CARDINAL DECLINES
TO ATTEND WEDDING
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, March 3i.--The
appearance Of two leaders of the Action
Franchise, the Roya1ist Society, among
the guests may make It impossible for
Cardinal Lavitrano to off1ciate at the
wedding of Prince Henry de GTise, son
of the pretender to the French throne,
and Princess Isabelle Of Orleans and
Bragance ct Palermo on April 8, it was
understood today.
The Action Francaise Is under the
ban Of the Roman Catholic Church and
the presence of its two leaders, Leon
Daudet and Charles Maurras, was con-
strued as giving an undesirable touch
to the ceremony. although Daudet and
Maurras officially were described as
newspaper men. However, the marriage
may be celebrated, except that o lesser
Churchman win be designated to
officiate. It was suggested at Palermo
that Able Dartein, former instructor Of
the bridegroom, might act.

SMALL VOTE likely
IN VERMONT TODAY
Republican Leaders Concern
ed Over Prospect of Reduced
Majority for Senate Nominee.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MONTPELIER, Vt, March 31.--ver-
mont Republicans strove today to give
Warren r. Austin q normal majority
over his Democratic opponent, Stephen
M. Driscoll, In the special election to
fill the vacancy created by the death
Of Senator Frank L. Greene.
A small vote appeared certain and
Republican leaders feared o less than
normal majority for their candidate.
There was no fear. however, that this
nominally Republican State would elect
a Democratic candidate.
A bitter primary conflict, during
which the Republican machine backed
Austin's opponent, Senator Frank G.
Partridge; the bad road conditions in
some of the mountainous sections and
DriScoll's vigorous campaign have COM
bined to make Republicans apprehen-
sive OF being unable 10 poll more than
a minimum margin. In normal years
the majority has ranged from $4,000
to $4,000.
In their efforts to get out the vote
sleighs wei'e pressed into service Al the
remote sections OF Rutland and Ben
nington Counties.
Both candidates brought their CAM
paigns to close last night with radio
appeals from station WGY, across the
line in Schenectady, N. Y. Driscoll
urged maple sugar producers to rebuke
the administration for its failure to
protect them against Canadian imports
and accused his opponent of side
stepping the prohibition issue. Austin
declared q big Republican majority
would restore confidence and have a
stimulating effect on business. He
avoided mentioning the eighteenth
amendment.
The Democratic candidate Is 81, a wet,
comes from st. Adams and is o mem
Der of the Democratic State Commit
tee. Austin Is So, dry, comes from
Burlington and has served as State s
attorney, Representative in the state
Legislature and United States commits
sioner.

WHITE. HOUSE SETS
EGG-ROLLING PLANS
Program Easter Monday win
include Folk Dancing
and Eand Concert.

There win be egg-rolling, Just as
usual, on the re- lawn OF the White
House Easter ~.
This White tradition, which
has been the it Of small children
In the National Capital for generations,
will be conducted along the customary
lines with the innovation Of folk
dancing.
In making this known at the White
House today, it was said that reports
printed to the contrary were without
foundation. It was explained that there
is no desire on the part of Mrs. Hoover
to change the form of the Easter
Monday festival to the extent of taking
away the chief interest for small chill
drerl. It was said that she wants the
egg-rolling conducted as formerly, but
Ia the interest Of children trifle older
she is arranging for more folk dancing
To add to the pleasure and color there
will be q concert in the afternoon by
Arranged By Telephone.
Although Mrs. Hoover has not yet re-
turned to washington from Asheville
where she has been visiting Herbert
Hoover, IT., arrangements for this pic
turesque annual affair have been made
by long distance telephone conversa-
tions with her. She Is expected back
late today or tomorrow. The under
standing Is that she personally expects
to spend much time ning1ing with the
roYnping youngsters and sitting on the
rear portico with friends looking on at
the gay sight. President Hoover will
present himself on the rear portico for
a brief period on his return from the
Executive ONCE to the White House for
luncheon.
According to the plans now agreed
upon, they are the same as last years
celebration, with the exception Of q
longer period Of folk dancing. The
gates to the rear grounds will be thrown
open for the great day and viii remain
open until o'clock In the afternoon.
The folk dancing will be from 10 to Ia
and from 2 to 3. The band concert will
start at o'clock and continue until
o'clock.
Depends on Weather.
Everything depends upon the weather.
If the air Is balrny and the sun is out
the expectations are that all records of
attendance VIII be broken. Last year
more than 10000 persons, mostly chill
dren under IL years of age, entered the
White House grounds. There will be
first aid tents placed about the grounds
with physicians and nurses in attend
ance. Also there viii be large number
Of Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls on
hand to look out for the safety of the
smaller children and to assist them in
their play.

Payment fiction.

their dependents where the disabilities
are of service origin.
O. r. YoungdahI, Minnesota--The
American Legion, Department of Min
nesota, is proud to hold the 1890 ma
tional service trophy. This honor was
merited by our. department because of
our most successful rehabilitation or.
ganization, which consists Of q service
officer in each post, q district service
officer and State Rehabilitation Com
mittee. Through the State Rehabili-
tation Committee the post and district
service officers are educated as to the
benefits available under present soldier
legislation. BY virtue Of these schools
held at various dates in the various
districts, the local post service ofhcer
to the men in his particular community
who need aid. This program has
brought results beyond our expectation.
I'm our department, because of this
splendid rehabilitation program, the re-
Mobilization committee plans the nee
essary program to be worked on in the
State Upon its recommendation our
department at its department conven-
ton In Rochester in August passed GER
tain resolutions relative to veterans re-
lief. Minnesota did not 60 on record
fer full payment OF the ADJUSTED service
certificates. 1t did, however, 60 on rec
ord for reduction In the interest rates
on loans made on these certificates,
which resolution will be carried to the
national convention.
In accordance with the program out
lined by our Department Rehabilitation
Committee and the mandates of our
convention, 1t is my belief that the eff
forts of the American Legion during the
coming year should be directed along
the lines of correcting our present legis-
lation to the point of greater efficiency,
and in making our present legislation
more liberal and far-reaching This, of
course, only applies to legislation Affect
ing disabled men and their dependents.
I'VE can never repay the men who
carry the wounds Of war Neither can
We repay their dependents, who carry
part of the burden or load. The Amer
lean Legion, therefore, in urging more
far-reaching legislation for this class
of favored veterans, Is only carrying out
its obligation to these comrades and Is
not asking for charity, but demands
justice"
