W. |. White Enjoys
American Food. After
Six Months in Europe
Correspondent
En- Route to BuIkuns
On U. S. S. Washington
BY WILLIAM L. WHITE.

ABOARD U. S. S. WASHINGTON
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN-(er
route to the Balkans)-This is an
American boat, and it's very nice,
after almost six months in Europe,
to be able to reach into one of those
long saucers full of a few pieces of
clean ice and crisp Florida celery
and big black juicy California olives.
And also to be able to get more of
the best roast beef in the world,
which happens to come from
the U. S. A.
Simpsons restaurant in London,
which serves the best home-raised
handled beef in England, is good.
But It's just very good-jt isn't the
best-and the best is to be found at
the Fred Harvey Eating House in
Kansas City. In addition to which,
Europe can't even come close to us
on a sirloin steak, and you get very
good ones on this American boat,
although, of course, you must put up
with an electric grill.
Here they bother you in a thor
oughly American way by loud
speaker lectures on Safety at Sea-"
delivered throughout the ship in a
silver microphone voice which you
can hear even in the bathroom. But
It's very nice to get back to, as we
slide past the silhouetted coast of
Spain, and then comes the wireless!
I've got to get off at Gibraltar, and
leave all thought of cornbread be-
hind me to head for Rumania.
Only there are a couple of little
dlfflculties. In just about II hours
now we pass Gibraltar. It's a.,
fortress and these being wartimes,
the British are understsndably coy
about allowing neutrals-or any one
at all, for that matter-to get off
and go poking around amongst the
artillery. It's possible to get per-
mission, but this can come only from
the War Office in London.
And here we are, spang in the
middle of one of those long British
week ends, with every department
presumably locked, and all the Brit
lsh ruling classes away in the coun-
try chasing little furred or feathered
animals.
