The Stor's Travel Editor

Interpreted for the tourists view
point, it holds out the chance of en-
countering less difficulty in reserving
desired accommodations at the peak
of the season.
Tourist courts, located between
cities and on the outskirts, generally
are thought of as less expensive,
more convenient accommodations
than hotels. But the variety Of
motels in Florida ranges from simple
shelters with parking space for
the car to unusual layouts duplicat-
ing the facilities of hotels. A num-
her of Florida's new tourist courts
have everything the big midcity
hotels have, except the parking prob
lem.
The more luxurious tourist courts
are including excellent dining facil-
tiles, cocktail lounges and even room
service. Some are adjacent to bath
ing beaches, lakes and golf courses.
Several Florida motor courts are To-
Gated along small waterways, with
canals at the front door.
The disposition of the budget
minded family to stop at motor
courts is based in part on avoidance
of the nuisance of tipping. One
Miami hotel manager, while not
conceding that he is trying to bring
this type of traveller into town, has
abolished tipping. He is Peter L.
Niles, managing director of the
Hotel Patricia, overlooking Bis
cayne Bay.
Travellers themselves can and
usually do break down any mo
tipping" policy. But Mr.. Niles has
geared things to make It stick. His
follow-through system occasionally
catches employees who accept prof.
fered bit of change. The penalty is
dismissal.
Mr.. Niles, who has a flair for the
unusual in hotel operation, became
one Of the most-talked-about men
in the business when he decided
last summer to reimburse his sum-
mer guests for torrid weather. He
offered them a free room every day
the temperature touched 80 degrees.
He had to pay off only twice. The
mercury rose to 80 on August 16
and September 6.
A first" at the other extreme of
service the visitor will find in Flor
ida hotels has been announced by
Marvin Freedman, manager of Mi
ami's swank Martinique. The hotel,
which opened for the 1946-47 sea-
son, will provide cold storage room
for summer furs Of its guests.

An indication that the Florida
season will begin early comes in
National Airlines' announcement
that nonstop service on a 3-hour,
Commute schedule begins tomorrow
between Washington and Miami.
Evening star., 1948-10-31

The stage Is being set for one Of
the greatest tourist shows on earth
the Florida season.
Early visitors, looking behind the
scenes, can see the spectacle taking
shape. If they take the time from
their Bleaching and summing, they
can find reasons to expect an ex-
travaganza bigger and better than
ever. The riveters hammer and the
carpenters saw provide the prelim-
mary music.
Since last winter, new facilities
have been added in every important
resort center and along each prin-
cipal highway in the State. The
Florida Hotels Commission has the
key figures all added up: 255 new
hotels, $50 fresh motor courts; in
all, 1850 hotels and 1900 motels of
many sizes and personalities. These
114,0O0 rooms do not include apart
ment houses and rooms in private
homes.
Miami Beach gives an attractive
preview of the glamour being added
in the form of magnificent hotels.
The remaining ocean front gaps
along Collins avenue, known as 'the
hotel-iest street in the world" are
being filled in with architectural
concoctions Of steel and stone. They
are pressing hard against the bor-
der of "MillionaireS' Row." Some
have been completed except for
finishing touches of furnishings,
others are being rushed for gala
openings as the season advances
toward its after Christmas peak.
These are among the 1S new hotels
being readied in Miami Beach alone.
They will add accommodations for
5000 more visitors per day than last
year. Samuel Rivkind. president of
the Miami Beach Hotel Owners As
sociation, says this increment will
give the Gulf Stream resort an over
all total of about 5000 hotel rooms.

Britain Excludes Red
Reporter From Games
By the Assoeiotsd Prsss

LONDON, July 27.-Britain today
announced the first official exclu-
sion of Communist from the 1913
Olympic games-an italian news
paper man.
Barred from Britain during the
games starting Thursday was To-
masco Giglio, special Olympics cor
respondent of the Rome Communist

Of permits to enter Britain was left

without the necessity Of either q
formal passport or visa.
It became plain that no blanket
exclusion OF Communists was being
applied. @
Miroslav Stjazkin, sports editor Of
the Czech Communist paper Rude
Pravo, roamed freely through the
Olympic camps on London's OUT
skirts.
Giglio telephoned a story to his
paper from Paris last night, assert
ing British officials stopped him at

him for several hours, searched his
belongings and held him incom-
municado until they could put him

Higher License Fees
On Hotels, Apartment,
And Lodgings Urged
Committees Proposals
Would Raise D. G. Income
From Source to $4,000
By Jerry O'Leory, Jr.

