Mich thumbed a ride back to camp with a
nice, elderly lady in big. black limousine.
She even asked the colonel who was riding
with her to move up with the chauffeur so
she could talk with the corporal.
But not until the end of 15-mile ride did
the American boy learn that he was riding
with the Queen.
And his most treasured souvenir is the
charm she gave him in parting: On one side,
it reads good luck" and on the back are the
initials NJ. r. MARY Regina).
1t took other English women. however,
to rout two tough American tank units in
recent games in North Ireland.
The two units. commanded by Capt. John
Todd of Rome. Ga, and Capt. Jacob Shapiro
of Brookline Mass. discovered a cantonment
area in enemy territory at dawn. Not
sentry was posted not guard visible.
With something like contempt, they
stormed the barbados only to quickly re-
treat, chagrined and embarrassed. The EN-

corps, although they were permitted to marry
once their training period was completed.

Bill went into the army air corps. More than

blessing.

IVA Accounting Plea .
BY the Associated Press

oS tlic ASsOSldtcu
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee has indicated he will not
offer as an amendment to the in
dependent offices appropriation bill
his long pending proposal to change
the financing methods of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority
u think it likely I will not offer
an amendment" he said slowly.
The IVA appropriation hearing
for which David E. Lilienthal board
chairman, and six other IVA officials
came here from Knoxville, lasted
only half an hour yesterday. The
agency is asking no new appropria-
tion this year.
President Roosevelt declined at a
press conference yesterday to discuss
the action of Senate committee in
including the IVA in the McKellar
bill to require Senate confirmation
Of Government appointees receiving
$4,000 or more annually.
He was asked whether IVA could
be regarded properly as senatorial
patronage or whether its interstate
nature entered the situation.
He countered by asking where the
legislation was and when he was told
it was before the Senate, remarked
that he preferred not to, discuss
pending legislation.
