Simpson Affair Puzzles British,
But Marriage Is Held Unlikely
English BelieUe King Viii Not Risk
Morganatic Alliance-Question of
Foreign Princess Debated.

It Is difficult to make any sort Of
prophecy. The devotion of the King
to Mrs. "Wally" Simpson is known to
everybody, and, be it said to the credit
of both the principals. they make no
secret of it. Wherever the King goes,
there. quite openly. goes Mrs. Simpson.
There have been morganatic mar
riages before-the courts of Europe are
full of them-but there has not been
such q marriage in England for well
over century, and it is the feeling Of
a great many people that such cere-
mony. binding no doubt in the eyes Of
the church. would be disastrous to the
Kings popularity.
There are no two opinions now about
the fact that the country does not look
kindly on the friendship of David and
Mrs. Simpson. but. at all events, people
say they are honest about it. Public

Defeating q civic stadium earlier

said he believed the city was a

There are many reasons why we
should feel proud of what we are

Such projects as this, he said, meant

TO CONFER TODAY
Plan Campaign Strategy in
Winding Up Fight on
New Deal.
By the Associated Press.


TOPEKA. Kans., October 17.-Gov.
ALI M. Landon and Col. Frank Knox
planned q campaign strategy meet
ing today before winding up their
presidential battle against the New
Deal.
The scheduled conference was the
third between the Republican presi-
dental nominee and his Chicago
running mate since their nomination
at Cleveland.
Knox headed homeward from Tulsa.
Okla, where he spoke last night, in
time to see the Kansas Governor be-
fore Landon dashed westward for q
Los Angeles address Tuesday.
On the first face-to-face meeting
between the presidential and vice pres
idential candidate only a few days
after the June convention, Landon
promised fighting" campaign. Since
then the Kansan has travelled more
than 10000 miles and his publisher
colleague still more.
Aside from the Knox conference,
Landon planned to spend his time in
the executive mansion, working On
speeches for the final campaign drive.
He will start it Sunday night, moving
across the Rockies, and then Will
swing all the way across the Con-
tinent before returning to Topeka two
weeks later.
Plan to See Game Scrapped.
Earlier plans to attend the Kansas
Oklahoma foot ball game at Lawrence
were scrapped as Landon's battle with
President Roosevelt for the White
House drew toward a close. A two
week travel program lay ahead to
the Pacific Coast, thence cutting
through to New York for Madison
Square Garden appearance before the
ballots are cast November 3.
At least half a dozen speeches were
set definitely. Where or If Landor
would deliver three reported virtually
drafted addresses-one on the Con
stitution," another termed "broker
promises" and q third civil service
was left by his aides to later de.
cision.

Present plans call for speeches al
Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Indian
apolis Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, New
York City and st. Louis before re-
turning home Sunday, November /.
Last night at Tulsa, Knox said al
one point:
Political hypocrisy reached its
lowest point in Chicago Wednesday
when the President came out for free
enterprise. two weeks before election
after q three-year record Of relentless
and savage assaults on business men

business and on production in defiance

PARIS, October 17-Refusal to
participate in an air raid "rehear-
sal" brought 458 persons to court to-
day to answer charges Of failing to
extinguish lights.
They were arrested last night dur
ing an imaginary air raid on the
capital. The alarm was sounded at
9:20 pm, and 10 minutes later sirens
announced the enemy" had been
/ sighted.
A sudden sweep of planes in the
dark sky, where an imaginary aerial
duel was fought, ended in the drop
ping of deadly" gas bomb near the
Pantheon, in the heart of the Latin
quarter.
Five persons received theoretical
wounds. Ambulances and nurses were
ready at stipulated stations through
out the city and the wounded" were
quickly carried of to relief posts.
A second fare through the darkness
hit the Odeon quarter. Red Bengal
fire marked its downward course to
its objective and lit the way for the
hremen and ambulances.
They sped through the dark streets
from their appointed stations to aid
persons "marooned" in cellars be-
meath a burning building"
The anti-aircraft equipment, the
flares and the lights of the fire appa-
ratus and ambulances threw the
buildings into bright relief as army
officers and municipal police directed
the defense about the Odeon.
After one hour, the sirens on the
hills about Paris sounded again. The
enemy" had been dispersed. The
lights flashed on and the raid was
over.

