London (U.R) In the rosy
glow of Queen Elizabeth II's cor
onation in 1953, Britons spoke
of a new "Elizabethan Age."
Since Suez, the glory has
turned ashes. Britons are flee
ing their homeland in alarming
numbers 6.000 a month to
Owiada. 56,000 a year to Aus
tralia, 850 enquiries a day at
the New Zealand office. Only
hipin space limits the exodus.
Officially, both the queen and
her consort. Prince Philip, en-
Qcourage migration. Both the
Conservative gov ernment in
power and the Labor party in
opposition support it. After all,
they say, the flight is to the
corrgnonweath the tie to the
Jfown is still there.
But privately thinking Bri
tons are worried, and govern
ment officials are aghast at the
losffof the cream of the nation's
youth, its technicians and scien
tists. Britain seems in danger of
losing its "brains."
Conservative O. J. Alport, un
dersecretary for commonwealth
relations, told the House of Com
mons during debate on the "Em
JWre Settlement Bill," which en
courages migration to the com
monwealth: Emigration should be based
on a cross-section of the popula-
Otion . . .Jest Britain be left with
aff5 unstinnnrtahle residue of the
r aged and infirm.
Mostly the Young
Alport said that nine-tenths of
those going to Canada and five-
sixths of the Australia - bound
were under 45 years of age. The
1953 Canadian figures show that
one-fifth were managerial work-
erg or professional men. The
o percentage has since jumped.
An Australian spokesman said
only six per cent of the migrants i prove a shock. Full-page ads ap
return to Britain four per pear in newspapers noting the
cent due to an ailing parent or
death.
"Two per cent were dissatis
fied with life in Australia," he
said, "but half of these went
back again."
Both the influential Times of
London and Manchester Guardi
an have suggested that full sta
tistics on the exodus would
opportunities for young Britons
who stay home.
While both the Conservative
and Labor Party platforms still
endorse migration, the parties
make political hay blaming each
other for the flight.
Classes Levelled
The Conservatives charge that
the Laborites, when they im
posed Socialism on the country
after the war, "Levelled down"
the classes. By guaranteeing
social services, the Socialists
raised already-high, taxes. Ac
cording to the Conservatives,
this killed incentive.
When he took office. Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan said,
"Britain has been great, is great
and will stay great provided we

Jamestown, Va. (U.R) Some
thing like 2 million Americans
will come here this year to see
where 104 men and boys found
ed the first permanent English
settlement in North America 350
years ago.
Virginians have put much time
and effort into this observance
of the beginning of our nation
and, if Capt. John Smith and his
17th century band could return,
they would find much that is
familiar.
At anchor along the west bank
of the James are replicas of the
three tiny sailing ships, Susan
Constant, Godspeed and Dis
covery, that bore them across
the Atlantic.
A wooden path leads from the
ships to a duplicate of the fort
and the crude shelters built by
the colonists that first summer
in 1607. Generally unknown is
that only 38 survived the next
winter they had not raised or
stored sufficient food and the
island site they chose was
swampy and insect-infested.
Finally Women
The first two women did not
arrive until the next year. And
it was also not until then that
the colonists, desperate, accepted
Captain Smith as their leader.
At first they had found him too
sure of himself.
Just off the colonial reproduc
tions is an ultra-modern festival
park with two large pavilions
housing exhibits dating from the
15th Century to the present.

Quotes From the News
By .UNITED PRESS
Washington Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (D.-Mo.T charging
"the State deparlrrient is engaging in censorship" by forbidding
U.S. newsmen to travel in Red China:
"In connection with your (the State department's) denial to
help American newsmen in the free exercise of their profession,
I understand you rejected an opportunity to obtain the release of
10 Americans now imprisoned in China. I doubt if those impris
oned Americans, and their families and friends will be grateful
to you."
Thomasville, Ga. White House Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty, announcing President Eisenhower's approval of Senate
changes to his Middle East resolution:
"The President feels that the Senate committee's text Is intend
ed and designed lo accomplish the purposes outlined by the Presi
dent in his message to the Congress of Jan, 5. 1957."
Cairo Abdel Kader Hattem, Egyptian government informa
tion director, expressing surprise at reported United States guar
antees for Israel against Egyptian "aggression":
"It is inconceivable that the United States is not aware that it
is Israel which has alway been the aggressor."
Washington Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton. telling Senate
investigators what his answer would be if President Eisenhower
asked him about imposing price controls on oil and gasoline:
"I'd be strongly opposed. I don't see how we can have them