Greatly increased license fees
for hotels, apartment houses,
boarding houses and all public
housing were recommended to
the Commissioners today by
their Special Public Housing
Committee. The fee increases
are set forth in a sliding scale
with the new figure higher in
every instance than the old.

Milton S. Norman, chairman Of the
committee, said a public hearing will
be held at 10 am. September Z on
the proposed increases, as well as or
a new set of classifications for pub
lie housing drawn up by the group
Meanwhile, the Commissioners to-
day extended the deadline date for
license renewal applications from
August Is to October l so that land
lords can comply with eventual
changes.

Action on U. 5. Pay
During Extra Session
Appears Doubtful
Truman Urges Equitable
Revision, but Offers
No Specific Proposals

President Truman today rec
commended more equitable re-
vision of Federal salaries during
the special session, but his pro-
'posal ran into an immediate
snag in the House and Senate
Civil Service Committees.
Members of both committees ex-
pressed the view that nothing would
be done on the Presidents proposals
during the special session.
1t was pointed out both groups
are now at work on a revision of
the Federal Classification Act and
that specific legislative proposals
would be made when the new
Eighty-frst Congress convenes in
January. 1t was said that compile
ton of this project could not pos
sibly occur before that time.
Pay Bill Backers Disappointed.
President Trumans brief one
paragraph recommendation con-
corning Federal salaries disap-
pointed some pay bill supporters on
Capitol Hill who had expected spe-
cific proposals. Furthermore, they
had expected the President to deal
with the subject as forthrightly as
he did when he blasted current in
equities in signing the Federal pay
bill last month.
In his message today, Mr.. Truman
dealt with Federal pay matters in
the following words:
In the final days before adjourn
ment in June, the Congress passed
bill raising the salaries of some
Federal employees. However. this
bill neglected long overdue reforms
in Federal pay scales and discrimi-
mated unfairly against certain groups
of employees. The Congress should
take this opportunity to enact more
equitable and realistic Federal pay
legislation.
Administration officials said Mr..
Truman was more concerned with
lifting hte current $4,000 Federal
pay ceiling and raising the salaries
of top-flight Government officials
than with according rank and file
Government workers another pay
adjustment. However, it was pointed
out that the re-classification act
proposals rejected by Congress last
month would mean an additional
$50 to 500 anual increase for most
Federal workers.
d. G. Pay Legislation Pending.
Mr.. Trumans message also was
interpreted as advocating the same
$3.50 pay raise for District govern
ment workers as other Federal en-
ployes are receiving. Legislation al
ready has been introduced to take

PARIS, July 27.-The Ma

to 191, its willingness to let the
coalition cabinet of Premier
Andre Marie begin working on
Frances grave problems at once
No formal vote of confidence was
demanded by the moderate Con-
servative premier, but the depu-
ties realized they were voting fol-
or against the government. Mr.
Marie would find it difficult to con-
tinue if he were voted down in his
first appearance before the Assem-
bly, as premier.
Mr.. Marie asked the deputies to
postpone debate on the govern
ment's general policy so it could
get to work on "the grave problems
France must solve" The Commu-
nists had demanded the debate
De Gaullists abstained.
Faces Sterner Test Next Week.
Mr.. Marie will meet a sterner
test next week when he is expected
to request decree powers for nom

Chairman Millikin of the Senate
Finance Committee ruled out any
chance for action on Mr.. Truman s
request for an excess profits tax.
Senator Millikin said:
I'm my judgment there is not a
chance for an excess profits tax.
Such a tax would shut off an essen
tial sources of capital necessary for
production. Therefore an excess
profits tax would lessen production
and increase shortages and prices. u
Senator Millikin said there also is
