YORK (UP)—She can t
"no” when she should, *
But that isn’t spoiling Mrs.
plph Churchill’s first visit
to the United States.
Winston Churchill’s daughter-
in-law says she feels as if she
Just stepped into a fairy land.
Of course, she ponts out rue-
fully that the very idea of being
able to buy dresses, shoes, and
what nave you •without ration
coupons has gone to her head.
She has bought four dresses, and,
although,she doesn.’-t.like any of
them, she's afraid to take them
l>ack.
“Why. in England." she says,
”lf you tried to take something
back, they'd just shoot you —
with everything as scarce as it
is."
“And the food!” Then Mis.
Churchill’s face lights up as she
tells how she wants to order ev-
erything on the menu—she can't
believe they have all that in the
vestaurant. Then when it comes,
she can't eat it. She says the ex-
citement has made her lose her
appetite—and she’s furious.
Rut the beautiful, red-haired
girl who has been in the Chur-
chill family for seven years says
she just loves everything about
New York—the theatres, lights,
and the people— especially the
cab drivers, who, she says, are
the friendliest people she has
evert known.

German Cruiser To
Stand Atomic Test
BERLIN (UP) — The mighty
German cruiser Prinz Eugen Is
coming to this country.
But she won’t be here for
show. The pride of the former
German fleet will be subjected
to tests by American- scientists.
Ahd though 'no one will corrob-
orate the fact, it's generally be-
lieved that the 18,000 ton cruis-
er may he used in the Navy’s
forthcoming atomic bomb tests.
The Prinz Eugen will sail
from Bremen for the States this
weekend. Aboard her will be a
skeleton crew of eight American
naval officers and 85 enlisted
men, commanded by Captain A.
H. Grnubert of Los Angeles,
along with German crewmen.
The ship is expected to arrive
in Boston in about 10 days. She'll
either rot out the rest of her
days at American wharfs, or go
out in grand style—with the aid
of the split atom.
Atomic Lab Must
Convert to Peace
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, N.
Y. (UP) — Atomic research at
Columbia University upset the
Havemeyer hall of chemistry al-
most as hadly as the atomic
bomb upset Hiroshima.
Well, almost. The director of
the research labs there says that
they’ll practically have to re-
build the laboratories complete-
ly in order to convert them to
peace-time use —and they won't
be ready until September.
