LONDON VETO SENTENCES
EX-KING TO LONG SOJOURN
APART FROM MRS, SIMPSON
Windsor Cancels Plan to
Rent Villa on French
Riviera
Bv FREDERICK KUN
Copyright, 1887, United Prcss)

LONDON, Feb. IS (UP).-Thc
government bluntly has vetoed the
Duke of Windsor's plan to rent n
luxurious villa at Cap D'Antibes
on the French Riviera, so he could
be near Mrs. Wallis Warfeld
Simpson, it was learned reliably
today.
King George vi himself report
edly wrecked Edwards plan in a
telephone conversation with his
brother a few days ago, when the
self-exiled former ruler was con-
GLIDING negotiations for renting
the villa.
Cap D'Antibes is peninsula
between the bays of Juan and
Nice whose extremity is about
four miles south of the city OF
Antilles. An hotel and colony OF
villas are on the cap.
Edward planned to rent the
villa at the exclusive Cap DAN
tibes from a wealthy U. S. citizen
who later became a British sub
iect, it was learned. His name was
not revealed.
The former British monarch,
who abdicated his throne for "the
woman love-" repeatedly planned
to live there before his marriage
to the former Baltimore beauty,
and perhaps to remain there for
q honeymoon.
The government threatened to
tie up Edwards entire financial
future should he carry out his
plan, according to the United
Press informant. The Labor party
already is on record as opposed
to granting the Duke a financial
income from the civil list, and II
he did not abandon the plan, the
growing opposition in parliament
would be virtually unsurmount-
able. :,
1t also was learned that Edward
had been warned not to move
from his present retreat at the
Baron de Rothschild castle at
Enzesfeld, Austria, to either Italy
or Germany.
AS result of the governments
intervention Edward last week In
formed the owner Of the Riviera
villa that he will be unable to rent
the property and must drop all
rental negotiations.
Reports reaching their London
friends said both the Duke and
Mrs. Simpson were keenly disap-
pointed over the outcome. They
said it appeared the Duke was

This canvass follows an extern
sive campaign to educate the gen.
eral public as to the value and
neeQ OF scouting.
During last week when the 9th
anniversary of the Boy Scout Or
ganization was celebrated many
radio programs were dedicated to
scouting. Through the courtesy OF
n. C.. Foster, three outdoor prost-
ers were placed on sign boards at
the court house, on the Citizens
Bank building, and at Seventh
avenue and Main street.
Several hundred circular letters
signed by Mayor Edwards. ex.
planning the value and need OF
scouting were delivered SATURDAY,
by the Scouts to the homes and
business houses Of the city.
Of the $1,250 goal, 5000 is Tor
the regular budget of expenses
and $3.50 is to pay for the three
troop cabins at the Scout center.
This expense of the cabins Is
an extraordinary expense ana
many will be called upon to SUBJ
scribe an extra amount this year.
The organization of new troops
at Green River, Fletcher, East
Flat Rock and Blue Ridge School
during the past year, and the or
ganization of a new troop at Bal
four soon will also increase the
expenses during the current year.

THREE MAJOR
BILLS Up TO

All damned Through the
House in Record for

Bv CHILES COLEMAN

RALEIGH, Feb. 15.-(UP)-
North Cardinals fifty state sena-
tors today took over from the low
er house the major burden of i'm
portant legislation in the form of
the revenue, appropriations and
liquor bills.
All three measures were JAM
med through the junior chamber
by an administration steamroller
that with one exception smother
ed every outbreak Of opposition
and set an all-time record for
speedy action on big-time legisla-
ton.
The revenue and appropriation
bills were passed in a breath-tak-
ing midnight session at the end of
the fifth full week of the 1887 as
sembly-nearly a month and a
half earlier than in l935--and
showed across the rotunda Of the
capitol into the hands of the more
complacent senate on the heels OF
a local option liquor measure pass
ed earlier in the week.

Seven Georgians Perish
When Crash Bursts
Gasoline Tank

LAKE CITY, Fla, Feb. Is
(UP)-Seven Georgians, en- route
to Miami for a winter visit, were
burned to death Sunday when a
burst gasoline tank spread its
flaming contents into their car af-
ter a wreck.
The dead burned almost be-
yond recognition, were identified
as: Herbert Clarence May, 80;
Mrs. Flora May, %, his wife;
Margaret May, 10, a daughter;
William May, 6. a son; Mrs.
Maude Flowers, 80; Jimmy Flow
ers, 6, a son; Tommie Flowers, a,
q son.
The entire party, all of whom
lived near Moultrie, Ca, were
trapped in the car and burned
horribly. :,
Authorities said the accident
occurred four miles south of here
when the car, apparently driven
bv May, crashed into the rear of
a vegetable truck. Trudy Howard,
a negro of Bunnell, Fla, driving
the truck, escaped with minor in
juries.
Although the truck was not So
riously damaged, the May car was
badly wrecked.
Apparently, according to Off
GERS the impact smashed the gas
oline tank of their machine, To-
Gated in front Of the drivers seat.
It's contents were spilled into the
interior of the car and in an in

