NEW YORK.-About Is years ago
~ a British officer was killed in
Egypt and Sir Archibald Clark Kerr
got mighty tough with Egyptian Off

Ulfimatunns, From ing hurt feel
Stain, to Smoke ings' London
tend to take Sir Archibald down q
peg. He was withdrawn from the
main current of British diplomacy
and set to drift in South American
backwaters. The spanked boy came
back after a time unabashed and
with Chilean wife, Maria Teresa
Diaz Salas. It was late marriage.
Sir Archibald is 60 years old now.
But along with his admitted tough
ness 1t has helped keep him out in
front ever since.
Pulling these days ON the in
creasingly tangled problem of
Russo British relations, Sir
Archibald Clark Kerr has one
great asset. He is more friendly
with Stain than any British am
bassador before him. Kremlin
Joe sends him good Russian to-
baccO where previous plenip0-
tentiaries got semi-ultimatums
to put in their pipes and smoke.
The Ambassador was educated
privately, but his sheltered start
doesn't seem to have handicapped
him. He got into the diplomatic
service IS years ago and has repre-
sented Britain in Sweden, Irak,
Egypt, Morocco and, as noted, in
South America, taking time out for
a stretch with the Scots Guards
back in 1918. Before he went to
Russia he had the China assign
ment, where he said good word for
this country off and on because he
is notable friend of the United
States.

about. The doctor, speaking from
the eminence of the presidency of
the Institute of Aeronautical Sci
ences, argues that even now the SAT-
est way to make a long journey is
by air.
He speaks with nearly youthful
enthusiasm. He is only 43, smooth

Whenever he hasn't anything bet
ter to do he builds another wind tun-
mel, because he always has a few
new notions to try out. Wind
tunnels, he says, save life, time and
cash for any man trying to build the
foolproof airplane of the future. It
was wind tunnel experiments which
earned him the Reed award for re-
search in aeronautics three years
back.
