The Stampede Has Started In Istanbul ISTANBUL—Five centuries at ter Greeks and Turks engaged in bitter conflict around its ancient walls, the city of Istanbul faces the modern conflict of trucks and automobiles, streetcars and pedes trians, all seeking room to move. Beside the Golden Horn, auto matic traffic signals of American design, parking meters, garages, and parking lots are proposed to solve problems having origins in a city founded when men rode horses. Istanbul is a great seaport, btn it is menaced on the land side by bottlenecks. The Galata Bridge over the world famous Golden Horn is one of the bottlenecks. At rush huurs. traffic slows to a crawl as . commuters jam into an area where there is not only the bridge, but : the ferry to the Bosporus, the streetcar to Bebek and the tunnel to the heights of Bcyoglu tPera). Stamboul Modernizing The Golden Horn is a curving in 1 let into the shoreline of Europe. Even in the days when the great city that straddles this inlet was called Constantinople, the section to the south was known as Stam boul. South from Galata Bridge, the view now includes not only an un paralleled panorama of minarets and mosque domes, but a steel and concrete picture composed of the city's leading department stores, its central post office, the railway station for the Orient Express, and fine educational institutions* all m Stamboul. Left behind on the north bank is Istanbul's most noticeable sky scraper. the Galata Tower, center of the Genoese colony and office of foreign ambassadors. Movies Draw Crowds Normal business traffic in the Galata bottleneck is swelled by movement of pleasure seekers from the coffee shops and the mos que courts of Stamboul to the movie palaces, night clubs, casino and open-air opera of Beyoglu. Western visitors are intrigued by the city's two-car trams, now facing stern competition from taxis, buses, and private cars So crowded are these streetcars that ■ honest passengers pass their fares along to the conductor through several hands

Traveling Salesmen Jokes Not Funny Then CHICAGO—There may be a lot of jokes about traveling salesmen to day. but there was nothing tunny about the travels of a salesman a thousand years ago Commercial travelers of the time spent the^r days dodging mud-holes in the unpaved roads and their nights looking for decent lodging - History research experts report that ' Flemish merchants in rural districts were often forced to stop at crossroads hovels. There, they would sleep wrapped in their own cloaks and lying on benches in a mean, crowded room ." ' Hotels” circa 1000 A D , did not furnish sheets because linen was too expensive and cotton in those days was virtually unknown in Eu | rope. Blankets, when available. were invariably dirty and flea ! laden As a rule mattresses were j even worse and filled with lumps and lice. In fact, guests were kept so busy tossing and scratching they bad little time to worry about : trivial things lute "morning back ache.” In larger towns, the inns offered crude sleeping attics which were reached by steep ladders leading from the public rooms downstairs. Among the special features of these attic dormitories were rows of hard beds and lively rats and mice which raced about the straw-cov ered floor at night or gnawed ! busily on the dusty and mud-caked boots of the weary, torpid guests. Other appointments” included small, dirty "windows'' that were shuttered tightly " gainst the peril ous rnght air.”

Fifth Pair of Twins Alarms Burma Papa RANGOON, Burma—A Chinese mother who has given birth to four sets of twins within four years pre- 1 pared for another visit to a matern ity home here. Her physician, after a thorough examination, told her she would have a fifth pair of twins. Her husband, a merchant, sighed and said. “This must stop."
