Royal Couple Given Great Welcome When Arrive
 dt Miami This Day

MIAMI, Florida, Dec. 10. The Duchess of Windsor, looking smart and chipper despite seriously in- fected tooth arrived here today with the Duke for major dental opera ton.
 The Duke and his American born Duchess, arrived aboard the yacht Southern Cross and went through the formalities of being received as dignitaries and then talking freely with the newsmen before they sped to the St. Francis Hospital for pre- liminary X-ray.
 A crowd that taxed the police lines blocked traffic on Biscayne Boulevard to get glimpse of the royal couple.
 Answering questions as to how the Duchess was feeling, the Duke com mented, smilingly: T think her ap- pearance here answers that"
 The Duke declined to discuss the British war, and remarked
 T was formerly a free lance, as you neWsmen say, but after all, am an official of the government now"
 Both the Duke and Duchess seem e' thrilled at being on American soil.

 The building is joint Federal and Territorial project.

NEW DEAL THORN WHO ROSE TO POWER, THAT
 |5 SEN. W. F. GEORGE
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-To his colleagues in the Senate, he's the gentleman from Georgia; to a lot of politicians, he's the "mys- tery man of politics.; to persons whose memories are short, he's that euphonious delight, George of Georgia"
 As recently as two years ago, he was thorn in the side of the New Deal; but in official Washington today and probably in the impor- tant news dispatches for many days to come, he is and will be spotlighted from coast to coast as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 Sen. Walter F. George. unsensa- tional, aloof, statesman of old school politics. is, at one and the same time, the most difficult and the easiest man in the Senate to write about.
 Most difficult, because he has always skirted the rim of anecdotal activities that give, in para graph, the nature of the man. Easiest, because from youth he has pursued a course that is al- most completely barren of those inexplicable Inconsistencies which inexplicable inconsistencies which the column biographer must brush aside or build from molehills into mountains.

 HcW this may be done is now the most vital question before the White House and State Depart ment.
 To understand the role which the United States may or may not play in tipping this balance, one must look back on the history of this war.

IN SENATE SINCE 1922


 Senator George came to the Senate in 1922. He could have come few months earlier than he did but with a gesture of Georgian courtesy, he bowed out of the pie ture following the death of Sen Thomas E. Watson in order that Mrs. Rebecca L. Felton, an elderly and distinguished lady in the state, might have the honor of being the first of her sex to sit in the uppe1 house of Congress.
 Soon after, in an election Mrs. F'elton did not enter, he dumb founded the states politicians by walking away with the vote dumbfounded them because al- though he had held judgships in the state for Is years, he was not even thought of as politician or a man capable of piling up votes in the hurly-burly of a southern senatorial race.
 With the same quiet persuasive ness that he used then and a fac ulty for making influential friends in every hamlet and city in his bailiwick, Senator George has been reelected with tick-tock regularity even in 1888, when (because Of his devastating attack on the Su- preme Court revision plan) he was slated by the New Deal and Presi- dent Roosevelt, himself. for the purge"

 The British forces, Churchill said, have reached the Mediterranean Sea coast between Sidi Barrani and Buq- buq, 35 miles west of Sidi Barrani and about midway between Sidi Bar rani and the Lybian Egyptian bor- der.
 Looks Like Cut Off
 Churchill declined to say speci- ficaly whether the Italian army has been cut off but the arrival of the British troops on the sea coast indi- cates the main Fascist armies are in danger of being isolated.
 Churchill said it is too early to forecast the scope or the result OI the British offensive in Egypt but we can say at any rate the pre- liminary phase is successful
 Italians Captured
 The British African Commands communique issued this afternoon reports the British have captured 4,000 Italian soldiers in the drive on the westen Egyptian desert. This indicates that either the offensive has been started on huge scale or there is a larger British concentra- tion of forces ready for action or the F'ascist-E Egyptian forces are sur rendering in wholesale numbers.
 Italian dispatches said 10 Italian planes attacked British mechan- ized column of 90 machines in a sandstorm south of Sidi Barrani, but gave no indication of more than small scale fighting along the des- ent front 7.

Foreign Once has issued an ofiicial
denial that Foreign Minister Yosuke
Matsuoka threatened war against
the United States If the latter
nation insists on maintenance of
the status quo in the Pacific.
In dispatches published by some
newspapers in the United States last
Friday, Matsuoka was quoted as
saying that, if the United States
'in her contentment is going to
blindly and stubbornly stick to the
status quo in the Pacific then we will
fight America"
Yakichiro Suma, Foreign once
spokesman, issued a written state
ment saying such an interview had
not been given. The statement con-
tinued:
"Matsuoka, however, saw a con-
tributor to Liberty Magazine on
October 3. On that occasion Matsuoka
commented on the three-power pact
(among Japan, Germany and italy,
saying that tile treaty speaks for
itself
"MatSuoka stated further that
Japan would have to fight America
if she should enter the European
war on the side of Britain, but that
such an eventuality was what I
shudder even to think Of"
Suma said that the version pub
lished in the United States ap-
parently was "a garbled version of
this interview"
