It's now spy

By NEWELL ROGERS

New York, Feb 5.

DOLLAR-HAPPY Americans who buy lots of

jewellery, furs, watches, and gowns in Paris with the cheaper franc will be spied on by a not- work of informers.

The informers, mostly French shop assis- tants, are in the pay of the U.S. Customs service. On disembarking in New York, tourists will fnd inspectors well informed about their pur-. chases.

Informer's reward is 25 percent of the fine imposed on the smuggler-up to £12,500. Only once was this suni paid-to the informer on a shipload of illegal liquor.

Ignoring France's devaluation, the Customis continues to charge duty on travellers' French purchases at the old rate of 119 franes to the dollar.

MURDER cries the Automobile Association,

after another look at the New Look. Until now seven men were run down by curs for every two women, because women's light stockings show up in the dark. Now, says the A.A., the New Look requires longer skirts and dark stock- ingre.
