One of 1939's Biggest News Stories Will Be Visit Of "Two Simple People,
NO ROYAL PONP WILL ACCOMPANY GREAT BRITAIN'S PLAINL.IVING RULERS TO AMERICA NEXT SPRING
BY MILTON BRONNER

NEA Service Staff COrrespOndent)
 London, Dec. 3O.-A transatlantic trip by two simple people will give America one of its biggest news stories of 1889. And here is pre- view of what Americans will see when that event--the visit next spring of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England-occurs.
 Doubtless people in the United States wonder just what kind of folks" King George and Queen Elizabeth are, and how they will fit in with the comparative sim plicity of the White House in which they will be honored guests.
 The spectators who will line the sidewalks to see them drive by need not be like the A. E. F. doughboy whose outfit was being inspected by the late King George V.
 The doughboy asked: "Who Is the little guy in khaki?"
 His friend replied: You big chump, that's the English king."
 Exclaimed the doughboy: 'The heck he is! Where's his crown?"
 King George VI will not be bringing his crown along with him to America. Nor his robe of crim- son velvet with train, and with ermine trimmings. Nor his sceptre. He may bring along some of his uniforms as top man in the British army, navy and air force. Or he may choose, in democratic America, to appear in simple lounge suit dur ing the day and in conventional eve ming clothes at night.
 In the king, Americans will see 8 slender youngiSh looking man of 43. He has no movie good looks. But he has a face with character in 1t, a countenance which crinkles up into a pleased smile when he Is amused.
 Queen Elizabeth is rather short and going plumpish. By any stand ard she would be called 8 pretty woman. She would be called so even if she were the wife of London corner grocer.
 Like all the members of the House of Windsor, the king is no high-brow. Neither is he a low brow. His virtues are those of the middle class-love of family, quiet evenings at home when his duties allow it, honest and assiduous attention to his job.
 He will not be at loss for sub jects of animated talk with Presi- dent Roosevelt. F. D. R. was as- sistant secretary of the navy dur ing the World War. He is a great collector of models and prints of ships. King George, like his father, did not expect to be king, and, like his father, therefore, chose Britain's senior service, the navy, as 8 ca- re@.
 AS Prince Albert he was 8 sub lieutenant on a battleship when the W&ld War broke, and took his risk with ordinary seamen, serving in a gun turret in the great battle of Jutland in 1916. So as a naval man, he will be able to talk ships with Roosevelt.
 The distinguishing feature of the New Deal is an attempt to bring about better conditions for the man who works. AS Duke of York, he went to factories to learn conditions for himself. He became president of the Society for Industrial Welfare. To break down Snobbery and class feeling he established a summer camp where boys from the universities and boys from the factories meet as equals. As Duke of York he camped with them. As king last summer he once

Special to The Democrat

New York, Dec. 30-Rowley w. Phillips, of the investment firm if R. F. Griggs & O., Waterbury, Conn.,, and Horace B. Merwin, pres ident of Bridgeport City Trust Co.,, Bridgeport, Conn, have been called to appear before Assistant Attorney General Ambrose V. Mccall Jan- uary 4, here in connection with the investigation of directors of Mo- Kesson & Robbins, Inc.
 Both of the Connecticut men were directors of McKesson & Robbins from the time when their respective companies participated in financing the hair tonic company of the late 'F. Donald Coster"- Philip Musica in merger with the Connecticut Me- Kesson & Robbins company.
 Lawyer Called
 Also called to appear in the in- veStigation of the State Securities bureau under the attorney generals office January is Corporation Counsel Vincent w. Dennis of Hart- ford, Conn, whose receivership pe- tition as a stockholder contained the first public accusation against Coster- -Musica.
 A number of directors have been questioned already about their re- lationiship with Coster- Musica and concerning the alleged accusations against Coster-M -Musica by their in- vestigator back in 1884. The devel- opments included revelations that Waddill Catchings, an analyst and corporation executive, had been re- tained by the directors in 1933 and 1884 and that the investigator had reported at that time to the direc- tors concerning "chaos" in the wholesale department of McKeSson & Robbins, where an estimated shortage of $18,00O,000 in assets is indicated. .,t .,.t .-
 Catchings told the attorney gen. eral that he had reported to the directors on Coster's activities but that Coster, or Musica,. had come to New York in advance of the direc- tors meeting and had created dis sension" among the directors so that no unified action against the swindling president was effective.
 Methods Exposed

requirements have not been univer- sally observed.
 Statutes Faulty
 The committee report maintains that the statutes with respect to municipalities have been passed Gin piece-meal fashion" and mot only do not embrace comprehen- sive requir ements for financial con- trol and reporting of local govern ments, but are not being observed by all municipalities
 Possibly, it concludes, this is be- cause the subsection of the state tax commissioners office under which municipal matters have been handled is not headed by trained accountant.
 Maintaing that the cash book form recently prescribed by the tax commissioners office are adequate only tol meet the requirements of small communities and are wholly inadequate for larger towns and cities, the report suggests a uniform system of accounts. This system, it holds. should be so devised as to be subject to amplification and con- densation according to the size of the taxing unit but following major account classification groupings.
 The report holds that it is as inl- portant that governmental depart ments be audited by independent or public certified accountants as 1t is for private business; more im- portant, in fact, because of the enormity of governmental expendi- lures and because every citizen is "stockholder."
 Tt is a precept that one cannot audit himself" states the report. "It is, therefore, evident that the state government cannot audit itself or political subdivision in which it has an interest. An audit of towns by the state department would effec- lively result in the town becoming 8 department of the state, which would be destructive to the princi- pie of home rule"
 Legislative Committee
 Members of the society,s commit tee on legislation are: Charles F. Coates. chairman, Hartford; Seth Hatfield, George F. Campbell, Max well B. Lerner, Maurice, L. Blan- chard. Walter A.

She knelt and calmly took the
husky's jowls in her two hands,
while his tail swept slowly to and

AS Alan watched her he wondered
what could have induced John Nc
Cord to bring such girl into the
heart of the Ungava barrens.
A loud yawn from the upper bunk
announced the awakening of the gi-
ant and soon the room was filled
with odors of hot bannocks, frying
caribou steak and tea.
During the following days, while
the boys and dog were regaining
their lost weight and strength and
the crust stiffened under the March
sun, Alan talked much with Nc
Cord. But his direct questions re-
ceived evasive answers. The mys-
terry of the giants presence on the
Talking River was still unsolved in
the minds of the boys. The explana-
ton that he was there to trade with
the Indians did not satisfy them.
Nevertheless, in the intimacy of
the life together. Alan and Noel
