Whites American Negro Folk
Songs (Harvard, 1929 are
the selections.
Your regular book dealer
can order most of the titles
on the list for you; even those
few that are out of print are
not too hard to find.
And if you duplicated the
basically excellent White
House American music book
shelf in your own home, you
might not have the answer to
every question that would
come up, but you would have
a solid nucleus around which
to build a thoroughly repre-

NEWS FROM HERE-The
Board of Directors of the Ma
tiOnal Federation Of Music
Clubs, and the Council of
State Presidents in the same
organization, hold their an
nual fall session at the May
flower Hotel here Friday

when the seven winners of
the NFMC 1868 Young Ar
lists Additions will perform
before an audience which will
include representatives of the
so States, the District of Co
lumbia and the Common

Young Artist winners, will
play the premiere Of Esther
BallOu's "Capriccio for Violin

The white House library
will not consist Of books
alone. During his recent state
visit to Germany the Presi-

cordings of Beethoven's nine
symphonies, played by the
Berlin Philharmonic un der
the direction of Herbert Won
Karajan. The presentation

gether with an illustrated
booklet, were encased in a
specially made leather bound
box.

Two Major Points
In this business of attract
ing more visitors from abroad
two things should be said.
First, in objective market
studies In principal countries,
we have found that more peo-
pie would rather come to the
United States than to go to
any other destination. Second
they Immediately counter that
by saying they think it is either
too far or too expensive.
We are trying to overcome
this. In helping to overcome
this, we have got this great
thing of American enterprise.
One automobile firm is now
putting together a package
with a major motel chain so
that for a fixed price per day
a person will not only have an
automobile, but all his lodging
covered, and yet be completely
independent, which is what
they like to be.

elers to fudge a bit on their
statements.
Second, we have found there
is a particular inclination by
Americans who handle visitors
from overseas to take a little
bit Of extra care Of these peo-
pie.
@. Has your program had
any added benefit in encour-
aging Americans to see more Of
their own land?
A. The answer, of course, Is
we distribute our literature
abroad. As a result, not many
United States citizens have
seen 1t.
We are finding that as we
enlist the interest and the help
of Americans In this program,
both In the travel industry and
the general public. they are be-
coming fascinated by what the
foreign visitor is finding of in
terest in this country.
1t is frequently encouraging
Americans to go out and ex-
plore things that they haven't
shown an interest in before
As we said, the American now
finds that he is the picturesque
native other people want to
take pictures of.

constantly stress that they will
be welcome and be treated with
great American hospitality.
q. The tourist traditionally
Is a sucker who is vulnerable
to sharpsters wherever he goes.
Is this a problem for you?
A. Well, there are two basic
factors working for us on that.
First, the innate honesty of the
American. AS an example, the
customs section of the Treas
ury Department now accepts at
Honolulu and Miami and Idle
wild the oral declaration on
customs. That means the in
bound traveller, be he Ameri-
can or foreign, who has any,
thing dutiable to declare is
taken at his word.
Customs declarations are
holding about steady, despite
the fact that this would IN
crease the opportunity for trav-

dance" This was the highlight
Of the whole trip.
@. How much is your cur
rent budget?
A. The budget for fiscal year
1858 was $685. million. That
was for everything, including a
total Of SO employees.
That is less than several
cities budgets to promote trav-
ell. The most encouraging thing
is the fact that private enter
prise has added, since we came
into existence, at least 81 mil

money backing up the visit
U.S.A." campaign.
United States air lines,
steamship companies and rail-
roads IN many cases have
doubled or tripled efforts to
bring people here.
In the past, the lack Of de-
tailed knowledge overseas about
travel In the United States has
been serious. For example. we
found many travel agents who
couldn't tell people how to get
from Washington to Mount
Vernon. Now, they have this
sort Of information In depth

constitute a very large share of
the international market, but
remember, the rest of the world
Is gaining on us In income and
purchasing power. Their desire
to travel can give us a tremen-
dous market that we have Just
barely tapped.
@. Are these people from
other countries who visit the
United States generally happy
about their travel experiences
here?
Tastes Surprise
A. Yes. We make a survey of
people In major markets for
United States travel before
they come here, and then after
they have left. Some things
that we thought would be pop
ular turned out not to be so.
@. Can you give some
examples?
A. Well, major cities. The de-
sire of visitors to spend q lot
Of time in cities is not nearly
as great as we had supposed.
They want to get out and
see all of our country-the
natural wonders like Niagara
Falls, the Grand Canyon, and
even Disneyland. You must re-
member that most of these
people come from terribly over
crowded parts of the world,
Arizona is about the size of
Great Britain, yet Great Brit
ain has So million people and
Arizona has only million.
Surveys we have made Of de-
parting visitors have given US
interesting insights.
For instance, before people
come over to the United States
the city they most want to
visit is New York, and after
wards it is San Francisco they
want most to return to.
The thing that is most con-
sistently objected to is the
noise, dirt and hustle Of the
American city. They seem as
tonished that we take such poor
care of our cities.
The thing that impresses
them most is the genuine hos
pitality Of the American people.
One person said, 81 think the
difference between an Ameri-
can when he gets out from
behind the counter and when
he is in front of the counter is
tremendous. There seems a
sense of hostility when the
man is behind the counter, but
when he is in the street, and
I am lost, or wish to change
my money. the American is the
most hospitable man in the
world"
Origin Of Visitors
@. Obviously, our visitors
must come from the more
prosperous countries? Are we
getting many visitors from AZ
RIGA?
A. The United States Travel
Service didn't go abroad until
we had surveyed our real po-
tential. This survey resulted in
our establishing overseas offices
in London, Paris, Frankfurt,
Rome, Sac Paulo, Bogota, Mex
leo City, Sidney and Tokyo.
Out of these nine offices we
serve As countries.
We find that working out Of
these offices we are tapping
some countries that are prov
ing valuable. Venezuela, for ex-
ample, which we serve from
our Bogota office, produced
$4,000 visitors in 1862.

