Spain Budget Joy For Tourist Trade Report Two Million Tourists Lost Year MADRID, (INS) — The Spanish Tourist Bureau predicts final figures will show two million foreign tourists -- 40 times as many as a decade agcn-visited Spain in 1954. About 200,000 of these were Americans, an increase of 40 percent over 19&3 figure, the Bureau reported. Other statistics show that about half of the Americans who visit Europe come to Spain. Tourists to Spain spend only S2O a head on the average. Big dollar expenditures by Americans are balanced by the thousands of Europeans who come here on bicycles or motorcycles and camp out or stay in cheap pensions. Spain is still one of the cheapest countries to visit. Although deluxe hotels ire about as expensive as elsewhere, first class accommodations are available for a maximum 160 pesetas ($4) a day in Madrid and less in the provinces. Room-and-board pensions for the average tourist run about 60 to jsO pesetas ($1.50 to $2) a day. However, persons traveling almost constantly are burdened by a 20 percent indirect tat for their first day in each hotel or pension. In Madrid alone 500 million pesetas ($12.5 million) have been spent in recent years to build six luxury hotels, bringing the total up to nine. Sixteen state-run “paradors” or de luxe inns are scattered over Spain's picturesque sports and guarantee tourists a comfortable stay. They are usually old hostels or monasteries that have been modernized. The Tourist Bureau runs also 14 ‘ albergues” and two “refugios”, similar to the paradors but not so sumptuos. Because Spain’s travel and hotel accomodations are still limited reservations should be made as much in advance as possible during Spain's big festival days. These are, in chronological order: The “fallas,” a sort of Shrove Tuesday carnival in which huge cardboard and papier-mache floats are burned in the streets amidst much clamor — in Valencia at the end of March; Holy Week’s sumptions religious iaHy in Seville, Madrid, Valladolid, Cuenca and Salamanca; the Seville Fair, which is virtually the opening of the bullfight season at the end of April; the Pamplona "enclerro”, or bull run through the small northern city's streets on July 7; and the Granada music festivals In early July, where wellknown orchestra directors and soloists from the world over play classical music. ■

». > — DETROIT — A revolutionary new suspension system which eliminates coil and leaf springs and new V-8 engines with the highest horsepower for automobiles are the outstanding advances of the 1965 Packards and Clippers in dealer showrooms January 17. Heading the Clipper line of five models for the medium priced field is the Constellation, , hardtop- (above). Termed the most important development in riding comfort and safety since the introduction of front coil springs in 1934, torsion bar suspension appears for the first time on a production car. The engineering term “torsion" means twisting. As shown in the diagram, two long steel bars running the length of the car take the shock of road bumps and dips by twisting. This means these road shocks do not reach the car frame and car passengers. A separate load compensator keeps the rear end of the car level with the front end regardless of passenger or luggage weight. Packard's new “TorsionLevel Ride” provides a flat, constant, level ride at all times. Rear end drop on acceleration is elimU *
Interesting spots for sight-seers are the Moorish mosque in Cordoba, Seville’s Giralda or Moorish prayer tower, the Alhambra palace in Granada, the walled city of Avila and Segovia's aqueduct, both built by the Romans, and in Santiago the baroque cathedral and the "Hostal de los Reys CatOlicos” (The Inn of the Catholic Kings), a JOU-year-old ’Royal Hospital which has been modernised at a cost of $2 milllotf to accomodate 472 guests in its 273 rooms. San Sebastian, summer seat of the Spanish government is Spain’s smartest resort during July and August, but most tourists prefer the more relaxed atmosphere of the Balearic Islands, which are becoming more and more tourist conscious and account for 5 to 10 percent of Spain's entire tourist trade. Torremolinos, near Malaga, is the most chie winter resort. Up to recent yeprs the British practically monopolized the southern coastal town, but it is now becoming a fashionable American hangout, too. _J More Booflegging Reported In Slate Report 677 Arrests Made During Year INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—The Indiana alcoholic beverage commission today reported a two-edge cause and effect pattern in Hoosier bootlegging last year. The ABC said licensed tavern operators were more law-abiding in 1954 and consequently bootlegging picked up. At least arrests of bootleggers increased some 350 to 677 pinches in the year. Increasing the excise force from 72 operators to 100 helped put the clamp on the “blind tiger” operators trying to cash in on the after hour and Sunday drinkers not being served by licensed operators. The chief said his agency raided 11 illegal liquor stills, highest number of raids in one year since prohibition. Most Operators said high taxation on liquor led them to distill their own. Miller added that the minordrinking problem was about the same as in 1953. The department arrested 105 juvertiles for entering the premises where liquor is sold and cited 246 permittees for sales to minors in 1954. San Francisco—About one-tenth of a cubic foot of krypton, a colorless and odorless gas, is found in one million cubic feet of air. Puerto Rico is about three times the size of Rhode Island.

Packard’s new V-8 engines range from 225 horsepower, 245 in the Constellation, up to 275 in * the Packard line. Teamed with this new family of engines is a Twin-Ultramatic transmission, which gives either smooth start or rapid breakaway ac- 4 celeration. A new safety feature is a windshield wiper specifically designed for a sweep-around windshield, because it cleans the curved areas. There are more than 100 other engineering ad-’ vancements in addition to distinctive new styling for both the Clippers and the luxury line of Packards. . The can are the end result of the Packard program launched two yean ago by James J, Nance, Studebaker-Packard president, which has brought the company a new young management team, the most modem production plants in the industry, and dealership service, in 4,000 cities and towns. —

Pint-Sized Play Wear By International News Service Taking pre-school children along on that mid-winter holiday to sunnier lands doesn’t have to mean extra work for vacationing moth* - ers. The youngest cruise fashions take to soap and water as welt as they take to the beach.
