HULL OPPOSES

Washington, Nov. 7.-(AP)-
Secretary Hull expressed today
his opposition to the transfer to
Panamanian registry of United
States Lines ships, as impairing
the integrity of the neutrality
act.
Hull said he had given his
opinion to the Maritime Com
mission. He did not indicate
what the commissions reaction
was.
United States Lines applied
for permission to transfer to
Panamanian registry nine ships
which had been in trans Allan
tic service. After one member
of the commission had said yes
tcrday that the transfer had
been approved, the full COM
mission issued, after a late
night session, statement say
ing it was dcferring final action
pending an investigation of all
the facts.
At his press conference, Hull
recalled that yesterday he had
told the Maritime Commission
there was no question of for
eign policy involved in the
transfer, but that his opinion
was given in the absence of vir-
tually any of the facts.
The secretary of state added
that as some of the facts per-
tanning to the application of the
United States Lines for transfer
of registry had since come to

! WASHINGTON = The expected visit here this spring of the King and Queen of England looks like the biggest social event Washing ton has ever seen.
 Tn years past Presidents have en- tertained kings of small powers anc princes of the larger ones. But never before has the Washington social set been promised an honest to good ness king and queen of a majoi power. And never before have reign ing monarchs slept in the White House. The Britishers are taking pot luck with the Roosevelts.
 Pot luck is what it likely will seem to the royal guests. They could stroll all over the White House in Is min- utes. Gn all probability they will never see the whole of that mausole- um they call home, Buckingham Palace.)
 They will occupy two suits on the second floor of the White House, neither of which could com pete with suites in New York's bet ter hotels. The king and queen each will have bedroom and bath and will share the Monroe room as a lounge. It was in the Monroe room the treaty with Spain was signed, and it was that room the cabinet used for meetings. Its long windows look down on the White House lawns. And certainly the upholstered chairs, heavy velvet drapes and gilt framed mirrors should remind the visitors of their dear old great grandmother. Victoria.
 No Social Honor
 They will breakfast in bed, if they wish. For the rest of their visit here they will be at the mercy of the State Department and the British embassy One event is cer- tain: a state dinner at the White House to which some 90 of the luckier and more illustrious social lights will be invited And already deep schemes are afoot among the dowagers to wangle invitations to the event. Certainly such an invN tation would be gold seal on any social career.
 This royal couple has been pre- ceded here by their more spectacu- lar brother, the present Duke of Windsor and by their grandfather, Edward the Seventh. Both came here before they ascended the Brit ish throne.
 Buchanan was President when Edward visited in 1860. The enter tainment must have been pretty
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-02-23

stiff for the gay prince because Buchanan thought dancing much below the dignity of the visit. How ever, his hostess was Harriet Lane, his young niece. She headed a party which took Edward by boat to Mt. Vernon, and the boat had no sooner showed off than the young people had a minuet in fun swing.
 Years later when Wilson was President. and when he was con- fined to his bed, Edwards grand sen, the present Duke of Windsor visited. That was 1919. He went upstairs to Wilson's bedroom to chat, and leaning over Wilson's bed chuckled at the stories the President had collected about his grandfather's visit 59 years before.
 That same year, 1919 the King and Queen of Belgium. were here to pay respects for the part this country played in the World War The king had been here as a prince in 1893 when he travelled informal

BEST CHANCE FOR CURE
THRU EARLY DISCOVERY
Chest Clinics Being Held This
Month Throughout Nation


Chest clinics for early discovery Of
tuberculosis will be held in every part
of the country this month in connec-
ton with the annual early Discovery.
Early Recovery" campaign of the Ma
tional and State tuberculosis Associa-
tions. Redoubled efforts will be made
in the regular chest clinics held thru
out Maryland to reach persons of all
age groups who show early signs of
the disease or who have been in con-
tact with it.
Explaining the emphasis on "early
discovery" DR.. R. H. Riley, Director Of
the State Department of Health, said,
Tuberculosis doesn't just happen; it
always is picked up, somehow, often
in childhood, from other cases. Very
frequently there is no outward evil
dence of the disease for a number of
years, or until some strain or illness
breaks down the powers of resistance
and causes the disease to flare up. The
best chance for cure is through the
discovery and care of the disease while
it is in its early stages.
Tuberculosis is to be found in every
age group. No age is entirely free
from it, but it takes its heaviest toll
among young people-boys and girls
still in school, young men and young
women just reaching maturity and es-
tablishing homes of their own.
Our boys and girls of school age in
Maryland are being safeguarded thru
what are known as tuberculin tests
simple skin tests which show whether
or not the disease has been acquired at
any time-followed by x-ray examina-
lions, which disclose the location and
condition of the part affected. Porta-
bic X-ray machines which makes these
tests possible are owned or are avail
able in all of the County Health De-
partments. The tests are made with
the permission of the parents in con-
nection with the regular health SER
vices of the County Departments of
Health in the schools. If any evidence
of tuberculosis is discovered the find
ing are explained to the parents, and
they are advised as to whatever care
or treatment is necessary.
Similar services are available to
others in all age groups, at the regular
chest clinics held monthly-or in some
counties more Observation-Disclosures
the State. The clinics are held under
the joint auspices of the State and
County Departments of Health and
the State tuberculosis Association.
Persons who are interested in these
clinics can find out about them from
their own doctors or from the County
Health Officer or the Public Health
Nurse"

Lloyd and Scott Sisler, Route /, out
of Terra Alta, residents of Garrett
county on the edge of Maryland in the
GAINESVILLE community, are free on
bond awaiting action of the June term
of the grand jury in Preston county,
West Va, on charges Of stealing 27
chickens from Howard Gordon, also Of
the GAINESVILLE community, on the
night Of April 3.
West Virginia State Trooper w. c.
Davis and Deputy Sheriff Ted linn,
Of Kingwood, made the arrests after
the stolen chickens were found in a
den-like enclosure near the Sisler
home. The officers declared that the
fowls were cached in a place that
looked as if it were a long-used hid
ing place for stolen livestock.
Indications were that sheep also
had been hidden there and there were
hen roosts built in the cliff to care
for chickens. The hiding place was
located on Sand Hill.
The two men were bound over for
the grand jury by Justice l. R. Mat
tingly, of Kingwood.
