aBananasl ! have Travelled
$4,000 miles home and they
bring me bananas. That Is the
main part of our diet when !

In Lambarene.
These are the words Of .
fortyish tall statuesque blond
by the name Of Marion Mill
Preminger, who spends at least
fiye months Q year with the
Nobel prize winner in his leper
colony on the equator in
Africa.
Mrs. Preminger is In WASH
ington to represent DR..
Schweitzer at the annual Dis
trict Of Columbia Medical So-
ciety meeting. The banana in-
cident happened when the lo-
cal hotel at which she Is stay
ing felt they had o VIP on
their hands and had TO show
her the hospitality Of the house.
So they sent her a basket Of
fruit--mostly bananas.
There Is something about
Mrs. Preminger that is most
unusual--she can not talk
about herself. Regardless Of
what you ask her, she answers
with q quote by DR.. Schweitzer.
Gives Up Lavish Life
Mrs. Preninger Is the former
wife Of movie producer and di-
rector Otto Preminger. She
was q lavish hostess and the
