House Members Wire
Asks Kinq of Wor Debt

Representative Martin L. Sweeney.
Democrat, of Ohio today addressed
the following telegram to King
George vi at the White House
Because London dispatches have
characterized your visit to the
United States as an official one, I
believe that 1 am acting within the
boundaries of propriety in demand
ing as Representative of the people
in the Congress of the United States
that you publicly state what your
government intends to do about
payment of war debts due this
Nation in the sum of approximately
S., 100000. If your government
can continue to spend a few billion
dollars each year for ornaments,
continue to subsidize the construc-
ton of super steamships like the
Queen Mary and the Queen Eliza
beth, do you not think it is the
decent thing to give some considera-
ton to the obligation you owe the
United States of America, whose
assistance in the last World War
made possible the continuation of
your majesties' government as a
world power"

King and Queen
To See Little on Visit
To New York and Fair
RoyoIty to Be Shunted
Quickly From Point
To Point in Short Call
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 8.-King George
and Queen Elizabeth are coming to
New York and the Worlds Fair
Saturday, but they'll see a lot less
OF, both than will the folks from
Keokuk, Chattanooga and Woon-
socket.
For, what chance have king and
queen to see-or be seen-when-
more than 10000 of the city's $4,000
policemen will be on duty during
their visit and 5000, the largest
special police detail ever created
here, will be assigned specifically to
guard them.
Their entire visit to the city, which
needs lifetime to be seen, will last
only 5 hours, of which 81 hours
will be spent at the fair.
And when their route through the
city has been mapped specifically to
avoid congested areas where are the
wonders that lure other tourists
Broadway, the Empire State Build
ing, Rockefeller Center, Fifth avenue
and the like?
Their one scheduled appearance
for the specific purpose of receiving
the plaudits of the populace-aside
from their drive-will be a five
minute session on a platform out
side the Federal building at the
fair.
Even standing room along the
West Side Express highway, up
which the royal car will roll for
about 100 blocks, has been reserved
for ticket-holders only, though war
veterans in uniform will be admitted
to serve as an honor guard.
Tickets are free for the asking at
City Hall, but there are only 60,000
available and $4,000 were sought in
single day. After they are gone,
women still may get passes by the
simple expedient of marrying a po-
liceman or fireman.
The city is reserving space for the
40.000 fire and police wives, plus free
u dllopOl ldtlOIl W tIlC lOSdl lOuJS. :.
School children, too, will be given
preferred places in the front ranks
along the route through Central
Park.
At the fair, arriving at noon, their
majesties will attend a reception,
review troops, eat an all-American
luncheon with So of the elect and
visit the English and British Do
minions' pavilions.
On their way out Of town at 2:40
pm. (E. S. TT they will stop at Co.
lumbia University. which originally
was chartered by the English Crown
as Kings College, to spend IS min
utes with DR.. Nicholas Murray But
Ter, the President. Next stop, Hyde
Park.
incidentally, if all this seems too
complicated for just a peek at their
majesties, pull up your armchair to
the nearest television set. For the
first time on American soil, royalty
will be televised Saturday.

Friendship Citizens
Indorse Supply Bill

The increase in the Federal lump
sum payment to the District was
commended by the Friendship Citi-
zens Association at its meeting last
night.
In the resolution, the group ap-
proved the increases in the appro-
priation bill, particularly in the
amount granted for schools, and
urged the House to concur in the
Senate changes.
Also approved was the appropria-
ton for an additional Is police and
for a new central library, but the
group pointed out the need for q
branch library in Friendship Heights
or Tenleytown.
The unit Endorsed pedestrian con-
troll as desirable, but said adequate
enforcement was impossible until
enough suitable mechanical devices
to regulate pedestrian traffic are
installed. The group voted to seek
funds for the devices.
The group will sponsor a garden
contest this summer.
Samuel J. Flickinger was reelected
president of the association for the
sixth time. Other officers chosen
are Martin Cook, first vice presi-
dent: Miss B. I. Pulizzi. second vice
president; Harry Freeman, treas
urer. and j. H. Mills, secretary.
Delegates to the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations will be elected at
the October meeting
The meeting was the last of the
civic year. except for a dinner to
be given the Executive Committee
late this month. G. A. Cannon is
in charge Of the dinner arrange
ments.

