"NEW YORK (UPI) - Includ-

' Most Americans are generous
; tippers and more often are
; guilty of overtipping rather than
undcrtipping. One longtime
''American resident in London
complained that American tour
ists are "spoiling'' the English
and other Europeans by tipping
too much.
Adjust Tips ,
lie noted that British wage
standards are much lower than
those in the United States and
that tips should be adjusted ac
cordingly. Tlie same holds true
in" other foreign countries, he
said.
A good rule of the thumb in
England, he said, is to figure
the shilang tip (actually about
14 cents) equivalent to a 25
cent tip at home.
Then, an American woman
touring Europe alone on an all
inclusive package plan said she
often was forced to dig down
into her purse again and give
more than she originally intend
ed because of a glowering wait
er porter.
Americans are not the only
complainers. A spokesman for
the world's airlines which de
pend on tourism for survival
complained recently about the
gantlet of outstretched palms
travelers often must run.
Sir William P. Hildrcd, director-general
of the International

Nun Becomes Recording Star
Earning Convent Over $100,000
By HENRI SCIIOUP

WATERLOO, France UPI
"You make me sound like a
film star," said the nun, her
gray-blue eyes twinkling behind
plain-rimmed glasses.
And then, in a convent near
this historic town, the television
cameras flashed on, and "Soeur
Sourlro" (Sister Smile) sang
her now-famous "Dominique"
with other nuns.
The song over, the completely
soil-possessed nun talked about
herself, her French pouring out
at a terrific rate ("yes, I
know, I speak too fast . . .")
"Well, she said, "when I have
finished my two-year course at
Louvain (where she's studying
theology at a Catholic univer
sity), 1 w ill go to some Domini
can mission, in The Congo, in
Latin America or In Viet Nam.
"And as far as my singing is
concerned. I imagine I w ill con
tinue to write songs and sing
them until I dry up."
The mnl her superior inter
rupted: "We do not want to
have Sister Smile built up as
a star." But the fact is that
Sister Smile is a star in Eu

like a tornado on the plains of
Kansas.
On Dec. 26, 1900. the doors
of the Mahan Brothers Bar in
tlie elegant Carey House at W i

Carrie Nation with a handiul of
rocks and a lead pipe.
Tlie bartender was fioien in
shock at tlie sight of a woman
in his establisluncnt. Carrie
stepped up to tlie hand-carved
cherry wood bar and lired a
salvo of rocks at the huge mir

Brussels Girl
Sister Smile, or Sister Luc
Gabrielle, as she Is known to
the other nuns, is a Brussels
girl who entered the Dominican
order as a novice in l!ir8.
Other nuns played the violin,
the piano or the harmonium in
their spare time. Still others
the mouth organ. So when Sis
ter Luc-Gahriclle brought her
guitar along, Mother Superior
Marie-Pierre did not object.
Sister Luc-Gabrielle delighted
the other nuns with her poems
which she spontaneously set to
music. Girls from outside came
to the convent for periods of
retreat and religious instruc
tions and soon they were beg

have her songs recorded.
At last, the mother superior
was persuaded, a large record
company immediately recognii

contrail followed.
At first, when the record
came out, it was agreed that

helped plant the seeds of nation

Carrie Nation had a terrific
grudge against alcohol. She had
married and later divorced a
drunkard doctor and carried the
emotional scars of that unhappy
marriage.
Carrie began her campaign at
Mahan's and learned tlie dan
gers involved in it in the next
lew minutes when she crossed
the street to give the same
treatment to Jake Eccles' bar
Whn Carrie burst through
his doors, pipe in hand, he
reached beneath tlie bar and
came up with cocked .45 pis

On the day after Christmas

He entered politics in 1823 at
the age of 19 and was elected
an alderman in Greeneville on
a workingman's ticket. An ag

was re-elected twice and then
served as mayor of Greeneville
for three years.
From there it was on t w 0

television studio. Cables snaked
across the floor, lamps were
positioned all around and in the
middle of all the activity Sister
l.uc - Gabrielle stood shaking
hands with everyone.
At the end of the interview
she picked up her guitar.
"There is one song of mine
which explains what the relig
ious life really means to me
and I would like everybody to
understand its real meaning,"
she said.
It is an artless tune with sim

as follows:

