Plan to Suit You- Week Of Experiments Proves Fruitless As Britons Return Smiles But Won't Break The Ice And Speak First To American By HAL BOYLE Associated Press Staff Wrilor BOMBAY, March 2. The- Boyle Society for the Promotion of International Relations submits herewith today its first annual report on "how long can you sit in roomful of strange Englishmen before one speaks to you?" Although the results so far obtained entirely were negative the answer would-appear'to be: "Forever if you don't wear out first yourself." I had heard Hal Boyio so often and from so people oi British prejudice againust up conversations striking with 11IJ J. strangers that I decided to test the theory myself. The opportunity came New Delhi which is the capital of British conservatism in India.

My quarters were In a smau residential hotel at the edge at Connaught circus. Smiles At The dining for my experiment was cozy with close set tables but so quiet that if you dropped your fork it sounded like an artillery barrage, There were 25 guests in the hotel All "were nice respectable people. There were two' young girls on the' vinegar side of twenty and several bachelors who sat as far away from the girls as possible. I thought it only to do all I could to make it as painless as possible so for the first two days each lime another guest passed my table I looked up and smiled and nodded in what I hoped was a pleasant manner. I received several startled looks and an occasional nod in return.

But no words. Woman Smiles Back This-was getting me nowhere, I cased the joint further and decided to concentrate on two guests. My prospective victims were a plump lonely looking woman of about 50 who sat at a table by herself and another diner at an adjoining table young captain who was up to his thick- IF ITS A YOU WANT! DIAL 711 BRYANT'S TAXI Hunlor Coiion Bryant OWNERS Avo. lensed glasses in Tolstoi's "War and Peace." I smiled and nodded so vigorously at the plump lady thnt my face began to crease like Greek comedy mask. She smiled back and several times she drew in her breath as iC to say something but she couldn't quite make it across the barrier.

I had even less luck with my myopic captain, Every time he glanced over I would give him a grin as wide as Texas and nod vously, look back again uncertainly vously, lok back'again uncertainly and then diye into his soup and Tolstoi. Finally Up Day after day pased. and I got nowhere. I lived in'a strange hall the world of camaraderie where nods and smiles took the place of language, I was slowly making silent friends with several'guests but we might as well have' been Eskimos and Zulus instead- oC American and Britons. Several looked puzzled because I didn't speak.

Americans are always expected to speak first. last night I was desperate. When plump lady passed I looked up and-grinned and deliberate- ly'winked at her, She laughed and giggled but didn't speak. I turned to the captain, glanced, at his Tolstoi'and frowned and'shook my-head. He just shrugged read on.

meal's- end I knew I had lost. My experiment was a failure. So when a cheerful looking RAF officer walked by, I looked him squarely, in the eye and said, "Hello," That broke the ice. "Cheerio," he said and smiled and walked out, Everybody-looked relieved and so was I after a week of fruitless pantomime. Perhaps if I- could have experimented a month or could have brought the empire to terms and made it speak first.

It was the first month in nearly five years, and one of the few since 193J, when the U.S. treasury didn need red ink for its bookkeeping. Government receipts for first 27 days of February were $3,695,148,867. Expneses were Both figures will be larger when final statistics for all 28 days of the month-are in. But the black-ink difference likely to be much changed.

In Frbruary, 1945, the government spent almost $7.5 billion, and took in about $3.5 billion less than that.

Most of the government's other activities cost more this February than last. And one month "out of the red doesn't mean a balanced federal budget.

Spending for the first eight months of the current fiscal year through February has exceeded receipts by nearly $20 million. Last previous black-ink month for the treasury was March, 1941. Income-tax collections were heavy that withholding system, which spreads government revenue fairly evenly through the not yet having been adopted.
