NEW YORK (CF)-The observa- tion roof of the Empire State build- ing got its 1.080,000i.h visitor Tiiurs- day. Moments later the l,080,00lst arrived-a royal visitor from over- seas.

Queen Mother Elizabeth. who ar- rived for her North American visit Tuesday on the world's largest liner, took time out Thursday to visit thetworld's tallest building. She gasped with delight at the view of New York and its surrounding area.

"There are no adjectives with which I can express the beauty I saw from the tower," she told of- ficials of the corporation which owns the 102-storey building. "It is breathtaking. isn't it?"

The Queen first went -in the ob- servation balcony on the litiih floor, but the crowds already there were so great that a way couldlhardly be cleared by her escort of 15 policemen. She could hardly move for the crush of photographers. re- porters and s p e c ta to r a who crowdel round so. after looking out briefly from two sides she was whisked up to the Crow's nest on the l02nd floor, which had been cleared.

UNSCIIEDULED VISIT

John Keary. executive vice-prey ident of the building corporation. presented her with two models of the building to take back to her grand-children. Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

The Queen made her unsched- uled sightseeing visit after a tour of Bible House on Park avenue. home of the American Bible So- ciety. There she was presented with an inscribed King James Bible and inspected the society's exhi- bits.

"There has never been so many people interested in Rural Beauti- fication as this year," said Colonel E. W. Johnstone president of Lhe P. E. I. Rural Beautification soc- iety. in presenting his annual re- port to that Society at the annual dinner meeting held at the Char- lottetown Hotel last night.

Colonel Johnstons pointed out that this had been a bad year for getting work done but he was amazed at what had been ac- complished. He was particularly impressed with the work of com- munity groups of which there were five in Kings County. two in Queens and one in Prince.

He made note of the roadside beautification scheme and stated that it was a problem to get people interested in growing trees. He announced that a contest would be held next year for the best im- provement in incorporated villages as separate from the community competition.

About 200 people attended the dinner; most or these were con- testants eilher from an individual standpoint or in group efforts. Seated at the head table were. His Honor, Lieut. Governor T. W. i.. Prowae; Premier A. W. Matheson. Hon. C. C. Baker, Colonel and Mrs. Johnstone. Mr. and Mrs. ll. Tait. representing the T. F)aionI Company or Canada at Monctan.' N. 8.. Senator and Mrs. JP.

At the same time, negotiations were to be continued on the ques- tion of overtime work. one of the main issues of the strike. Strikers are demanding that overtime ork should be voluntary instead of om- pulsory as at present.

Employers were not to report men who refused to work ”reason- able" overtime during the negotia- lions.

Late Thursday night. leaders of the atevedores union and other strike chiefs decided not to accept the peace offer until it has been accepted by employers throughout the country.

Industrial circles. however. re- mained optimistic that the strike might be settled within a day or two. Dick Barrett. tough Cockney chief of the stevedores union. told reporters: ”If a formula could be adopted by the national employers we feel sure it would bring peace to the industry and satisfaction tu the men in all the ports."

EM'ERGENCY MEETING

The offer was made at an emer- gency government mediation ses- sion here Thursday organized by the labor ministry.

The session was followed by I meeting of Prime Minister Church- ill and his cabinet to decide wheth- er to call out troops to move es- sential supplies and to protect public services if a settlement is not reached soon.

The cabinet has had an opera- tional plan ready for the last two weeks but has postponed calling out troops inehopes of a settlement and because of fears of possible sympathy strikes in other indus- tries.
