NEW YORK, Feb. 4. (Storm-tossed and tired, but radiant with anticipation, the first group of "British brides" English women who married American soldiers during the war reached New York today on the army transport, Argentina, after a nine-day nightmare voyage across the North Atlantic.

A total of 451 women and 175 children were aboard the ship which docked shortly before 7 a. m. The wives ranged in age from Mrs. Ben F. Butler, 16, to Mrs.

Harold N. Cooper, 44. Thirty of the women were expectant mothers. Three literally risked their lives to make the voyage. They were in advanced stages of pregnancy, and when the Argentina encountered the first of several record-breaking storms, they were confined to the ship's hospital under constant observation by army doctors and nurses.

I The brides came from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Malta. They were destined for homes in 44 different states. Socially, they represented in majority Britain's middle and upper classes. Most of them took the army transport only because it was the quickest means of rejoining their husbands. The 451 aboard the Argentina were given passage from among some 27,000 applications under an army system of priorities based on hospitalized and de mobilized American soldiers.

They were first "screened" in an American army camp at Tidworth, Southern England. The investigation was carried out by army doctors and United States immigration authorities. Then they came aboard the Argentina at Southampton. It was the first "brides' ship" in more than 200 years to bring British girls to American husbands. Not since the days when sailing ships brought wives to the American colonists on the shores of New England has there been such a voyage.

TAKES POST WASHINGTON. UP) Capt. Jean T. Palmer of Omaha, has taken over as doctor of the WAVES, replacing ICapt. Mildred McAfee Horton who resigned.

It was rescribed to the American astronomical seciety today by its discoverer, Dr.

Nicholas E. Wagman, acting director of the University of Pittsburgh's Allegheny observatory. Dr. Wagman said the "dark" star travels around its brilliant companion at a distance of miles, completing each circuit in 8V2 years. The companions are in the northern constellation of ophiu-chus which, according to Greek fable represented Hercules killing the serpent.

What good is the discovery? Well, Dr. Wagmen says it will lead to better understanding of Alhiuchi himself. The astronomer says Sirius, "the most interesting of all stars," was not understood until its companion star was found, and that Mars was "not well known at all" until its satil-lite was "explored."
