A.E.F.'S SOLDIER 'TOURISTS" GIVE LONDON AN AMERICAN ACCENT
BY DOWN SUTTON Editor of NEA Service

London, July 23-The American
 tourists" are back-so London Is
 more like London again.
 But the tourists who, these days, stand gaping at the snag-toothed architectural relics of the blitz, de- mand non-existent Milwaukee beer in the pubs, over-tip and under-tip taxi drivers, complain about English coffee and misidentify Cockney girl clerks as noblewomen-these Amer ican tourists are ruddy young men from all the 43 states, and they wear khaki or the blue of war-young Americas armed forces.
 NOW IT'S NAMED
 AMERICA SQUARE"
 Their firm tread on the pave ments of this great gray city by the Thames has replaced the clicking high-heels of American society women and the rubber soleS of expatriate American male loaferS who returned-and pre- cipitately - to their homeland when the bomoS began to crash down.
 1942's doughboys play baseball before uncomprehending specta- tors in the London parks. They throng the streets and offices about a famous thoroughfare junction here that has been re- named America Square," They date and dance and drink with English girls of all classes. And they get along with the Tommies considerably better than did their elders in the last great war.
 Conspicuous in this sea of uni- forms which is London, are the olive-drab blouses and "pink | pants" of American Army officers the executive vanguard of the fast-swelling U. s. forces in the British Isles. Their brisk foot falls sound in the dark corridors of government offices in Whitehall | as they request this-and- that with | Yankee directness - and get 1t. They totil, shirt sleeved and wrinkle-browed, in their plain and cluttered offices by day: they are omnipresent in smart ho- tels and restaurants by evening. |

Good Evening.
TRUE TO FORM

Summer days run true to form, Right according to the established norm. The locusts arrived at the usual date, Their brass fortissimo does not abate. The July contingent went to vacation camps, The summer throngs crowd railroad station ramps. Summer days run true to form, That goes for the occasional thunder storm. The usual number of ice cream cones are sold, The usual number catch summer cold. Someone writes a catchy moonlight song, But the summer tours are not so long. Summer days run true to form, Right according to the established norm. Clam diggers are as busy digging clams Summer stock produces it's quota of hams. The usual bunch goes in for bathing and boats And store windows display bargains in fur coats.
