 united family which would return to receive London's ovation.
 Get Away From London
 The royal physicians were ex- pected to advise the King and Queen to get away from London as soon as possible after their return to take complete rest. Their first engagement is to attend an official welcoming luncheon at the Guild hall in the ancienty city on the day after their return. But 1t was ex- pected that, after the crowds had been given chance to cheer, the King and Queen would go to the country as soon as they could.
 The Daily Mail, in an editorial today summing up the royal visit to the United States said:
 Tn all modern history there is nothing to compare with the Kings s and Queens conquest of American hearts. London will challenge the applause of New York when in 10 days time 1t lifts It's voice to well come home the royal couple"
 Newspaper Yarn
 The Daily Herald, in a dispatch from New York, reported today a hidden war" as the result of which Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New York sent an "ultimatum" to the American government in con- nection with arrangement for the royal visit to New York.
 The dispatch quoted LaGuardia as saying that New York's reception to the King and Queen was won- derful.
 But it was nothing to what 1t would have been if 1t had been done properly" he was quoted as adding in an interview. "The whole thing was messed up. If I had had my way thrice the number of people would have roared their welcome.
 They wouldn't let the King and Queen see the real New York. They should have driven up Broadway, which Is the heart of New York. and not along side roads and by-paths." |" Villains In Drama
 Asked who were the villains" in the situation, La Guardia was quot- ed as replying:
 "Your British embassy and our state department. Not content with turning down my request for Q drive up Broadway, they even demanded Friday night, 12 hours before the visit began, that spectators should be confined to few thousand rigid ly selected people. This was the last straw. When Washington showed obstinacy I served an ultimatum by telephone to the highest quarters that unless New Workers were per- mitted unrestriciedly to dsnion- strate their maiesties through New Works highways and low ways. even Broadway.

 Almost Forgot Royalty

The radio commentator or the British Broadcasting Company took SO much interest in the composition of "hot dog" that he almost for got to mention the King and Queen having been at the picnic which the presidential family gave the royal couple at Hyde Park yester- day.
 He read copiously from pamph- let on ''hot dogs" issued by the Na- tional Sausage Casing Manufactur- CTS Association, relating the history of "hot dogs" and listening three ways of eating them t1) the lover hand method 'allegedly favored by the President ana Mrs. Roosevelt: (2) the "underhand" method. and (3) the two listed or voracious method favored by youngsters"

ALCORN SEEKS
 FOR PERMISSION

Continued from Page D fendants will take the stand in their own behalf. Other witnesses for the defense will include nationally known accountants and city hall workers.
 No inkling as to the identity of the first witness the defense plans to call can be obtained, for defense counsel are guarding their schedule of wit nesses just as jealousy as did the state. The state will call it's 60th witness tomorrow, when the 18th session of the seyen-nonths-old trial is convened.
 Defense May Last Months
 A concensus among defense coun- sel is that they will require three months for the presentation of their witnesses. This, they admit, is only 8 speculation, however.
 Defense Attorney James D. o. Murray has issued 8 statement to the effect that Mayor Frank Hayes will take the stand in his own de- fense. He is not expected to be the first witnesses called, however. Assuming that County Detective Hickey is the last witness for the state and his testimony requires most of tomorrow, it seems improb- able that the defense will call any witnesses before one week from to- morrow.
 Actions for Dismissal
 For if Hickey testified for the state one day, he will be cross-examined at least one day. When the state rests the defense may seek a delay to prepare their motions for dis miSSal
 Arguments on the motions will re- quire at least asday, and Judge h. glis, if he does not give his decisions on the motions from the bench, may recess court for another day. or even the weekend to prepare his deci- sions.
 The delay on that condition would also avail defense counsel an added opportunity to lineup their witt neSSes.
 No indications of how many wit nesses will be called, and only five are known to have been subpoenaed. All are officials and employees of the Waterbury Republican-American.

