GOLD FREEZING
MAY ALTER PLANS
Reserve Board May Find
Further Credit Expansion
Curb Unnecessary.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board NAV not
have to curb credit expansion further
next month, in the light of the Treas
ury's program to "sterilize" gold i'm
ports, officials said yesterday as some
congressional critics protested against
slowing down credit expansion.
The Treasury's plan may alter the
boards intentions to exercise Its con-
troll powers early In January, officials
said.
Congressional advocates Of currency
and credit expansion continued to
criticize vigorously the gold steriliza-
tion plan, which aims to bar gold I'M
ports from becoming the basis for
added bank credit.
Representative Rankin, Democrat, Of
Mississippi issued statement saying
the Treasury policy was threatening
the country with "the grave danger Of
another depression"
He predicted that II Congress sits
supinely by" and permits it to be car
ried out, "our majorities in both
houses will be swept away just as last
as the people can get vote on them" ."
Rankin declared recent reports that
commodity prices were too high and
the country ''in a dangerous BOOM
were nothing in the world but propa-
ganda designed to prepare the public
mind for another defiation."
The Treasury policy previously had
been attacked by Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, long an ad-
vocate of currency expansion. He
called the policy unnecessary and
possibly dangerous"
Before the Treasury plan was an
nounced the Federal Reserve Board
had considered further increasing
bank reserve requirements.

Mrs. Simpson Spends Christmas Eve
Quietly.

By the Associated Press.
CANNES, France, December "a (E).
What Christmas gifts, If any, have
been exchanged by Edward, Duke of
Windsor, and Mrs. Wallis Warfield
Simpson remained a mystery last
night.
Herman Rogers Of New York, at
whose villa Lou Wei here Mrs. Simp-
son is staying, said, She won't tell
me anything about that"
He added that as far as he knew no
gift had arrived from the dukes re-
treat at Enzesfeld, Austria.
Mrs. Simpson spent a quiet Christ
mas eve, stunning the traditional gay
French celebration at the Cannes
Casino. She was expected to remain
today at the Rogers villa and to ex-
change Christmas greetings with the
Duke of Windsor by telephone.
Mrs. Simpson helped arrange the
Villas decorations of holly and mi
mosa, but there was no Christmas tree.
For Christmas dinner a fine turkey,
champagne and other wines were de-
lvered to the villa.

HITLER ANSWER AWAITED

PARIS, December Is (P,.-The key
to war or peace in Europe lay with
Chancellor Hitler's decision whether to
send 60000 German soldiers to Spain,
foreign Office officials indicated last
night.
Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos
awaited Hitler's word on the request Of
Gen. Francisco Franco to send troops
to aid the Spanish Fascists.
Delbos conveyed to the German Am
bassador the French governments
concern and hinted a French army
might go to the aid Of the Madrid
Valencia Socialist government, relia-
BILE advices said.
Foreign Office circles said they had
reports five German army divisions
were fully equipped and ready for i'm
mediate service in Spain. II the
Reichsfuehrer should command.
Officials who charged thus far had
sent only technical experts or aviators
to aid the Spanish insurgents, ad-
mitted the decision would be a difficult
one for Hitler because "if men are not
sent, Franco will probably lose the
war"

said, will 60 Germany's hopes for

The foreign Office spokesman added
that Italy, which with Germany, rec
ognized the Fascist junta Of Burgos.
''had almost completely" withdrawn
from Spain following favorable turn
In her negotiations with Britain for .

The foreign Office said France had

Christmas Eve Cheerfulness Believed
to Be Only Show.
ENZESFELD, Austria, December Is
R.-For the self-exiled Duke Of
Windsor it was not a very merry
Christmas eve.
Last night the former King Edward
VIII was alone at the chateau here
with his hosts, Baron and Baroness
De Rothschild. He mad declined an
invitation to join Dowager Queen
Marie of Rumania for Christmas.
Five Christmas trees blaZed with
lights in various rooms of the chateau.
and earlier the duke looked in at a
party at which Baroness De Rothschild
distributed gifts to 25 children whose
parents are employed on the estate.
With the children the duke seemed
cheerful enough. But other COM
panions were said to detect evidence
that his show of cheerfulness was
superficial, that he felt his separation
from the Christmas festivities of his
family at Sandringham Palace and
from Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson, for
love of whom he gave up his throne.
Cablegrams and letters, including
thousands from America. continued to
pour in on the former King, most Of
them applauding his sacrifice of his
crown for love. The duke, however,
showed little interest.

