in
tercoasta1 trade, but many of these
are not regarded as suitable for di-
version to other services because of
being specially constructed for the
haulage of some particular COM
modify.
Diversion of freighters from the
intercoastal service would involve
the movement by rail of freight now
carried by water. Transportation
experts say the railroads now are
operating much less than capacity,
and that they could take over much
of the traffic now moving from coast
