Heavy Holiday Travel Reported In Nation Transportation In Nation Is Disrupted Ry United Press The holiday rush for home by servicemen and civilians already has produced the worst transportation tieup in the nation's history and Christmas still is four days away. Thousands are being turned away from ticket windows for lack of accommodations. Standing room has been sold out. Train platforms are filled with disappointed passengers. Air reservations are gone completely for the holiday season. One west coast fine reports it has three or four times as many reservations as seat?. Trains are running as much as eight hours behind schedule, even though such important terminals as Chicago are running 69 extra trains a day. Seattle bus lines say all passengers are being accommodated there, but runs are falling behind schedule. Ur* Angeles reports air, rail and bus travel in southern California is unusually heavy, but crowds are being handled with a minimum of delay. Minneapolis reports trains, busses and planes are on time — but adds the greatest rash isn't expected for a little while longer. The reports from across the nation Indicate that civilians are traveling heavily despite the office of defense transportation's plea that men in uniform be given first opportunity to travel.

Have you seen the Express?" “No, not yet!" “Well, Hall has a whale of a story. Os course you got the confession and l'n> not snatching any of your orchids, Mary, but that guy was THERE ! He's got a whale of a yarn about seeing Raymond walking around in her nightgown washing her hands, kind of Lady Macbeth, when ha blew in looking for Proust As long as you haven't gone you might try and get a statement from Proust—l haven't been able to locate him. It seems that Hall—" I let him tell me the story. The story I should have told him. The story I kept silent on to shield my FRIEND HaUI “listen,” I said. "The reason that you didn't find Proust in his studio or at the hotel is because he’s out celebrating his engagement to my room-mate, Peggy Hudson ... Uhhuh, Hudson, H, as in heel, u, d, s, o, n..,. Yea, I can get pictures. 11l write the story too if you want, but I thought it could go as a fudge on the Final Night, and 111 give you the rest for tomorrow... .* Jan was looking at me, hurt and reproachful.

then I got the caviar we'd been saving for something special off the top shelf, and Jan went downstairs for more stuff for cocktails. In the hall he met Sam Utz and his wife, and slapping each other on the back. McMurry and Miss Martin, and they ail came back with him, and it turned into a real party with everyone pumping everyone else'* hand, and slapping each other on the back. Sam Utz got very tight and began singing, “Oh Promise Me,” very much off key, so Madame Hurd and Mr. McMurry couldn't stand that, and they began singing too, and one thing led to another. So the next thing we knew Frank Heney, our camera man blew in, to take pictures of Peg and Jan. Then it was ten minutes to eight, and my plane leaving at eight-thirty, and my ticket to pick up at the airport and everything! Frank drives like a demon anyway, so he packed Peg and Jan and me and all my bags into his car, along the Bayshore highway 1 baitypewriter, and while we roared along the Bayshore highway 1 balanced the portable on my knee and rapped out the engagement story far Frank to take in to the office, along with his pictures. I finished just as we turned into the airport and, while I dashed for the ticket, Jan took care of the bags. There was the plane, all silvery and shiny waiting to take off, with people saying good-byes, and everything beautiful and clear and starry after the rain. “Three, minutes,” Frank panted, “Just time for one quickie, to drink to the bride and groom!" We dashed into the bar, all of us out of breath and me wishing I were safely aboard, worried to death that the plane would go off without me while Frank reeled eff an elaborate and fiowery toast ami as people rushed in and out, I could bear the sound of the motor tunJan*took me by the arm and somebody pulled me up the steps. The stewardess led me up front to an empty stmt. Peg and Jan and Frank were waving, and 1 waved back. We taxied around in a great circle and back down the runway again. Then I felt the plane lifting, and we were on our way in the quiet night, the lights of the airport far below. I leaned back aal sighed. I was ®*» "ffW. I was clear of the Hollar building.
