 Gall raised her glass, and as her gaze met Derek's above the rim of the glass she felt strangely thrilled. Something told her New York would never be a lonely place for her again.

News Service)

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Mrs. Wallis
Warfield Simpson is contemplat-
ing a visit in the near future to
Kitzbuhl, Austria, it was learned
today.
Mrs. Simpson was guest at
Kitzbuhl two years ago, as a mem
ber of a distinguished party which
occupied all the floors of the re-
sorts leading hotel. King Edward
joined the party before the stay
was over, and spent a great deal
of time in sightseeing the Austrian
Alps in the company of Mrs.
Simpson.
Mrs. Simpson altered earlier
plans for visits to Bermuda or the
Riviera owing chiefly to wide
spread publicity accorded her in
tuntionS, but she believes the
Austrian Tyrol is sufficiently
isolated for her to escape the lime
light. The report of Mrs. Simp-
sons plans states King Edward
might follow her to Austria at
some later date. She intends to
make the trip in January.
Close friends of Mrs. Simpson
said today she is becoming in
creasingly distressed by the pub
licity attending her romance with
the King.
Her distress, close friends said,
is caused chiefly by King Edwards
reaction to widespread publicity
of their activities, fearing he might
be upset by the world interest
aroused by their romance.
The King, it was learned, dined
at Buckingham Palace last night
and was later joined by Mrs.
Simpson, to whom he presented
a gift of a quantity of priceless
linen and glassware from the
palace store for her household
use.

over the exclusion of 80 States
from job insurance benefits be-
cause these States have not
enacted unemployment compen-

some opposition may be encoun-
tered over the current voluntary"

the Social Security Board sped
its forces today to prepare pos
sible recommendations for amend
ments to the act that will likely
be submitted to Congress early
in January.
At the same time, it was re-
Vealed that the budget estimates
for administration of the security
act provide for the employment
of $500 persons during the next
fiscal year. About two-thirds of
thai number will be employed in
the District.
Against Delay
All of those to be employed (the
boards employees now number
about $4,000 will come from the
eligible registers of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, with the excep-
tion of few qualified experts and
a legal staff.
Meeting newspapermen for the
first conference since the incep.
ton of the board, Chairman John
G. Winant late yesterday declared
that he will not recommend to
Congress an amendment to the

Ap- proxlmately 16,000 of Chicopee's 45,- 900 residents had been driven from their homes. Northampton still was without light or power. Eleven other Connecticut river valley twons were in the same condition.
 New areas of northeast Massachu- sets and of Maine were covered by raging rivers today, adding to the tool of dead, suffering, and property damage.
 Ohio River Valley
 The Ohio flood crest was in the streets of Pomeroy, Gallipolis and Ironton in Ohio and was approach ing Point Pleasant and Huntington, w. Va. Behind the crest the flood waters that had inundated Marietta, O., Wheeling, w. Va, and a wide section of both states were receding rapidly. Ahead of the crest, all towns and cities prepared for enler- gency.
 Pennsylvania
 All rivers had receded and the flood emergency in all sections had passed, but emergencies fully as grave confronted many communities.
 Pittsburgh still was without elec- tric power and a water famine threatened. The same conditions ap- piled for Pittsburgh environs in Allegheny county.
 JohnstoWn, too, was without elec- trio power and it had no water. Its business district was buried deep in mud and debris.
 Many Pennsylvania communities received water in gasoline tank trucks. Medical supplies were rush. ed to them to prevent epidemic.

The ground floor of the Water Street Fire Station, which houses the system, was un- der seven feet of water. Water ranging in depth from seven to nine feet covered the entire business dis trict. as the Merrimack neared it's crest. At 8 @. m., the river was 50 feet above normal. Indications were that the river would not rise any higher unless heavy rains fell. The 30-foot mark was a new all- time peak.

 Commissioner Lynch says that he examined the scene of the accident and found that 1t was practical impossibility for Chupek to have fallen accidentally from the foot bridge. The bridge, he says, has a railing 37 inches high, with a width of two inches at the top. There are no openings in the railing for any one to fall through, says the com missioner.
 Fingerprints Revealed
 On a steam pipe, six inches in diameter, extending along the outer and lower portion of the guard rail, fingerprints were found which ,indi- cated that Chupek had suspended himself from there by his hands.
 Chupek, according to the decision told a fellow workman before he died that he had fallen i'll wher on the bridge and fallen of. The claim that he was i'll was also ad. vanced by his wife, but was not supported by an autopsy made after his death, and also, states the com missioner, Chupek could not have fallen from the bridge through any accident. Another claim, that he waf on the his way to the factory hos pital for treatment, was rejected on the grounds that there was no need for his crossing the footbridge to get to the hospital.
 Commissioner Lynch holds that the company is not responsible for Chupek's death.

 The river was expected to rise an- other foto in Pomeroy before reach- ing it's peak. Already a railroad baggage station and several small buildings have been washed away. One road leading out of Pomeroy to the north still was open.
 "The 500 families in Meigs county who have been driven from their homes by the flood are being well cared for" the Pomeroy police de- partment reported.
 One Hazard Gone
 A few miles down the river Is Point Pleasant, where the Kanawha river flows into the Ohio. The Kan- awha has been falling steadily for 24 hours, removing what might have been a still more hazardous condi- ton at this point.
 Most of Point Pleasant has been under water for two days. Two hundred of the little towns resi- dents moved back into the hills to National Guard camp to wait for the water to go down. Not one per- son was injured and there was no suffering.
 A few miles farther toward Hunt ington is Qallipolis. . little town widely known for some of it's famous sons. Gallipolis. except for a few acres of bottoms land. will not be affected by the flood. Damage is expected to be small.
 A government dam near 0alli- polls was completely under water and some of its machinery was re- ported damaged.
