Nation's Capital Draws Six
Visitors Per Year
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Washington (UPD The na
tion's capital draws more than
6 million tourists a year.
Most of them visit the
White House, the Capitol, the
Washington Monument, the
Lincoln Memorial, Mount Ver
non, Arlington Cemetery, the
Smithsonian Institution and
the Tidal Basin where the
cherry trees blossom briefly in
late March or early April. A
few determined ones also see
the Library of Congress and
the Supreme Court.
All these places are well
worth visiting. But there are
many other things to see and
do in Washington, which most
tourists miss.
Bill on Display
For example, have you ever
had the urge to see a real
$100,000 bill? There's one on
display, along with many oil
er rare samples of U. S. sur
rency, at the Bureau of En-
graving and Printing. A tour
through the bureau also gives
you a close-up look at the
way U. S. paper money and
stamps are produced. One tip:
don't ask ,the guides if they
give out samples. This joke
has been worn out.
Another rarely visited mU'
seum is at the Patent Office,
in the Commerce Department
building. There you can see
the original models of many
famous inventions as well as
some weird contraptions
which have been patented
over the years.
Stamp collectors, especially
should make a point of visit
ing the Post Office Depart
ment, which has more than
100,000 stamps on display in
one of the world's greatest
philatelic exhibits.
Exploration, Adventure
If vour interests run to ex'
ploration and adventure, don't
miss the National Geographic
Society's building on Six
teenth st. In "Explorer's Hall"
you'll find such things asthe
flag which Commodore Peary
d anted at the Norm roie
.The National Archives
Building on Pennsylvania ave,
contains the originals of many
great documents of U. S. his-
tory, including the Declara
tion of Independence, the Con
stitution and Lincoln's Eman
cipation Proclamation.
A must especially if there
are youngsters in the party, is
a visit to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. Just go to the
Justice Department building
on Pennsylvania avenue and
tell them you want "the FBI
tour." You'll see, among other
things, John Dillinger's gun,
plans for the Boston Brink's
robbery and other souvenirs
of notorious crimes and crim
inals.
Lovers of literature should
not miss the Folger Shake
speare Library, behind the Su
preme Court building. It has a
priceless collection of first fol
ios of Shakespeare's plays.
Doctors and nurses will
want to see the National Insti
tutes of Health in suburban
Bethesda, Md.
Farmers, Foresters
Farmers and foresters
should plan a side expedition
to Beltsville, Md., 15 miles out
of Washington, the site of the
world-famous Experimental
Station of the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.

New York - ft'PD - Few peo
ple think about their insur
ance while traveling until
they reach the flight cover
age counter at the airport
and planning like that is
about on a par with going to
Paris in summer without a
hotel reservation.
Don Johnson, a Columbus,
Ohio, insurance executive
who also is a seasoned trav
eler. said it's best to start
checking out coverage at the
same time the itinerary
decided becauij "it avoids
any last minute emergency.'
Johnson, who is a vice pres
ident-underwriting of Nation
wide Insurance company
cited the examp'e of a recent
seven week around - the-
world trip. He planned to go
entirely by plane.
Distance by Plane
But before he got back to
Columbus he had traveled by
car in Malaya, taken an un
expected 250-mile train ride
in India and used a boat in
Australia. If hi had settled
for only flight insurance
instead of additional accident
and common carrier coverage
he and his family would
have been unprotected in

that belonged to George Wash

Washington also has some event oi nis injury or aeaui
of the world's most beautiful
and interesting houses of wor
ship. National Cathedral
which looms over the city
from the top of Mount St. Al
ban, will be the sixth largest
pure Gothic church in the
world when completed. There
is the newly completed Roman
Catholic Shrine of the Immac
ulate Conception, a $30 mil
lion Romanesque - Byzantine
edifice in Northeast Washing
ton.
One of the few Islamic
Mosques in the Western Hemi
sphere can be found on Mas
sachusetts Avenue, overlook
ing Rock Creek Park. It's mo