VIOLENT FEUD AT
ANDERSON IS ENDED

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP)
John J.. Lewis returned to WASH
ington today to formulate an en-
larged bargaining program for his
cmbattled Committee for Indus
trial Organization, heartened by
what he considered q victory in
the General Motors strike. The
militant Go leader planned to
confer Immediately with his lieu
tenants on drives for industrial
unionization of the steel and coal
industries.
The burlv labor leader will pre-
side at a "policy meeting Of his

claims a membership Of 100000,

Confident that an agreement
signed last week with the United
Automobile Workers by the ST.

poration meant collective bar

country, Lewis nevertheless look
cd upon the automotive strike as

"The main reserves Of both

he said.
He predicted union recognition
would come next in the $4,000

ference gave warning that his
young but powerful CIO was
ready for strike if necessary.
A joint strike in coal and steel
is a current prediction, with Lew
is rushing organization in the
great steel mills in time to strike
while new contracts are being
considered in coal.
In preliminary iousting, Lewis
has announced that he will de-
mand reduction of the work week
in bituminous mines from 80 to
80 hours, with no decrease in pay,
and operators have countered by
insisting on an increase to 40
hours at the current wage scale.
These demands have been consid-
cred largely as trial balloons to
form the basis for bargaining at
the New York conferences.
On the Michigan automobile
strike front, where all industry
was crippled by the month and
half long strike, thousands of
workers went back to their jobs

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP)
The supreme court refused today
TO intervene in the collection of
windfall taxes imposed to save 4
part of the invalidated AAA proc
GsSing taxes.
The court then recessed for two
weeks, with indications til t
March /, the next meeting day,
might bring some of the years
most important decisions. This
was indicated when the court, af-
ter brief perfunctory session.
failed to clear from the docket
any vital decisions now under
consideration.
A formal written opinion up
holding validity Of the New York
unemployment insurance lava
decision vitality important to the
New Deals social security pro-
gram-had been considered q pos
sibility today.
Observers believed the court,
center of controversy over Presi-
dent Roosevelt's judicial reorgan-
ization proposals, might also act
on the Washington state minimum
wage case which has been pend
ing for many months.
During its two weeks absence
from the bench, the court is ex-
pected to devote most of it's time
to writing opinions on the five
test cases challenging validity Of
the Wagner labor relations law
which organized labor considers
it's magma charta." The cases
were argued before the court last
week and it was believed they
were discussed at the supreme
courts secret conference Satur-
day.
DECISION VITAL
Speculation on the New York
unemployment insurance case was
based on the almost unprecedent-
ed situation surrounding it. A fl
nal decision upholding the law was
vitality important to the admins
tration, because the unemploy-
ment insurance laws Of many 9TH
er states are similar to the New
York statute.
The case was argued during alb
sence of liberal Justice Harlan +.
Stone last fall. Although lawyers
consented that he be allowed to
participate in the case without
hearing arguments, he did not
take part in the decision.
The result was that the court
was evenly divided to 4-on
validity of the law. This had the
effect of upholding constitutional
ity of the measure because the
lower court had so held.
In such situation, however,
the four-to-four decision is not

 Prosecuting authorities said that a Jewish Rabbi was present when Hirsch was notified last night that he would be executed, and that t was assumed the rabbi remained with him all night
 Notification that Hirsch would be executed today was received at the American consulate general yester- day. Consul Geist and Consul Gen. eral Douglas Jenkins went to the prison last night in hope of seeing Hirsch. American ConsuIs waited
 They waited two hours. Then prison authorities told them that Hirsch had not asked to see them. They remained available all night for a possible call. It was in ac- cordance with normal German law that the consular officials did not see Hirsch, because a visit may be arranged only ct prisoners request in such circumstances.
 The authorities told the consular men that Hirsch received news of his fate calmly and asked for cup of coffee and permission to write four letters, to his parents and others. These requests were granted, it was said.
 Reprieve Efforts Failed
 During the las week American Ambassador William E. Dodd under State Department instructions made repeated efforts to obtain reprieve for Hirsch.
 An official of Hitler,s chancellery advised Dodd on May 29 that Hitler, the sole appeal authority, would not grant clemency.
 Dodd saw Baron Constantin Von Neurath, foreign minister, May 31 and urged again that mercy be shown. He made visits to the chan celery and the foreign office later, but all his efforts were vain. Parents Are Told
 Prague, Czechoslovakia, June 4. = (UP) = Siegfried Hirsch and his wife were advised by the American consulate today that their son, Hell muth Hirsch had been executed at Berlin for treason.
 They contended that he was in- nocent.
 They had learned from their lawyer last night that the con- demned mans last plea for re- prieve was rejected.
 Czechoslovakian political police who investigated the Hirsch case were understood to have reported that Hirsch was in communication here with members of the anti-Nazi "Black Front, but that the rela- tions were not of a political nature.
