Boys. When a special bus bumped into Ripon, Wis. one afternoon last week, 20 world-famous little boys got out of it. Though they had traveled 300 wet, slippery miles from South Bend, Ind., the Wiener Sängerknaben (Singing Boys of Vienna) were erect and lively as they marched into their hotel. There they stripped to the waist, scrubbed their faces, brushed their teeth, composed themselves for a short nap. That night they made the little college town gasp at their sweet voices and expert phrasing. Students, teachers and farmers from 100 miles around listened reverently to da Vittoria...
...Cubans and the six small girls debarked and the two dozen Princetonians began to arise. J. Douglas Brown, professor of Economics at Princeton, was up, and, armed with a newspaper and without breakfast, boarded the special bus.

Operated by Nairn Transport Co., the new busses, of which there are two, make the journey in 15 hours instead of the 24 it took the heavy, conventional busses Nairn has been shuttling across the desert for 14 years. A passenger boards the bus late in the afternoon, takes a seat in a modern interior designed like a standard Pullman. Until nightfall he watches the flat Syrian terrain from, one of 17 windows. After a box supper, a native steward makes up the 14 upper and lower berths. To guard against sandstorms, the whole...
