KING GEORGE VI
ENDS LONG TRIP
Churchill Meets Monarch
in Britain; HaIf=HOur
Conference Follows
BY JAMES McGLINCY
United Press Staff Correspondent

London. June 25.-CUP)-Kins
George VI landed in Britain today
after a precedent-shatterin 5,88.
mile aerial visit 10 North Africa
for an inspection of Allied land
sea and air forces that soon may
be thrown into an about assault
on southern Europe.
His face bronzed from the African
sun, the king stepped from his plane
at an airport somewhere in Eng
land ten minutes before Prime
Minister Churchill sped up in ar
/ automobile to greet him, but the
prime minister caught up with the
monarch at a Royal Air Force sta
ton soon afterward.
The two highest leaders of the
British empire conferred for a hall
hour over tea and sandwiches at
the Raj station and then motored
| TO London.
The kings tWo-week tour OF
| North Africa marked the first time
that any British monarch ever made
| such an extensive air inspection
trip, either in peace or war; the
first time that British king ever
has visited conquered territory SC
soon after battle in order to eXhort
his men on to new victories, and
the first time king ever has flown
during wartime.
The king took off from Britain
early on the morning of June II,
and, after greeting Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower, supreme Allied COM
mander, at Algiers, visited British
American and Allied forces in Nor
occo, Tunisia, Tripolitania and
Malta, part of the time travelling
by British cruiser almost within
sight of Sicily and through what
Premier Mussolini once boosted was
mare nostrum".
During the aerial portion of his
journey over Africa, his plane was
guarded by U. S. Air Force Aira-
| cobra fighter planes. but the only
German planes seen during the en-
tire trip were captured ones on the
ground.
The king took off from North
Africa for the flight back to Eng
land at $50 p. m. last night and
was met somewhere off the English
coast by 10 Spitfires. The flight
carried him across the Bay of Bis
cay, where German planes only last
month shot down a British transport
plane carrying Leslie Howard, &C
or-director, and Is other persons
| Group Capt. E. H. Felden, the
kings personal pilot, pronounced
the trip perfect in every respect"
The king went to the cockpit just
once, to ask the names of stars
Felden said.
The royal plane landed soon after
6 a. M, ahead Of schedule, and
the king stepped out almost i'm
mediately, dressed in the tropica
uniform of a field marshal. His
luggage filled an entire station
wagon, but his batman, Sgt. T
Terrain, said he had not brought any
gifts with him for Queen Elizabeth
or the two princesses.
HE didn't have time for shop
ping" Terrain said.
The planes crew was wearing
tropical shorts.
| Its bloody cold" one said.
When Churchill arrived and was
informed that the king already hac
proceeded to an Raj station mess
he climbed back into his car, vicious
ly chewing his cigar and glaring
at reporters.
The reporters laughed.

Western, Anacostia
In Another Major
Tilt Tomorrow
BY GEORGE HUBER.

! Coolidge's Colts, enjoying a two
game winning streak in the high
school series, are due for tougher
battle than earlier expected when
they face Eastern at Eastern in one
of the two championship football
games tomorrow. Eastern's light
Ramblers were pushed around by
Roosevelt in their opening game, but
that's no disgrace this year, and
last week they snapped right back
by upsetting the highly regarded
Western Red Raiders.
The Ramblers came up with an
excellent defense in stopping West
ern and while their one touchdown
came after a poor Western kick left
them close to the goal they showed
enough strength to make several
other bids for scores.
Eastern's principal weakness this
year was lack of experience and
weight. The Ramblers now have
the experience of three games be-
hind them and those light backs
are showing speed. George Cross
and Tom English, both newcomers,
have been outstanding runners, and
Freeman Settle has been so capable
as sub that more active role in
the future seems assured for him.
Raider Indian Game Important.
The other game, Western at Ana
costa, also is important. Westerns
Weighty line wasn't enough to stop
Eastern last week, but the boys are
boiling after that upset and ready
to tear into the Indians. The Raider
attack likely will be built around Bill
Stratos again while Anacostia can
counter with Tom Yahraes' plung-
ing and Jim Flaherty's passing. Jim
was stopped last week by Washing
ton-Lee, but whether Western turns
the trick is a question.
Both teams need to win this one
to stay in the race, each having won
one and lost one in series compe-
tition.
Roosevelt. leader in the series with
three straight, will meet Wilson on
Saturday at Central Stadium in the
game selected as the weeks feature.
Tomofrows two series games begin
at 4 pm, while the Saturday tilt
