success in Loggerheads, England.

“There have been no local criti
cisms, although I’m sure certain
people somewhere will frown.”

present at the official opening of
the convention by the Emperor of
Japan at the Tokyo International
Trade Center.
Prior to the convention, the
Lammes spent a month in Hong
