LONDON, April 19 (INS)—British shipping experts already are count- ing the dollars that touring Amer- icans will bring into the country when the Queen Elizabeth makes her first private eastbound trip across the Atlantic in the autumn, with estimates ranging in the million-dollar category. The estimates are conservative, however, and based on the $400 limit for each passenger going westward across the Atlantic. Americans are expected to bring a much larger amount on their eastward journeys and one shipping expert figured that he would be very surprised if the Queen Elizabeth did not "import $4,000,000 a month as soon as she resumed her regular passenger sailings." Liner Is Reconditioned The biggest Cunard liner there- fore would bring roughly $40,000,000 to England before the end of the year.
