the Washington newspaper corps
learned one thing-that the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor will ar
rive in Washington November IL,
that they will leave here November
10, and that they will return here

That much was cleaned from
Charles E. Bedaux, the wealthy
friend Of the former King Of Eng
land who renowned his throne to
marry the twice divorced Wallis
Warfield Simpson, once a Balti-
more debutante.
CONFERENCE STAGED
Bedaux made those facts known
at a beautifully staged conference
for the press at the Mayflower
Hotel at cocktail time yesterday.
While the strains of an orches-
ira floated up the stairs, while
soft-footed walters passed drinks
and food, the soft-voiced Bedaux
talked at length-and said little.
"His friends"-he could not even
mention their august names, it
seems-are going to visit all parts
of the United States in tour that
may last IS days, or may even
extend to 81 days.
AVOIDS HOLLYWOOD
They are going to study Govern
ment projects, as well as those OF
private industry. They will look
into the CCC. They will study
the textile industry, the tobacco
industry, the steel industry; in
fact, Bedaux, between sips at a
highball, mentioned about every
industry except that Of motion
pictures.
Asked about that, he admitted
that no plans had been made for
the duke to study Hollywood.
Just where the duke and duchess
will stay in Washington, Bedaux
could not, or would not say.
During their stay here they
will be the guests at a luncheon
at the White House, at q dinner
