Steel Chief Asserts U. S.
Can Lead World Recovery.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 25.-James A
Farrell, president of the United
States Steel Corporation and chair
man of the national foreign trade
council, believes trade activity def
nitely is on the increase, while
Gerard Swope, head of the General
Electric Company, has put forward
a plan to avert unemployment ir
times of depression.
The United States possesses the
power to lead the world in trade
recovery, Farrell told nationwide
radio audience Sunday night. This
power, to be effective, he said, must
be directed to the solution of the
domestic depression, which would
aid the entire world.
Swope expressed the belief over
a radio network that each industry
should defray the entire cost of its
product, including the cost of as
surfing regular employment in times
Of economic depression.
He declared the sterilization OF
employment was better than at
tempts by private and public char
tiles to aid suffering unemployed.

RAILWAYS DRAFT RATE HIKE PLEA
CAROL RULES
HELENE OUT OF
ROYAL FAMILY
Orders Military Command.
erS to Treat Princess as
Private Citizen.

By United Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary, May Is
Helene, princess of Greece and dt-
vorced wife of King Carol of Ru-
mania, has been ruled out from the
royal family, the Rumanian news
paper Patria, organ of the National
peasant party, said.
In banner headlines the Patria
published a report that military
commanders had been ordered to
treat Helene, whom Carol only last
year proclaimed his queen, as q pr1-
vate person in future.
She will receive none OF the
honors accorded only members of
the royal family, the dispatch said.
The Patria said Premier Nicholas
Jorga of Ruinania had urged Carol
to take this action.
The report followed months Of eff
fort to effect a reconciliation be-
tween Helene and King Carol.
Carol flew back to Bucharest last
June and seized the throne. He
named Helene his queen, despite the
fact they were divorced, and made
efforts to get the divorce annulled.
Helene, however, could not forgive
Carol for deserving her and their
son, 9-year -old Crown Prince
Michael, for Nine. Magda Lupescu,
red-haired wife of a Rumanian
army officer, with whom Carol went
to France.
Helene waited two years and then
divorced him. She has renamed in
Rumania since Carols return chiefly,
it appears, to be with their son,
the former boy-king whom Carol
replaced when he came back to
claim the throne last summer.
