 But Senator Weaver saw none of the bitterness in their final deal ings.
 "The case was not contested" he says. Tt was just a matter of in compatibility. Spencer was very handsome man of medium height with black hair. He was just as popular as Wallis.

PILOT LIEN HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE,
 HUNTING WEATHER

Pilot Bert Lien of Fairbanks, hunting queer weather there for the U. s Weather Bureau, found more of it than he had wanted the other day and barely escaped from clouds which lowered suddenly and covered his airplane's wings with ice.
 Taking off when the clouds were 1900 feet above the ground, Lien climbed to 12,000 feet before he broke into clear sky and then soar- ed to 17000 feet where he regist- cred the temperature at six de- grees below zero, against ground temperature of 54 above.
 While he was up, the clouds settled to 400 feet above the earth and as he descended, ice formed on the plane. Lien, aided by a radio phone, finally darted out of the clouds 20 miles from Fairbanks and then hedge hopped" to the field.
 The flight was one of a series being made for six months to keen the Weather Bureau informed of high riding cold waves which might strike the earth farther south later.

ALASKA FISHING IS THREATENED
 JAP PANESE FLEET
Bell Says Unregulated Nip pon Operations Hurting
 Territory S Industry

SEATTLE, Oct. 28. = Fisheries Commissioner Frank T. Bell said here today that Japanese fisher men, working sampans off six big floating canneries. caught salmon outside the three mile limit in Bris- tol Bay the past summer and that their unregulated operations threat en extinction of Alaska salmon canning. Fisheries authorities re- gently made similar complaints, but the Commissioner made the first detailed account of the operations.
 Bell said Japanese cannery yes sels up to 15,00O tons, the largest carrying a crew of 600, took salmon in the open sea although ostensibly fishing for crabs. The rich Bris- tol Bay fishing area is so large at the mouth that it is under inter- national law and not under juris- diction of the United States beyond the three-mile limit.
 "Nobody knows how much salmon fishing the Japanese did but they had opportunity for studying the channels down which the salmon run the Commissioner said. Also some other ships kept lookouts in the masts, making it easy to de- termine the sections where the run is toward the coast.
 If Japanese fishing reaches the proportions it could, all regulations and restrictions the United States has imposed would go for naught Although under our present rigid control of the salmon run the ter million dollar industry can continue indefinitely.

 To replace this one loss is the assured election of Claude Pepper of Florida, 36-year-old veteran, un- opposed as Democratic nominee. In addition, Rep. Joh Lee, A, of O. lahoma, a veteran, is Democratic Senatorial nominee in that usually Democratic State.
 Other young bloods seeking Sen- ate rank include:

 Her divorce from Spencer was quietly handled by State Senator Aubrey Weaver, of Front Royal, Va. who is a friend of her family. The testimony was given through depo- sitions which are still on file at the old colonial court house.
 It seems, according to the depo- sitions that her first husband de- serted her five years before she sought a divorce, and when she sued, she asked no alimony. She testified she had "a very small in come of between $3,000 and $5,000 from her grandmother's estate.

Warrenton once worshipped at the shrine of Wallis Warfield Simpson. She was then Wallis Warfleld Spen- cer. who had come to live here in 1926 and 1927 to get divorce from her first husband, It. E. Winfield Spencer.
 She had scarcely registered for a small suite at the old, red-brick Warren Greene hotel when word went out that the town was richer by one very fetching lady. Dinner and dance invitations flowed to the hotel After all, the stranger was Montague, of Virginia on her mothers side, and a Warfield, of Maryland, on her fathers side. And ancestral lines mean everything here where the horse loving gentry of the South has collected to hunt for generations. W
 They All Liked Her t
 Mrs. Simpson seems to have lived up to her promise. She was here two years and even the gray-haired rocking -chair brigade, which can be relied upon to get out hammer and tongs, still gives Mrs. Simpson it's royal approval with. Wallis was such a dear girl.' tf
 From the bootblack at the hotel to the dowagers of Virginia estates, the first reaction to Mrs. Simp- sons name is always, She was so charming and witty-she had per- sonality"
 But try to make them concrete. TNey can't put her charm into words. She had an indefinable way of warming the heart and bringing a laugh. She was witty. but she didn't tell the current funny story. She was charming but she wasn't a sugary flatterer. She had more beaus, than she could wish. But one cocktail was her limit, and she liked to get home at discreet hour. She was the belle of the town.
 She didn't dress elaborately. She wore tailored clothes. Her formal dresses were simple things, and she avoided flowers and jewelry. She had medium figure, small foot and a bright smile. She had the typical low voice of the well-bred Southerner. She seemed very much alive.
 Banker Paid Court
 Her most faithful escort of those two years was Hugh A. Spillman. a handsome, blond, curly-haired ban ker, who had known her in child hood when they both attended pri- vate schools in Baltimore. He is still a bachelor who has desk drawer where he keeps all the pie lures that are being published of her.

IN FOR 30 MORE YEARS

Statisticians compute the average age of World War veterans at about AZ years. That puts them at an age when they begin to show up in increasing numbers in Con- gress and among the ranks of Gov- ernors.
 Civil War experience indicates that for another 30 years World War veterans will share largely in public life. President Mckinley, last of the Civil War Presidents, served past the turn of the 20th century.
 Already a cry has arisen from among. the ranks of the veterans themselves not to let their grow ing public power lead them into excessive public demands. But that is another question for the next 30 years to settle

YOUNGER BLOOD
 IS LIKELY FOR

Membership of World War Veterans Probably to
 Be Increased

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The election offers prospects that a dash of young blood will enter the Senate next session, augmenting a substantial representation already there.
 Too, it seems likely at this stage that the World War veteran mem bership also will be increased.
 Vet rans' organization officials look forward from now on to a steady increase in veteran mem bership in Congress. Civil War experience guides their estimates. There were 124 World War veterans in the House last session, which was, however, a drop from 130 in 1884.