 Action may be called for by Most Reverend Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, to whom com plaints about the Waterbury clinic have already been made.

 From the time Nelson hit the ball from the fairway of the 453 yard hole that is dog leg over water, there didn't seem to be any doubt where is was going. It screamed through the wind, bounced once, twice and 8 thir dtime and ran for the cup like homing pigeon cuts its unerring way through the sky.

Oatt0W FIT HI uldI ) studies are in progress already. But the antitrust division has just five men to spare for the job. It wants to use from 60 to 100 men on 1t - to move into 8 dozen or a score oi cities simultaneously and open ur the industry from top to bottom. MAY REVEAL
 A SCANDAL
 If 1t is enabled to do this, two re- suits are anticipated:
 First, there may be literally hundreds of indictments.
 Second, building prices may be broken all along the line - ma terials, labor, appliances, and SC on. Out of this, the Justice De- partment confidently believes there would come the long-awaited breaking of the log jam in the building industry.
 Specifically, Thurman Arnold assistant attorney general in charge of the antitrust division, has as- serted that price structure in the building industry is unduly rigid be- cause of practices common in every level of the industry, from top to bottom. Among such practices, he declares, are the following:
 Prices of materials are fixed by a variety of means. In some cases holders of patents on building materials allegedly control sales methods and even limit the quan- titles which may be sold, among those who handle their products.
 Easing point and zone price sys- terns are common in some building materials industries. In certain irl- dustries, a definite share of the business Is allotted to different con- cerns, and the crack-down is ap- piled to any firm which tries to gel more than its share by cutting prices.
 PRICE BOYCOTTS
 CHARGED
 m the field of distribution, 1t is charged that collusive markups are prevalent. Boycotts are applied te manufacturers who sell to distribu. tors that refuse to abide by these rnark-ups. Tn some cases, distribu. tors boycott retailers who sell ap. pliances direct to the consumer There are instances where a manu. facturers has to pay 8 distributor z commission when he-the manu. facturer-Sells an appliance direct to . consumer, even though the dis tributor had nothing whatever to de with the sale.
 Contracting rings which fix bid! may be common. In some cities, i is said that contractors maintain { central bureau which calculates tht costs of various jobs and tells eacf contractor the bid he is to make.
 In one way and another, build. ing trades labor unions may draw cards in most of these practices. II some cases, they may be in collus. ion with manufacturers or distribu tors: in others, with contractors; ii still others. they may set up theil own restraints us to the materiall or methods which may be used il building.

prophecies of disaster pretty well discredited British unemployment which use here as the basic index of economic health, had actually fallen shade under the million mark By pre-war standards this was nothing to boast of. but unemployment rate of 10 per cent of all workers is recovery from rate of 20 per cent such England knew soon after the such in this country know today
 England therefore was well on the way to re- coyery when the world tempest of ten years ago broke At the height of the storm as we have seen. unemployment went up from one million to three million. But the crisis was surnounted and the figures again started to go down The population Of the United States is something less than three times that of Great Britain At the British unem- poyment rate we should have between four and five million persons out of work. Actually we have ten million. By comparison with other free nations and especially ourselves Great Britain has obviously fended off that inevitable" doom of fifteen years ago
 The story of British stamina and British resil- fence is here rehearsed not to make the home pie ture black but just the contrary The prophets of gloom turned out to be false prophets in the case of England, with their closed eras and epochs and dooms. There is all the more reason why the dark soothsayers should be proved false about America with it's greater and younger strength than Engands As a matter of fact in England the apocalyptic prophets were at time regarded as seriously as the temperamental American people has listened to it's own expounders of closed and dispensa- tions. And that in very large measure would be the reason why Engand nas done much better to find work for her people than the United States. with resources and advantages ever so much greater.

