Editor's Note: Britain honors Wins
ton Churchill, the statesman, on his
80th birthday tomorrow with porno
an ceremony. The following dispatch
is a closeup on Churchill, the man.
By ROBERT MUSEL
, United Press Correspondent
London (U.R) Sir Winston
Churchill will be 80 tomorrow.
Looking back over his long
career he may wonder how he
got there.
He was a premature baby. Had
a chest weakness at eight, double
pneumonia at nine. Fell out of a
tree and was unconscious three
days when 18, suffered a serious
shoulder injury at 21.
. He fell off a camel at 47, off
a polo pony at 48, into a lake
at 52.
At one time or another he also
suffered from gastro-enteritis,
appendicitis, tonsillitis, skin
trouble, eye . trouble, lung
trouble, seasickness, hernia. He
has survived two strokes.
He was in the room in which
a shell burst in 1916, in a plane
crash in 1919, knocked down by
a New York taxicab in 1931, 50
yards from a German shellburst
in 1945, 50 yards from a bomb
that almost dropped a chandelier
on him during the blitz.
Time No Enemy
Where Churchill differs ft om
most men is that he refuses to
recognize time as an antagonist.
He has changed his mode of liv
ing only the barest minimum. He
no longer smokes 18 cigars a day
or drinks three quarters of a
bottle of brandy. But he still
smokes, he still drinks.
- He no longer works 16 hours
a day but he still works a lot
longer than many younger men.
He awakens about 8 in his
roomy bedroom at No. 10 Down
ing and spends the next two
hours in bed. He reads the news
papers and official reports. He
breakfasts on coffee, bacon and
eggs. Then, in .his striped pa
jamas, he dictates to a secretary
who takes it directly on a noise
less portable typewriter.
He Takes Siesla
He shaves with a safety razor,
bathes and dresses, usually in a
black coat with striped trousers
and blue polka dot tie. Then he
confers with his ministers, firing
specific questions at them and
then entering into a general dis
cussion. -
. After lunch (an aperetif before
and brandy and cigar after), the
PM takes a short nap. He pick
ed up the siesta habit as a young
man correspondent in Cuba.
Then he is off to Parliament,
later to Buckingham Palace and
often to a banquet or late Cabi
net meeting: is near midnight
before he is in pajamas again
dictating to a secretary the last
thoughts of the day.
As benefits a man who is a
legend in his own lifetime,
Churchill is the nub of countless
anecdotes.
A Famous Wit
This story circulates about his
first meeting with Field Marshal
Viscount Montgomery. "I don't
use either alcohol or tobacco and
I'm" 100 per cent efficient," said
Montgomery. "I use both," re
plied Churchill, "and my ef
ficiency is 200 per cent."
Churchill is the most feared
man in . Commons in debate. He
once referred to Socialist leader
Clement Attlee as . "a sheep in
sheep's clothing." , i
He loves all animals, even the
ducks and geese on his estate. A
guest remembers him exclaim
ing to his wife, Clementine, after
plunging the knife into the Sun
day goose: "Yoii carve him,
Clemmy.- He was a friend of
mine.'
According ' to one somewhat
doubtful story, Churchill paused
while making his historic "We
will fight them on the beaches"
speech after the fall of Dunkirk.
He covered the microphone with
his hand, turned aside and mut
tered: .
"We will hit them over the
head with beer .bottles7 which is
all we have to fight with."
English Girl Set

Jean Thompson, who became
critically ill soon after arriving