London Former Prime Minister Anthony Eden, in a radio
message to voters in' his former parliamentary district while on
his way to New Zealand for vacation:
"If peace is to endure it must be related to justice. Therefore
it is dangerous when the United Nations treats obedient and small
countries with harshness and allows bullies and braggarts lo get
their way." 1
Washington Assistant Defense Secretary Robert Tripp Ross,
in resigning during a congressional investigation into military
contracts awarded firms operated by his wife and brother-in-law:
"My future effectiveness in my present position . . . has been
impaired by the very serious implications contained in certain
news stories."

where the first settlement was
founded. "There can still be seen
the old Jamestown church, built
in 1639, with three walls still
standing. There also is the monu
ment erected for the finally ill
fated 300th anniversary.
President Eisenhower will
come here May 13 for the cele
bration of the anniversary date
of the landing.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth is
expected in September or Octo
ber although this is not final.
Her visit probably will not co
incide with a full-dress reenact
ment of the battle of Yorktown
where Cornwallis surrendered
to Washington.
Mock Battle
Ancient militia organizations
from various states have been
invited to act as the troops in
that mock battle. Those of Bri
tish origin will take the part of
the Redcoats and several Na
tional Guard units will portray
tie French contingent. There
will be some 500-800 troops in
all and each phase of the battle,
complete with cannon and mus
ket fire and fife and drum, will
be reenacted.
There will also be a naval re
view in June with 27 foreign
countries invited to send ships
to the Hampton Roads area. The
last "Jamestown Review" in
1907 was taken by President
Theodore Roosevelt.
Organizers are optimistic that
the tourist crowd will be huge.

close our ranks and get on with
the job."
Many of the English them-i
selves admit that, whether it'
comes to running a railroad or j
a grocery, they aren't "getting
on with the job."
"Why work harder and earn
more since we will be taxed
more?" they say in reply to
charges of laziness. "It's not
worth the effort. The man who
doesn't work as hard gets as
much out of life. Nobody is
starving here."
No one is starving. But the
ambitious tend to get out.
The Liberal London News
Chronicle said last week, "Thou-
sands of people are leaving this
country. They're going and we ,
might as well face it because
they've had all they can take . . .
"Give them one good reason i
just one why they should
stay."

Seafon Asks Study
On Pleasant Valley
Washington '(U.R) Interior
Secretary Fred A. Seaton said
today he has ordered a detailed
study to determine the econom
ic feasibility of development of
the Pleasant Valley dam site on
the Snake river on the Oregon
Idaho border.
Seaton did not say whether he
envisioned such a multi-purpose
development as a federal proj
ect. If the study shows the project
is feasible, it could disrupt plans
of independent power compan
ies to build dams on the Snake.
Pacific Northwest Power Co.,
asked the FPC to disqualify pub
lic power groups from further
intervention in its MountaiD
Sheep and Pleasant Valley dam
applications. It said delaying
tactics by the National Hells
Canyon association and other
power intervenors are costing it
millions of dollars.
Portland May Be
Without City Buses
Portland U.R) Portland to
day faced the prospect of being
without public bus transporta
tion next month.
The Rose City Transit com
pany told the city council yes
terday that if fare increases
asked by the firm are not grant
ed notice will be served Feb. 19
that the firm would halt iU
buses. The city council prompt
ly voted to deny the company
any fare increase.
Mayor Terry Schrunk said the
city may be without public
transportation, presumably on
March 19, providing the com
pany enforces its threat.
The firm filed for fare In
creases last November and
sought to eliminate the package
token rates and the weekly pass.
A compromise offer by Commis
sioner N. A. Boody was said by
the firm to be unacceptable.
There was no indication what
action might follow.
