Voice from the Past

Svelte, beautiful Margot Cairns White was a ballet dancer and the daughter of a respectable British family of Cheetham Hill, Manchester. She was also, like the late, infamous William Joyce, a member of Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists. Like Joyce, Margot had a falling out with Sir Oswald, and when Joyce departed for Germany a few days before war broke out, she sailed with him to become his second wife. His first, a Glaswegian, later identified Joyce as Hitler's Haw Haw. Margot became Lady Haw Haw.

At the end of each of Joyce's weekly broadcasts her superrefined Mayfair accents could be heard knowingly discussing the gay night life of Berlin and the happy lot of German womanhood as compared with that of their miserable British sisters. Then came V-E day and the end of the broadcasts.

But last week the voice of Lady Haw Haw was heard again. In a British prison camp in Germany reserved for violent Nazis, visiting British M.P. Beverly Baxter heard a woman scream: ''You murdered my husband, but you won't murder me!" Turning, he recognized the still beautiful face of Margot Joyce. The accent was no longer so refined.
