Two Young Poles
Flee Homeland In
20-Year-Old Plane
| COPENHAGEN, Denmark, UR—
: Two daring young Poles, fled
j their Communist homeland in a
| ramshackle sport plane Tuesday,
eluding pursuing jet fighters and
landing on the rocky Danish is
land of Bornholm.
They said they had planned
their getaway for years.
The youths told of leaving the
small' Polish town of Stupsk and
flying a -biplane, more than 20
years old, for at least 100 miles
to Danish soil in the Baltic.
When they reached the Polish
coast, they said, military planes
began to chase them. A dense
fog saved them.
Clad in shabby civilian clothes,
the youths—both in their 20s—
happily told of joining an avia
tion club to further their escape.
One trained as an aviation in
structor, the other as a radio op
erator.
They used the cover of early
morning darkness to set out in
1 the old plane, the property of
| the flying club.
Their names were tentatively
j given as Eduard and Scemat
Franccszek. They insist they are
j not related.
A jellyfish, 99 per cent water,

British Royal Couple’s Reception
At New York City'Is Climactic
Triumph to New World Visit
--<!
4,000 Attend Formal Ball
At Waldorf-Astoria For
Queen Elizabeth II
NEW YORK, UP— Tiara-topped
socialites and celebrities watched
a tired but still gracious Queen
Elizabeth II say goodbye to New
York City Monday night at a for
mal dinner and ball.
Typical of the intricate course
laid out for the British monarch
during her 10-day visit to Canada
and the United States was a gold
overhead ribbon at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, site of‘ the dinner.
There were about 4,000 persons
at the dinner. Elizabeth could not
dine with them all.
Thus she followed the gold
marker to visit each of six periph
eral banquet halls enroute to the
dies in the grand ballroom.
Of delicate beauty was the
dress worn by the queen for her
final appearance in New York.
It was of multi-colored lace,
re-embroidered in paillettes in ir
ridescent shades of pale pink,
blue and green, and simulated
jewels.
From a low waistline at the
back cascaded a fantailed train
of floating silk tulle in all shades
of the rainbow. With this dress,
the queen wore a diamond tiara,
necklace and earings of sapphires
and diamonds and a diamond
bracelet.

NEW YORK, (ff)—Queen Eliza
beth II and Prince Philip flew
home Tuesday to their children
and more chores of state with
millions of friendly Americans
wishing them Godspeed.
A banquet and glittering ball
ended their North American tour
just before their plane left Idle
wild Airport at 10:58 p.m. last
night. The giant American-built
DC-7C landed at London Airport
at 8:02 a.m.
At the banquet which followed
an all-day traditional New York
welcome with ticker tape and all
the other fanfare, Elizabeth again
appealed for U.S.-British unity.
The Queen and Prince left for
London after spending four days
in Ottawa, a day in Virginia help
ing to commemorate the 350th
anniversary of England’s first
New World colony at Jamestown*
four days in Washington as guests
of President and Mrs. Eisenhower
and a hectic day in New York.
“Fabulous,” was the Queen’s
word for New York.
Their all-out New York recep
tion was a climactic triumph to
a whirlwind visit.
Crowds estimated at lVfe mil
lion thronged the busy New York
streets to catch a glimpse of them.
Tickertape, weighed out by street
sweepers later at a total of 200
toijs, showered down as they
moved up lower Broadway from
the Battery to City Hall, and then
to the Waldorf-Astoria.
They went to the 102nd floor
of the Empire State Building to
survey the city in misty twi
light. Elizabeth’s reaction was a
breathless, “It’s beautiful . . .
beautiful . . . the most beautiful
thing I’ve ever seen.”
