said, but crowned heads like the
kings of England, Italy and Bel
GUM cannot associate themselves
from their military rank. They
come in wonderful uniforms with
encourages glittering with braid
and decorations. Essentially their
receptions had to partake of the
military aspect in a dominant man

the crowds these rulers had to
make only the still military salute
of acknowledgment Naturally
this is not very personal. Even a
kings salute is like that of any 9TH

But" he continued, your presi-
dent came in civilian clothes, very
plain, wholly undecorated, not even

constantly off. He was unhamp-

laughed outright, in greeting to the
