Aids Subs in Atlantic

"How press news radio
broadcast about weather aided
operation OF enemy submarines
on the Atlantic Coast was re-
vealed today by the navy de-
partment," the memorandum
stated.
THE commanding officer Of a
naval base in the Atlantic heard
a news weather broadcast spe-
officially mention sub-freezing
weather In the Dakotas and a
temperature of 8 degrees below
zero at Duluth, points remote
from the coast and apparently
not concerned with naval or
military operations.
Being weather-wise. the COM
manding officer Immediately con-
cluded that i'm few days hence
his patrol area would have n
clear day or two with high visi-
bility and conditions ideal for
enemy submarine attack.

ton was to enjoy life and to make it miser-
able for relatives"
His first scrape in this country concerned
the sale OF the famous Napoleon necklace. APP
praised at S5000 600 This precious jewel was
given by the French emperor TO his Austrian
wife Marie Louise, and was, for more than
hundred years, owned by the Hapsburgs.
II was offered for sale by Leopold acting
on behalf OF the Archduchess Maria Theresa
a New York jeweler bought it for 100000 OF
this sum, it was alleged that only 81 600 was
sent to the legitimate owner the Archduchess,
whereas the rest was divided between Leopold
and his agent Leopold was indicted and later
acquitted by New York jury the charge
of fraudulent sale. The necklace was later
rebought by the Hapsburgs
Leopold then joined up with hop and
barley merchant in Vienna and for permission
to establish new firm under the high sound
ing name of "Hapsburg and Menkes," was
granted large sum of money.
With this money he went TO America to
become movie star. But Hollywood turned
thumbs down his jutting Hapsburg chin
II was all right with Leopold, who. meanwhile,
had met and become engaged to wealthy Mrs
Alice Cobun Gibson, OF New York.
But Leopold was reminded that he was
already married TO Croatian Baroness from
whom he had obtained a separation but not
divorce So he returned TO Europe without
Mrs Coburn. who had to abandon all hope
Of becoming an Archduchess.
In Paris where he tried 10 settle down,
His Imperial Highncss had difficult time
srbsisting a Hapsburg is trained to COM
mand not 10 take orders An Archdukc
knows how 90 look smart m uniform and
how TO click his heels IN the correct Cont
mental manner. but he would never soil his
immaculate hands with the sordid business
of earning a living
But Archdule Leopold is thoroughbred
Of another color. He is as sharp as a tack
and as cool as a cellar. He knew that bona
fide title and charming manners often make
a guest perfect. So he made career out Of
being entertained accepting weekend invita-
tons from the lowly born
This a good system while II worked.
because in Europe a Weekend often lasts from
Thursday 10 Tuesday and n guest eats
enough he can fast over Wednesday
His favorte Weekend hanEout was

was occupied by Arthur ]. Moulton, one of
the richest men in what's left of the world,
and his lovely wife, Olga.
Leopold was invited for a weekend and
stayed two years. He became as much of
fixture as the plumbing.
The food was good and the service was
excellent. There was no reason for Leopold
to leave. When his clothes wore out his host
thoughtfully provided him with others. He
bought him cigarettes and liquor. No
host could do more than that.
But all good things come to an end, and
having lived on Mr. Moulton's bounty for two
years the perpetual guest could hardly refuse
to testify in his favor when he wanted TO shed
his wife.
The court battle embarrassed Leopold be.
cause under the lawyers cross-eXamination,
he had to snitch on his hostess
The divorce was not a tale of kissing and
telling No Hapsburg would ever do that 1t
was a question of eating and tattling, and
Hapsburgs have often done that
The battle began when Mrs Moulton tossed
in the ring a request for alimony in ransom
amounts All she wanted was fifty thousand
smackers a year When a man fOrgets a
woman there Is no reminder like alimony.
That is when Arthur, her spouse, began
TO corral witnesses and Leopods evidence
kept the courtroom in gusts Of laughter for
days and weeks.
He stated that his hostess had frequently
become intoxicated and that she would tell all
about her guests who must have had their
ears pinned back
olga i'm her cups, he said, once insisted
that there was ghost IN the house Whether
or not it was the Hapsburg family ghost
which keeps an eye on Archdukes. Leopold
didn't say
His testimony practically ruined his career
as a Weekend guest. With his meal ticket
gone. Leopold once more returned to the
United States his dignity unruffled
In this country Leopold found that a week
end lasted from Friday night TO Monday morn
ing and the rest OF the week guest was on
his own The invitations were scarce and
Leopold had TO eat
Then he seems 90 have thought. with
cousinly affection of Otto, who was living
in luxury at swank New York hotel He
decided that for the sake Of the family Otto
should come across.
Otto dd-twice,
Twice was enough for Otto But not
enough for Leopold Hence the suit
