MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

headaches here for Navy shore
patrol officers trying to keep tabs
on the activities of sailors from
ships of 18 nations participating
in today’s International Naval
Review.

guage barrier is causing problems
in the written as well as the
spoken word.
For example, he said, many of
the foreign sailors can’t readily
spot the important difference be
tween doors labeled “men” and
those labeled “women.”

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince
Philip are going to Canada this
fall, he announced yesterday.
London sources said they also
will visit the United States. This

“As you probably know, we—
the queen and I—are going to
Canada in the autumn. The queen
has been invited to open Parlia
ment.”
Laughter greeted his remark
that “We do not know who will
be Prime Minister when we get
there.”
They were invited by Prime
Minister Louis St. Laurent, swept

opened the Canadian Parliament
in 1939.
President Eisenhower has in
vited the royal couple to visit the
