Athletic Armaments Race
BRITAIN MUST PRODUCE ROBOT RUNNERS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 11 pan. LONDON, Feb. 9. Harold Abrahams, ex-Olympic runner, speaking at a London dinner, said: “If British prestige suffers owing to our comparative failure in the Olympic Games let us be perfectly honest and make the games out-and-out professional. Let us send people who would be virtually the best-trained robots Britain can produce. What puzzles and worries me is where the race in athletic armaments is going to end. ’ *
Several morning newspapers publish a telegraphed photograph of the Princess Royal and the Duke of Windsor outsido Vienna station. The latter is looking remarkably well, though very pensive.
The Daily Mail's special correspondent says that the Duke of Windsor ran down the platform to the sleeping oar, from which his sister was waving. As she disembarked the Princess threw her arms round her brother’s neck and kissed him. Viscount Harewood shook hands and clasped Edward’s shouldors. Crowds in the streets gave cheers as the party drovo to Enzesfeld. The Princess brought her brother numerous parcels.
