APP FEATURE SERVICE

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-When the
Duke and Duchess of Windsor go
out separately of an afternoon, the
Duchess rides in the Windsor
number one, conditioned limcu-
sine. with the royal insignia on
the door, while the Duke takes the
number two car minus -condi-
tioning.
With the Duchess goes Sgt.
Harry Holder, the man Scotland
Yard sent over from England to
guard the person of the Duke
while his royal highness goes out
unguarded, or with only such
guards as are available wherever
he happens to be.
This state of affairs is only one
of the many many indications that
the former Wallis Warfield is still

who gave up a throne five years
ago in order to marry her
You need only to be in the same
room with the Windsors for a lit
tie while to find soothing answers
to the anxious questions in the
hearts of people who still regard
these two as the embodiment Of
romance.

High School Rally Thrills
Crowd in Closing Minutes
-EIks Quintet Dumped

Preseason hoop clashes between
Channel League hoop teams In the
high school gym last night saw
Henning's quintet stave off a last
minute rally by the Crimson Bears
for a 47-45 victory in the opening
game, while the Juneau Firemen
knocked over the Elks in slow
game, 1919.
A seesaw battle all the way, the
first game stood at 45-39 when the
high school team started flash
ing attack, led by Don Murphy,
who dumped three quick ones
while the crowd went wild. But
the final whistle saved the game
for the Hennings.
Pete (Wrong-Wa Gilmore, so
busy being sore at the referee he
didn't know which way he was
going, colored the fourth quarter
by sharing the tip-off and looping
two points through the cords of
the high school basket. He also
found time to score nine points
for his own team.
Murphy led the Crimson Bear
scorers with 10 points, followed by
Johnny Bavard with IA Cragins

to a single point in the opening

love him? Are they happy?
Or is he sorry he gave up the

him of the great error of his life?

Are you comfortable, dear?
Is it too stuffy in here for

At the New York reception
where the press was invited to
meet the Windsors, said to
the Duchess:
you have acquired very lit

you say underground or sub

The Duke answered for her:
''Sie says subway, of course.
Her speech isn't British, it's
Maryland, and very pleasant
too, don't you Think"
At every turn Of their compli-
Gated New York schedule, Edward
was constantly solicitous for his
wife. His every word, look and
sign pays compliments to her.
You get the feeling that from
Lis point of view it's not what he
gave up for her that matters. but
what she gave up for him. For by
marrying the Duke of Windsor she
has lost the privileges of private

subjected to public scrutiny and
criticism. She cannot even buy a
hat without precipitating a public
controversy over whether she paid
too much or too little for it.
If she bought her clothes in bar

the public would say, How stingy
with all the money she must have.
She's setting a bad example to
other rich womeni Doesn't she
realize her obligation to support
the finest designers of hats and
gowns?"
But if she pays top prices the
public, or a carping portion of it,
objects, Look at her throwing
away money, and here they ask
me to give to British war relief"
The Duke demands for her
the utmost respect. Many peO-
pie address her as "Your Roy

lieve the Duke wants them to.
Legally of course she Is not en-
titled to the Royal designa-

British cabinet refused to raise
her to the rank Of royalty.

second letter, addressed TO Her
Royal Highness, got a prompt

Roosevelt's expanded north Atlan-
tic patrol. That is, that the Amerl-
can patrol vessels shall convoy lile
Axis raiders" rather than convoy
munitions Laden vessels in the Brit
ish life line. Asked at a recent
press conference what patrol YES
sci should do if it encountered an
Axis warship attacking merchant
ship. Mr.. Roosevelt said the IN
structions were to radio him for
orders.
Congressional discussion OF the
convoy problem has subsidized ior
the time being but is likely to de-
yelop again Monday when Republi-
cans in the house plan to attack
administration legislation to author
ize Mr.. Roosevelt to requisition for
eign shipping in American ports. j.,
House isolationists are talking OF
potential amendments which Woulo
prevent transfer to Great Britain
of Danish, German or Italian ships
seized in our ports, but congress
sional leaders believe the bill would
go through the house substantially
as Mr.. Roosevelts wants it.
Sen. Charles w. Tobey, R., N. H..
intends to offer to the ship seizure
bill an amendment which Woulo
forbid the use of the navy on con-
vo; duty. There is no indication,
however, that he will be able to OBJ
tain adoption of such a proposal
which, in effect. would be a vote
of mis- confidence in the admins
tration.
Meantime, the plan to place 25
tanKers Immediately at the disposa.
of the maritime commission for
service to Great Britain has been
checked for a few days. The plan
is complete and has been put in
writing but the ship now are not
expected to be made available to
the British before the middle of
next week or later When the first
25 tankers have been selected and
assigned, the commission and the
shipping industry will undertake
immediately to designate 25 more
for identical service.
The ships are expected to tran
sport oil to a western hemisphere
port for transfer to British ships
for the transatlantic voyage, there
by easing the demands on the Brit
ish tanker fleet. Operating in west :
ern hemisphere waters, it is under
stood the tankers will fly the Amer
ican flag and carry American crews
Coincident with these moves tc
aid Great Britain, congressional
source predicted that the supply
of American airplanes shortly would
exceed the British supply of air
personnel.
"If Great Britain is TO use the
full volume of American produc-
ton" this congressman said, "one
thing is leans will be

SRA Faces Crisis
In Appropriation

LOS ANGELES. May 3 CUP) -
The state relief administration to-
DAY faced suspension of operations
by May 10 unless the legislature
grants an emergency appropriation
before that time. according to
Ralph J. Wakefield, SRA director.
Wakefield said he had asked Gov.
Culbert Olson to request an ap-
preparation Of S3.250,0OO for relief
administration through the fiscal
year ending next June 80.
The current case load of $4,000
is 10000 under the mid-winter peak
and has been decreasing steadily
Wakefield said. The high was
reached in January, but national
defense industries and federal works
programs have absorbed much of
the load, he said.

German Consular
Attache Balks

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 CUP)-
Hans Won Bernhard, commercial
attache to the German consulate
general in San Francisco, has re-
signed his post rather than obey
an order from Berlin transferring
him to Japan the San Francisco
Chronicle said today.
Won Bernhard, a 37-year- Ger
man-born engineer, confirmed he
had severed all connections with
the German diplomatic service, the
Chronicle said, but declined to re-
veal his reasons. He said he hoped
to establish himself again in foreign
trade, which he gave up to accept
service in the consulate in De-
cember, 1888.
Close friends with whom Won
Bernhard took counsel when he first
was ordered to japan on March 13
said he was fed up with the whole
business and during the past year
had protested against carrying out
some of the instructions received
by the consulate from Berlin"
