back in London today from

to the Foreign

However, no action 1s expected
from
London.

Today, re-reading Burton Holmes' superb l•cture on
Egypt
that he delivered long years ago,
I
came across the
following - speaking of
Lord
Cromer, great British pro-consul
in
Egypt:
He gave them two things they
needed
moat,
water
and
justice. "He transformed a nation of
slaves
into
a nation
or rree men. "
And now, the modern Egyptians, entirely
forgetting
their historic debt, repay the British with this orgy of
arson.

away forty buildings - the heart of the largest city in Africa.
Today's news says thatGore than one hundred and fifty fires
were

against the British, and then proceeded to take
it
out on
French and Americans too. (Night clubs, theaters and bars -

In the U. N. Political Conmittee today, the United
states warned the Soviets that a Chinese COIDlllln1at invasion
of Indo-China, Thailand or Burma would require
"the moat
urgent and earnest consideration in the U.N.!"
The
U.S.
warning was backed
by
Britain and France. Russia promptly
counter-charged that the United States was planning to order
Chinese Nationalist troops, who fled from China to
Burma,
to reattack the Chinese Connuniats.






Here's political news from Concord,

the world of aviation, they 're trying to
figure out
wh
a
t
happened
to
an
airliner early today_
when the
b1
pas enger
plan~,
with twenty-three persona
aboard, plunged suddenly,
and
took
a
nose-dive for more
then two thousand feet.
Luckily, they were f l y i n ~
six thousand
1-eM -
and, at four thouaand.,fM'&.,, the pilo
got the plane out of the dive, baok under control, and
~
went
flying
on.
A
It
was
one wild experience
with
the passenger•
many
of whom were
a s l e e p ~ - ~ ~
- early in the
morning.
When the airliner took the nose-dive, they
were
tossed around in wild confusion,
head
over
heel• -
the ba.
6age
piling a.long on top of them.
A
few suffered
minor
injuries, in the helter skelter tossing a.bout.
There's a. supposition that something
might
have gond wren
with
the
mechanism of
the
plane.
But
that seems impossible.
Because,
after
the plunge,
the
air-li~er acted nor
m
ally, and
flew on for
a
routitle
landing a Clevel
a
nd.
Another
ues
is
more
likely -
some
freak of





-2-
the
at osphere,
so
m
e
phenomenal
twist of
air
currents.
The weather was
ood,
no
sign
of
any disturbance.
But
the plane
had
just
flown
over Pittsburgh,
and
w
as
leavin
g
the
space
a
bove that City - when down
she
went.
Which
reminds
us of a fact of
meteorol
ogy
- that
a great
city, with
all
the
heated
buildings,
warms up the air a
lot.
The warm air ascends,
and
sets
up rising currents.
These
might
bes
~
strong that a plane, flying suddenly
out
of a rising current,
might
drop - the way t
ha
t
airliner
did.

The news wires tell us about the baseball

legends
of
the stars of th past.
None more legended,
by
the way, than the great Dizzy
in baseball •*-qualled by his
Dean - whose exploit•
prodigies of graaaar.
Harman Nichols of the United Press, had the
distinction of ghosting newspaper articl~s for ole Dis.

So he tells how he tried to imitate the Dizzy
Deaa
style of syntax, bearing down heavily on
th~
delightful
ord - 'aint.
Which promptly drew complaints
fro ■
achoo
teachers
and
other grammarians.
Nichols mentioned this to
the
mighty pitcher,
and
quotes
him
as replying in the following words:
•Let
them school teachers learn
the
kids English•-knd I'll
learn the
folks
