Chief oh jectio 10 the

place Michigan industry at

New York, March 8 - To land in New York straight from war-torn blacked.out London is to experience ono of the greatest thrills Of Q ife- time. First impressions are neces- sarlly oR balance, but one bounces between bewlldermer and relief at finding all the amenities of civilian peaoetime life still here to be enc joyed.
 What struck me most torclbly on my first contact with life in America after almost four stren- uous war years In England was probably the brilliant lights on streets and in shop windows. Also the ell-stocked food stores, with piles of oranges, lemons, grape- fruit: the elaborate displays oi luxury goods; the women's pert hats, becoming hair-do's, theil fancy slippers and sheer stock ings: the almost unbearable heat in stores and hotels.

having to surrender three.and.a. half months of chocolate coupons. That you can have shoes repaired and clothes dry-cleaned within 2A hours( as compared to any. thing from three to five weeks in England). That matches come with every pack of cigarettes. That you can take as many baths as you want. That the displays of cosmetics everywhere are there to be bought, and are not dummy packages. That even moderate priced restaurants have imposing menus. That eggs are all the real shell kind and not powdered. That ice-cream and sodas of every deS- cription are here for the asking.
 All these are things which the Britishers long since have learn ed to forget.
 It takes @ little time, also, to realize that everything does not close down at II p. m. at the latest. That you can buy meal after midnight, and that taxis and busses do not disappear from the streets once the theater crowds have dis- perSed, That even though you are asked to carry all purchases under five pounds, these are wrapped up for you.
 The war seems very remote from New York. There may be Q shortage of labor, but Q stranger never would know 1t. There are still many young women em- ployed in stores restaurants and elsewhere. In England they long ago would have been directed to essential war employment and replaced by gray-haired women over 50. Everybody looks we'll groomed here-freSh and alert, In contrast to the British people, who are shabby and beginning to show signs of strain and war weariness.
 NO SUBWAY SLIPPERS
 In New York you unconsciously miss the long queues outside the theaters, the cinemas, the bus stops and even in some of the more popu- lar restaurants. It seems strange that there aren't people still sleep Ing in underground shelters or in subway stations; that every city block Is intact, and that there are. mt enormous bomb craters clotted here and there.
 It probably is more difficult for Americans to imagine what life Is really like in England. They don't know how grim and monot- onous 1t can be. Only when you can look at 1t in retrospect do you realize how regimented every- thing is, how hemmed In you are by countless restrictions which by this time you have come to accept as the natural order of
 things.
 To all outward appearances, the people here are untouched by the war. They have much to be thankful for.
