PARIS-What happened to all the little old ladies in tennis shoes? / f I am happy to report that they are alive and well and most of them are on package tours in Europe. Because traveling has become so expensive, you do not see many Americans on the continent any more. D00NE Occasionally a bearded kid with an American Flag on the seat of his pants may walk by your cafe table, but it isn’t like the old days when there wasn’t a corner of Europe that didn’t have a “ U.S. Go Home” sign. If it weren’t for the little old ladies in tennis shoes, no one would be aware that the United States still existed, and it makes any red- blooded American’s chest swell with pride when he sees a batallion of them marching down the Champs Elysees, Piccadilly or the Via Veneto to the tune of Colonel Bogie’s March. Make no mistake about it, the little old ladies in tennis shoes still strike terror in the hearts of every tour director in Europe. Most of the ladies are veterans of previous overseas tours; ex­ JOHN ADAMS HAS OH, VES?

At airports all over Europe you see fresh young guides barely out of college, wearing their tour uniforms waiting nervously for their group to jump off the plane and encircle the city. Screaming “ We take no prisoners,” the little old ladies , carrying their duty-free shopping bags from the previous airport, climb aboard their buses determined not not to miss one single thing included in the high m price of the tour. No mountain is too high for them to climb, no fjord is too wide for them to cross.

Why, then most Europeans have lost interest in tourists, when waiters and concierges and shopkeepers have become more surly, when most things are cheaper in the States, do the ladies keep traveling abroad? The answer came from a little old lady sitting next to me at Fouquet’s. “ Someone has to carry on,” she said simply. “ The young people can’t do it because they don’t have the m money; the middle-aged people can’t do it because they don’t have the stamina. If it weren’t forps little old ladies in tennis shoes, no one would remember what an American looked like.

“ Don’t go to Rome,” I was warned. “ Everyone is on strike ” It was of course an exaggeration. When I got to the Leonardo Da ymci Airport they were only having a slowdown, and it took me two hours to get my luggage. “You re very lucky to get in,” the taxi driver told me. The airport employees are always going out on strike. They’re very unhappy. The other day they went out on a strike to protest the DRY bad service everyone at the airport was getting. All the passengers had to find and carry their own baggage.” When I arrived at my hotel, I was handed a slip of paper. “ The employees will go out on a strike from 10 o’clock until 4 and from 7 o’clock in the evening until 11.
