Wife Of British Ambassador Speaks Of "We Americans" :"
 *** *** *** ** 1 SHE IS U. S.-BORN LADY LINDSAY
BY GERRY DICK

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Washington, May 17.-One of the
 most important social events in con-
 nection with the visit of King
 George and Queen Elizabeth to
 Washington will be held on British soil-but the responsibility for its
 success will rest largely upon the shoulders of an American woman. The fete will be the great garden party in honor of the King and Queen, to be held on the lawn of the British Embassy, which is tech-
 nically British territory. SuperviS- ing the festival where 1900 guests will congregate for glimpse of the King and Queen will be Lady Lind say, wife of His Majesty's Ambas- sador, Sir Ronald Lindsay. Lady Lindsay was born Elizabeth Hoyt, of
 New York. We Americans" is
 a phrase she likes to interject in
 her conversations.
 DESIGNED LOVELY
 EMBASSY GARDENS
 It has been said that Lady Lind say is an aloof person-with "typi- cally British" aloofness. That mis- taken characterization stems from the fact that Her Excellency was seriously ill when the handsome new Embassy was completed in 1880, and it was not immediately opened to the curious. Actually she is gra- cious, friendly, witty and hostess whose invitations are eagerly sought If the King and Queen, as most visitors do, express admiration for the magnificent Embassy gardens,
 is will be a proud moment for Lady
 Lindsay. For she is a talented
 landscape gardener, was profes-
 sional before her marriage and de-

Detroit, June 10.-(AP)-The
American Federation of Labor auto

extensive tie-up Of General Motors

tions with it.
Hardly had the UAW faction, head
ed by Homer Martin, been restored
to it's old AF of L. charter when it
called strikes in three General Motors
factories at Flint and Saginaw.
The management denied, however,
that the strikes called Thursday were
effective, and r. j. Thomas, presl-
dent of the rival UAW branch, af-
filiated with the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations, said they were
a complete failure.
Elmer Dowell, head of General
Motors activities in the AFL-UAW,
declared that, contrary to reports,
"the plants in Flint are down, and
the plant in Saginaw will be closed
down if it tries to operate"

Paris, June TO- (AP) Reports
reached Paris from usually well in
formed sources in Berlin today to
the effect that Adolf Hitler was pre-
pairing specific propositions to
France, Britain and the United
States for settlement of the problems
which are causing world war fears.
The reports, which received no
open and official confirmation, said
that Hitler was expected to make
the proposals in speech during the
early part Of July at the launching
of a new German warship. He is now
working on them, the report said,
but there has been no hint Of their
nature.
Some diplomatic circles recalled
the House Of Lords speech Of Wis
count Halifax, British foreign minis
ter, Thursday night, in which he
told of Britain's willingness to eX-
anime such problems at the confer
ence table, if Germany would re-
nounce any threat of force. Diplomats
said that this speech might have
been the key to the reichfuehrer's
reported decision.
Diplomats in Paris said they were
unable to reconcile reports of Hit
ler's plans with continuing German
press attacks against the British for
eign Secretary'S speech.

N. Hampshire
Passes Wrong
Tobacco Tax

Concord, N H., June 10.-(AP)-
Faced with the knowledge that the
legislature had enacted the wrong
tobacco tax bill into law, New
Hampshire officials studied possible
means today of correcting the mis-
take.
F. Maryland Morse, legislative
counsel for Governor Francis Murphy
vino signed the measure without
knowing the error, expressed con-
1idence the legislature itself would
act swiftly to remedy the mistake.
Attaches Of the governors office,
IN the absence of the chief executive,
also said the error could be easily
corrected by amendments which they
added probably would be introduced
IN the House and Senate next Tues
day The amendments, they said,
would bring the bill Gin line with
the intent Of the governor.
Members Of the governors staff
explained that the legislature de-
bated the proper bill, but that the
clerk Of the ways and means COM
mlttee sent the wrong bill to the en-
crossing committee.
The act which levies Is percent
tax ON tobacco products sold in the
state was not the one which lnclud-
ed d section directing that the rev.
enue, estimated at about $l,OOO,OOO
year, be used to reduce real estate

The House passed and sent to the
Senate today far-reaching series

Benefits of the law would be ex-
tended to cover employees of ma
tional banks, G.men, seamen and
employed persons over IS years
OF age, adding a total of about L.

changes offered potential savings to
employers and others of about ST.

Meantime, reports that President
Roosevelt plans tentatively to go to
the San Francisco Worlds Fair the
last week in July spurred congress
sional opponents of neutrality revi-
sion to fresh activity. They press
