DYNAN (Substituting for Kenneth L. Dixon) the gayer, more frivolous aspects of the big city still have their appeal, most of the GIs on leave in Paris want to see the museums, monuments and spots of historic interest, too. These include, of course, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Hower, Napoleon's and the storied Latin quarter, where they find life is stringent and not at all Bohemian. Drawn facas reflect tightened stomachs as the shivering residents hurry to barren, unheated rooms. Even the amusements there are simple-and inexpensive.

Listen To In the left bank student -center young people throng "audition shops" to listen to favorite records at one or two francs a throw. The shop has an "elite" section where for two francs you can sit down to listen to your choice of several hundred records. Students frequently spend hours listening to entire symphonies. Next to Sgt.

In Paris on leave they met in the Allied Forces club. "This is a taste of streets, motor cars, shops," said Dehner as they marveled at the expanse of the vista up the Champs Elysees toward the Arc de Triom- phe.

They said Paris was one place they would like to see in peacetime. NEW NAZI APPEAL LONDON, March 2.

Curfew Involves Restaurants Too AUSTIN, March 2. (ft There will be no exceptions for Texas restaurants to the original curfew order of War Mobilizer James Byrnes, C. E.

Belk, state director fpr the War Manpower commission, announced today. The WMC enforces tha Byrnes directive. Belk said only those restaurants which have customarily remained open all night would not be affected. Past Custom To Rule Restaurants customarily remaining open after midnight but not until 8 a. m.

must now clos2 at 12 midnight. He stated further that restaurants operated by business concerns for their own employees after 12 o'clock but not all night would also be required to close. Company and club sponsored entertainment projects, dances, bridge parties and other forms of organized entertainment, whether conducted on the firm's own premises or not, will also be required to cease activities at midnight, Belk said. Some restaurant owners and operators in the state interpreted the regulation to mean that if entertainment features such as juke boxes and orchestras, were shut off at 12:00 they would be permitted to remain open for the purpose of serving food after that hour. Belk said this was not ihs case, and that the only exceptions provided are for restaurants customarily staying open all night, and for entertainment supplied for military personnel especially in ports of embarkation which is sponsored by responsible agancies, conducted on a non-profit basis, after approval of military authorities, and in camps and stations.
