Animated Figure
Of Lincoln Arouses
Heated Controversy
SPRINGFIELD. HI. (UPI)-A
controversy boiled today over
whether a life-like Abraham
Lincoln figure that sits, stands,
talks and gestures is dignified
and characteristic or "gro
tesque." Walt Disney came to the land
of Lincoln Tuesday to taix
about the project, which will be
the heart of tne si million Illi

Wor d's Fair.

from actual descriptions of this
great man. He will appear in a
very dignified setting.
"While seated in n chair be
fore speaking he will drop his
head in thought, i characteris
tic Lincoln action," Disney
said. "When he is introduced
he will stand putting his
hands behind his back as
though deep in thought."
Disney said the Lincoln pres
entation would appear to audi
ences "as life-like as I am
standing before you perhaps
more so." He said the figure
even would tap its lingers on
its chair while waiting to be in
troduced. Disney's statements to news
men were in answer to criti
cism the Lincoln figure would
be "grotesque" and would rq
semble a carnival sideshow.,
"It's almost as ehoulish as
the idea to play a mock record
ing of the voices of the four
presidents enshrined at ' ML
Rushmore," one person said.
"The next thing they'll have
Mousketeers giving guided
tours of the White House, ' said
another.
The Lincoln figure will be in
a 12-minute presentation called
"Great Moments with Mr, Lin

torium in the Illinois pavilion.
An estimated 25,000 persons
will see the show daily.

of the details.

Lincoln's craggy appearance

Six Monorail Routes
Suggested in Detroit
DETROIT OJFI) A mass
transportation plan drawn here
five years ago recommended a
primary system of six monorail
rapid transit routes radiating
from the central business area.
The plan also recommended

Marriage, Labor
Contracts Similar
WASHINGTON (UP1) - The
similarity between a labor con
tract and a marriage contract
is obvious to anyone who knows
anything at all about collective
bargaining. .-.i - -
Up until now, however, I was
not aware that the -esemblance
had any official standing with
the National Labor Relations
Board.
My eyes were opened on this
point by a decision recently

examiner in an unfair labor
practice case in Tennessee.
The examiner, George L.
Powell, ruled that a dairy prod
ucts firm acted wrongly in
turning over to an independent
contractor work that had pre
viously been performed by its
own employes.
Powell held that the company
should have notified the union
before taking this step, which
resulted in the dismissal of
some of the workers.
In support of his decision he
noted that the union-management
relationship "in certain
respects is like a marriage."
"... we can well imagine the
almost universal cry in every
home in the land should the
husband, without firsHalking it
over with his wife, rent cut the
spare room in t!'e home to a
lovely young roomer, be she
blonde, brunette or redhead,"
he wrote.
Yes, indeedv. I can well
imagine that. In fact, I can
visualize the negotiations step
oy step. '.,
First there would be what is
known in labor-management-
marriage circles as a "lock
out," The wife would lock her
husband out of the bedroom
while she had a universal cry.
These Dressm-p tnrties umnlH
force the husband to the bar
gaining table. He would rather
go to the dinner table out there
wouldn't be any food on it be
cause she was in the bedroom
crying when she should have
been in the kitchen cooking
supper.
Then the ncgotialions would
reach a stalemate, although the
husband would have settled for
a slice of stale bread.
As a result of the impasse,
the issues would be submitted
to an impartial mediator her
mother.
By that time the lovely young
tenant would have left totfn
without paying her rent. So the
case would be settled by the
momer moving into the spare

Rapid Transit Subway
In Ohio Never Used
CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) -
The city of Cincinnati has had
a rapid transit subway since
1011 but it has never been used
by passengers.
Local political interests mane
so many route changes while the
subway was being built that It
became impractical for mass
transit and was converted to a
tunnel for utilities lines. The
city is currently in the process
ot completing a $1.5 million
study of a possible rapid transit
system to adjoining areas in
Kentucky and Indiana.
Italy's Tourist
Boom Not As Big
As Was Expected
ROME (UPI)- Italy's fabu
lous tourist boom is still going
strong in 1963 but not as strong
as had been expected.
In the first seven months of
this year, government officials
reported 11,709,000 foreign tour
ists visited Italy, This was an
increase of 10.1 per cent over
the same period in 1062.
But in all of 1062 tourism
jumped 12.6 per cent over the
preceding year, and Tourism
Minister Alberto Folchi admit
ted that he had been expecting
the growth rale at least to
keep up this pace or even in
crease. What went wrong?
There are a number of fac
tors, but almost everybody
agrees that the major factor
keeping many tourists away
has been the general price rise
in Italy.
Budget Resorts
Folchi noted that tourism al
so has shown a slight slump in
France and Switzerland for the
same reason. Economy-minded
tourists are going to such places
as Yugoslavia, Greece and
Spain where prices are still con
siderably below those in Italy
and its other neighboring countries.
. The most worrisome fact in
Uie situation for the Italians is
that the number of German
tourists this year has actually
decreased. They always had
been the leading national group
by far to visit Italy.
Prof. Augusto Premoli, di
rector general of the Italian
Tourist Agency, says other fac
tors are an insufficiency of air
line flights, inadequate high
ways and the neglect into which
many of Italy's artistic and his
torical monuments has fallen.
Venice, a favorite spot with
American tourists, is getting
fewer Americans this year than
in the past, and officials there
put the blame squarely on the
price situation.
Expensive Venice
They estimate that a tourist
going first - class cannot spend
less than $32 a day in Venice
while the cost for one going
second-class is about half that.
From July 1 to Aug. 15, the
peak tourist period at Venice,
the number of American visi
tors was 3,500 below that for
the same period in 1962.
Adding to Italy's worries is
that more Italians than ever be
fore are traveling abroad in
stead of spending their vacation
money at home. In the first
seven months of this year, Hal
lan tourism abroad was up
phenomenal 44.1 per cent over
1962.
