CHICAGO--British Ambassador Lord Halifax, embarking on a seven-day test of "public sentiment in the American Midwest," tonight encountered "Send Halifax to Halifax" placards borne by pickets at his hotel.
Lines of women, representing four anti-war organizations, paraded at the hotel entrance as Halifax was scheduled to address the Commercial Club of Chicago.
Police kept the picket lines in motion, but declined to interfere with their activity. Th Ambassador made no comment.
The picketing began just after Halifax told newsmen that this nation's 135,000,000 people will prove a margin "of complete British victory" over the Axis powers.
