In Capital Letters | By Mona Dugas One unexpected angle of Prime Minister Churchill's visit to this country was the arrival at the White House of gifts galore—sent the popular hero by many of his followers in this country. So numerous are these presents from the admiring populace that the British have a serious problem on their hands as to what to do with them, If they are sent to England they will require practically a whole ship to carry them—so the local British powers-that-be have almost decided to store them here for a possible “Churchill museum” to commemorate the visit. As varied as they are numerous, the tokens of esteem range from letters sent by fans who promise io include Churchill in their prayers to cartons that, when opened, reveal shining jars of a well-known complexion cream! Dozens of pairs of gloves have reached the White House addressed to the President’s distinguished guest, Then there is the painting—portraying the President and the Prime Minister in their famous meeting at sea, with a figure representing God standing between them and blessing their efforts. * & ® ¥ The First Sea Lord of the British Navy is here with Prime Minister Churchill's mission. The other night he attended an informal party—accompanied at every step by a burly plain-clothes man. His shadow didn't seem to detract from the officer’s enjoy=- ment of the dance, however. O Josef Polodna, who has gained many friends here since his arrival about a year ago as an attache at the Czech Legation, has just recejved a promotion. He will leave soon to take up his duties as Charge d'Affaires at the Czecho-Slovak Legation in Havana. * ok ok x Sometimes national patriotism must struggle with civic pride for supremacy—and it's a hard battle. There’s the story from the local F. H. A. offices, which were forced to send telegrams to the out-of-town offices asking the personnel to work on New Year Day. No sooner had the telegrams had time to arrive than the head of the office in Durham, N. C., was on the long-distant phone calling headquarters. “Suh,” he said, in great agitation, “do you all realize that the Rose Don't you know everybody in Durham and most everybody in North Carolina is going?” Headquarters said they were very sorry but the department heads had asked the whole staff to give up its holiday in the interest of patriotism. An anguished wail came from the other end of the wire—'T'll try to see if I can round some of 'em up—but I just have to see that game.” History is silent as to how much work came out of Durham on that historical day.
