Fun and Famines :

"By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Jan. 5—It was quite a trip. I know it must have been a good vacation, because I am twice as tired as if I had stayed home and worked. ! : We went back to Tangier, that sinful city on the North African coast, and it hasn’t changed much, except it’s twice as big, twice as rich, and twice as sinful. 3 There are 50 banks now, and more a-building. Anybody who isn't a banker is duty-bound to be a smuggler. There are so many smugglers that they dre having a depression in the trade. I knew it was going to be a good trip, because I almost drowned myself getting off the ship. Capt. Bill Kuhne stopped his new ship in the heavily rolling sea, just outside the Straits of Gibraltar, to let me shinny over the side. The little boat zigged the ‘big boat zagged, and there was our hero, hanging by his wrists. I was saved by my trusty Arab guide, Mohammed Karok, who came to the rescue in another boat. He was carrying an umbrella: I guess he didn’t want me to get wet, ” My old--friends, George, -the expatriate Aus-: tralian, and Dean, the cynical bartender, were waiting for me on the quay. ) “Hello,” sald George, “how are you there's a countess at the bottom of the harbor. All very mysterious. I have just been touring the Sahara in a seaplane with Sir Cyril. How did you say you were?”

GEORGE is Tangier's Alexander Woolcott. He collects gossip. like a magpie, and polishes it with his beak until it gleams, - I had brought Master Dean, the bartender and local social arbiter, a waring mixer. The customs man asked what was in the box. —TwGateaux,” sald my trusty Arab —“Just-eakes.” “Alors,” said the customs man, “they seem to meé to be very heavy cakes.” “Zut alors,” replied Mohammed testily. makes cakes that way in IL’Amerique.” - warilg mixer passed, duty-free.

Dean didn’t get much use out of ‘it, though. Tangier was having a famine in water and electric lights. “That is Tangier,” sald Dean, wearily. “Molyneux dresses on its women, and no lights. Champagne and Rolls-Royces and no water to shave with.” ~ * Cok There is a new countess in Tangier, now, who has 42 dogs, 21 horses, two dozen cats, and assorted parrots, macaws and cockatoos. The dogs and birds all livé in her bedroom. I know. She showed me, The first who ever braves her boudoir, to be suddenly met by 42 chihuahuas and a dozen screaming birds, will most certainly abandon crime for the Salvation Army. It is a shocking spectacle.

Pretty Much the Same : MEN of mystery still come and go. I spent an afternoon chatting with a member of the Quisling cabinet, who was escaping Norway in his yacht, and who had been arrested in Tangier. Next day he was gone-—spirited off by small boat to his waiting yacht. ‘Just as I left, a fresh countess checked in, loaded with dough. The first thing shé bought was a de luxe Cadillac. It develops that George and his sidekick, a baronet of ancient line, actually did brave the Sahara in a seaplane. They had horrible troubles) for they kept trying to land in mirages, It cured Sir Cyril of flying. The plane sits now at the local airfield. Bees have started a hive in its wings. The stock market is still conducted in a moving picture house. Europe's finances are controlled there in the morning, and in the afternoon and nights M. Gable gets Mlle. Garson. I was delayed in cashing a check at a bank because the man ahead of me was depositing 2000 gold double eagles. cet periment deine In the same day I had a nine-course lunch in an Arab palace, stumbled over Tennessee Williams, and watched a Spanish girl beat up her boy friend, a former colonel from Texas. Tangier, I guess, 1s pretty much the same. !

Changing Times

By William McGaffin

WARRINGTON, England, Jan. 5—The. local lassies here can see a big difference in wartime GI Joe and GI Junior who is carrying out the postwar American “invasion” of England.

Like brother he likes a good time. But—he

doesn’t throw his money around and he doesn’t get married. “ This grimy factory town has’ become a leave center again for the boys from the repair depot at Burtonwod, five miles. .away, where 3000 GI's keep 'em flying on ihe Berlin airlift. The Yanks-come to town every night to have fun in the pubs, the’ movie theaters and the jitterbugging dance halls. Some even wander as far as Manchester, the Midlands metropolis, 20 miles away, catching a 5 a.m, train that gets them back to the base, in time for the 6:30 roll call. It's the same story over in London, the big leave town for the boys from the B-29 bases on the East Coast.

Air Force Becomes Thrifty THERE ARE girls galore in both Warrington and Lincoln. Many of them have come in from outside to compete with the Jocal. female population. There are so many girls, most of them Yankhappy, that it's hard for a GI to be alone, Yet the GI doesn’t spend much money. And wedding bells haven't rung once. ? This is especially surprising to the people of Lancashire around Burtonwood. More GI brides came from those parts during the war than from anywhere else in England—so many, in fact, that their mothers are now considering chartering a ship to visit them in America. Why this change in the GI? i The local folks think maybe he just hasn't the cash. He has. But that hysterical urge to blow your pay today for you may not live to spend it

Gl Jr. Gets ‘Cooling. Off’ .. THERE ARE" some eligible bachelors, of course. But many of there are. pink-cheeked recruits of 19 over whom the Air Force exercises a paternal restraint. Before a GI can get married, he has to get the permission of his commanding officer. This permission is not granted unless he can prove that he has enough income, either from his pay or from outside sources, to support a wife. And even then he must wait from 60 to 90 days. The Afr Force calls this 90-day delay “cool«ing off period.” | The B-29 boys on the East Coast change every 90 days. Thus, none of them is here long enough to get married. By the time a GI sweats out the | “cooling off” period he is on his way home. Some, however, have gotten engaged and hope to get} their girls over to the States to marry them later on. Rp

The boys at Burtonwood are on a differen status. They are here permanently. From the ‘way the cold war is going, at least a year or two. | Some of the Burtonwood boys are bound to get married fh that time. For the hospitable people of Lancashire are inviting them into their homes, giving them a chance to meet nice girls who stand out in shining contrast to the frivolous creatures that walk the streets of Warrington
