Died. Harry McElhone, 67, elfin proprietor of Harry's New York Bar, 5 Rue Daunou, Paris; of heart disease; in Garches, France. "Just tell the taxi driver Sank Roo Doe Noo," said Harry, and multitudes of parched, unilingual Americans followed his directions.

Scott Fitzgerald, Harry's was the cradle of the International Bar Flies, a loosely knit organization ring-led by the late Columnist O. O. (for Oscar Odd) Mclntyre...
...Doe-eyed, wistful Princess Soraya Esfandiari Bakhtiari, 25, divorced wife of Iran's Shah, arrived in Manhattan aboard the liner Constitution, hoping for privacy, found instead some 125 press and TV reporters at dockside to welcome her.

Nearly 700,000 voyaging Americans are about to make this breezy prophecy come true. An impressive number of these U.S. tourists will carry a stowaway-Temple Hornaday Fielding. He conies handily packaged in a fact-and opinion-crammed, hard-cover container called Fielding's Travel Guide to Europe, 1958-59 (895 pp.; Sloane; $4.95). Annually revised since its '48 debut, Fielding's Guide...
Stripped Naked. Pretty, doe-eyed Djamila was so important a find that French officers did not even wait until her wound was bandaged; they began their questioning as she lay on the operating table in a military hospital. She admitted being a rebel courier, denied she had any part in the bombings, refused to give the hiding place of Yacef Saadi. For the next 17 days she was in the hands of the French paratroops. In her testimony later, Djamila said she was beaten repeatedly. Djamila testified: "They stripped me naked and tied me on a bench, taking care...
