 in his conversation with the duke, said that naturally he was unable to speak for the attitude of the royal family, which is purely a per- sonal matter between the duke and his kinstnen.
 The duke and duchess spent this morning examining their new home which is being prepared for them on the Boulevard Suchet. The duke seemed excited and happy, apparcnt- ly having construed Chamberlain's remarks as indorsement of the invi- tation to visit England extended by his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, on his recent visit to Paris. The duke so far has not changed his plans to visit the French Riviera on Dec. IT so that a visit to the royal estate at Sandringham in Norfolk for Christmas still is prohlerlatical.
 Duke Insists on Recognition
 It was learned that large part of the 22~minute talk between the duke and the prime minister was taken up with the dukes insistence on the royal status of his wife. Chamberlain explained that the queen mother was anxious for the early return of her eldest son, but the duke insisted that the duchess must be recognized or that he be assured that his return will be fol- lowed immediately by royal action

Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming sent out crews at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon to spread scilideTs on hilly streets, these giving better traction than sand under dry snow. he explained. The operations continued through the night with the Connecticut Railway and Light Ing Company taking care of bus routes along the hill sections such as Willow, North Main, Walnut and Hill streets, West Side Hill, Grove, Cooke, Pine, Cherry streets, and Bunker Hill avenue.
 Township Curves Sanded
 State Highway Department Em- ployas were engaged from late yes- terday clearing and sanding high- ways n Naugatuck, Southington Mountain, Meriden Road, Wolcott, Middlebury, Watertown and Wood- bury. Curves were sanded soon af- ter the sleet started and large snow trucks were placed in operation last night.
 While no serious accidents were rep0rted In WaLerpury proper, there were numerous minor casualties to automobiles due to skidding and warnings were issued about road conditions. Holiday travellers swarrned into the city early last night and busses passing through were crowded.
 Reaches Peak of Fury
 But few remained on the streets at II o'clock when the storm reached it's peak of fury, the strong north- east wind sweeping down with Arctic intensity along nearly deserted thorOughfafes after the theater crowds had emerged from capacity attendance at the local playhouses.
 Drifts of snow along sidewalks in the center of the city gave Wa terbury the appearance of mid- winter as the sun crept through the clouds at 10 o'clock and the city continued digging out of its first winter storm.

 Long Island Sound traffic was at a standstill as boats sought the shelter of port.
 The temperature remained in the low 20's in most sections through out the night, and in the t1orth- western portion of the state, the range was even lower.
 Counties Worst Hit
 Litchfield, Tolalnd, Windhatn and Hartford Counties, ranging along the northern border, apparently bore the brunt of the storm off until afternoon.
 Thanksgiving holiday travellers found great difficulty brushing through the storm. Ice coated on their windshields, visibility was poor and the roads treacherous. In the back-country it was virtually imposs sihle to get through the drifts.
 A wind of almost gale velocity accompanied the snowfall which started as mild furry and in- creased in density as the hours passed.
 Hurry calls were sent out for workers in municipalities to clear the streets and thousands gained temporary employment.
 Temperatures were milder along the coastline where the storm started as a hail-fan followed by snow to a depth of about four inches.
 There were no calls from ships for Coast Guard assistance out of New London.

 A British source here said:

MT. Chamberlain is 8 practical man. He wants peace in all circles, not only political. It might be a graceful way for all concerned if the duke went home for Christmas with or without the duchess, provided the New Years honors list contained a measure regarding the duchess which would give him satisfaction.
 Tt can be done in 24 hours by the same process by which she was deprived of royal ranking atr the time of their marriage. The cabinet plays the chief role in such action, although finally it must be done by royal decree, with the consent of the government"

 Although the controllers office was to have devised purchase of three trucks for the street depart ment, this has not been completed. The status of the order is in doubt although impending transfer of the truck rental from the street de- partinent to the engineering in next years budget is seen as possible deterrent to the truck purchase, that and shortage of funds.
 200 Men Employed
 About 200 men remain in the street department employ after the dropping of about a score under recommendations of the finance boards economy committee through Griffenhagen & Associates. The city regularly employees about 36 truckers, IS on street department work, the rest on city-WPA pro- jects under contracts devised through the controllers office.
 In other years a number of extra men would have been employed irn- inediately to meet the emergency of clearing the snow from city streets. But the financial condition of the department, under the process of economizing which has been in force for the past several months precludes such arrangement today,
 Sidewalks Must Be Cleared
 Tn connection with the snow re- ilioval, Superintendent of Police William J. Roach issued warning to property owners today that the sidewalks must be cleared.
 The aspect of downtown Water- bury at noon today was that of Waterbury years in the past when heavy storms saw snow left on the streets throughout the winter. This before the era of the automobile, for the most part, however.
 Whether the finance board will have to take recourse to the special contingency fund to meet snow re- inoval costs and extra expense of the street department remained as consideration for the meeting at 4:S0 o'clock Monday afternoon. There remains iii the contingency fund about $160,OOO but the board of aldermen will hold a special meeting Monday night to transfer several amounts from the fund, one of about S12,OO0 in the welfare de- partinei1t for food cbsts.
 WpA Work Suspended
 The storm caused cessation of all WPA work with the exception of the sewing project for women and the special morning labor of few employees to clear snow from ditch- es ifl danger of collapsing.

Bea Kay Actually
Feels Sleepy.

ONE Of the reasons Beatrice Kay
got the job of comedy singer
with the Harry Conn "Earaches OF
1888" was because she was so tired
the night Conn heard her on q broad
cast.
Conn was looking for a girl with a
tired delivery" for his show, some one
who could put a fed-up-with-th the
world attitude into her lines. and
Beatrice certainly was tired enough.
She had not had any sleep the night
before. because she had been playing
summer stock up in Connecticut and
had left at midnight to drive the $50
miles to New York in time for re-
hearsals. Conn thought that she was
ideal for the part he had in mind.
Beatrice's job now is to keep on
being tired. While the rest Of the
"Earaches" cast expends all its en-
ergy. Beatrice just sounds sleepier
and sleepier.
She says that it is easy for her, be-
cause she is night time person any
way. She gets up at noon and does not
begin to get into her stride until al
most midnight. One Of the first ques-
tions she asked Harry Cohn when he
explained the job to her was whether
it would be an early or late evening
show. She was not sure that she
could keep up the tired delivery" for
q late night show. She feels too lively
then.
