Pound Problem
 Faced by Queen

LONDON, July 15 Queen Eliza beth had to consider the problem of 14 extra pounds, gained during the winter, when she bought her spring and summer wardrobe recent ly.
 The Queens dressmakers call her
 pleasingly plump" but she is mak- ing no efforts to get simmer. A true Scotswoman, she likes to eat and has no intention of cutting down on such fattening items as buttered scone, potatoes, milk and cream. Her busy days, moreover leave lit tie time for extra exercise.
 As result, she has had to avoid dress and suit models which tend to break" the figure in preference to those giving a continuity of line.
 She has kept entirely to the en- semble idea this spring, concen- trating on her three favorite styles "a three-piece suit with a short jacket worn under an outer coat of the same length as the skirt; hip- length coat worn over a matching dress; dress and full-length coat cut on edge-to-edge lines and worn open so as to show the front of the dress.
 Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary and the only women in the royal family who don't visit their dress makers When they're in a shopping mood, their dressmakers collect a routine of mannequins and other assists, and come to them.

Curtis agreed reluctantly. for he
would much rather have spent the
precious moments sauntering up and
down outside watching for Fielder

lair. But only at the end of an hour
did he manage to escape. having

was to all Audrey's startling mani

left him breathless. Her beauty was
aflame. His expression startled her.
What is it," she asked.
"You," said Curtis.
"Me?" She looked down at herself.
then her eyes swept the room in search
of mirror. "Is anything wrong?
Don't be foolish. You're so utterly

By the Associated Press.
Associates of Donald w. Smith ex-
pressed confidence today President
Roosevelt would reappoint him to the
National Labor Relations Board this
month despite A. F. of L. criticism of
Board decisions In which Mr.. Smith
has participated.
Mr., Smiths term expires August 27,
Ave days after the A. F. of L. Execu-
tive Council meets to review its policy
toward the Labor Board and the ad-
rninistration of the Wagner Act.
A. r. Of L. leaders, including Presi-
dent William Green and General
Counsel Joseph A. Padway, have criti-
ci1ed the Boards rulings In recent
months On the eve Of the council
meeting there was speculation whether
the Federation chiftains would voice
any opposition to Mr.. Smiths reap
pointment.
The Federation has not mentioned
Mr.. Smith in any of its criticism Of
the Boards orders, but around A. F. of
L. headquarters no secret has been
made Of the fact the Federation would
prefer change In the Board member
ship.
Board actions invalidating A. F. of
L. closed-shop contracts in eight cases,
and refusal in some instances to con-
slider craft unions within a plant as
appropriate bargaining units have
brought charges from the Federation
that the Board is biased in favor of
e, T. o. industrial unions.
% The Board laid down a policy of
invalidating contracts which it con-
sidered were obtained without the full
Sfunctioning of the Wagner Act guar
sntees.
