But he really begins to un-
derstand when just q single
phase Of that expansion is set

What q survey by these three

that the minimum cost Of

That figure. according to

tourist imports, for most foreign
governments rigidly restrict
what their citizens can bring
home duty-free.
After World War II, it was
right and proper that we en-
couraged spending abroad by
American travellers. This was q
simple way to help our allies
and I recall writing column aft
er column in the late 1940s urg-
ing Congress to lift the limit on
duty-free imports.
Congress Responded
| And Congress did respond.
When World War II ended, the
limit on duty-free imports was
500 by a tourist staying abroad
at least two days. On May 20,
1948, Congress made a first
move by raising that limit to
500 If the tourist stayed less
than two days, $500 If he stayed
abroad more than IL days. On
October Is, 1949, Congress re-
sponded again, raised the limit
to 5000 for an under two day
"trip which, with the 5000 limit
on the longer stay, brought the
maximum to the current $500.
But it Is painfully obvious
that the circumstances Of the
United States in the 1960s are
not the circumstances Of our
country in the 1940s.
j The time has come for our
travel authorities and agencies
to encourage American tourists
to spend more money at home.
The time Is overdue for the
!; United States to put on a great
drive to stimulate more foreign
tourism here.
Il And the time is here for Con-
, gress to recognize that a $500
J limit on duty-free imports is an
undesirable incentive to tourist
spending abroad, an unfair dis
elimination against American
businessmen and workers. The
limit should be cut.

lost our shirts" he admits, "but
it finally caught on" Within
a year he was getting late Gus
toners and opened for dinner.
He enlarged the place. put In
Texas longhorn decor, and
called it Blackie's House Of
Beef.
Drops All FrillS
To get the price Of the meal
down, Mr.. Augur eliminated
the dessert that many business
men Stunned anyhow, offered
no soup or fish, in fact no other
meat but beef.
He found the formula 50 sue
cessful that he has been able to
build two more like 1t, the
Black Gun at 72S Thirteenth
street NV. and the Black
Saddle at 709 Eighteenth street
NV. plus a lunch counter, the
Coffee Carte, half-a-block from
his original eatery.
Simplicity Of the menu and
high volume Of a few items are
the secrets Of the beef house.
Mr.. Augur also feels this solves
the problem Of high labor costs.
I'VE can train q man in q
very short time for our opera
ton. After all, you start with
a good piece Of meat like a
steak and there's not much you
can do TO hurt 1t, except burn
1t. We just don't need the
variety Of cooks"
The Charcoal Debate
Next time you order q char
coal-broiled steak or ham
burger, you should be aware
there's a possibility charcoal
never came within 20 feet Of
it. A debate raging in restau-
rant circles splits into those
who use charcoal and those
cooking with gas or electricity.
Fan and Bills at 1882 Con-
necticut avenue NV. founded
19 years ago and perhaps the
first beef house in Washington,
uses charcoal. Owners Harry
and Dan Cohen have resisted
other experimental methods
for the $4,000 worth Of beef
they keep on hand in aging
chambers. except, Of course,
for roasts.
Mariott's Sirloin q Saddle
Room and Blackie's House of
Beef, to name two, avoid char
coal. The latter cooks from
above the steak by means Of
heavy-duty gas equipment that
heats ceramic briquetteS.
Some Swear by Goals
Some fans say there's nothing
like charcoal. The intense
heat Of this fuel sears the out
side Of the meat, sealing in
juices. and that's the secret
Of flavor. they claim.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Duty-Free Limit Should Be Cut!

When my husband and
took our annual vacation In
Mexico last fall, we agreed that
while there we would load UP
on lovely pieces Of silver al
Mexico's much cheaper prices
and bring home the limit al
lowed to us duty free. Said we
"Then Wen have the silver
handy not only for special
Christmas gifts but also fol
wed ding, anniversary anC
birthday presents as they come
up." So we did buy to oul
maximum Of $500 each anc
every dollar we spent in Mexico
City's stores we have not spent
and will not spend in New York
stores.
This is a privilege I should
not have. In fact, I felt guilty
as I took advantage of it ir
December.
This is an incentive to spent
dollars in foreign stores which
Congress should reduce as soor
as possible.
Reduction Imperative
It is imperative that we act
to reduce our spending abroaC
to slow the outflow Of gold ant
protect the value Of the dollar
The high limit on duty-fre,
imports by tourists contribute
to this situation on a scale no
to be sneezed at.
It Is impossible to figury
tourist imports accurately, bu
an authoritative source says
"Our observations indicate tina
nearly all tourists bring il
the maximum permitted duty
free" With three-quarters Q
q million Of us now travelin
abroad annually, this suggest

$3.50 million to $400 millior
When the imports brough

he'd notice would be the beef
house.
A phenomenon Of the past
few years, the restaurant fea-

for lack Of investment capital.
