Portugal Is Asked
To Face Reality,
ICede Goa to India

KARACHI, Pakistan (NC) -- BY
ceding Goa and other Portuguese
settlements to the Indian union,
Portugal will be only allowing the
inevitable to happen.
This statement was made here
by Pakistan's sole Catholic paper,
The Christian Voice, in an editori.
al presenting the case for Goa's
union with India.
The paper asked Portuguese
Prime Minister Antonio Salazar TO
face reality and avoid much unnec.
cessary suffering for the Goan peo-
pie.
Declaring that Goans themselves
have no fundamental objection to
merger with India, the paper
pointed out that Goans freely mi
crate to India to settle there, re-
garding themselves in no way as
aliens.
The paper branded as a delusion
the Portuguese belief that the
Christian civilization Of Goa will be
threatened by Hindu India. II said
that the tradition of tolerance
which India has is certain to con-
tinue.

SAIGON, South Vietnam - A
VletnameSe Catholic Sister tolls as
a convict in a Vietminh communist
prison because she cooperated with
the international Supervisory Com
mission in obtaining departure per-
mlts for refugees.
The international Commission
has known about her case for sew
eral months. Whatever efforts it
may have made to free her have
been ineffective.
Sister Agnes Toan was formerly
mistress of noyices in the Sister
hood of the Lovers of the Cross in
Phat,Diem. Last summer she went
with other Sisters to nurse the sick
IN the little hospital near Phat-
Diem cathedral. The nun, about 40,
served as superior of the group.
In October, the hospital and
other mission buildings were
full of refugees. These were peo-
pie from other areas who wanted
TO leave the north but because
OF Vietminh obstruction could
get no farther than Phst.Diem.
Their only hope was in the In.
ternational Commission. At length,
on Nov, 2, Commission team of
investigation arrived.
The team found between 1000
and 1000 refugees in the hospital.
AT the explicit request of a Com
mission member, Sister Toan
agreed to gather the refugees writ
ten petitions to leave the country.
AS requested, she handed over the
papers to the Commission team.
After delays and frickery, the
Vietminh reluctantly gave the
permits but they stopped Sister
Toan and another Sister at . riv.
er smbsrkstion point.
On April l6 she was tried in a
typical rigged peoples court" and
sentenced TO three years.

vance. It's business comes
largely from railroads and other
interstate lines, which offer all,
expense package deals" to tour
list groups. including hotels. tours
and sometimes meals. a~ '@s
Many by Private Auto
Many tourists do not arrange
their accommodations in ad-
vance. however. The idea of
driving ones own car on a trip
is becoming increasingly popular.
Be1efiting from this trend are
the motels and independent tour
list guides who rent their limou-
sine services by the hour or by
the day.
If it weren't for the steady
upswing in tourists here. the
hotel picture might be worse.
Business visitors to Washing
ton have been steadily declining
in number for several years.
For hotels, the tourists are the
lifesaver. Several factors have
been causing slippage in hotel
occupancy since the war. Prob
ably the most important is the
mushrooming of inotels.
In 1851, according to Bourbon
Dawes, executive secretary of
the Hotel Association of Wash
ington, his "a member hotels
averaged 80 per cent occupancy
for each of six months of the
year. This year, he says, hotels
can expect such near-capacity
registrations only for the
months of April and May.
Family Rates Offered
To combat this situation,
more and more hotels are Offer
ing family-rate plans. These
plans reduce the rates for
families, some of them allow
ing children to stay without
charge in the same rooms as
their parents.
The people brought to town by
conventions are not figured in the
0-million-a-year estimate for
tourist spending. And the Greater
National Capital Committee, as
well as individual hotels, is doing
a lot Of out-of-town advertising
to bring conventions here.
One Of the biggest this year
will be the Order of the Eastern
Star, which meets September ii
to Is. An estimated 10000 to
10000 persons will attend. An
1ual conventions which come here
every year are the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the
Daughters of the American Rev.
olution. each of which attracts
close to 5000 persons.
Convention Newcomer
A new convention here this
year will be the National Associa-
ton of Radio and Television
Broadcasters on May 20 to 81.
It is expected to number 1000
persons.
Unless one Is in the same

The industry is tourists-more

The only thing bigger in Wash

1 Americans visit their National
Capital all year long. but they
come in the greatest numbers
from cherry bloss time
through the middle of June.
Organized student groups, for
example, bring in 100000 young
people a year, about 100000 of
them during the spring months.
They can be seen these days
travelling in buses from the Capt.
toll to the White House, to Mount
Vernon, to the Smithsonian and
to dozens of other national
shrines and cultural institutions.
For them, it is look at Amer

second week in June.
