CAPTAIN CHARLES M. HENDE ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, March 31, 1953 RAF To Mark doth Birthday On April 1 By MICHAEL NEWMARCH LONDON baby of Britain’s fighting services, the Royal Air Force, is 35 years old tomorrow. There is no doubt what the force wants for a birthday present — more and more of the new jet lines. has developed from a few squad- rons of lumbering biplanes firing machine guns through revolving propellers in the closing days of World War I into one of the world’s 4 crack jet forces. is Executive Officer, RSON, USN, U, S. Naval Station will leave April 5 for New London, Conn., where he will report to Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic Fleet for duty. Captain Henderson has served as Executive Officer of the Naval Station since 1951.—U. S. Ni First Lady Of Bath To See US. Kitchen The mayoress of Bath, England, has two main objectives on her first visit to the United States: to visit a New York department store and to see an average Amer- ican kitchen, Blonde, attractive Mrs, Alleyne W..S. Berry, wife of the mayor of Bath, has much more fun than the wife of an American mayor. She has ber own title of mayor- e with specific duties and a handsome gold chain of office, almost as magnificent as the mayor’s, which must be worn to all official functions. She says: “1 know I must sound rather giddy ‘and feminine, but, I have heard so much. about American department stores and American kitchens that I feel { simply must see these wonders for myself. There must-be some reason why. the American women I have met seem to have so much leisure and to be so well dressed and un- hurried, I think perhaps we make too much work of housekeeping in England.” The mayor and mayoress are here to lend authenticity to the opening of the Beau Nash Room, adjoining the famous Pump Room in Chieago’s Ambassador Hotel. Beau Nash was an 18th century dandy who is credited with estab- lishing Bath as the most popular spa in E High spot of the ceremonies will be a stag luncheon next Sat- urday, invitations to which read “200 years late for lunch.” Guests, including top celebrities of stage, screen, TV and radio, -will come dressed in the costumes of 1750, with Arthir Godfrey playing the role of Beau Nash. Mrs. Berry is looking forward to the Chicago festivities but her main interest is in examining U. S. shops, fashions, home appliances and teen-agers. She has a teen- aged daughter, Mary-Rose, 18, and two sons, Roger, 22, and Wil- Ham, 12. The post of Mayor in England is quite different from that in the U. S. The post carries ‘no salary, and usually entails considerable | expense, since a great deal of en- tertaining goes with the job. The mayor is not.chosen by an elec- tion but achieves his post as an honor accorded him by his peers after years of distinguished serv- ice in other municipal offices. His term lasts for one year only, but | carries with it almost royal hon- | ors. As thc cepresentative of the| Queen in the community, the may- | or always walks ahead of everyone | else, including his wife. When he enters a room everybody must rise, and no one can sit down until he does, Says the mayoress: } “It’s quite embarrassing here in | the United States, really, because | the mayor is so accustomed to) going first that he gets into taxi-/ avy Photo. Pretty Girl Cops Act As Live Bait For London Killer LONDON (#—Pretty girl cops in off-duty clothes - stalked London's streets today as live bait for the fugitive Notting Hill strangler of six women and possibly a seventh. Britain’s biggest manhunt in his- tory still had failed to unearth the murderer since first his victims were discovered just a week ago. Anxious Scotland Yard chiefs be- lieved he would strike again soon. They believe the killer lured his victims to the dingy house of death in London’s fading Notting Hill area by a simple ruse he may use again. Officials theorized he would watch one or another of hundreds of advertisement boards outside back street store windows until he saw a young woman scan- ning it, Then he would tell her he had an apartment to let. Acting on this. theory, police- women toured the back street boards: Tough. plainclothesmen were just a few paces behind, ready to pounce if the killer ap-. proached. Scotland Yard issued a detailed new description of John Reginald Christie, missing 55-year-old truck- ing clerk who long tenanted the murder apartment in the horror house. His wife was one of the strangler’s victims. ‘Christie stayed one night last week in a flophouse near London's King’s Cross Station. There he per- suaded a fellow resident to ex- change clothes with hint. A major item of his new wardrobe was a purple overcoat. with diagonal stripes, police said, CONGRESSMAN’S PAYROLL STUDIED WASHINGTON # — U. S. Dis. Atty. Charles M.

