 London, May 13-(UP)-The re- strictions which the Duke of Wind- sor abandoned his throne to escape are closing tightly about him, 1t was understood today. Not only has the government declined to provide for him from public funds, not only does it oppose the attendance of members of the royal family at his wedding to Mrs. Wallis Warfield but now it has moved definitely ii delicately-to restrict the places where he may reside in the future, according to reports. He has been informed, it was understood, that it is not desirable that he marry, or reside thereafter, in Austria or elsewhere in Central Europe be- cause the entire area is regarded as a potential danger spot.
 France apparently was approved. But in France if the Duke wants religious wedding, he is faced by the problem of finding Protestant clergyman willing to marry a dlvor- cee-Mrs. Warf1eld, her new legal name. It is expected that the dukes wedding day will be made public some time next week, in the form of an announcement in the official Court Circular" which records ac- tivities of the royal family. By that time, the place and form Of the ceremony are to be decided.

 It developed upon investigation today that the bill as passed in both houses does not call for the enlarg-, ed city board until next January when the city's newly elected mayor will take office.
 This is regarded as an important development, but Mayor Hayes when 1t was pointed out to him today as he was presiding lover the senate said that he did not care particu- larly who appointed the new mem- berS of the board, so long as both parties in Waterbury were satisfied At present the board is composed of nine members, six of whom are appointed by the mayor. The other three consist of the mayor, control Ter, and the president of the board of aldermen.

 With him were his Scots queen, Elizabeth, who smiled her encour- agement at him yesterday and their two princess daughters, endeared to all who had seen them-Elizabeth, II, in all probability the next sov- ereign, already imperious, and mis- chievous Margaret Rose, 6.

 Police were reported to have dis covered 8 large, secret cache Of explosives in the neighborhood.
 The explosion which shattered the statue of the ancestor of Great Britain's newly-crowned klng-ein- peror, occurred during the busy morning rush hour.
 Buildings in the center of Dublin shook and the ground trembled. window paiaes for blocks around tinkled to the ground.
 The statute was blown up, it was believed, as a reprisal for the gov- ernment,s action yesterday in bann- ing demonstration by the Irish republican army.

Recovery Formula.

The great majority of the country's
leading economists, industrialists finan-
c1ers and business men do not believe the
present business recession contains the
elements that produced the depression
OF 1929-l932. This is an encouraging
prophecy, but it is accompanied by the
significant warning that business condi-
tions are not apt to improve unless there
is fundamental alteration of the policies
Of the present administration.
These findings are the result of poll
Of nearly 1000 members of the American
Economic Association by the Christian
Science Monitor. Somewhat similar were
the results of a survey by the Associated
Press of the opinions of twelve prominent
economists. 1t is clear that these men,
presumably representing all shades Of
political faiths, believe the current busi-
ness troubles had their origin during the
administrations of President Roosevelt,
not during that of his predecessor, and
that in large measure the blame must be
placed on policies advocated by the
President.
The men polled are by no means unani-
nous in their opinions as to the best
methods to be followed in reversing
present trends, but the returns showed a
preponderant judgment in favor of four
steps to be taken promptly. These were
abolishment of the tax on undistributed
profits, revision or abolition of the tax
on capital gains, the withdrawal of gov
ernment as competitor Of private busi-
ness, and the bolstering Of public conf
