There was an ordinary sleeping car for the NKVD and correspondents, another for the Davies party to use at night and a diner in which all food was exclusively the quick-frozen U. S. product of Heiress Davies' company. Though they did take into Russia 25 refrigerators containing 2,000 pints of quick-frozen cream (TIME, Dec. 28), Ambassador Davies deprecates press references to the well-publicized Davies commissary.