obviously stupid claim, but I cabled
her that such reports were in circu-
lation.
I'm surprised that she even bothered
to deny them. However, ! am glad
that she did.
The stories about Edwards "heavy
drinking" during the pre-abdication
crisis are not only inaccurate and un-
fair, but are actually libelous. " "
So much brandy and soda was con-
tinually taken by his majesty during
the early stages Of the crisis"
"' And it was necessary once to
apply a stomach pump ."
In Command Of Himself.
That is pure hokum. I have al
ready said that on the night I dined
with the King he refused a cocktail
and consumed merely one glass Of
Burgundy with his meal and small
liqueur afterward. Furthermore, I
was in communication with the King
several times each day during the
period covered by the heavy drink
ing" balderdash, and can state def
nitely that no man was ever more
entirely in control Of his every faculty
than the King was during that inter-
lude. He was calm, decisive and in
every respect competent and prepared
to deal with the problems he was
facing.
All of these scurrilous and lihelous
attacks on his character seem to me
the more cowardly because those who
made them know perfectly well that
the Duke of Windsor's position pre-
cludes the possibility of the ordinary
recourse to law available to any COM
mon citizen. Among the false rumors
circulating here and abroad were in
timations that both the Duke Of Wind
sor and Mrs. Simpson were disposed to
deny the authenticity of the 10 arti-
cles I have written.
To dispel any such impression, suf-
flee it to say that in response to .
cable from me on December Is asking
from Mrs. Simpson reaffrmation
of the approval I was. giveE by her
and the King prior to the prepara-
ton of these articles, I received the
following cablegran:
mot slightest hint dsapproval.
Merely upset by claims of rival news
organs"
Faith Confirmed.
The rumors persisted. Again I
asked Mrs. Simpson to correct them
and to rely on my Judgment as to
the truth and accuracy with which
was telling their story as I know 1t.
Within q few hours received this
answer:
Trusting your judgment and very
grateful your efforts"
The story Is told, and hope that
the telling of it has been interesting
as well as conducive to- q better and
truer understanding Of two very hu-
man and very 1ine people whose love
for each other and its consequences
today engrosses the world.
I wish today could conclude the
story Of this romance with the de-
sired conclusion Of oil romances:

and unsupported rumors that I cabled
Mrs. Simpson at Cannes. I asked her
if it were true that she planned to
visit the King in Austria IN the imme-
diate future. Her answer was no.
She said more than that. She said
she intended to remain at Cannes, at
the villa of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Rogers, "for several months"
I have not communicated with the
ex-King since I left London a fort
night ago. It could be possible, Of
course, that he would visit the Villa
Lou Wei. But I think we can dismiss
that possibility as unlikely in the
extreme. When Edward Of Windsor
again meets the woman he loves,
think you may be sure that she will
be a free woman, able at last to give
an answer to a proposal of marriage.

asked her if it were true.
"The answer is no." said a cable
gram in reply.
For weeks stories have been hum
ming over the cables from London
that King Edward has given Mrs.
Simpson a fabulous fortune in jewels
and that. before she left England, she
was forced to return them because
they were crown jewels.
There was the yarn that Mayfair
dowagers had recognized on Mrs.
Simpson the same royal jewelry that
King Edward VII bought for Queen
Alexandra and which she bequeathed
to Edward VIII, her favorite grand
son, with the remark it was "for your
future queen, David, dear"
Owned Attractive Jewelry.
It is true that Wallis Simpson had
collection Of attention compelling
jewels. They are attractive, many
of them, because of their rare antique
setting rather than because of their
intrinsic worth. A great many Of
these pieces are family heirlooms.
The idea that she was compelled
to return any Of Edwards gifts Is
preposterous, but to set the report to
rest forever I asked her by cable If
she had been forced prior leaving
England to return large quantity
Jewels claimed as crown property"
Her mo" was as emphatic as q
cabled word could be.
Aside from the report that the
Duke OF Windsor is about to purchase
"a vast estate" hither, thither and yon
stories have been printed that Wallis

home of a very prominent lady in
Washington and California circles,
it was the meeting place Of so
many of our most interesting peo-

by a very pleasing lady with lots
of personality, who has some
rooms available at once. These
rooms are individually different,
with quaint wood-hurning fire
places that work, and many in
teresting arrangements of unusual
