The Travellers Notebook
Travel Agencies Face Big Restoffing Job
As ODT Begins to Lift Curbs on Transport;
Resorts Seen in Full Swing by Years End

Travel agencies, much like every
other business, have been caught off
the base by the sudden end of the
war and now, with banner outlook
that promises record demand for
TRANSPORTATION and accommodations
befoi~ the year ends, they are faced
with 4 restaffing job that borders on
the impossible.
Promises by Office of Defense
Transportation Director J. Monroe
johnson that travel restrictions
might be relaxed further ''if the
general public uses its head" is but
the yellow flash that indicates the
green light go ahead on all travel
is now matter of few months
away.
There is no reason to doubt the
civilian war weary are eager to go
somewhere after sticking close to the
job for more than three and half
years, and it is commonly agreed
that more people than ever before
have the whereWithal to take that
long -dreamed-of vacation.
Hence we are sure to see greater
demand for reservations in autumn
spots than hotel men could have
ever anticipated, and by winter a
trek to resorts such as before had
never been dreamed about.
There is every indication that
rest and relaxation are not going to
attempt to grab it right away
Hearkening to Director Johnson's
words about Pullmans being avail
able soon "if everybody doesn't try
to go to town" at once, they are
willing to wait little longer.
BY the turn of the year, it is con-
fldently predicted, there'll be room
on that train, there'll be hotel &C
commodations awaiting; once ar
rived, there1l be good food and
plenty in hotels; the horses will be
running again, the major leagu,
baseball teams will be on the winter
parks, there1l be more ammunition
for hunters, more gasoline for boat
f1shermen-and the surf will be
beating as ever.
Meantime the travel agencies. as
well may be imagined, have the
hardest kind of job ahead to pre-
pare for the rush.

be long before 'rubberneck buses"

BONN, Germany, Mar. 19-The
bomb plot of last July 20 failed to
take Adolf Hitler's life because at
the last moment the scene of his
meeting with Mussolini was changed
and because, unpredictably, he
sprang from his chair just before
the explosive under it was de-
tonated, according to an informant
who was connected with the plotters.
Hitler, this informant whom I
have known for many years and in
whose integrity I believe, tells me,
had been expected to meet II Duce
in concrete dugout at ceremony
at which remnants of the Fascist
Army were incorporated into the
Wehrmacht. But, at the last mo-
ment, he chose to hold the meeting
in a wooden shed to show his Italian
visitor that he was not afraid of air
raids.
The bombs effectiveness. my in
formant said. had been calculated
on the assumption that it would ex-
plode in a smaller room than the
one used. Also the concrete walls
of the bunker where the ceremony
had been planned would have
heightened the impact of the blast.
Since the explosion, I am told,
Hitler frequently has suffered from
loss of memory and for days is
unable to function as chief of state
and supreme commander of the
army. Occasionally he has fainting
spells, his speech frequently fails
him and he can pronounce words
only with the greatest difficulty.
Other facts about the Fuehrer
revealed by my informant, who has
been in hiding since the abortive
bomb plot and even now, in Allied
territory, does not want his name
revealed, were:
Hitler not only knows the war is
lost, but since last July 20 has been
aware that he is opposed by what
my informant called the Elite of
post Bismarckian Germany" - the
nobility, military caste, big indus
trialistS, the bankers and intel
ligentsia among labor. This weighs
on him even more heavily than the
matter of defeat, since he ascribes
defeat not to himself or his regime
but to what he considers disloyalty
among these better" class Germans.
His hatred for them knows no
bounds. At frequent intervals he
has shown a repulsive, revolving film
of the hangings of Field Marshal
Erwin Won Witzleben, Ulrich Won
Hassel and the others condemned
as conspirators. He then snaps out
of his fits of dependency, deriving
a vicarious, sadistic satisfaction
from seeing this sorry evidence of
his triumph Of pr his adversaries at
home.
The technique Of the hangings was
grueSomely novel from two respects.
The victims were hanged naked in
violation of all tradition. A wire
instead of rope was used and the
condemned were hoisted slowly.
Their sufferings lasted at least five
to eight minutes, during which they
bled profusely.
