PARASITIC smart Pari-
sian is looking for an extra
vacant vacation this year.
She wants to 60 to q place
where none Of her friends has
ever been or try at least an
unusual formula for her hol-
idays.
Never before has there
been q greater choice. AL
most q hundred countries try
to lure new tourists into
their hotels and to their
beaches-from Finland to the
Philippines, everything is pos
sible. The big hit seems to be
the cruise, by air to the far
away countries, by boat on
the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic. You can take q
cruise for as little as $40
it's in q crowded cabin with
seven others and doesn't last
more than three days-Mar-
settles, an island. Algiers and
back-but its q cruise all
right.
Every company has rugged
out their old boats, redone
them and are offering all
sorts Of cruises for every
taste and every purse. The
most unusual is the first Or
ganized journey by o Paris
travel agency to Outer Mon
golia. For $4,000 you can see
all the inaccessible countries
behind the Iron Curtain
(mostly from the air). Dur
ing q whole month you can
stay some days In Ulan Ba-
tor, the capital of Outer
Mongolia, and travel back to
Paris with stops In fabulous
places like s q m q rkand d,
Kashmir and Afghanistan.
All the Communist countries
are trying to get tourists
and good currencies into
their newly built resorts.
Air cruises include even
Red China. Romania has
opened several beach hotels
on the Black Sea. Sun, surf
and good food are guaran-
teed, and very international
company, but no contacts
with the "nativeS"l Hungary
offers q beautiful lake (the
Balaton) with fishing and
swimming, and even Bulgaria
has q service for travelling
tourists.
But the greatest effort is
being made by Yugoslavia.
It's beautiful and nearly I'M
touched Dalmatian coastline
is expected to become the
latest resort for sunlovers.
Ancient monasteries and cas-
ties have been transformed
into comfortable hotels with
full board from 50 to $40.
The Yugoslavs have even in
vented q formula for status

Undaunted, President Tru-

and in the end had a bal

cost of under $4,000.
When it was completed, the
subject came up at one of
Mr.. Truman's news confer
ences.
The former President then
explained the portico was
designed by Thomas Jeffer-
son; that it was first built
with very narrow spindly
wooden columns and that fl

made to carry out Jefferson's
program.

When the South portico
was designed. Mr.. Truman
continued. it was intended to
have a balcony-which is on
the second floor - because
jefferson had designed sew

ginia, which were finally
completed with a balcony.

Quite a few Parisians want
to try all those forbidden"
countries through curiosity
or "snobbism" and with the
firm conviction Of democrat

Those who Just want sun
and fun in well-known places
have other new possibilities.
Corsica, for instance, offers
some Of its ancient observa-
ton towers for dining. They
will be rented for nine years
renewable; the lessee
doesn't pay rent, but has to
remodel the tower at his own
cost. AS real estate prices have
skyrocketed on the island
during the last years those
offers seem well worth con-
Sidering.
Real Luxury
An organization on the
Balearic Islands has found
another solution. For about
$3.50 you can buy a small
but luxurious apartment with
two rooms, bath, kitchen and
terrace in a modern hotel
equipped with garden, SWIM
ming pool and restaurant.
When you are away "Apar-
totel" rents your flat for you,
providing you with a nice
little income. If you want q
change you may stay in one
Of the six other hotels Of
the company on the Spanish
coast or at the Canary
Islands.
And why not stay at home
and discover a new part of
France? The French tourist
organizations have recently
launched q big campaign to
send vacationers to all the
picturesque but "underdevel-
oped" parts Of the country,
places In the center and the
southwest of France.
One Of those spots is al

the "Camargue," the swampy
region north and west of
Marseille, where rice and
horses are grown. A curious
atmosphere of French cow
boy life, very much influenced
by the American West, has
developed here. Everybody
wants to be or at least to
look like a "Gardian"-a local
cowboy. Rodeos are organized

yer about that. Went into II
in some detail. / have no con-
troll over the court but !
think it would be a major
step forward if we could get
Mr.. Meredith in the univer-
sity before they hear that
case tomorrow morning.
N General, If they
get me in Jail / will have to
sit up there. / hate to do that
but l can do it.
RFK: Sit up where?
N Sit in Jail. I'm
trying to uphold the law.
RFK: If you can get this
fellow in the university this
evening a lot of our problems
would be resolved. Why does
anyone have to know this
fellow is coming there until
| should call you
N We have had
several hundred men
RFK: Can't he come in a
gate and / call and say this
conversation has not taken
place and he is coming
through such and such a
gate?
N Yes
RFK: Again there is a
question of law enforcement
but | would have to rely on
you that law enforcement
would be preserved. / can't
do that with Is men. l would
have to rely on you.
N General, this
thing could be handled a lot
better if we wait a few more
days on the Meredith case.
He is not suffering. Just q
few days until the case is
settled.
RFK: AS your lawyer
would tell you, they brought
all these judges from all over
the country. The whole cir
cult is coming to hear the
case. That's the difficulty.
N All 9 judges?
RFK: They are there to-
night in New Orleans. l can't
tell them to 60 home. I have
no control over this. This is
the court. They're mad at me
but they're madden at you.
Will they gel
an idea we compromised this
thing? Will the judges think
we settled this thing? They
won't be thinking we COM
promised this case?
RFK: You mean-if he gets
in, that's what they are pri-
marily interested in.
N General, hold
just a second here. General,
l am sorry to have to keep
you SO long but we will get
busy here and do our dead
level best to keep people -

worried about and I'll see
