YJLE VISIT TO j. s.
By DUKE FORECAST
Bedaux Predicts Windsor
: Will Arrive After
:. Storm Is Over.
Byrthe Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. GA prediction
that the Duke of Windsor will visit
this country at Christmas time, after
the buffeting storms of controversy
have died down, was voiced tonight by
his American representative. Charles
E~Bedaux, New York engineer.
The chubby little millionaire-once
sweating 'sandhog" who mucked in
the gloom of Manhattan River tunnels
before his invention of the Bedaux
labor unit" system of production
brought him, riches-shook his head
in moody bewilderment over the turn
In his fortunes.
He raised glass brimming with
old brandy in the living room of his
luxurious suite at the Plaza Hotel and
said:
"a toast to the Duke and
Duchess :"
Then he shook his head again.
With Kaleidoscope swiftness, the
bright world Of his dreams had fallen
to pieces. 1t was all going to be so
splendid
He had acted so carefully, SO
cautiously, to safeguard the prestige
of the royal couple as advance man.
for their projected 37-day excursion
to study American labor and housing
conditions.
Couple Wed at His Chateau.
1t was in his ancient Chateau de
Cande, on the French Riviera, that
the abdicated King Edward VIII took
Wallis Warfield as his bride-and
Bedaux was delighted at the chance
to chaperon them on their American
tour.
Paradoxically. the boomerang to
his hopes proved to be himself-or
rather the Bedaux labor system
which brought him from "sandhog'
humbleness to wealthy host Of roy
atty and which American labor Or
CARNATIONS assailed as stretch
out" and "speed-up" scheme of pro-
duction aimed at sapping the mar
row out of the American working
mans backbone
AS target of rising hostility. Be
daux explained tonight, he could dc
no less than "abdicate" himself, as
Edward abdicated last December 10
from the throne of Great Britain
so that Windsor should not becoms
involved in the controversy.
SCOTS At Labor Attacks.
Bedaux scoffed at union leader at
tacks accusing him of being a Fascist
or a Nazi.
His organization, he said, had been
thrown out of both Germany and
Italy.
And still they say am a Fascist,
he laughed.
He defended his patented labor
unit" efficiency system, which brings
him revenue from 400 American fac
tories now using it, declaring:
Invariably, when labor studies
Bedaux seriously and understands
the system. it is with us"
He cited an example of factory
where his system Topped 1000 men
OF . 3,000-employe payroll. But
those 1000 workers did not lose their
jobs" he said. The factory intro
duced . cheaper article, enlarged it,
output and soon had 1000 employees. :.

PLAN PLAYGROUND
ON SCHOOL site
Park Commissioners Are
Studying Pard Road LO-
cation for Field

The possibility of a new city play
ground on the site Of the old Park
Road school was announced today
by Thomas r. Moore, secretary OF
the local board Of park commits
sioners. At the meeting Of the board
yesterday afternoon the matter was
discussed, though no definite deci-
sion was made.
The secretary stated today that no
action would be taken until the
board members had become ac-
quainted with the advlsability OF
sponsoring such q project end sew
eral other matters In connection
with the cost.
The idea OF playground on the
site Of the school which was torn
down last year was first brought to
the attention Of the board OF edu-
cation by the residents Of the West
Side hill section OF the city.
The title 10 the land is at the
present time In the hands OF the
board OF aldermen. 1t Is believed,
therefore, that the residents must
make all requests TO that body be-
fore any action can be taken by the
members Of the park board.

OF the Hamilton park pavilion was
also reported at the meeting yester-
day II was estimated that the De-
cember figures were large enough TO
