STRIKE BLAMED
 FOR DE LEO'S MOVE
Former Meadow Street Produce Dealer Goes Out
 of Business

St-iking members of the Truckers and Helpers union and the produce dealers who formerly employed them were at an impasse today over the taking back to work of various of tho strikers.
 The demand for the "closed shop" reportedly has been dropped by the strikers and the matter of wage scale has been adjusted satisfactorily, a dealer told The Democrat today.
 Various of the dealers have re- fused to re-employ some of the strikers, particularly those of the seven involved in assault and breach of the peace charges growing from the beatings administered non- union workers.
 Report today was that at least one produce dealers, DeLeo Bros, formerly located on Meadow street, had gone out of business because of the strike, thereby eliminating em- ployment for three of the strikers. John DeLeo, member of the firm, left for Flordia week ago, giving as one reason for closing out the business the strike of the truckers and helpers.
 Word here is to the effect that leadership ii the union matters has been undertaken at Hartford. Va rious of the employers reported that some of the strikers had sought their jobs back and one dealer has taken back three out of the eight who left his employ, refuses to take back some others.

HUSBAND CAN SLAP HIS WIFE PLENTY
Hard as He Likes If He Doesn't Kill Her, Says
 Judge

Chicago, Feb. 1-(UP)-A ruling of circuit Judge Philip J. Finnegan held today that a man can slap his wife as hard as he wants to as long as he doesn't kill her.
 He made the ruling in Denying Mrs. Mary Kuhar, 21, an attractive blonde, a divorce from her husband, John Kuhar, Jr., a drummer in a dance band. She had asked the di- vorce on the grounds of cruelty, charging he had slapped her twice within period of six days last June because she wouldn't go to a dance
 "The slaps left red marks on my face" he said.
 That wasn't cruelty within the meaning of the law" Finnegan said Cruelty must consist of violence great enough to endanger life. A man has a right to slap his wife as hard as he wants if he doesn't kill her, and if more of them did so there would be fewer divorces. won't grant a divorce on the evil dence I have heard in this case"

ganization which held a dinner honoring the duke in New York re- gently.
 President of the. American or- panization is Mrs. Lewis Stuyve- sant Chanler, at whose home in New York the society was organ ized. The projected dinner is on the anniversary of Edwards accession to the throne, and will De presided over by Mizra Ahmad Sohrab. JUST A
 NICE MAN
 The society disavows any interest in the internal political affairs of any country-in other words, 1t is not back -on- the- throne-with-E Ed ward" movement. The members feel simply that Edward was and is nice fellow, and that it seems shame to insist that he take a back seat simply because he stepped down from the throne.
 In England, the Octavians, or ganized immediately after the ab- dication, now has 50 branches in London, Aberdeen, Bath, Brighton, Croydon, Sheffield, and one across the seas in far New Zealand. Compton Mackenzie, famous nov elist, is 8 member of the general council of the society.
 Six young people meeting in a wine shop during the abdication crisis generated the movement, which was formally organized June 2, 1897, on the eve of the wedding of the duke, with IS members and $3.75 in the treas ury.
 Their firct announcements were mimeographed, and were devoted to fighting the calumny and in- nuendo which were then being flung at the bedeviled duke. To- day the society has a monthly 2-cent paper.
 The Octavians insist on the loyalty to the present king. Theirs is no move to bring Edward back to the throne he left behind him But the Octavians feel that love and loyalty for King George VI can be combined with expression of "the love and admiration which we cherish for Edward of Wind- sor."

 Received at Lincoln House

The American Red Cross Field Director stationed with the Army at the Panama Canal Zone was sent with the planes to the scene of the disaster.

 Frank Mazzalupo, secretary treas urer of the Barbers' union local, .732, followed the initial speaker by giving report on members gained during the joint drive and every one present was pleased over the results, because everyone is antici- pating shorter hours during the summer months.
 Tata Present

 "Windsor Tapestry" and a lead
 ing member of the Octavians. national unity is needed, the duke could be with the rest of the royal family. Insisting on their complete loyalty to George VI, the Octavians raise the point that coldness or in- difference to his own brother can scarcely be pleasing to the king.
 Tie Octavians even look ahead to some strange potential crisis which they hesitate to put into words, but suggest as follows:
 "There is another feature which has so far been overlooked. The constitutional crisis of 1886 came suddenly. What happened once, might happen again.
 Suppose that some point of dis pute between King George and his advisers provoked fresh crisis, another abdication.
 Are we to suppose it would be the Iuty of the ministers to make use of Prir cess Elizabeth in order to humiliate her own father? Such a suggestion would be intolerable, but 1t is a logical deduction from the premise that once monarch abdicates, he must be treated as a rival and enemy by his success sor."
