/. He would welcome legislation

$4,000,000 of it in cash.
I'VE made beautiful purchase
he told the committee yesterday, "and
we stand to make a good thing out

He made it clear, however, that his
only interest in the transa ction was
to make a comfortable profit and get
out.
In the process, the slender, somberly

model the vast properties from top to
bottom, simplifying their corporate
structure and redistributing control
to thousands of investors.

He assured the committee repeatedly
that he had no desire to hold power

disclosed, he threw up his job as
assistant treasurer of the General

Chairman Wheeler submitted a
memorandum from Young's attorney

makers were driven to the verge Of
a nervous breakdown today by
Welter Of last-minute coronation or
ders which swamped their workshops.
Some peeresses had delayed order
ing their robes until almost the zero

ans age-old prerogative, changed
their minds three or four times con-
corning details-piling up extra labor
on work rooms already jammed.
Lights burn in the sewing and en-
broidery rooms until after 10 o'clock
nightly. The crush is so great that
one firm is working its 800 girls in
two 10-hour shifts.
Peeresses are getting serious on the
coronation problem They bring
jewels to last-minute fittings in or
der to try them with their robes. They
visit coiffeurs carrying their cor
onets as casually as a basket of
peaches for coronation coif1ure dress
rehearsals. Some have decided to
avoid the early morning hair dress
ing problem by wearing wigs.
Many are ordering new handbags
to carry chocolate bars and biscuits-a
precaution against hunger during the
long hours they will have to wait dur
ing the ceremony. The bags are also
equipped with mirror at the bottom
to aid in adjusting coronets in the
Abbey.
Peers, wearing red velvet robes and
ermine caps, are giving less trouble.
They ordered early, following the die
tates in both fabric and cut to the

them Lord Derby, the beloved sporting

The great rulers and princes of the
