IDA KARP DIES
 IN FULTON PARK
Body is Found Floating in Pond Lived at 5
 Easton Avenue

Hard upon the heels of two suicides and an attempted suicide in the past two days, the body of Ida Karp, 47, of 35 Easton avenue, was discovered floating prone on the surface of the middle pond at Ful- ton park, about 12 feet from the turret-like gate house, shortly be- fore 10 o'clock this morning. When the body was pulled to shore by Detective Lieut.. William Foley, a leatherette, bright yellow purse was found clutched in the right hand, and an unmarked gold wedding ring on a finger of the left. The purse contained IS cents and Q handkerchief, but no articles of Identification.
 Identified at Noon
 The body was not identified until shortly after 12 o'clock noon, when Detective Lieut.. Henry Johnson re- ported it was Mrs. Carp. Her hus- band, Israel Karp. left yesterday for New York City on business and was notified by Lieut.. Johnson by tele- phone. Mrs. Elsie Cyr, who lives over the Karps, told police the wo- man had been acting strangely of late, and left the house at 6:45 o'clock this morning for a walk.
 Boy Finds Body
 The body was discovered at 9:45 o'clock this morning by Lee Cosgriff of IS Mtson court, a nine-year old boy on his bicycle. He called Anthony Pappariami, of 54 Burton street, who together with others, called police from the park pavilion. A crowd of children on bicycles and women of the neigh borhood quickly gathered in chat tering groups on and near the gate house, and when police pulled the body to shore several took turns in attempting to identify tie woman. but no one knew, or would tell, her name.

I nundreu Sn1pS. Pleasure and eX- cursion boats swarmed around the great white liner.
 Nine royal air force planes dipped in salute dives over the ship before it docked. Bands blared patriotic songs and crowds along the shore cheered. Rain and fog had slowed up the liners progress and prevented a planned naval demonstration, but the weather cleared as the liner docked.
 Princesses Met Parents :. Princesses Elizabeth and Mar garet Rose arrived with their par- ents, having been taken out to sea on 8 destroyer for an affectionate reunion.
 The King, Queen and the prin- cesses were on the bridge as the Empress arrived. They smiled and waved to the crowds and Queen Mary and other members of the royal family waiting at the dock.
 The first question of Their Majes- ties on landing was to ask Queen Mary whether she was fully re- covered from her recent automobile accident. Queen Mary assured them she was feeling well.
 The King wore an admiral's un- dress uniform, the Queen an ice blue dress and hat. with 8 fur wrap.
 The young princesses jumped up and down with excitement and tug ged at the Kings arm when 1t was time to go ashore.
 While the liner was in the Solent, two pages on the ship presented the princesses with two baby Panda dolls with cards on 8 ribbon around their necks reading:
 Best Wishes From Crew
 '.Best wishes from the crew of the Empress of Britain"
 As the liner steamed up the Solent, the royal yacht squardron, and the two cruisers which escorted the Empress across the Atlantic, fired a royal salute of 2l guns.
 From the docks the royal party proceeded through cheering crowds to the civic center, where they were welcomed by Mayor A. H. Cowdrill.
 The only hitch in the great pro- gram of welcome was caused by the rain and fog which prevented the navy from giving an arraigned demonstration.
 So thick was the fog that plans for . salute by a fleet of warships as the liner passed Portland Btl.

DUKE, DUCHESS

Would Like to Visit U. s. But Will First Consult
 King George

Paris, June 22-(UP)-The Duke of Windsor will make no decision to return to Great Britian or visit the United States until he talks to King George by telephone, spokes- man said today.
 The statement was made because of anxiety lest an informal recep- tion which the duke and duchess gave yesterday to American press correspondents be misinterpreted.
 The duke and duchess received the correspondents who made "press view" flight in the new trans-Atlan- tic flying boat Atlantic Clipper.
 They showed plainly their desire to visit the United States when pos- sible.
 The spokesman said today that the duke was eager to talk to his brother as soon as possible and con- graduate him on his Canadian and American tour. .''
 Hopes for No War
 At the reception, the duke said that his only interest in public life was that tbere should be no gem eral war.
 The duke and his American-bern duchess received the correspondents at their home, "A Boulevard Souchet, and served champagne to them.
 For half an hour they chatted animatedly with the newspaper men and women, discussing the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to Canada and the United States. and their own desire to visit America.
 The reception was surprise. Cor were packing their hags for the return flight when they were told that the duke and duchess would like to talk to them. The duke had hurried home from the St. Cloud golf course, after Q quick shower at the club house, for the reception.

By HOMER JENKS United Press Staff C0rrespondent)

(UnlGe0 freSS Stau COFreSpOn0entJ
 Portsmouth, N. H., June 22-(UP) "A voice from the dead brought new confirmation today of the theory that failure of the main engine in- duction valve caused the submarine Squalus disaster.
 Machainist's. Mate Allen c. Bry- son of Greenville, S. C., told naval board of inquiry that, from his sta- tion in the forward battery room, he heard "hazy voice" say over the ships telephone:
 Cry to Take Her Up
 'Take her up. The induction is open."
 Seconds later, he added, a voice said:
 'The engine room is flooded"
 Bryson was unable to identify the speaker, however. All in the engine rooms an dafter torpedo room per- iShed.
 The Squalus sank May g of the Isles of Shoals with loss of 26 lives. Thirty-three men were res- cued.
 Bryson was among the first of the survivors to testify on the fourth day of the inquiry.
 Civilian Survivor Speaks
 Shortly afterward, the only civilian survivor-Harold c. Treble of Ports mouth, a naval architect-told the court that. the Squlaus was the "fin- est submarine ever was on."
 T know that this submarine had fewer difficulties than any submarine I was ever en-" he added. "On the very first trip, I was very much im- pressed on the training of the en- listed personnel"
 Preble, assistant hull and machin- cry superintendent, said he had par ticipated ofhcially in tests on 25 to 27 submarines during his 22 years at Portsmouth navy yard.

 ENTERS HARBOR
BY WELDON JAMES

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, June 22.-(UP)-Ad- miral Harry E. Yarnell, commander of the U. s. Asiatic fleet, today re- jected a Japanese demand that American warships leave Swatow harbor and insisted on complete freedom of action of U. s. naval ves- sels in protecting American natioz1- als in China.
 Yarnell informed the Japanese that, U. s. warships will protect American citizens wherever the need may arise.
 He also sent word to Japanese naval officials that their demand for withdrawal of the U. s. destroyer Pillsbury from Swatow had not re- lieved them from the slightest de- gree of responsibility for damage or injury" to American naval vessels or personnel. z The Pillsbury, commanded by Lieut.. Commander Alva J. Spriggs, 8 World war veteran who wears two
  naval decorations, remained at her Swatow station in defiance of the Japanese demands. And second American destroyer, the U. s. Pope. steamed into the harbor to strengthen the protection of Amer ican nationals.
 Radioed His Report
 Yarnell radioed a report on his actions to Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, from Chingwantao, near Tientsin. He said he acted after the Japanese in- formed him the Japanese navy was beginning operations at Swatow and demanded that foreign nationals and
