N.Z. Publicity In Paris

(PA Staff Correspondent) PARIS, May 13. The New Zealand Government, in association with the French airline Unions de Transports Aeriens, has launched its biggest publicity effort to date in the French capital.

The exhibit, now on display in the U.T.A. offices, opened last week and will be on view to the French public for about two months. It was inspired by U.T.A.’s Tahiti-Auckland air link which now connects France and New Zealand on a round-the-world basis by French airlines. It also coincides with visits by the French Rugby union and Rugby league teams to New Zealand. The Rugby league team will be received by New Zealand’s Ambassador to Paris (Mr R. L. Hutchens) at the U.T.A. offices on Saturday. The Rugby players will visit some time before they leave for New Zealand in late June. The . extremely attractive display has the general title of “Le Monde En Poche” (the

world in miniature) and features everything from All Black jerseys and Maori art to three huge crayfish, other fish delicacies, and sheepskin rugs. Freed From Censorship.—, Three more Athenian news-i papers have been freed from censorship the economic journal “Naftemboriki,” and the evening newspapers,! “Vradyni” and “Estia.”— 1 Athens, May 14.
