we're enough of the usual fainting

the crowd.
The highlight of the day was in
the evening in front of floodlit
Buckingham Palace, with the Band
of the Kings Guards playing while
the crowd roared for the King and
Queen to appear. I saw one of the
British Generals grinning from ear
to ear at group of soldiers stand
ing beside him. He laughed like a
schoolboy at my vain effort to push
past him. The Princesses disap-
pointed the crowd by their absence
on the balcony with the King and
Queen; but delighted them when
they realized that they were down
with them, with no other escort
than a couple of plainclothed po-
licemen. They, too, joined in the
general pastime of push and be
pushed At Ills pm. the balcony
lights were turned on and the King
and Queen appeared to wave greet
ingS to the crowd. The King was
in Naval uniform; while the Queen
looked lovely in powder blue with
white fox fur and a diamond terra
which glistened in the floodlights,
while cheer after cheer went I'D
from the crowd.
I, of course was disappointed at
the number Of things l did not
get to see; for insance, General
Montgomery dancing with the Cock

ply could not be everywhere at
once. AS matter of fact, I Just
missed seeing the procession as the
King and Queen drove to open the
Parliament. Despite that, however,
it was great time with a great
people.
Many of the American boys did
stay over for the celebrations and
I am sure it was everything to gain.
They missed not a thing and they
all have memories and a good rec
ord of pleasant times by which to
remember the end of the war. I
know that I, personally, shall never
forget it.

STAIN IN NO HURRY

America and Britain are much

in Europe than is Stain.
The Red generalissimo is in no
hurry.
Time works for him and for the
Communist pan-Slav neo-imperi-
alism.
Repeatedly, Moscow stan s
firmly behind the Jugoslav de-
mand for Trieste and is disposed
TO support Austria's demand for
former Austrian Tyrol, which was
amputated from Austria and
given to Italy at Versailles after
the first World War. as Allied
compensation for Italy's breaking
away from the Triple Alliance in
1915 and joining the Allies.
