FEAR WINDSORS
SEEK SECLUSION
Housing Study to Take
Up Time, Is Thought
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

(I.N.S0. A royal welcome was
being prepared today for the
forthcoming visit to the United
States Of the worlds most ro-
mantle couple, the Duke Of Wind
sor and his American bride for
whom he gave up a throne.
Not since Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh's return after his historic
flight from New York to Paris has
an event so electrified popular
imagination.
SOCIETY AFLUTTER
The Duke of Windsor's an
nouncement in Paris Of his inten-
ton Of bringing his bride, the
former Baltimore belle, Wallis
Warfield, here has thrown Wash
ington's exclusive diplomatic So
ciety, as well as official circles,
into q flutter of excitement.
The royal couple are expected
here by Thanksgiving. Their ar
rival will signalize launching Of
one Of the gayest social seasons
the Nations Capital has ever
seen.
Many a social matron'S brow
was wrinkled today for fear Brit
aims former monarch might in
sist on extreme privacy enshroud-
ing his visit and concentrate his
attention on the study Of slum
clearance and low-cost housing
problems.
HOPE FOR BEST
In any event, social leaders
were hoping for the best and set
ting plans into motion to lionize
the couple.
Word of the visit Immediately
started an intense rivalry among
social leaders in Washington, Bal
timore and the highly exclusive
hunt set Of Virginia and Mary
land for the privilege of being
host to the couple.
This extended even into official
circles. Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins said she would
offer the Duke every facility Of
her department in his proposed
study Of labor conditions, but
Secretary Of Interior Ickes was
just as eager to monopolize the
royal visitor with an exposition
of his Slum clearance projects
and the Resettlement Administra-
ton is convinced it has some
thing to attract attention in its
low-cost housing developments.
BALTIMORE'S CLAIM
Baltimore, because the Duchess
was born there, feels it has a par
ticular claim on the couple. Re-
ports persisted Edward and his
bride will take an estate in the
exclusive Green Spring Valley
section near the Maryland city.
Gen. Henry M. Warfield, the
Duchess uncle, said he would in
vite them to visit him at his
home near Timonium, Md.

TURN SLEUTHS IN
CIRCLE KILLINGS
Youngsters Seek Clues
To Couples Death
BY DOROTHY KILGALLEN


NEW YORK, Oct. 5 U.N.S0.
Young friends of Frances Hajek
and Louis Weiss turned amateur
detectives today to help solve the
crime of the scarlet circles.
Sorrowful and puzzled, they con-
ferred in twos and threes, trying
to reconstruct the murder in the
lovers lane, using as clues their
intimate knowledge Of the slain
boy and girl. They have con-
cluded the murderer was known,
at least slightly, to the sweet
hearts.
"a CAUTIOUS FELLOW"
Louis was a cautious fellow"
they insist. HE never would
have let a stranger into his car"
They are sure Louis never will
ingly drove his car into that lonely
road. They recall:
HE was so fusSy about that
car, he wouldn't risk scratching
it by driving through those
brambles and bushes.
FORCED TO GO TO WOODS
Louis didn't park and pet"
said Herbert Beach, the dead
boys best friend. "You can bet
on that. He never drove that
car into the woods willingly. He
was forced to do it. We were
both brought up in Queens and
we both know all about the 3-X
murders. Louis had too much
sense to take a girl into woods
where there might be tramps or
Stick-up men"
It was Herbert with whom
Louis went to a football game at
the Polo Grounds Saturday, less
than II hours before he was
slain and marked with the sign
of the scarlet o. Out of his SIS
allowance, young Weiss paid
Herbert $1.3O for his ticket to the
game, 80 cents for the lunch they
had shared in town and IS cents
for cigars.
HE never had much money"
the youth declared. Neither
did I. That's why it's ridicu-
lous to say Louis and Frances
were engaged. Why, he didn't
have enough money to think of
getting married. And only last
week we were kidding about
how lucky we were to be bache-
lors."
