ler. 4 years old, veteran American
wvar corr'iespondent. for the United
Press. was found dead on a railway
rack in Southwest London early to-
lay, the victim of an accident in the
war-time blackout.
Authorities said they believed he
had suffered a fall from a moving
trai while attempting to leave his
compartment at Clapham Junction.
They said he apparently did not real-;
ze, in the blackout, that the trainj
already had left the station.
He suffered a hard blow on the
might side of the head. Although the
body was found at 5:.15 a.m., it was
believed the accident occurred short-
ly after 9 o'clock last night as Miller
was returning home after covering
the House of Commons debate on
the Norwegian campaign.
Miller, who was European News
Manager for the United Press Associ-
ations, had a colorful career as re-#
porter on a wide variety of war fronts,'
from Mexico in 1916 until the pres-
ent European conflict.
His experiences were recounted in
his autobiographical book, "I Found
No Peace," published in 1936.
A native of Dowagiac, Mich., Mil-
ler was an. employe on a passenger
steamboat on Diamond Lake, Mich.,
and a rural school teacher before he
took "a grandstand seat at the most
momentous show in history."
He went to Chicago in 1912, then
in rapid succession covered the Amer-
ican punitive expedition to Mexico
in 1916, reported inaWashington and
New York, and began his career in
Europe in 1917.
Besides the World War, which he
saw from the British and American
fronts in France, he covered the Riff
uprising in Morocco in 1925, the
Ethiopian invasion, the Spanish Civil
War, the Russian-Finnish War of a

Mrs. H. B. Britton, prominent wo-
man flyer, will be the gutest speake~r
at the University of Michigan Flying
Club meeting at 8 p.m. today in the
Union. She will discuss ."How To
Obtain an Instrument Rating."
Mrs. Britton obtained her instru-
ment rating on December 15. 1939,
at the Detroit City Airport under
II. 0. Setter. This rating requires
intensive study and labor and is
held by less than ten women in the
United States. Setter is now in-
structor for the Link Trainer at the
University in the Civil Aeronautics
Authority flight training program.
In 1936 and 1938, Mrs. Britton was
president of the 99 clubs, the only
national organization for woman
flyers and has continually tried to
stimulate aviation among women.
She has flown over 1,000 hours.

Another improvement which Pro-

a clarification of administrative 'pro-

said, "it is loosely drawn, indefinite

It is evident that a majority in the

cause they have refused to emascu-
