What to Buy in Europe One tourist pleasure many Americans overlook is buying phonograph records in Europe. The selection is enormous; prices, while higher, are not prohibitive, and there is something to satisfy just about every taste.

Pelvis Communism. In pursuit of the tourist's hard currency (9,000,000 foreigners spent $105 million in Yugoslavia last year), the government has abolished visa requirements for 18 nations ranging from Mongolia to such NATO members as Italy, Denmark and Norway. Old hotels are being refurbished to suit Western tastes, and new ones built. Eight new state catering schools offer a four-year course for waiters, cooks and hostelers.