Parade Is a Backache
For Street Cleaners

Virtually the entire street clean
ing force of the District went into
action shortly after the welcoming
parade for the British King and
Queen was over. The force had one
of the worst messes to clean up they
have seen in years.
William A. Xanten. supervisor of
the City Refuse Department, ordered
out $50 men and so trucks for the
job Of picking up after parade
spectators. The remainder of the
Districts 313 white wings" were
left to take care of the rest of the
city.
This is a typical parade job, but
it's the worst we've tackled for a
long time" an official said
Papers covered the downtown
streets as if there had been a bliz-
zard, A breeze whipped the papers
around and made things more diff
cult for the cleaners.
Boxes and baskets left by specta-
tors were stacked on the corners,
anr were picked up by trucks. In
some Of the small parks along the
route, street cleaners were waist
deep in paper.
Tonight, when the streets are clear
of tarfflc, the department water
wagons will move over the route,
finishing off the job.

members of the royal suite walked
to the precipice
No cheering broke the spell, while
the King and Queen, standing alone
at the brink. gazed for Is minutes
at the wall of tumbling water. Be-
hind them stood the silent crowd.
The King and Queen dined in
formally with IS members of their
party and local dignitaries before
leaving for Niagara Falls, N. Y, and
the welcome by Secretary Hull
After leaving Niagara Falls the
train, except for brief stop at Buff
falo to change locomotives, pro-
ceeded directly to Washington via
Harrisburg, Pa, and Baltimore.
Ask About ID. c. Weather.
Despite the watchfulness of guards
at Buffalo, John P. Curtis, manager
of a carloading concern near the
spot where the royal train stopped,
reported that several of his employees
talked with the King and Queen as
they stood on the rear platform He
quoted Queen Elizabeth as telling
the group that Niagara Falls had
Come up to all our expectations. -
The Queen also asked what kind
of weather they could expect in
Washington, Mr.. Curtis said, and
when one of the men answered
Pretty hot" the King laughed.
Mr.. Curtis said Queen Elizabeth
did most of the talking and asked
several questions about Buffalo and
the Niagara frontier.
Members of the royal encourage
have expressed great interest, and
something akin to apprehension, re-
garding the intensity of interest
Americans have shown in the royal
visit. Mindful of the enthusiastic
and responsive reception by Cana
dians throughout the trip to the
Pacific and back, they wondered
what might happen in Washington
and New York. where people are
supposed to be more demonstrative

days of George V. All the members
Of the royal family, including the
present King, who was then Duke of
York, were introduced.
After his greeting Mr.. Hull pre-
sented the other members of the
welcoming party to the royal couple
and the guard of honor, 100 soldiers
from the 28th Infantry at Fort Nj
agara, were drawn up in their honor
by Maj. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, who
will serve as the Kings military aide
during his American visit.
Flags Only Decorations.
The drab station, located two
miles out in the country from
Niagara Falls, N. Y, was entirely
without decorations except for two
crossed flags. the Stars and Stripes
and the Union Jack. over the doo-
of the reception room. They seem
to have been placed there at the
last moment as an afterthought.
They were the sort of flags which
are placed on the graves of soldiers
on Decoration Day. Neither the
King nor the Queen gots inside the
station, which had been so carefully
decorated with tapestries and fine
old furniture.
This was the fourth time. State
Department attaches recalled, that
a reigning monarch has set foot on
the soil of the United State"Dom
Pedro Emperor of Brazil; King Al
bert OF Belgium and King Praijihi-
pok OF Siam. None of the others re-
ceived less formal greeting than
did the young man and woman who
are symbols of the British Empire
last night.
And they must have been grateful
for it. Yesterday was perhaps the
most firing day of their North
American trip as Canadians outdid
themselves to give their sovereigns
royal send-off. They must have
welcomed the stiffness. The roar of
Niagara, supposedly symbolic of the
tumult and power of the land whose
guests they now are, was so far
away that there was not the faintest
murmer.