ARMY'S BIGGEST GUN LIMBERS in the 220mm. ato she electric: weapon's b 3 he Ft aly by the crew When -World War I ended no one was quite sure what the peace- jtime role of an Air Force should be. The task of getting Parliament ra be to vote the cash for a teasoned policy in 1919 fell to Winston | Churchill, then secretary of state for air. |. He produced a memorandum from Lord Trenchard, chief of the air staff, which laid down the role the RAF has played ever since. It called for a small force grouping the best men and the best ma- chines in a highly skilled elite force trained to expand rapidly when danger threatens. Twenty years iater that policy of seeking quality rather than quantity paid off when a handful of Spitfires and Hurricanes, manned by some of the world’s best pilots, flew circles around the much larger Luftwaffe and won the decisive Battle of Britain. In 1952, Churchill, now prime minister, told the House of Com- mons-he.was making the produc- tion of. modern jet warplanes for the RAF the top priority of British industry. The period since World War II has not been a very happy one for the RAF. Britain returned to the old policy of designing first class machines—this time for the jet age. But few of them thus far have reached service squadrons. Britain boasts the most power- ful jet engine, the world’s fastest fighter, the world climbing record, the world’s first delta bomber and a host of other claims. But as the cold war grew hotter, RAF pilots found themselves fly- ing obsolete Meteors and Vam- pires while Americans flashed by in Sabre jets and the Russian MIGI5 was distributed to Commu- nist satellites. Today the most modern fighters in RAF service are U. S.-designed Sabres. Bomber command heavies are American Superforts, The first of the vigitage machines are now into service. Twin-jet Canberra medium bombers have been wif seruadrois nearly a year, The “winged four-jet Vulcan, and fopp-igt, Val- iant and Victor bombers~‘are on order. +" In the next few monthg the first of three supersonic British fighters put into quantity pro@attion will reach Fighter Command, the Vick- ers Swift, They soon. will be fol- lowed by the Hawker Hunter and the delta-wing Javelin... ** Vote Registration Showing Increase City voting registration has pick- ed up slightly, Deputy Supervisor of Registrations Agnes Lowe re- ported today when ske said that a total of 1,735 voters have appeared at her office in the city hall to date.

American | males will be happier and so will} their families if the men did more | cooking. This advice comes from Edward Arnold, who has. been cooking since the age of 12 and} has the waistline to prove it. He’s | indeed a happy man, as you can! tell from his booming laugh.

PITTSBURGH ‘» — The United States Steel Company began shut- ting down all its stee¥ mills’in the Pittsburgh area early ‘today’ after some 4,500 Uniorl Railroad ° work- men struck following a dispute over the disciplining of two men. A spokesman for U. S. Steel said its plants are entirely dependent upon the Union Railroad and that they cannot operate while the car- rier is on strike. The official said all blast fur- naces would be banked and down by early morning and all open hearths as soon as possible there- after. Thousands of men already are out of work and it is expected about 30,000 will be idle if the rail- road strike contiuées throughout the day.

Also present was Mrs. Arnold, a pretty brunette of Italian des- cent who seemed to be tolerant of the whole situation. She said that her husband is an excellent cook, although he sometimes goes over- board on tossing in ingredients. “When I make a recipe the first time,” hé explained, “I follow the instructions to the letter. But the second time around, I like to im- provise. I toss in whatever’s handy —some herbs, a little wine, some curry powder.” It’s the curry that Mrs, Arnold doesn’t like. Nor will she allow him to tamper with her chicken eacciatore, spaghetti and other Italian dishes. No curry in those, thank you. The lunch was delicious. Mixed green salad, broccoli with holland- aise sauche (dash of horse radish), red wine and a tasty chicken dish broiled with herbs and wine. Arnold beamed over the com- pliments and expounded that other | husbands should follow his exam- ple. The well-known movie actor urged his fellow man. “It’s a great thing for the family. It brings the husband and the wife closer to- gether. The husband begins to understand his wife’s problems, and he forgets about his.