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
By RALPH VILLERS
United Pren International
New York - (UPD - Going
places this summer? If so, it
would be a great idea to get
your travel documents in or
der weeks before departure.
The really vital one is a
U.S. passport, unless your
travels will be confined to
Canada, Mexico and the Ca
ribbean area, where none is
required.
Unless you live in a big city
where there is a Passport
Agency office and consequent
fast service by teletype, it
may take several days to pro
cess the application through
the designated office in your
community and get the pass
port back In the mall.
Need Birth Certificate
More time probably is lost
bv people who don't have
their birth certificate to
company the application than
in the actual processing oy
the federal government. For
example, one Michigan native
living in New York had to
exchange letters three times
with officials in her home
state, with a delay of several
days each time, before trac
ing down her birth certificate.
People headed for Europe
will find that for the most
part, a U.S. citizen does not
need a visa. The exceptions
are Iceland, Yugoslavia, Rus
sia and the Soviet bloc coun
tries of Bulgaria. Czechoslo
vakia, Hungary, Poland and
Romania.
The visa situation can get
much more complicated for
someone heading toward La
tin America, Asia or Africa.
While many of our Central
and South American neigh
bors do not require visas,
practically all require tourist
cards.
Require Certificate
A few even require a police
certificate of good conduct. It
can easily be obtained in
smaller cities, where a resi
dent usually is well known
to officials, but can get tricky
in some larger cities. In New
York, It requires a finger
printing session and a wait of
several days while the prints
are checked against the crim
inal file.
Ben idea when planning a
trip into an area where a
viea. tourist card or ottv doc
uments might be required is
to work through a travel
agent, or the airline or ship
ping company which will take
you abroad.
Sometimes required to get
into a country is the Interna
tional Vaccination CVtifi
I cats. This Is ttt$ official rec
ord of immunizations you
have received, and officials
here and abroad can be very
touchy if you don't have the
required shots.
The basic required immu
nization is small pox. With
that one you can go just about
anywhere in Europe and
many other countries and
have no trouble getting back
into this country. Wander off
the more popularly traveled
trails and you need yellow
fever or cholera shots. These
can require from six to nine
days to become valid, so
should be taken well in ad
vance of a trip.
Also Recommended
Although not generally re
quired, the U.S. Publio Health
Service also recommends ty
phoid and paratyphoid, tet
anus, typhus, diphtheria (for
children), influenza and polio
shots for general protection.
The best way to learn what
shots you need, or want as an
extra precaution, is to get
copy of the Public Health
Service's booklet "Immuniza
tion Information for Interna
tional Travel."
The booklet can be obtained
for 25 cents by writing the
Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office,
Washington 25, D.C.
Canada Opens SF
Immigration Office
Canada recently opened an
immigration office in San
Francisco, Calif., according to
O. H. Tiessen, who is in
charge of the office. He re
cently finished a tour of duty
with the Canadian govern
ment in Cologne, Germany.
The office is staffed by
three Canadian officials, who
are interested in furnishing
information to United States
citizens who are contemplat
ing a move to Canada.
This is one of four Cana
dian immigration offices in
the U.S. The others are in
New York, Chicago and, Den
ver.
Last year some 12,000 U.S
citizens decided to make Can
ada their home. In the San
Francisco office particular
emphasis is given to those
who will establish them
selves in independent enter
prises which may create cm
ployment.
Inquiries may be directed
to the Canadian Government
Immigration service office,
400 Montgomery It., San
Fraisco, Calif.
while traveling on the ground
or water.
With his knowledge of pol
icies and of all the unexpect
ed things that can happen
while on pleasure or business
travel, Johnson suggested a
few general guides to people
planning vacations.
Generally, he said, check
over all your policies auto,
fire, life, health, accident
to find who, what and where
is insured. Especially ascer
tain that all premiums are
paid up for the time you are
away to avoid cancellation
of coverage.
If you're going to take
your family along with you,
you want to be sure your
health insurance covers the
family, not just the head of
the family," he said.
Might Be Endangered
For usual vacation trips,
Johnson pointed out, health
insurance covers the insured
even out of the country. But
for someone planning, a pro
longed trip say around the
world or for nine or 10
months the insurance com
pany should be notified in ad
vance. The reason is that the
risks of prolonged absences
are not contemplated by the
average policy and coverage
might be endangered.
Most auto insurance poli
cies cover the motorist any
where in this country or Can
ada, but Johnson said, be sure
to carry a policy identification
card along. And for Canada
he advises taking proof of in
surance along because some
provinces have impounding
statutes, which could tie up
a car after an accident.
Most auto policies have lim
itations on Mexico. Johnson,
and Mexican government, ad
vise checking, representatives
of Mexican companies in the
border towns.
As for driving in Europe,
he pointed out that American
Automobile association mem
bers can arrange for cover
age by a London firm at their
local club before' leaving
home. Car rental agencies in
Europe also can arrange pro
tection.
Drive With Care
And," Johnson added, "for
goodness sake drive with
care in Europe, there's noth
ing so inconvenient as an auto
accident in a foreign coun
try."
To clear up any fears about
foreign travel, Johnson noted
that life insurance has no
geographic limitation it
in force everywhere.
Home fire protection poli
cies remain in eneci wnue
you are vacationing, if pre
miums are paid. But Johnson
advises, "Check your poll
cy for vacancy provisions
you intend to be gone for
more than two montns. fro-
longed absences could, under
vacancy provisions, void
policy in some states.
Also, he pointed out, most

Harrington, Wash. - (UPD -Visitors
to Seattle's World
Fair this summer are being
invited to stop off in Eastern
Washington en route and
"take a coffee brtJk with a
farmer."
The project is, naturally
enough, the idea of a farm
ers wife, Mrs. Berna Easton
of this little Eastern Wash
ington farming town. She
thought it would be a good
idea to get Eastern and city
visitors acquainted with real,
honest - to goodness West
ern farms.
The idea was taken over
by the Washington Associa
tion of Wheat Growers, which
is signing up its memDcrs in
14 counties who are v. illing to
have visitors dwp in. Infor
mation centers will be set up
in each community to direct
visitors to a host ranch.
The visits may be for a few
minutes or a few hours. The
visitors will be given a chance
to see the land, the machinery
and the buildings that make
up a modern wheat ranch,
which in this area may range
from 500 acres to 3,000 or
more acres.
