French Policemen Polite
To American Women Drivers
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
Paris (U.R) French police
men are very polite when they
arrest American women drivers.
They touch the brims of their
jaunty caps in a friendlly salute,
politely ask for your "permis de
conduire' and do not mutter an
audible word about "les femmes
conducteurs."
As an American femme driver
newly initiated into the ways of
European roads, I pass along this
reassuring news as well as some
other comforting travel tips to
the thousands of Americans plan
ning to travel by car in foreign
countries this summer.
Women are perfectly safe on
the highways, even when lan
guage is a barrier. Road signs
in France and Italy thoughtfully
have pictures illustrating each
warning, including cars skidding
on slick roads and men working.
Few Sports Cars
The highways are not roaring
lanes of low-slung foreign sports
cars throbbing with 200-horse-power
motors. Most of those
glamorous automobiles seem to
be in the United States. Many
times two-cylinder motor scoot
ers passed four-cylinder midget-sized
Renault as we cautiously
rounded corners high on cliffs
overlooking the Mediterranean.
But we saw only half a dozen
racy sports cars in six days
travel.
. Filling station attendants react
quickly to pantomime when for
eign words fail. My feminine
traveling companion repeatedly
got the gas tank filled in Italy
simply by pointing at the tank
with one hand and patting her-1
self on top of the head with the
other.
As in most cases of discovered
crime, however, it is the little
things most likely to trip you up
when driving in strange coun
tries. I honked my horn in Nice,
France. I had been circling a
block while my friend contacted
the American Express Office for
railroad tickets to Paris, since
there are no more places to park
in Nice than in New York. My
honking was to attract her street
corner' attention. .
Tourist Ticketed
A white-hatted policeman ad'
vanced toward the car as I honk
ed.. He leaned down compan-
lonably and said "C'est impossi
ble." Then he touched his cap
Studio Announces

Everybody knows the fabu
lous face and figure but
who knows the girl behind
them? Here for the first
time is her real story with
her own answers to often
asked questions. And don't
miss the glamour photos in
full color!
Marilyn answers
questions like these:
Are you and Joe Di Mag
gio stili friends? ("Yes. but
I still don't know anything
about baseball")
How do you feel now
.about the ceiebrated nude
calendar photograph? ("I'm
saving a copy for my grand
children.") Has anyone ever accused
you of wearing falsiei?

brim and smiled. I smiled back
and honked some more.
"C'est impossible!" he said
more sternly, pointing at the
car horn. I got the idea, but too
late. A small crowd of grinning
Frenchmen gathered while the
policeman took my international
driver's license and wrote out a
long, detailed ticket.
The ticket would arrive by
mail, a bystander explained help
fully as the policeman finished
his writing and prepared to
leave.
I started to suggest he'd be
smarter to settle for ready cash,
then returned his smile in silence
instead and drove off through
the satisfied-looking spectators.
Everybody seemed pleased
with the scene. Only later did I
discover from a longtime Nice
resident that the fine was the
least important part of the arrest.
It really was the scene that
counted.
"Pour les touristes," the Riv
iera resident grinned.
