fork the whole meal long.
While we're listing the mega
tiyes take these tips: Don't
chose a British restaurant at
random; save yourself heart
burn by selecting carefully in
advance. Excellent food is OBJ
tainable in England for the
searching.
Silver Prices High
Don't buy silver in France.
1t is more pure than ours, or
that in England, but not twice
as pure while the prices are
twice as high. Also designs
are poor. Don't waste money
buying French wine outside
France. If it's a country that
produces wine take the local
variety; if it doesn't. order
beer. also the local one. A
bottle of wine in England can
double your bill. Beware of
Spanish leather if you have
shoes made there. 1t is worth
asking and paying for the best
quality.
Now to the positive aspect
of European travel. It's true
that it's best to buy watches
lin Switzerland, cashm er e
sweaters in England and per-
fume as well as wine in France.
The lace in Brussels Is as ad-
vertised but they are not CIV
ing it away. Less obvious buys

ahead with the project in the
light of what's happened in
his family. More's the pity for
authentic motels are needed
over here. You'll find some
which think they are motels
but aren't. You'll also find lots
and lots Of snack bars and
hamburger joints that think
they are and aren't, so prepare
for letdowns.
Or better, don't go looking
for American ways and tastes.
It's a bad idea to insist on
American or English break
fasts in countries that believe
in nothing but coffee and
rolls at that hour. BY the
same token don't order lust
a salad" in places serving full
course meals at lunch time.
The salad you'll get will be a
small side dish and cost a
fiendish price. Always remem-
Der that a special order is en-
titled to a special price and
that's the way to blow your
travel budget to bits.
Europe has made many con-
cessions to our way of life;
what they haven't conceded
by now probably won't hap
pen. One Of these is the
slightly revolving custom in
country restaurants Of leaving
you with the same knife and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-13

but just as rewarding is choco-
late candy in England. They
are wonderful candy makers
and it's cheap. The best place
to buy gold is in Italy; the
saving is quite startling and
the designs are as good as any
where.
Check List
If you arrive in a new coun-
try with a list Of shopping
and errands try to check it
off before the last minute.
You risk being disappointed
by shops closed while you are
due to catch plane at the
same time they're due to re-
open. Most shops and even
large stores here close for one,
two or even three hours at
lunch time. Like museums,
they also close one afternoon
or even a whole day a week in
addition to Sunday. This
closing is usually decided by
their syndicates so if one is
closed. all others selling the
same thing will be, too.
Next we come to a very i'm
portant item and that is
romance" 1t is quite true
that very few American women

English and just dying to make

argue, and that's important to

Prices are as labeled, and it's
no use trying to push them
down. Prices for the tourist
and prices for the locals are
the same. I'm convinced of it

Unions Ask Too Much,

NEW YORK, June 30 (P).-
FOLLOWING is a statement issued
tonight By ~ steel companies
concerning the breakdown in
steel mage contract neootia-
tons.
"The United Steelworkers of
America has rejected the pro-
posals that have been advanced
by the companies, and has struck
the steel plants.
During the course of nego-
tiations which began more than
a month ago, the only proposals
that the union has made have
been so excessive that they af-
forded no realistic basis for bar
gaining.

the Union a long-term contract

few taken from the Nation s
police blotters.
And unless the rank-and-fil
fights them. the modern mob
may some day take over all
American labor. just as cancer

Support Needed
Where are the men willing to
give their decent leaders the
support needed to return labor
to the idealism which motivated
the old cigar maker, Samuel
Gompers? Gompers used to go to
the AFL headquarters many
years ago in a pair of frayed bed
room slippers because he couldn't
afford to buy shoes. though he
was president of the organiza-
ton.
The AFL headquarters was not
a marble palace across from the
White House but an old shack.
And the AFL presidents desk
was an empty wooden box.
That financial poverty isn't
necessary today but neither is
a poverty Of idealism. Leaders
of American labor have to fight
for decency. And rank-and- file
union members must rally be-
hind their decent officials to
throw of the yoke of the crime
cartel.