Runt with Llaeobi
Lincoln, the Republican, came
up for re-election in 1864. His
running mate was Johnson, the
Democrat. The National Union
party the Republicans
hoped that Johnson's name on
the ticket would help reorgan
ize the Unionist element in the
South. The ticket won.
Then came April U, 186J.
Lincoln, the shrewd chief ex
ecutive with the consummate
tact, was assassinated. In a
simple ceremony the following
day, Andrew Johnson, a man
noticeably lacking in shrewd
ness and tact, was sworn in as
the 17th president.
The Civil War had brought
about a vast expansion of the
executive powers. This aroused
the resentment of Congress.
It soon became apparent af
ter the war that Congress was
trying to strip Johnson of his
powers. Congress attempted to
limit his pardoning power be
cause of his wholesale pardons
of Confederates. Much of his
authority as commandcr-i n
chicf of the Army disappeared.
The passage of many bills
over his veto by ample majori
ties was proof that he no longer
was able to interfere with leg
islative power.
The Final Straw
But the straw which was to
break Johnson's back was the
Tenure of Office Act, passed
March 2, 1867, over his veto.
The act forbade the President
Blindness Doesn't Slow
Young College Student
LOS ANGELES (UPI I -Michael
Yale of Burbank, Calif.,
is a study in dauntlessness.
Although he is blind, the 19-ycar-old
junior at the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley
manages to accomplish more
than many who have their sight.
He recently made a 27-day
bus tour of the United States,
accompanied only by his guide
dog, Archie. Not only did he
travel alone, but he made all
his own arrangements as he
went along.
He qualifies as a concert pi
anist, has won medals for de
bating and public speaking,
earns high grades, writes poe
try and fiction, plays Softball
and bridge and bowls.
"I made up my mind that if
someone said there was some
thing a blind person couldn't
do, 1 was determined to do it."
Michael said. "I have never
found anything I couldn't do
yet. I've had to modify it
sometimes like Softball, but I've
been able to do it."
He explained that the blind
use a rubber ball for softball.
The pitcher rolls in along the
ground to the batter, and coun
selors at tlie bases use noise
makers to give a runner the
proper direction.
Nor has Michael let his handi
cap dim his future ambitions.
A journalism major, he plans
to attend law school and hopes
to serve in the Peace Corps.
He has a double reason for
hoping to be accepted by the
corps:
"First of all, I want to help
the blind in other countries
where they have pretty bad
conditions. Secondly, I can't go
into the armed forces, and this
would sort of be compensation
for the fact that I can't."
As for his trip, Michael said:
"I had never been east of Re
no, Nevada, before but I had
traveled around California, and
I thought I could do it."
A cross - country trip alone
seems fraught with difficul
ty for a blind person, but Mich
ael said he had very few prob
lems. "I'm glad I took the trip."
he said. "It helped generate
more confidence in myself and
to become more independent
than before. It gave me more
experience in meeting different
people in strange situations."

proved by the Senate unless
that body gave its consent.
The main reason Congress
wanted the act was to keep Ed
win M. Stanton as secretary of
war. Johnson was certain that
Stanton was merely an inform
er for Congress.
After making an unsuccessful
attempt to suspend Stanton,
Johnson formally removed him
in 1868, instructing him to turn
his office over to Gen. Lorenzo
Thomas.
Stanton refused. The Senate
backed him up and refused to
confirm Thomas. The House
promptly impeached Johnson
for flouting the Tenure of Of
fice Act. Johnson was tried be
fore the Senate and was acquit
ted on May 26. 1868. by a vote
of 36-19, one vote short of the
necessary two-thirds to convict.
The Tcnture of Office ct was
held unconstitutional in 1926 by
the Supreme Court. But for
Andrew Johnson, it was the
end.
He served out his term as
president and was a candidate
before the next Democratic
convention. He was not nomi
nated. He later ran unsuccess
fully for the Senate and the
House.
Johnson did get elected to the
Senate in 1874 but the end was
near. He died on July 31, 1875,
less than one year after he re

Swimming in the Great Salt
Lake and in Lake Michigan with
Archie, attending a Broadway
play, visiting a Greenwich Vil
lage coffee house for a late
night talk session, touring the
Ford plant and assembly line
in Dearborn Mich., were among
the highlights of his trip.
New Yorkers, often maligned
as cold and hostile to strangers,
have found a champion in Mich
ael. He found them the most
friendly people in the country.
However, his sentiment didn't
extendi to the city itself. He
thought it was too crowded and
noisy.
He also gave Salt Lake City
and Chicago residents high
marks for their hospitality.
Michael brought back a large
collection of scale model souve
niers from the places he visited.
"They let me see what these
things are like." he explained
as he sat in tlie Los Angeles
office of the Braille Institute
of America. "You can tell me
the Capitol is a big building
with a dome on top, but I can't
really picture it too well. But
if I can feel the little replica
then 1 can tell."
Michael has been blind since
the age of five when a can of
lye in an incinerator blew up
in his face. He sidfered third
degree burns from the waist up
and for a time it was thought
his left arm would have to be
amputated.
He credits his independent
ways to his mother and to his
plastic surgeon, who advised
her to make him do tilings for
himself without her help. Al
though! it was difficult to watch
him struggle, she forced her
self to follow the doctor's ad
vice. However, it paid off, and now
Michael manages his own apart
ment near the Berkeley camp
us with no difficulty. While still
rccuerating from his injuries,
he began using the facilities of
tlie Braille Institute.
Michael's dream is to enter
politics and to run for office.
What office? "As high as I
can get," he replied.
If determination counts, it
could be president.

If there are other electrical
items on the same circuit, dis

still blows, better have the ap

Sometimes a temporary over
