"SLEEPING BEAUTIES"
LINERS AT NEW YORK
PRIVACY WELL GUARDED
NEW YORK, March 8
Christened the "three sleeping beauties," the liners Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary, and Normandie are lying safely in adjoining berths, and 15? police are maintaining their privacy. The piers are closed and loitering in the adjoining streets is forbidden. The New York "Herald-Tribune," applauding the Queen Elizabeth's arrival, describes the voyage as a classic example of the stringency of the British censorship, and the staunchness of British self-control.
A member of the Queen Elizabeth's crew related that the ship was accompanied for the first twelve hours of her journey by four destroyers' and two bombers, but from then onward they did not sight a vessel.
