Some very strange things happen
in the realm of popular music anc
one of the stranger is happening
right now before your very ears. II
all started with the attempt to make
radio commercials more palatable
when some bright demon thought OF
rhyming them and setting them to
music. Some startling effects have
been achieved in this field, as any
one knows, and our society has been
marked in minor sort of way
Children at play, for instance, are
just as likely now to sing about Adam
and his hat as about Mary and her
lamb and when they plead for soda
pop that hits the spot or candy
coated chewing gum they often dc
1t with song.
Well, that which was bound to
happen has happened. One of the
catcher of the singing CONNER

of the banana, has risen from its low
ly origins. It's not sales talk any
more, but at last is real dance

Robb, incidentally, makes something

 The sessions conducted by Miss Hines dealt with the problems of interpreting the program of the "Y-teen" group to the community. As one way of interpreting the ac- tivities of any organization, it was pointed out by Miss Hines the values of good press and radio re- 1ations. Brief instructions were given in news and radio script writing.

Mobilization Of tourist facilities "all

Train, motor bus and plane serv-.

Train schedules are, generally
speaking, somewhat slower than be-
fore the war, but they are being
stepped up as equipment is recon-
ditioned. Many of the famous
Wagons-Lits international Express
trains are now operating with ex-
cellent sleeping car and dining car
accommodations, including the
Simplon- Orient Express. the Nord
Express, the Arlberg Express and
the Engadine and Overland Ex-
presses which serve the principal
winter sports centers of Switzerland.
Air travel is now available be-
tween almost all important Euro

I raveIer's Notebook
By Jacques FutreIIe. Jr.
The Stor's Iroysi Editor

Americans can look forward to
planning pleasure tours in Europe
in 1947, according to H. q. Grad
dock, Western Hemisphere traffic
manager OF Thos. Cook g. Son. The
agency already is shaping plans for
travel to Europe next summer on
the basis of Mr. Craddock's re-
ports He recently returned to the
United States after more than a
year abroad, during which time he
conferred with officials of foreign
governments and executives of
transportation lines and hotel COM
panies.
He found most of Europe return
ing to normal fast enough to as
sure comfortable pleasure travel by
the time the vacation urge hits
America at its strongest, in June
and July. In fact, he reports that
even now, facilities have been re-
habilitated sufficiently to bring
about a strong movement to re-
sorts by Europeans themselves. BY
following prescribed paths, broad
enough to be interesting, travellers
will find costs not much higher
than before the war. in terms OF
American dollars, according to Mr.
Craddock.
AS yet, however, the State De-
partment has not given the green
light to globe trotting. Applications
for passports to Europe are being
screened to determine whether trips
are reasonably essential 1t is the
general expectation that require
ments will be relaxed for 1947
Transatlantic ships and planes are
not plentiful enough at present to
accommodate those Americans now
in Europe who wish to return. This
westbound backlog is expected to be
cleared up by late this winter or
next spring.
THE European countries. aside
from those still under military oc-
cupation, are making every possible
preparation for American visitors, .
Mr. Craddock said, adding that his
company is setting up comprehen-
sive program of tours. These plans
embrace Great Britain, France,
Switzerland, Italy as far south as
Rome, Luxembourg, Belgium, the
Netherlands and the Scandinavian
countries. Trips will be arranged
in conjunction with Atlantic cross
ings by sea or air.
Other travel agencies, particular
ly those maintaining Offices in vari-
Gus parts of the world, have begun
plans to meet the demand for travel
to Europe with the lifting of pass
port restrictions Ralph T. Reed,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-12-15

under control. In Switzerland and
Scandinavia travellers will encounter
no difnculties, and prices are rea-
sonable except for certain scarce
food luxuries. In France, Italy, Bel
GUM and the Netherlands, the black
market situation is steadily coming
under control. More food Is now
available at moderate prices, and
prices are not very high except in
the most expensive types Of restau-
rants"
He predicted that sightseeing by
motor bus and automobile will be
available next summer in the princi-
pal European tourist centers, as be-
fore the war. Regular sightseeing
bus tours have been operated in
London and its suburbs for the last
year. He reported almost all of the

mand for accommodations still ex-
ceeds the supply, especially in Lon
don, Paris, Dublin and other large
cities, Mr.. Craddock said. Many
hotels in Paris, Amsterdam and
Brussels have already been refur-
nished. The hotels along the Riviera
and at most OF the leading French
resorts are reported in good condi-
ton. In Switzerland the situation
is normal, and even during last sum-
mer a large number of English
travellers spent their holidays in
Alpine resorts. The Scandinavian
countries were also able to provide
satisfactory accommodations for a
good number of foreign visitors in
1915.

president of the American Express
Co, early this fall predicted the
flow of Americans to the Old World
during the first year pleasure pass
ports are issued would exceed 1875
248.500. He made the estimate as
he sailed for a personal inspection
of Europes facilities.
At the time, he pointed out that
transatlantic travel will be more
easily possible for many persons
whose time heretofore has been linn
tied. He said: With air facilities
to Europe on the increase and in
view of Commerce Department fig
ures on the spread of paid vacations
in the ranks of American workers.
the two-week trip to Europe enters
into the travel picture for the first
time

is experimenting with streamlined

celebrated centers in less than two

Commenting on the food situation
as it affects tourists, Mr.. Craddock

continue to be through 1947. How

simple, and prices are kept well
