every sail unfurled to catch the
falling breeze, glided past a spot
light off Diamond Head early to
day, setting a new record in the

To the cheers and whistles of
5000 Hawaiians parked along
Diamond Head road, the sleek
yacht passed under the beam
marking the finish line at 12:08
a.m. (2:06 a.m. -PST), lopping
more than 19 hours off the old
record.-
The Morning Star's official
time for the 2225-mile crossing
from Los Angeles harbor to Dia
mond Head was 9 days, 15 hours,
5 minutes and 10 seconds. ,
The Morning Star's handicap
time for the race was 9 days, 9
hours, 30 minutes and 22 sec

ily mean that she won the race,
The winner will not be named
until all 50 boats in the race
have crossed the finish line and
their handicap times computed.

to observe the preparation and
service of the President's meals,
but he won't have to serve as

There's not much point in hav
ing a human guinea pig eat
some of the President's food
before it is served for the simple
reason that the cooks who pre
pare the food have no way of
knowing which plate or platter
will be offered to the Chief
Executive,
The actual serving is done by

Collier's magazine, tells how
Zhukov led - Mr. Eisenhower
away from the crowd at their
meeting in Potsdam to talk with
him privately.
"There are just too many
large quadripartite meetings in
the glare of publicity d not
enough small heart-to-heart
talks, which are generally more
productive," Zhukov told Mr.
Eisenhower.
As of today, there are no plans
for an exchange of formal din
ners among the chiefs of state
at the "summit " meeting.
There will be a buffet and
bar in a lounge and after the
cocktail hour, the principals
will go their separate ways to
dinner , with members of their
own delegations.
Officials familiar with the
conduct of high-level interna
tional conferences say the great
est accomplishments at Geneva
could well come from these late
afternoon social hours when the
leaders of the four powers can
get to know each other person
ally, and without the formality
of conference table.
Paul P. Roudakoff, then a
U. S. Army major, was inter
preter for Mr. Eisenhower in
1945 when the President., as the
supreme Allied commander in
Europe, had his last face-to-face
session with the Russian high
command. He met with Gen.
Georgi K. Zhukov, now the So
