Inducted Into Office: Quezon was re-elected in November 1941, and on December 30, with the war against Japan in progress, was inducted into office in a bomb-proof shelter on Corregidor Island. At the urging of Gen. Douglas MacArthur he left the Philippines in March 1942 and by way of Australia made his escape to the United States. On May 14, 1942, he formed a government in exile; and on the eve of Nov. 15, 1943, the date on which Quezon's second term of office would have expired, PresiŽdent Roosevelt signed a bill extending the terms of both Quezon and Osmena until expulsion of the Japanese from the Philippines. Pulmonary tuberculosis cut short Quezon's career before liberation of his country had been achieved.
REDWOOD, SIR Boverton, English chemŽist: b. London, 1846; d. 1919. He was educated at the University College School and accoir.-panied Sir Vivian Majendie on an inspect: tour of the petroleum fields of Europe, QK. and the United States. He became a consulting engineer and chemist and was appointed adŽviser on petroleum to the Admiralty, the Home office, the India office and the Colonial office He was created a baronet in 1911.See Also Foreign Office Charged:In 1820 the foreign office charged Pushkin with writing subversive poetry and participating in secret societies and transferred him south to Ekaterinoslav. There he became close to the younger members of General Rayevsky's family, who helped him discover the poetry of Lord Byron. Pushkin then was assigned to dull work in the Bessarabian capital, Kishinev, and in the summer of 1823, although he dreamed of returnŽing to St. Petersburg, was transferred to Odessa. But he led a romance-filled life, and his love affairs with two married women (including the wife of his superior in the foreign office) ocŽcasioned some of his most passionate Lyric poetry.
After the war Raum practiced law in Harrisburg, 111., and later in Washington, D.C. As a Republican he was elected to Congress in 1867 but was defeated in the following election. From 1876 to 1883 he was commissioner of internal revenue and from 1889 to 1893 was commissioner of pensions. A congresŽsional investigating committee charged him with using his office to further his business interests and he resigned from office. He was the author of The Existing Conflict between Republican Government and Southern Oligarchy (1884) and a History of Illinois Republicanism (1900).
On The Other Hand See Travel Office:The Bank of Greece and Athens has undertaken other enterprises, supplementing its development of the fleet of de luxe touring busses. For one thing, it has opened a travel office, called ETEA, in the bank's SynŽtagma Branch, on Venizelos Avenue, nearly opposite the Grande Bretagne. Additional ETEA offices are being opened at Piraeus and ThessaloniE ETEA works closely with the National Travel Organization to promote travel in Greece.
The New York offices (and certain others that are maintained in! Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, etc.) encourage and supplement the regular work that is done by travel agencies but they do not invade the agencies' field. So it is good practice to look to your own agent for every service he can normally give and to consult the national tourist offices for special and more detailed counsel and for literature.
Here is the list of the Manhattan offices, with their addresses and city zones.
A single coordinated address for all of these offices has been set up y the European Travel Commission and if you memorize, or keep handy, lat one address you are set to write to any of the twenty-one. Here it is: National Tourist Office of (name of country) Box 258, Dep't D. New York 17, N.Y.
I should add that the Scandinavian countries, including Finland, also ave a coordinated mail address, for travel enquiries. It is: Scandinavian Travel Commission Box 80, New York 10, N.Y.
