How to Relax

BOSTON, Jan. 2. - Philosophers
from time of Plato and Aristotle
have been contemplating, ponder
ing and eXpostulating on the prob
lem of whittier we are going, is
there a purpose in this thing called
life, and is there a hereafter.
But if there is a spiritual heaven
on earth, members OF the newly
organized Wine and Food Society
of Boston found it when they at
tended their first wine tasting
meeting.
Eighteen cases of the finest wines
obtainable we're on hand and sip
ped gratis for the asking. There
were ten different kinds.
After the first sip of something
like Chateau Latour, vintage Of
929, rolled around in the mouth tc
bring out the complexities of the
flavor, whittier we are going was
unimportant.
Then, after second sip, perhaps
of Chateau Mouton Rothschild
with a deep breath at the end tt
absorb the delicate aroma, purpose
in life mattered less.
And after a taste of Chateau
Paveil, Chateau Climens, Chateau
De Suduiraut, Chateau Margaux

now the Supreme Court says there
is virtually no limit to the discre-
tionary powers that can be imposed
upon the President in his foreign
negotiations.

to the very considerable bloc in

WASHINGTON SURPRISED

Unofficial Washington expressed
some surprise at one statement by
Secretary Wallace at Pasadena.
Il do not propose to outline to-
day just what new measures should
be adopted if and when SURPRISES
again begin to pile up he said.
Il believe the situation as it de-
velops will point the way to the
necessary action"
If that implied the problem OF
SURPRISES should be passed over
until the surpluses appear, 1t would
be a sharp departure from Wal
lace's previous program of regu-
lated production.

 Paris, November 5.--(UP) - The Duke of Windsor has decided definitely and fin ally to make his visit to the United States despite news paper comment that had caused some anxiety, an of- ficial spokesman said today. It was understood that the Duke reached his decision after several telephon' calls between members of his entourage and rep- resentatives in New York. The Duke and Duchess spent the morning packing the last of their trunks she the frocks and furs which she has spent weeks in preparing for her return to her native country; he the smart haberdashery and new suits that replace the Tyrolean hats and leather shorts. to which he was partial in the early days of his honeymoon.

New York, Nov. 5.--(UP) .--The long battle over the $70000,000 es- tate of the late Colonel Edward H. R. Green, eccentric son of the fa- nous woman financier, Hetty Green, ended today. Surrogate Harry E. owen of Essex county awarded the bulk to Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks' q sister, and announced that she had agreed to set Up @ fund of $500.- 900 for Greens widow, Mrs. Mabel Harlow Green. Owen rejected Mrs Greens contention that 6 pre-nup- tial agreement waiving her rights to dover interest in the fortune had been procured through fraud, and ordered the vii admitted to probate.
 The surrogate announced that the litigation, which began shortly after Greens death at Lake Placid, N. r., in June, i936, had ended and that papers had been executed acknowl- edging Mrs. Wilks' right to the es- tate. The decision followed series of hearings in New York, Florida and Texas. Mrs. Green contended that the pre-nuptial agreement, uri- der which she was to receive $lS,. 900 yearly for life, was entered into

Duke, Duchess To Pay Visit Despite Furore
Criticism of Labor in U. s. May Force Some Raai-
 cal Moves

London, November 5. - (UP) - The Duke of Wind- sor is likely to alter radically the nature of his United States visit because of criti- cisms by American labor in- terests and newspapers, sources close to Buckingham Palace said today. It was likely, these sources said, that the visit would incline more toward the social side and that the Duke would cut out much of the part he intended to de. vote to industrial conditions as part of his campaign to better the lot of the working classes.
 There was no surprise here at the Dukes decision to make the visit despite the criticism, because 1t was said he could hardly have abandoned 1t with dignity at the last hour.
 The periodic headaches which have troubled official and court cir- cles ever since the Duke announced that he preferred the then Mrs Wallis Simpson to his leadership of the British people, took e new turn for the worse.
 When 1t was made known that the Duke and the former Mrs. simpson. now his Duchess, would go to the United States to study conditions among the working classes, there was some nlisgiving, Later 1t was agreed that the visit
