CORONATION FEVER !!

Visitors arrive early to share the ex-
citement sweeping through Britain
in Coronation Year!
All of Britain has come down with
glorious case of Coronation Fever
and it's spreading right across the
Atlantic.
There's a special thrill in seeing
the fabulous Crown Jewels in the
Tower of London, knowing that on
June 2 they will grace the person of
Elizabeth the Queen. There's won
derful extra in standing before
Westminster Abbey, the Coronation
setting in watching the Chang
ing Of the Guard at Buckingham
Palace, in visiting Windsor Castle.
There's an undeniable splendor
added to the traditional pomp and
circumstance in these pref Corona
tion months.

You feel the mounting excitement
in every English shire and town.
You can hear it in the rich harmony
of Welsh choir, in the skirl of Scot
tish bagpipes. You can sense it in
traditional dances at country fairs
in Northern Ireland.
This is the time to catch the real
spirit of Britain, to travel as you
please in maximum comfort and at
minimum cost. And you can see all
the delights of England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland for as
little as $14 a day. This does not in,
clude transatlantic transportation,
but it does include car to take you
around. So why not come to Britain

the i-Eisenhower prOpagandists
have worked since before the
inauguration-but without discern
ibIe results so far as public senti-
ment is concerned. The first great
disappointment was Ike's refusal
to be needed into break with Mr..
Taft, plus the fact that the two are
now recognized as not only po-
litical but personal friends. The
other was refusal to ''crack down
on Senator Mccarthy, which would

would have lost party control of a

is exactly one.

other is to picture him as a poor

awareness of their target.

This is the toughest thing they
have to bear. 1t seems hardly pos
sible the President should not know
of this more or less concerted eff
fort to disparage him. Yet not once
has he lost his temper, written de-
mandatory letters, called anyone a
liar, presented anyone with an
iron cross. or, as one of his prede-
cessors frequently did, tried to
damage a writer with his employ
ers or clients by personal COM
plants and requests. 1t is some
what astonishing that this cam
paign of disparagement, which has
been going on for more than five
months, has not had at least some
effect upon both the President and
the public. Because, for the most
part, the participating individuals
have fairly large audiences.

Practically all of them were anti
Eisenhower during the campaign
last fall. A large portion were
strong adherents Of the late Frank

and just as ardent Fair Dealers,
passionate supporters of eX-Gov-

liberals for a generation Satu-
rated with the conviction that any

absurd to portray the General,
personally, as either isolationist,

to do that would boomerang pretty
badly. Everything about the man,
as a soldier, a candidate and a

Early Happenings

TALLAHASSEE Up - They're
ironing out old records at the
State Library and learning SONG
grisly little details about Florida's
past in the process.
The records are documents rom
the state comptrollcr's office which
have lain folded in dusty stacks
for 100 years or more. They're so
old and brittle that they're in
danger of crumbling under any
but the most gentle handling.
So they're being pressed with a
steam iron to straighten out their
ancient creases and moisten them
enough to lessen their brittleneSs.
Most of the records deal with
reimbursementS to the counties for
expenses in prosecuting and pun
iShing law breakers. State Archi.

biggest items of expense in the

At $3.50 By
City Auditors

Mrs. Meta Mansfield, who
admitted to embezzling city
funds while an employee in
the Tax Collectors Office,
has made full restitution of
the missing money, it was re-
ported today by City Mana
g er Dave King. Tot |
amount paid back to the city
was $1,210.50, King added.
Earlier, the figure had
been set variously at from
$1,193 to $1,000, but the
city's auditors in their final
report to the city, said that
some of the money thought
to have been taken by the
woman was not missing but
could not be readily account
ed for due to clerical errors
in the books.
Mrs. Mansfield, wko is current
ly free on $500 bord, still faces
grand larceny charges in connec-

Senate Takes
Major Work
Measures Are
Being Readied
In Committee
For Action Soon

WASHINGTON IA - The Senate
took a normal working day off to-
day for the fourth time in two
weeks for lack of any major bust
ness on its calendar.
The recess from Thursday to
Monday was ordered despite a
drive by Republican leaders to ad-
journ Congress by Aug. 1-seven
weeks off.
CuStomarily, the Senate meets
Monday through Friday each week.
The House, which also is off to.
day, has fewer sessions. For one
thing, it does not have the I'M
limited debate rule of the Senate
and so normally acts faster on
legislation.
Acting Senate Leader KnowIand
(R-Calif). who moved for today's
recess, expressed a fervent hope
Senate committees would report to
the floor soon some of the bills
the administration wants this ses-
sion.
Knowland has predicted the 1858
session viii enact a good percen-
tage of President Eisenhower's
program and still meet the Aug. l
adjournment target.
But so far only two major leg
iSlative measures. have been sent
to the President--one extending his
power to reorganize the govern
ment and the other the controver.
Sial measure giving the states con-
troll of offshore lands within their
historic boundaries.
These measures should be ready
for Senate floor debate soon:
A continental shelf biIl-a COM
panion to the submerged lands
measure providing for federal
leasing of the underwater oil and
gas rights beyond the state bound
aries.

committee also wants to examine
it. A House version, somewhat
smaller, was approved yesterday
by the foreign affairs committee.

for the Agriculture Department.
The House already has passed it,
and it is ready for Senate debate.
