The trip ended at the "Hell's
Angel's" Fortress group of Col.
Kermit D. Stevens, Eugene, Ore.
The party visited the barracks
and squadron headquarters and
then went over to have 5 o'clock
tea at the Red Cross hut.
Princess Elizabeth, whacked a
shiny, new B-17 over the nose
with a bottle of cider and christened-
it "Rose' of York." King
George asked dozens of questions
about the bomber.
The queen was smiling and
chatting with the greasy, cover
ailed mechanics for all the world
as if she were their own mother.
She shook hands with boys from
Mississippi, Texas, and Michigan
and learned how they l(ked Eng
land. -
To top it off the Windsors and
their daughter ate American ice
cream twice.
The Darty traveled in automo
biles. They stopped first at the
base commanded by Lt. Col.

"Can you put it together? Put
it together for 'me," said the king.
Smolenski looked, around and
started putting the big pieces
back in the case. He did all right
until he got to the tiny, pinhead-er-size
screws. His hands began
shaking and beads of perspira
tion popped out on his forehead
as the king watched over the re
pairman's shoulder.

"I'm nervous.-
The king stepped back and

no joke for Smolenski.' It took
him some time to recover.

after the king had left." '

MASCHA NOW
SAFELY IN
PORTLAND, July 7 (IP)
Mascha, the Himalayan bear
which refused yesterday to leave
her den on a Russian ship to
be presented to. Governor Snell,
was safe in the Portland zoo
today." -
B u.t Director Arthur M.
Greenhall, who made room in
his crowded zoo next to another
Himalayan bear, had a hard
time getting her there.
She leaped off the unloading
platform into the Willamette
river, headed, for a log. Then,
ducking around the pilings, she
clambered to the dock with an
eel in her mouth and oil in her
fur.
"She will have to have a
bath t o d a y," Greenhall said.
"She ground the dirt on the pil
ing right into her fur, in addi
tion to the oil. I had a hard
time' determining what kind of
bear she was when I first saw
her." '
The Russian crew's present,
he added, is due for a rechris
tening. "I've always called the
other Himalayan bear 'Trou
ble'," he said. "After Mascha's
escapade, her. name naturally
will be 'Double'."
