...Royal Family, assiduously escorted by their busy host Prime MinisterSmuts-whom the King personally invested with the Order of Merit-shuttled between official receptions and informal garden parties, intransigent nationalists wilted left & right before the family's charm. Daniel Malan, nationalist leader of the opposition, conscientiously boycotted Parliament's address of welcome, but even he was on hand at the state banquet. In a Cape Town park, a group of ardent anti-Britishers enjoying a barbecue apologized for their open shirts and rolled-up sleeves when ubiquitous Smuts suddenly appeared and introduced them to the King & Queen...
...apparently different standards, the Allied records are lower. The top Allied ace, Russia's Major Alexander Pokryshkin (TIME, May 15), is credited with 53, he said last week.

U.S. aces had a chance to surpass any of these records, but Russian Major Alexander Pokryshkin's record...

Top R.A.F. pilot still in combat is Squadron Leader Colin Grey, with
...South Africa's Parliament, ardent Nationalist Dr. Daniel François Malan moved that the Union reorganize as a republic outside the British Commonwealth. Last month a weekly partly owned by the Union's Finance Minister Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr had proposed a republic within the British Commonwealth (TIME, Jan. 17). In the Union Parliament, Prime Minister Jan Christiaan Smuts replied directly to Dr. Malan, indirectly to Minister Hofmeyr. Said Smuts: "I expect nothing from your republic. I have been hearing about this republic for the last 25 years and I don't take it seriously any more...