than 2 per cent of the visitors

De Cuu||e Has The Key

Western Europe demands that they play
major role.
This may be rather hard for Wash
ington to swallow. President De Gaulle
has not endeared himself to the u. S.
government by insisting that France
needs its own nuclear force and cannot
be dependent on NATO. Nor has he
made friends among the Western pow
ers by refusing to pay special United
Nations assessments for Congo and
Middle East peace-keeping operations.
These apparent Withdrawals from
full involvement in the Western alli-
ance and the free world should not be
allowed to divert our attention from the
strategic Importance of France, both
militarily and otherwise. The French
position has been troublesome, but we
cannot assume that De Gaulle is neces-
sarily wrong on all points. Washington
Paris talks should be undertaken with
out undue delay.
Milford chronicle., 1963-08-16

President Kennedy's European trip,
which involved such a careful skirting
of France, has by that very act focused
even greater attention on Charles De
Gaulle's challenge to American leader
ship of the Western alliance The need
for thorough discussion between De
-Gaulle and Mr.. Kennedy has been newly
and strongly emphasized.
Some of the early reports on the
Presidents triumphant progression in
Western Germany made rather sopho-
moric point of comparing the size and
enthusiasm of the crowds with those
that had greeted De Gaulle in the same
area. Questions about policy-making in
the Atlantic community will not be solv-
ed by the cheering crowds. Agreement
on such matters must be hammered out

In the way of pastries and cakes,
and even dinners, our wonderful mass
production techniques have given us the
frozen foods, even frozen meals AS
good as many of these items are, a froz-
en- meal can hardly equal meal which
some good cook has spent few hours
preparing in the kitchen.
It is only natural that we rejoice
when we can get good, home grown
summer vegetables at this time of year,
often from growers who do not grow to
ship their product thousands of miles,
and which taste like honest, farm pro-
duce. This is the time of the year to en-
joy these blessings.

The Food We Eat

The United States has given the
world many things. Mass production
has given the average U. S. citizen more
consumer goods, appliances and house
hold gadgets, at lower cost, than any
other people ever enjoyed.
But mass production has also given
us some questionable dividends in the
field of dining and foods. We all like
home-baked food but there are too many
of us these days, and mass produced
food is more practical. 1t also tastes
very fine too.
-. We all like melons and vegetables
which grow slowly and which do not
ship too we'll. But the keen-minded
grower plants what grows fastest and
what ships best. AS result, we eat

Space Compel tition

There are pitfalls in trying to re-
member the words Of a song one has
not attempted lately, but recollection
says that one bit of singing dialogue
starts like this: Anything you can do,
l can do better" Which brings the re-
joinder, 81 can do anything better than
you."
That is the way things are between
the United States and Russia so far as
space flight is concerned. Ever since
-Sputnik |, the worlds only two ma
tions with space capability have engag-
ed in race whose theme song might
be that reiterated line, II can do any
thing better than you."
The flight of Gordon Cooper % times
around the planet is the latest case in
point. The Russians had already sent
men on comparable journeys. Now we
can make the claim, with some justifi-
cation, that we did it better. Cooper's
multiple orbiting was a superb ex-
ample of highly skilled teamwork. 1t
brilliantly sets the stage for the pro-
jected Gemini two-man orbital flight,

NEW THEATER TAX

NEW YORK (AP) = Broadway
producers are pondering the ef-
fects of New York City's new oc-
cupancy tax on theater rentals.
The specified levy is S per
cent on annual rentals above
$4,000. Producers argue that
part of payments made to theater
owners percentage of box
office gross are not rental but
cover certain operating and main
tenance costs.
The city previously had a di-
rect S per cent tax on tickets,
but cancelled that charge two
years ago because of Broadway's
plea for economic relief.

sized, land between superhigh-
way and the ocean or near to
large lakes or rivers will con-
tinue to become more valuable.
For many hundreds Of years
there will be a surplus o1
ordinary land, but the supply OF
land bordering navigable waters
will constantly become scarcer
and more In demand. Don't put
all your money into stocks and
bonds. Well-located land and
well-behaved "kids" will be-
come the best investments,
whatever our form of govern
ment.
PREPARE FOR CHANGES
I think it was President
Franklin Roosevelt who stated,
"The only thing we can count
on as permanent is change"
Hence this is my thought this
week: The form of schools and
colleges will completely change.
Many patients, clients, and Gus
toners now with independent
doctors, lawyers, and "Indian
Chiefs" will become more
SocialiStic. Taxes will be
higher, but the average house
holder will get more for his
money.
It will be harder to live on
inherited money. The old say
ing, "The rich get richer and
the poor get poorer" will be
revised. Our children and
grandchildren will prosper ac-
cording to what they contribute
in honest labor to the general
welfare of all.
