(Continued from Page D edly, and the Queen didn't let it get her ruffled. She came up the river with the early morning sun glinting on the new black and white of her hull, and she slipped into her berth at 5Oth Street with grace full dignity.
 The Elizabeth hadn't hurried, but she made the trip in less than five days. She didn't need to hurry she was always certain of well come.
 She carried more than 2,2OO pas sengers, including not only MolotoV but Andrei Y. Vishinsky, vice-for- eign minister of Russia; Senator Tom Connally, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, Lady Iris Mountbatten, a great at-granddaughter of Queen Vic toria, and Lord Rothermere, chair man of the British Newspaper Pro- prietors Association.
 The Queen Elizabeth is more like town than ship. Her inside walls are a furnished tan. Great StairwayS wind from one deck level to another. There are five eleva- tors.
 Carried 20,000 Troops At Once On almost every deck are the in- viting doors of cabaret or 8 din- ing room, and the corridors are lined with shops with mannikins in the windows.
 During the war the Elizabeth carried as many as 10000 troops in single crossing.
 The ships service is excellent For instance, a half dozen walters ducked beneath that rope and de- livered Molotov's breakfast.
 Eager reporters kept asking for a statement, but Molotov replied through messengers: "No, will not make a statement"
 All Follow Molotov
 Finally the passage was SC damned that movement was almost impossible. Grover Whalen of May OTIS reception committee saved the day by inviting MolotOv to go to the upper-deck with him. When the ships passengers saw Molotov walking up the stairs al- most everyone aboard tried to fol- low.
 And when the crowd on the pier cheered the ship, there weren't many people left to cheer back They were all trying to hear the Russian leaders greeting.
 My baby" one woman passenger cried "Oh, wait. I want him photographed with my baby"
 And, for the time being the mighty Queen was almost forgotten

Post Office to ObserUe
 National Air Mail Week

National Air Mail Week will be celebrated here from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2, Postmaster Charles A. Babin an- nounced today. The week is being ob- served to inform the American peo- pie of the new low rate on domestic air mail which went into effect on Oct. l,
 Edgar A. Dwyer has been named chairman of Post Office commit tee to make arrangements for the local observance Other members of the committee are Carl R., Deeley, Edward Lynch, Timothy A. Donahue, Peter Carroll and George White.
 One-ounce letters may now be sent anywhere in the United States or it's possessions for five cents. This rate also applies to Canada, Mexico and the armed forces overseas, Post master Babin explained.
 First In Reductions
 The postmaster pointed out that during this period of rising costs and selling prices, "it is refreshing to note that United States Air Mail Service is leading the field with sub- stantial reductions in the cost of its service to the public" And to this is the fact that at no time has our service been so speedy and 50 re- liable," Babin continued.
 Local air mail is sent to fields at Hartford, New Haven and Bridge port, the postmaster explained. All three cities are only one-hour's train time from here, he said. The mail is dispatched to which ever of the three cities from where it will make the quickest plane connection. Ex- periments are now being conducted in various parts of the country with helicopters. Babin stated that it should not be too long before we have such service in the state.
 No commodity on earth can be brought as cheaply as our Air Mail Service" Postmaster Babin said. At present there are 75,000 route miles of domestic service and 212,000 route miles of foreign service. Seven hun dred planes are engaged in this serv- ice.
 Air mail revenue last year was $81 100000 compared to expenses of $65 100000. The average air mail let ter travels 1,500 miles, the postmas- ter disclosed.
 Local Features Outlined As part of the local observance of Air Mail Week, posters will be placed in stores and Hobbies, radio addresses are being prepared and letters de- scribing the speed of air mail are being sent to local industries. No special catchet has been prepared by the Post Office Department for the week.
 Effective Nov. l, all foreign Air Mail rates are being reduced. The highest price for sending a one-half ounce letter anywhere in the world will then be 25 cents. In showing how great the reduction in fees will be, the postmaster said that before the reduction, one-half ounce letter to China would cost 70 cents. After Nov. 1, it will be only g cents. Mail to Egypt, France, Germany and Great Britain will cost only Is cents after Nov. l, and to Brazil, only 10 cents.
 Babin encouraged the use of Air Mail rather than ordinary mail at all times in order to save time. He said there has been a definite in- crease in airmail since the five-cent rate went into effect on Oct. l.
