new Constellation sleeper planes In
go days for overseas operations.
That 1948 will see a marked in
crease in pleasure travel is forecast
by Malcolm La Prade, vice president
of Thos. Cook & Son. He points
out that the amount of accommoda-
tions on transatlantic passenger
vessels "is greatly increased over
1947."
Last year." Mr.. La Prade re-
called, "only two large liners, recon-
verted for regular passenger service,
operated throughout the spring and
summer seasons-the America and
the Queen Elizabeth. In addition
to those ships we now have the
Queen Mary, the Mauretania and
the Nieuw Amsterdam, all express
liners with large capacity. The List
of medium sized vessels is steadily
increasing and this summer will in
clude two new Cunarders, Media
and Parthia; the new Swedish
American liner Stockholm, the Bri-
tannic, Veendam, Westerdam, Moor
dam, De Grasse, Gripsholm, Sta
vangerfjord, Batory, and the United
States liner Washington, which will
be partially reconverted as a pas
senger carrier. The Vulcania, Sa-
turnia and several smaller vessels
of the American Export Lines will
sail to Mediterranean ports, as will
the Sobieski and the Nea Hellas.
There will be number of smaller
vessels, combined cargo-passenger
carriers on the North Atlantic run.
while the combined capacity Of
all these ships is not up to that

Who went to Europe last sum-
Tmer? The majority of air trav-
elers, according to American Over
seas Airlines, few to visit relatives
or on business, not for vacations.
The information was cleaned
from questionnaires filled out by
nearly 1900 AOA passengers flying
from New York to Europe in Au-
gust.
Commenting on the findings, r.
E. S. Deichler, vice president for
traffic, said,

The QUESTIONABLE also disclosed
that:
The average age Of those who
flew abroad primarily for vacations
was 80 years for men and 80 for
women;
Only II per cent travelled by air
because of lack of steamship ac-
commodations;
Eighteen per cent gave personal

Travellers Notebook
Ship Space to Europe in Summer Tightens
By Jacques Futrele. Jr.
m. s,ar's TfoveI Editor

Passenger-carrying facilities, both
by sea and air, again will determine
the number of tourists going to
Europe this year.
The statement Is from an Amer
lean Express Co. forecast of 1s4s
foreign travel, and the word again
points significantly to the tight
space situation that developed in
travel abroad last spring and sum-
mer. In other words, planes will be
flying with loads at or near capacity
and ocean liners will sell out all
their space months in advance.
That's what happened last year.
There is evidence even now that
these predictions will become reality.
Tourist class passage on ships from
May to August already is exceed
ingly tight" and local travel agen-
cies are reporting tourist and cabin
class accommodations sold out on all
east-bound North Atlantic liners for
late June and early July. So far, a
choice exists generally as to ship
and dates for the more expensive
types of first-class travel.
A similar situation is developing
on transatlantic flights. American
Overseas Airlines-and its advance
reservations can be taken as typical
of the United States companies
operating planes to Europe-reports
eastbound fights sold out on some
dates In late June and early July.
The planes also are booked solid
westbound on some days In late
August and early September, peak
period for returning travellers.
Although transatlantic airlines
have not yet announced to the gen.
eral public the full extent Of their
operations for the coming peak sea-
son. the American Express survey
shows the prospective combined
capacity of steamships and planes
totals 224,845 eastbound and 275,-
1856 westbound. The latter figure
includes the peak "windup" month
Of October.
The survey breakdown reveals
eastbound liners from May l
through September can carry 1885,
AT passengers, and to-Europe
flights will provide more than $4,000
seats for the same period. Ship
schedules are likely to permit little
variance from the figures. Airlines,
however, can more readily adjust
their equipment to the demand,
and the delivery of new planes
can boost space available. TWA,
for instance, expects to receive IL

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Balti-
more Bullets battle the New York
Knickerbockers in Baltimore to-
night for the right to advance to
the semifinal playoffs of the Basket
Ball Association of America.
The Bullets, fourth place club in
the Western Division most of the
season, finished strong to gain the
elimination rounds. The Knicks
led the Eastern half of the loop
until the final weeks when Phila-
delphia took over first place.
Baltimore won the first Of the
best-of-three series and the Knicks
evened 1t last Sunday. The Bullets
are slight favorites to take the de-
Gliding contest.
The winner will meet the winner
Of the current Boston Chicago
series. The Celtics whipped the
Stays, 81-77, in Boston last night to
even the best-of-three playoffs.
Chicago won the first game, 1912.
Max Zaslofsky of the Stays, the
loops top scorer for the season, was
high man for the night with %
points. 1t was a rough and tumble
contest with four Stays and three
Celtics going out on fouls. Thirty
nine fouls were called against Chi
cago, 81 against Boston.

as some of the others.
A few changes have been made,
notably at tackle. where the new
staff must take up slack caused
by the departure of four Al
men. Scott Emerson, 2l0-pound
co-captain Of the squad, has
been shunted from guard to
tackle because Of his speed and
driving power He looks rugged
enough to give as good as he
takes at the position.
Ken Schiweck. who played
tackle near the end of last sea
son, has been moved to guard
because of his speed and ability
to pull out of the line and lead
running plays. Jim Beeler,
another guard last year. switched
to tackle and is beginning to
work like an old hand at the
Job. These are the most i'm
portant changes in the line.
Pete Williams, who was forced
to the sidelines with an ankle in
jury last season, is recuperating
from an operation that should
make him sound as a dollar, but
he'll miss all Of the spring work
outs. Fullback Bill Hawkins,
another highly rated back, Is
