Sightseeing Returns as a Major District Business

The sightseeing bus service,
a reliable index to the volume
of tourists in any city, has re-
ceived a noticeable boost in
business during the spring
and early summer months
this year. Happily, and a
trifie impatiently, the bus
companies are planning for
fleet expansion as soon as the
cogs of production can grind
out new vehicles in quantity.
The IL such companies at
present operating in the Dis
trict have a fleet of 50 We
hicles. There were 46 before
the war, but deterioration
took its customary toll.
For an average of Is miles
the tourist trailway leads
through the city on a number
of separate tours arranged by
the bus companies. Some ex-
tend to Mount Vernon and
Annapolis. A new one, con-
Quoted on a Alton Diesel-mO-
tored yacht, now covers the
local water front.
AS the tourist, eager to take
his Washington report to the
folks back home, cranes and
ogles in his seat, the tradi-
tional lecturer, gesturing with
his little megaphone, still
points out the copious variety
of the Washington scene.
There sits Gen. Jackson as
tride his rearing horse In
Lafayette Park; Henderson
Castle looms red, medieval
and dignified atop its Six

teens with sailboats and
dogged fishermen along the
banks wait for the cats" to
bite.
The CITY of beautiful build
ings and green open spaces is
being unveiled in time-worn
fashion for tourists again.

Britain Reported Barring
Bulgarian Recognition
BY III. A.soeio..d Press

LONDON, Nov. 2.-Britain is still
dissatisfied with the Bulgarian gov-
ernment.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
today that terrorism preceded last
Sundays elections, and nothing had
appeared which would lead Britain
to recognize the Fatherland Front
regime in which Georgi Dimitrov,
former secretary-general Of the
comintern, plays a leading role,
Severe terrorism during the cam
paign was no doubt strongly re-
fiected in the results" the spokes-
mans prepared statement said. He
added reports had been received on
four killings in one area and "other
instances OF physical violence"
He pointed out. that no peace
treaty could be negotiated with Bull
garia until she had recognized
government but said he did not know
whether there would be joint British
American action against recognition.

Why use horse e-and-buggy writing in

Why indeed?
Yes, DR.. Flesch actually is making

can take few steps in a public
square and hear opinions of all
