staking themselves out in some air-conditioned haven. The heat
humidity combine takes the starch out of newcomers, even though
they come from what is generally believed to be the world's hottest
countries.
Ambassador Gunewardene of
Ceylon says he'a never been so
hot as here.
"It's never more than 84 de
crees in Ceylon," he says, "and
when you get uncomfortable you
only have to travel 10 miles out
cf town up in the mountains and
cool off." - . -

predecessor for funds to air-condition
a part of the embassy here.
"I did so on the grounds that
we have no air conditioning in
tropical Rangoon," he told news
men, while mopping his brow. "I
could see no reason for spending
money for such luxuries in tem

here and discovered to my horror
how hot it really is but , have
never dared to make a similar
request of my government"

higher. Parts of the embassy are
air-conditioned, hut even out in

Pennsylvania avenue across the
street from the White House
where President Eisenhower
holds his weekly press confer

One of the boys asked when he
