Queen WiIheImino Rules Netherlands in Exile

ENGLAND is the headquarters
 for many of the refugee crowned heads of Europe and among those present is 6l-year. old Queen Wilhelmina, ruling sov. ereign of the Netherlands in ex- ile.
 Germany overran the Nether- lands in four days last year. AL though the invading troops made a desperate attempt to capture the queen, she fled to London on a British warship, May l3, with her key ministers and others of the royal family.
 Unlike most refugee monarchs, Wilhelmina still has something to rule over. Although Holland is occupied, there is still a vast, in- credibly rich empire six times as large as the mother country with population of 60 million people.
 Wealthiest of her possessions is the Dutch East Indies which hon. ored their beloved queen philateli- cally in the 1883 stamp above.

machines were Transforming the neighbor-
hood to wintry reality. Clouds of faky snow
swirled in the glare of huge spotlights. Yet it
was still oppressively warm.
Development of 'heat-resistant" ice was
worked out in the studios because professional
skaters complained that the ordinary ice of
the artificial rink soon became covered with
film of sush and water which impaired
their performances. So a scientist perfected
an ultra-cold freezing system which includes
not only refrigerating pipes in the liquid it
self, but film of sub-zero air shot from vents
to cover the surface like frigid blanket.
The cold air hovers over the ice, constantly
being replaced before it gets warm. And the
ice remains smooth and CLASSY
Dozens of towns are already bombarding
the studios for details of this new develop
ment. With it, almost any town may have
an all-year ice-skating rink in the open air.
One, in fact, was recently opened in a Los
Angeles suburb.
As you saunter through the studios you
sometimes come upon the towering super
structures of ocean liners. Frequently they
are set up in placid pool which, when the
paddle-wheel machines are started, can be
churned into mass of angry waves.

Coupled with this has come another spec

intently at pond about an acre in extent.

took place The pond began to freeze! First,
scum ice formed around the shores. Then
patches of it began to be visible elsewhere.
The patches grew and spread so slowly that
the motion was not apparent, yet shortly the
pond was covered with ice.
One of the men told me casually, Were

The Lotest in Snow

HATS because Pasadena ice man with
a scientific mind simply couldn't bear to look
at any more phony snow on the screen. He
saw many flaws. For one thing, the fake snow
didn't crunch under the actors feet. For an
other breath didn't vaporize. The ice man
had an idea.
In his spare time, he made a machine that
was, in effect, gigantic cruncher. 1t pulver-
ICES 1OO-pound blocks of ice in the twinkling
of an eye, shooting the fine particles from an
diversified fire hose Next he mounted an air
plane propeller on an automobile motor,
started it going full blast and shot the stream
of powdered ice into the stream of air. And
the result? As realistic snowstorm as you
ever saw! Half dozen of these machines are
able to blanket city block with two feet of
snow much faster than summer sun can
melt it,

WlNANT TO STAY
 IN U. 5. 10 DAYS
Ambassadors Report May Deal in Detail on Prior
 ity Question
BY LYLE c. WILSON Limited Press Staff COrresDOndent)

Washington, June s - (UP) -- Ambassador John c. Winant's re- port on Great Britains full war ex- perience appeared today to be de- signed to help the administration eliminate the bugs" In our re- armament adn fighting organiSa- tons.
 Bugs" are those organizational maladjustments which hinder pro- duction or the effective use of com bat forces. Winant cautiously re- vealed at least part of his mission here yesterday, He plans to devote 10 days or so visiting administra- ton officials here before returning to his London post. He implied that some of the speculation re- garding the purpose of his return was so wide of the facts t hat 1t might even have originated in Ber- i'm.
 It Is known now that Winant did not return at the suggestion of the British government, but whether he was summoned by President Roose- welt or came home on his own ini- tative has not been revealed.
 There is understood to be an as- tonishing similarity of problems, initial mistakes and other develop ments in the rearmament eXperi- ences o fthe United States and Great Britain. Winant's report evidently is intended to enable the administration to take full advan- tage of British trail blazing toward an all-out and well coordinated na- tional defense effort.
 Both London and Washington are having "priorities trouble" al- though the British have had in- finitely more experience because their major production effort began with the outbreak of war in Sep- tember, 1889, whereas that in the United States was not proposed until after the invasion of Belgium and the Netherlands of May last year.
 Winant's report is understood to deal in some detail with British efforts to solve such questions as priorities and also, to outline the steps by which Great Britain stead fly has expanded the governments authority to say who shall work where, and what individual plants shall produce. There is a similarity between authorities vested in the British government and those ac- cruing to MT. Roosevelt under his proclamation of national emergen- cy, and those which would be voted him under the war departments bill for requisition of property.