German Citizen Questioned.
PRESS HITS FASCIST HELP.
Lord Plymouth's Non-intervention
Committee Assailed.

MOSCOW, October II R.-The
Soviet government announced off,
cially today it knew nothing about
the movements of the Norwegian
steamer Bjoernoey, reported in Oslo
to be carrying q shipment of ammu-
milton to the Spanish government from
Q Russian Baltic port.
An authoritative source, saying a
careful investigation had been con-
Quoted into the report, declared: I'VE
know nothing of where the ship was
loaded, the cargo carried or the des-
tination."
However, statements in the official
press and resolutions adopted by
workers made it emphatically clear
that If aid is not already en- route to
Madrid, such step may be close at
hand.
The keynote of hundreds Of Russian
mass meetings was this: Unless Fas-
cist aid to the insurgents ceases i'm
Ymediately, the Spanish Republic must
be given access to everything neces-
sary to win its struggle.
Newspapers close to the Kremlin
directed scathing criticism OF Lord
Plymouth, British chairman OF the
International Non-Intervention Com
nittee, particularly for his position
that the procedure rules of the group
did not permit immediate considera-
ton of a Soviet demand for virtual
Franco British blockade of Portugal
to stop Spanish arms shipments.
Both newspapers plainly contended
Lord Plymouth was playing into the
hands of Germany, Italy and Portugal
by delaying action until Madrid falls
to the Fascist armies.
Taking their cue from Dictator Jo-
seph Stalin's telegram to Spanish
Communists, which was reprinted in
big type, Russian workers continued
to clarnor for action in strangely iden-
tical resolutions which demanded that

Mrs. L. w. Churchill, wealthy West
chester widow, faced a charge today
| of trying to poison two guests at her
home. while District Attorney Walter
Ferris prepared to inquire into the
death of her husband in Florida last
January.
The guests, Mrs. Louise Reeves, a
niece of Mrs. Churchill, and her hus-
band, George Reeves, retired Indian
apolis merchant, were seriously Ill in
White Plains Hospital. Physicians
diagnosed their ailment as poisoning,
and Ferris described the sickness, re-
current through the last several
months, as mysterious"
Lee, taciturn, 36-year-old Korean,
was quoted by Ferris as admitting pur-
chases of three kinds of poison found
in the Churchill home. The butler
chauffeur contended the poison was
used to kill squirrels infesting the
Churchill corn field, Ferris said, and
asserted that the Reeves must have
taken some of it by mistake.
Poison Near Dentifrice.
The poison and mixture of salt and
soda used by the couple as dentifrice
we're kept in similar containers side

Lee suggested this disposal.
Will Is Quoted.
Ferris quoted the prisoner as saying
Mrs. Churchill told him he would be
remembered" in her will and police
also ascribed to the servant a state
ment that he resented the presence OF
Reeves and his wife in the home.
Lee, who has been in the United
States since 1913, had been in the
Churchill employ for eight years. He
was formally arraigned yesterday on
charge of assault with intent to kill
and was held under 5000 bail.

BRUSSELS, October 1.-THE news

it had learned authoritatively that
Belgium did not intend to give up its
military accords with France, its duties
under the League of Nations Coven-
ant or its adherence to principles OF

Of 100000, 900 to complete the mod

Last Wednesdays speech of King
Leopold to the cabinet, the news
paper stated, was unanimously ap-
proved by the ministers.
Furthermore, Independence said,
the Kings declaration that 1--WE must
aim resolutely at placing ourselves
outside the conflict Of our neighbcrs'
must be regarded as a statement Of
principles, rather than an out-and-out
declaration of neutrality.
The necessity for Strengthening
Belgiums defenses was pointed out in
King Leopold's speech. and will be

At first the Kings speech was in

withdrawal from the Franco-Belgian
military pact of 1920, one of the key
stones Of defense policy. as well as a
denunciation of League Covenant and
European security ties under Locarno.
However, Independence asserted the
