their beauty. In fact, he intends
to check up later on a few inter-

ed about American girls.
Kronaoer's story of his life in
Italy and Switserland was interest
ing, but hardily exciting "aa one
might expect. He entered the Poly
technic Milan in 1»40, majoring in
engineering
While he was attending school, the
Royal Air Force bombed Milan,
destroying much of the heart of
the city. Upon graduation in 1945,
the young engineer began working
for a Swiss textile muL Later he
went to work for his father in
Milan.
In May Kroaauer booked |
sage oa an 11-ton Polish “boat”
and latft Italy from the port of
Genoa. That voyage helped squelch
one of his early desires: to be an
officer on a naval man-o-war. Any
way, as be said, Switserland has
no ocean-going wumhlps.
Upon arrival in New York his
first move was to call Arturo Tod-
eaninni, world-famous
friend of the family. Tbr
maestro was not in the city at
that time, however. The erstwhile
admiral tken proceeded to one of
Manhattan's flashier bistros, where
ho was shocked to loam that it was
financially unwiae to indulge la
drinking to the extent that he had

When asked about A. A M.’s

Kronauer admitted that hot wea

more than anything else to do with
