return to England with her peace proposals. Sir William flew back to New York. But after that nothing happened; the peace proposals apparently fell flat.
 It was shortly after this that the Justice Department moved to deport Princess HOhenlO6e.- It was at that time also that
 she suddenly became ill An overdose of sleeping powder was reported to be the, reason, and Public Health Service doc
 tors called it "hysteria,"..
 NO ONE WATCHES PRINCESS
 For some time, Immigration officials of the Justice Depart ment dallied over. hersfuture. Fi- nally Lemuela Schofleld, chief of the Immigration and Naturaliza- ton Service, went to San Fran- cisco and spent several days in- terviewing the lady. In the end, he wrote 8 long report on her activities, and the order for her deportation was rescinded.
 However, Schofield has never shown his report to members of the Federal Bureau Of Investiga- tion. Although they are under the same roof, and both are bossed by the Attorney General, Schof1sld operates his own in veStigation service and makes little effort to correlate his ac- tivities with the Streamlined or ganization of J. Edgar Hoover. Whenever Hooyer's men ask for the report on Princess Hohen- lohe, thye get the reply, Tt hasn't been transcribed yet"
 Today, the Princess, rec0F-
 cred in health immediately aft-
 CT the deportation order was
 dropped, is free to do what ever she pleaSes in California.
 Despite her past, the Immigra- tion Service Is keeping no spe-
 cial eye on her.
 MERRY COL ROUND
 Lord Halifax knows his way around at a fox hunt, but he will never win any prizes as dy- mamie executive. The high born Briton ,dislikes telephones so much that he rarely uses them to transact even urgent business, sending instead written memos and letters. Matters that have to pass through his hands pro- ceed at snail's pace. It was an ironic spectacle when Con- gress barred Benjamin Lasser, former head of the Workers AL liance, from the WPA rolls on the ground that he was a leftist. Lasser quit the Alliance because he was unable to wrest 1t from Red control, and Konlmies were in the galleries appluading the legislative ban against him. ...

 Uncle Sam intends to use the '.DX,ers' as auxiliary listening posts to identify and record fcr- eign propaganda broadcasts. The amateur dial-twirlers are con- stantly on the lookout for new invaders of the airWayeS, and have been quick to report suspici- ous broadcasts.
