and $4,000 from her grandmothers

She was 81 years old then, which

IF an income taxpayer or any cor
poration kept books like this admin
istration-that is, if they showed
similar morals in juggling their ac-
counts, they would be put in jail"

bookkeeping and intellectual dishon-
esty" to conceal budget deficits which
make new taxes "as inevitable as

In the Pittsburgh speech two
weeks ago the President develops the
idea of a base ball scoreboard and
sets certain figures upon it for the

stance, he said that the last Repub-
lican administration had increased
the national debt by over $4,000, ,000,-
600. He admitted that he had al
ready increased it by $4,000, 900, 900.
But he claims deduction Of S6,500,-
600 900 from his increase because OF
the bonus and for recoverable loans.
Any umpire would call that state
ment out on three strikes, of which
one was a foul.
Strike one-he deducts the pres
ent recoverable loans from his debt.
But he misses the opportunity to be
intellectually honest and likewise de-
duct from the last Republican ad-
ministration over $4,000, 100000 of
recoverable loans. Second, no
publication Of the United States Gov
ernment warrants Mr.. Roosevelt's
valuation of $4,000, 900, 900 on recov-
erable assets. - The third strike
is that the debt for veterans was not

double bookkeeping, Mr.. Hoover said,

expenditures on one side were sepa-

"Such double bookkeeping never has
been used for honest purposes by
governments. Its very motive is in
tellectual dishonesty. That is per-
nicious deceit"
Through such Juggling" Mr..
Hoover stated, "the Republican reg

love with a little girl who is the very
type of German backfisch. Beside the
sparkling, streamlined, chromium
plated smartness of Mrs. Simpson, the
little Brunswick princess would look
a mere country maid. Mrs. Simpson
would have nothing to fear from such
child, even if she were to marry
the King.
There has been some talk Of ro-

temperance report presented TO the
Virginia Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.
The report charged the alcoholic
beverage control system with laxity In
not promoting temperance" and
urged tightened regulations for lie
censees and the employment Of State
liquor profits for education against the
use Of alcohol.
A committee was named in the re-
port to initiate plans for an organi-

The report said 1t believed "the tins

New Deal party, have any idea that

opinion would not accept quite so
calmly a marriage between the two,
with the possibility of children. This
would lead to endless complications,
because the law of England is such
that it is quite in the cards that chill
dren of such a marriage might be in
the direct line of succession to the
throne. The royal marriage act says
that no marriage of member Of the
royal family shall be legal unless pre-
viously sanctioned by the monarch. II
the monarch cannot sanction his own
marriage. whose can he do that to? AS
the old saying goes, THE King can do
no wrong"
No Marriage Likely.
1t may be definitely said that such a
marriage is not likely to take place.
Now the question of foreign prin-
cess arises. Some time ago Princess
Ingrid of Sweden, now crown princess
of Denmark, was being trotted around,
and many persons in the west end of
London thought she would make a
match with David. David was not
quite so engrossed in Mrs. Simpson in
those days. It was the time when his
friendship for Thelma Furness was
waning, and people thought that, with
the pressure of Queen Mary to help,
Ingrid might well become Queen of
England. Whatever people may say,
Queen Mary has big influence on her
son, who loves her and respects her
and never allows an opportunity to
pass without displaying his devotion
for her.
The King might well have agreed to
marry Ingrid. Ingrid, however, wasn't
being taken in quite so easily. 1t is
said, on good authority, that, when the
plan was put to her, she said she was
quite willing to marry the King, who
was then Prince of Wales, but, If she
did. she was not going to tolerate any
of his little friends about the court.
In other words, she was prepared to
marry David, but not to marry merely
a share in him. So that match fell
through.
Kaiser's Granddaughter Mentioned.
Then gossip got busy with one OF
the granddaughters of the ex-Kaiser,
whose daughter, now Duchess of
Brunswick, was the fairy prinzesschen
of quarter of a century ago who
stirred many an honest. heart beating
beneath a Prussian officers tunic.
This grandchild-she Is barely 20-is
pretty in an ungroomed, unmade-up
sort of way, and was brought over to-
England once or twice after the King
assembled the throne. She is a great
friend of the Jellicoe children, the
son and daughters of the late Admiral
Earl Jellicoe,. who led the British
fleet at Jutland.
She went about in London society,
and there was some talk about her
making friends with Mrs. Simpson,
but there wasn't very much in it. She
went to the palace, too, and no doubt
the King gave her the once-over, but
unless he Is attracted by opposites-

By the Associated Press.
Dan Wallace of Minnesota, an uncle
Of Secretary Wallace. said last night
methods of the former A. A. A. and
the present soil conservation program
Of the administration "raise both
doubt and fear" in his mind. He said
he would vote for Gov. Landon.
In radio interview with William
Hard. commentator for the Republi-
can National Committee, Wallace said
the spirit of the outlawed A. A. A.
lives on in the current program and
the New Deal purpose "is to resume
controlling the output of our farms"
II do not want to see American
agriculture turned into a political ma
chine dedicated to one party" he
said. Still less do I want to see it
turned into a political machine dedi-

Representative Merritt, in Olen,

into the report, adding his secretary
might have seen some available stun
and picked it up to send out under
my frank just as we send out farm
books and other matter"
There was no comment last night
from the other Democrats men,
toned, or from Smell.
The cards being sent out from the
Senate Office Building bore quota
tions attributed to Gov. All M. Lam
don, Republican presidential NOM
inee, and some were addressed to
"box holder, local" This, 1t was ex-
planned, would permit postmasters to
place the cards in every private mail
box and deliver them also on rural
mail routes.
The cards bore notations that they
were mot printed at Government ex-

as excerpts from the Congressional
Record, which permits their being

that the town was richer by one very
fetching lady. Dinner and dance in
vitations flowed to the hotel. After
all, the stranger was a Montague of
Virginia, on her mothers side, and
Warfield of Maryland, on her fathers
side. And ancestral lines mean every
thing here where the horse loving
gentry of the South has collected to
hunt for generations.
They All Liked Her.,
Mrs. Simpson seems to have lived
up to her promise. She was here two

approval with, wallis was such a

From the bootblack at the hotel to
the dowagers of Virginia estates, the
first reaction to Mrs. Simpsons name
is always, "She was so charming and
witty-She had personality"
But try to make them concrete.
They can't put her charm into words.
She had an indefinable way. of warm
ing the heart and bringing a laugh.
She was witty, but she didn't tell the
current funny story. She was charm
ing, but she wasn't sugary f1atterer
She had more beaus that she could
wish. But one cocktail was her limit,
and she liked to get home at q dis

town.
She didn't dress elaborately. She
wore tailored clothes. Her formal
dresses were simple things, and she,
avoided flowers and jewelry. She had

bright smile. She had the typical low
voice of the well-bred Southerner
She seemed very much alive.

Her most faithful escort OF those
two years was Hugh A. Splllman,
handsome, blond, curly-haired banker,
who had known her in childhood
when they both attended private
schools in Baltimore. He is still a
bachelor who has desk drawer where
he keeps all the pictures that are
being published of her.
He grins engagingly, and like the
gallant Southerner says:

But Wallis Warfield had begun to

New York several times during her
stay at Warrenton to see him, her
friends say. They begged her to bring
him down, but she refused.
Her divorce from Spencer was
quietly handled by State Senator Au-
brey Weaver of Front Royal. Va, who
is a friend of her family. The testl-

wore black. double-peaked hat from
which flowed short veil.
