LADY DOROTHY MACMILLAN

Press Conference On Arrival

(New Zealand Press Association f AUCKLAND, January 21.

“You see, that’s what always happens when I am photographed,” said Lady Dorothy Macmillan, wife of the British Prime Minister, in Auckland today with an amused shrug. “Really, the number of bulbs I’ve broken already on this trip.” The camera flash went off for the first picture, but for the second, for which she was specially asked to smile, nothing happened. The camera really had a, most charming and attractive model. Tall, grey-haired and with a win-i some smile. Lady Dorothy Macmillan won all hearts at Whenuapai today when, immediately after her arrival, she gave a press interview and answered a steady stream of questions. Although as a rule she hates flying, she said that the Britannia i was a “beautiful plane.” Shei reads a little on long flights and; sleeps a little, but would just i as soon travel at a slower pace on the ground. Shortly after their arrival today, Mr Macmillan and Lady Dorothy Macmillan were televised. She told the press conference that she was thankful the ordeal was over. She is not a television “fan,” and said that! none of the members of her, family in England yet had tele-i vision sets. Undoubtedly the time would come when they would i have to conform to the modern trend, but at the moment, as far! as she was concerned, there “was' not time to sit in a darkened room looking at television.” Lady Dorothy Macmillan was a little concerned about her husband. He had developed a slight cough and a sore throat and she hoped he would not lose his voice. She thought the throat condition might have developed as a result of the air conditioning in hotels they had stayed at in the East.