Couple Watch Cataract
Through Rainbow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NIAGARA FALLS. Ontario, June
8.-Before leaving here last night
King George vi and Queen Eliza
beth viewed the mighty spectacle
OF the falls, seeing it through a
rainbow. Like ordinary tourists
they turned back time after time to
observe the spectacle before going
to their hotel, where their appear
ance on balcony set off the most
unusual demonstration of their
trip. Fifty thousand persons were
massed in the vicinity and their
cheers mingled with the roar of
the cataract and booming bands.
But scheduled visit to the Cave
of Winds under the Falls was can
celed at the last moment when King
George decided the past two days
had been too firing. The royal cou-
pie preferred to return through the
crowds that had waited for them for
hours and had had little opportunity
to see them. They had planned to
clothe themselves in rubber and de-

The royal couple finished their
6,OOO-mile tour from Quebec to the
Pacific and back here with a 3O-mile
automobile ride during which they
were greeted by probably 200 1000
people gathered along the route.
Watch From Table Rock.
Driving to the Niagara Falls ad-
ministration building through crowds
as thick as they have seen anywhere,
they performed the official presenta-
tions in setting where they could
look out over the shoulders of the
local notables and see the crest of
Horseshoe Falls.
But not until they reached Table
Rock did they have opportunity to
see the spectacle in all its grandeur.
The crowds were kept at a distance

Will Be Literally
An A|I-American One
Royalty to Hear Opera and
Radio Stors, Housewives
And Mountuineers
And Mountuineers

By the Associated Press.
When you say the White House
musical program for the King and
Queen tonight is American, it
doesn't begin to tell the story.
Stars of the concert stage, opera
and radio whose names are world
known will alternate with singers
and dancers whose talents have gone
generally unheralded outside their
own communities.
Here are thumbnail glimpses of
the performers:
Marian Anderson. colored con-
tralto who gained worldwide recog-
milton at the Salzburg Festival in
1885. was born in the Philadelphia
Negro quarter. Her father was
barber and her mother school
teacher who once took in washing.
She appeared here in a free outdoor
concert on Easter Sunday after she
had been denied use of the d. A. R.
and public school auditoriums.
The Soco Gap Square Dancers from
Haywood County, N. c., are farmers,
mechanics, school teachers and
housewives. They will dance the
dive and shoot the owl" kings
highway" and London Bridge" the
men wearing white shirts and dark
trousers, and the girls wearing print
dresses.
Lawrence Tibbett, Metropolitan
Opera star, has been a popular con-
cert singer throughout the country
for years. He has won medals as
the best classical singer and for
good diction on the stage"
British royalty is Just folks" to
four young girls from Coon Greek,
Ky,-Rosie Ledford, %; her sis
ter, Lily May, %; Violet Koehler.
%. and Daisy Lange. 10. Lily May
says she keeps snakes rattlers in
her violin to improve the tone. The
girls figured" they would sing How
Many Biscuits Can You Eat" and
KNOCK En- Daid."
Scarcely radio listener does not
know the voice of Kate Smith.
Washington-born singer who pop
ularized such ballads as when the
Moon Comes Over the Mountain"
The North Carolina Negro spiritual
singers were trained by Mrs Nell
Hunter who selected 13 musicians
from w. P. A. community singing
groups in Durham and Winston
Salem, N. c., to sing Humble Your
self, and Wade in De Water
Cowboy songs will be contributions
of young Allen Lomax. head archivist
for American folk songs in the
Library of Congress.
The musicale will follow the
White House state dinner for their
majesties. The 83 dinner guests
will be augmented by more than 200
officials and their wives and per-
sonal friends of the Roosevelts for
whom there was not room at the
formal dinner.