DEMISE GREATLY EXAGGERATED

The people who the doom oI the British Elm pre in letters of fire the wall much fewer than in the months immediately after Munich last year but they still make themselves heard It is not, however the kind of doom that used to be pronounced on England in the years after the World War. If the power and the glory should depart from England in the future the catastrophe will be the re suit of external force The earlier fate that awaited Britain was the result of internal decay. Today we think of the new German challenge and war end ing in the defeat of British Fifteen years ago when people were writing books and magazine ar ticles entitled "Whither England?F the menace was a creeping economic paralysis.
 The latest figures on British unemployment show decline of 156.O00 in the April-May mid-month period to total of l492OO0 It is the biggest May shrinksge in ten years. Rearmament activity is not the principal cause. First place is given to re- vival of business confidence. The figure of approx matey one and half million unemployed is no the lowest in recent years Only last August on the eve of Munich, the idle workers a shade over 100000. v,-,.~-v~ -s ~ase.ss
 is only one-half of the peak figure of nearly three million in the black year 1882 Over here, with ten million unemployed down less than quar- ter from a peak figure under fourteen million in March, 1933 Several years later Administration estimate revised the March 1883 figures upward to something like sixteen million unemployed Even then we have cut down unemployment by only 35 per cent against Great Brtain's full 50 per cent
 Engand's economic doom. foretold in great detail after 1920 has thus failed to true; it i quite different problem today with the Hitler anc Mussolini threat. There were plenty of plausible learned reasons why England 15 years ago on the skids She was losing world markets to younger rivals.

The great popular success of the British royal visit to New York being a matter of history, there be harm in taking glance at the estimate of 35oOOO0 spectators along ffty-one miles of New York streets traversed by King George and Queen Elizabeth It works out at 10000 spectators the mile 3500O to the mile counting both sides Of the street. That turn works out to spec tators to the linear foot This is considerably re- duced if allow for large open spaces like Battery Park or Columbia University campus or the Worlds Fair where the crowd stood in solid formation Fur ther allowance must be made for spectators in win dows and roofs. Even then three and a half million people is vast outpouring. It is roughly half the population of the city
 Estimating the size of crowds is far from being an exact science In the case of a Communist parade the organizers will say 100000 people in line and the police apt to say 30000 When it comes to a hot Sunday at Coney Island the police are apt to overstae The point is that in recent years have been so spoiled by easy millions and billions that we are apt to forget how many people million peo pie really are, especially when they come out Of their own free will The huge crowds in the servile States of Europe mean nothing. The totalitarian serfs are mobilized for parade duty they mob ized for They would soon refuse to come out and cheer they would dream of not answering summons to barracks
 The same argument from freedom applies to shaking hands with the King of England to greet ing him collectively from the sidewalk. Berlin lost time in pointing that at the royal reception in Congress seventy-eight members of the House stayed away. Allowing for illness and genuine press ing business in a body of 435 it would mean that Representative in every five chose not to meet the King and Queen.
 Berlin, to be sure does not believe in majorities and minorities though in the decadent democra- cies still do Does it to the Berlin mind that one Congressman in five refusing to meet King George means four Congressman in five freely com ing forward to shake hands with the King of Eng Ian? No doubt if Hitler presented his good friend Mussolni to the German Reichstag 500 members out of 600 would be present and heing.

 As the business week begins there should be foresight enabling per sons in authority to prepare for fu- ture exigencies. Commerce may be fortunately directed and surprises may occur when the outlook appears most discouraging.
 Astrologers stress the need of persistent cultivation of optimism and the determined pursuit of suc- cess, despite apparent obstacles. To the persevering will come reward in molding events toward the right pattern.
 Women should be cautious about embarking on anything which ap- pears to offer them defeat or lack of complete success. It is an un- fortunate date for love affairs. Through the summer persons who possess permanent positions or re- liable incomes are under propitious planetary influences. To the thrifty also will come surcease of anxiety at a time when there is wide ap- prehension, economic and govern mental.
 Scandals among government em- ployees are presaged for the sum- mer. Men in high positions should be careful to avoid the appearance of evil.
