Coronation Day Scene Contrast To War Years

(Editor’s note: Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, is now making his fourteenth visit to London in line frith his practice! of years of beinfc on the scene big news.>events. In the following dispatch hd coplrastls the scene on coronatiq!ri day with that of previous visits, particularly the grim years of World War 11,-when London was a blacked-out, * bombed city.> By HUGH BAILLIE LONDON UP — This is more than the coronation of a sovereign. It's Britain’s celebration ;of its renaissance after the war. The. leaders of the nation hope it marks the dawn of a new Elizabethan era of might, majesty, dominion and power. This is implicit in all the decorations, the! illuminations, th'e parades, the abbey ceremonies, but above all in the gay and buoyant spirit of the people in the streets. They haven’t felt bo good for years. You can hear it ip the great voice of their chjeers. You can see it in their eager faces, their indomitable determination to seize evry opportunity to ihake the. most of it, regardless of weather, fatigue, traffic, crushing crowds, or any other aspect of tpe festivities. It’s a grand mixture of- Christmas and Fourth of" July. These are the same people who through long years watched op rooftops for the fires set by the incendiariesi of the skies, who manned the-first aid stations and the rescue squads when the country seemed burning up and tumbling down around them, who went, out to fight in many faraway places. And it' seems as if the spirits of those who didn’t come back are in the happy crowds too. The people who camped in the guiters and on the sidewalks in the rain Mlonday night are the

same breed that camped in the underground when!, their homes were destroyed in the blitz; They can take it. Now the rooftops, where they once spread the coils of barbed wire for the house to house fighting, have Spectators perched on them; the big intersections which used to have pillboxes at strategic locations for the. battle in the ; streets of London are jammed with happy throngs (like New Years Eve in Times Square. The windows which for five years were shrouded with gloomy blackout curtains are crowded with people waving flags, framed in gay bunting and festooned with bright colors; the ruins which still protrude here and there like decayed teeth are masked by grandstands filled with cheering thousands; the ‘ sidewalks where you used to find your way in the dark by following thei shuffling of feet are jammed with people who seem ecstatically happy. The sky that not so long ago fras criss/ crossed by searchlights and reddened by the flames of burning London will be aglare tonight with the greatest fireworks display on record. Who would eVer have thought in the blitz of 1940 that London would ever care for a fireworks display again? f - It all adds up to a manifestation of one of the greatest comebacks of all time. The restaurants where you had to feel your way past sandbag barricades are? bulging with customers. Fiesta? Carnival? Mardi Gras? Yes its all of those, only more so. Commercialized? Sure. The depart-, meht stores • are decorated like those on Fifth Avenue at the-merry -Yuletide. But it's all uplifted with a surge of patriotic and even religious fervor that you can’t escape if you plunge into the atmosphere of Britain today.

Armada Os Planes Salutes Elizabeth 1 i All-Jet Symphony Greets New Queen LONDON UP 4- The greatest British Commonwealth fighter armada to be assembled here since World War II thundered low over Buckingham Palace today to salute a newly-crowned Queen Elizabeth II with an all-jet symphony. One hundred an dsixty-eight -British and Canadian jets, which barrelled up from the English Channel coast across the Thames river in loose: formation, closed ranks and throttled down to scream past the queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the royal family standing on the palace’s front balcony. The formation wah led by an arrowhead of 72 twinengined Gloster Meteor fighter. The other 72 Meteors brought up the rear frith 24 of the Royal Canadian air force’s F-86F Sabres forming the center link between the two British groups. It was a touchy operation for the 650-mile-an-hour Sabres because their pilots had to reduce speed to 345 miles and hour to avoid; shooting past, the slower Meteors. ' ? ' The entire fly-pafet, even at sharply reduced speed, took only 15 seconds. ~ ■ If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
