Nassau, Bahamas, Aug. 8.-(UP)-
The Duchess Of Windsor Is to re-
main plain "Your Grace" officially,
and will not be styled your Royal

stay here as wife of the new COVER
nor and commander in chief, it was
learned today.
It has been officially prescribed
that the duke is to be addressed as
His Royal Highness, with a curtsey
from women. But the duchess will
be "Your Grace" like the wife Of
any ordinary British duke, without
the curtSey.
Officially, there is still mystery
regarding the whereabouts of the
duke and it has not even been COM
municated oficially to the Bahamas
government that he has left Lisbon
on his way to take up his duties
as governor.
The first oficial communication
from London on the duke since the
notification of his appointment al
governor came yesterday from the
secretary Of state for the colonies

The duke, the message said, look!
forward with interest to his arriva

Alderman Burton H. Walker to-
day declared that the board Of AID
ermen was within its rights in vot-
ing Monday night in favor Of a six
day week for fremen and directing
the board Of fire commissioners to
make provisions for such a working
schedule. Taking exception to an
editorial In last nights Democrat,
he asserted In communication to-
day that the aldermen had shown
no lack of courtesy, claiming that
the fire board had delayed action
on the matter for months and
needed to be spurred.

which were unfair to the alder
men.
"You state that board courtesy
should be considered in matters
Of this kind. Several months ago
a motion similar to the one passed
Monday night was made by the
writer and withdrawn at Alder
man Shea's request, who stated at
that time that the Fire Board
would have something to report
on this matter in three or four
weeks. At the next meeting Of
the Fire Board. Alderman Shea
not only made this subject a jok-
ing matter but classified me as a
Fire Department Moses for sug-
costing it and at no time since
then has he spoken to the writer
on this subject. If there was
courtesy lacking in this instance
it certainly was not on the part
of the Board of Aldermen.
You state that 1t would seem
that this matter was not being
pigeon-holed but was being worked
out by the proper authorities so
that when the plan was present.
ed for formal adoption no loose
ends would be left to be tied up.
I believe the city boards should
be allowed to function in their
own domain, but only as long as
they function efficiently. At q
meeting of the Fire Board held in
the Baldwin street fire house just
a few days previous to the Alder
manic meeting, the subject Of
time off was discussed for two
hours. At the end of the meeting
the Fire Board was no nearer a
solution than they have been all
summer. Following Monday even
ing's meeting Alderman Shea told
me there were several difficulties
in the way of granting the fire.

ditions the Board of Aldermen has
the right to interfere under pow
ers granted to them by Section
A of the City Charter.
"You speak of increased depart

employees to work a minimum Of
eighty-four hours per week to
keep down departmental costs

Washington, Aug. 8-(UP)-The

some characteristics Of street cor

in Senate debate that he could

About that time Sen. Josh Lee, D.,
Okla, rose to refer to the previous
days debate in which he said he
had construed Hollis references to
Minton to imply that the senator
from Indiana was intoxicated.

Navy Was on the Job
Two and a Half Years.


In the middle of 1899, John w.
Hanes, Undersecretary of the Treas
ury, drafted a plan for it at the re-
quest of the War and Navy Depart
ments.
Nothing happened.
More months passed.
On December 4, 1889, three months
after the outbreak of war in Europe,
a newspaperman put a question to
the Secretary of the Treasury. He
asked:
"As I understand it, in some of
these wartime contracts a company
has to build plant that is good only
for the time it takes to turn out
the order. Then 1t is scrapped.'
Quotes Morgenthau's
Views 10 Months Ago.
And here is what Secretary Nor
genthau replied. I am quoting his
exast words:
Eyes, but he is out of luck as far
as we are concerned on that"
The Secretary then added this
statement-and again am quoting
his exact words:
IF it rested with me as to whether
a fellow would get break because
he had a munitions contract l am
afraid he would fare rather badly"
Now I leave it to you. Does that
look as though the Secretary of the
Treasury favored a change in the
law which would give greater fexi-
bility in writing off emergency in
vestment?"
That was back in December, 1899
What happened then? Nothing.
We come to July 10, 1910. The
President called White House con-
ference, and a statement was issued
saying that it had been unanimously
agreed to provide for this necessary
change in the tax laws.
What happened? Nothing.
Says Roosevelt Shifted
Blame to Congress.
On August 81, 1910, about one year
after the outbreak of the European
war. the President told the press
that he was prevented from throw
ing our defense efforts into gear by
delay on the part of Congress in
passing three measures. One was
a four billion dollar appropriation
bill. Another was the CONSUMPTION
bill
And guess what the third was
1t was the provision to speed up
defense that we have been talk
ing about
So after all the delays in the ad-
ministration the third-term candi-
date put the blame on Congress.
This was at the end Of August
Yet in June the third-term can
didate had told Congress that II
