YugOsIava's Boy King, Peter, Will Mix Real ''RubbernecIing" With State Duties In Capital
ny RnR. RUARK

NEA Service stan Correspondent
 Washington, June 26. = A king Inc nice casual kind at which even he lcwliest cat can take a gander, coming to town soon, and the oils who are arranging the visit re trying to keep it as low-press- ared as possible.
 This newes figure in Washing on's cavalcade of royalty is young Peter of Yugoslavia, and by all accounts he is Q nice quiet kid with very little kingiy stufhness dl his shirt. He likes fast cars, 3aggy pants and American fiction, particularly stories about the Broadway mob"
 HAS A PASSION
 FOR MACHINERY
 The boy has passion for ma chinery, which will be gratified when he leaves for Detroit to in- spect plane manufacture. He's also due to see shipyards and armaments in the making. { Despite busy afternoons of run- ming his government from it's present seat in London, King Peter has managed to live & fairly normal life. He has been attend- ing Cambridge, studying eco- monies and international law. According to reports, his Cam bridge life has been much like that of the average wealthy stu dent. He pulls decent oar in the crew, and takes considerable interest in football He speaks excellent English heavily marked with Broadwayese.
 He's a self-sufflcient kid, poised and with little regard for protocol Tn Washington, young Peter will have to put up with some diplo- matic stiffness, of course. He will have to shake hands with lot of Congressmen, doubtless, and dine with the usual number of Cabi- net members. But his fortnight in America will be speckled with enough pure interest to satisfy his youthful yen to break loose from business and be pure Washing ton rubberneck.
 TOUR INCLUDES
 SEEING BALL GAME
 They're fixing 1t for him to slip down to Washingtons Ellipse to see e sandlot baseball game, and maybe take a couple of cuts at the ball himself. They're taking him sightseeing over to Annapolis, up to West Point and to the Marine base at Quantico. He'll be on hand when e fresh batch of draftees is tnducted at one of the nearby Army camps. He's going up in the Washington Monument and they're taking him to Mt. Vernon, just like a visiting schoolmarm.
 POter's state duties may be fun, at that. He's having dinner with the President, and he's also eat- ing with Frank Knox on the Naval Secretary's yacht. He'll speak to Congress = which is interesting, because the young king has never seen his own parliament. After his father was assassinated, Peter

RICHMOND, Va, April 2s.-vir-
ginias garden week, traditionally
held during the last week in April,
has been Cancelled this year, but
there are so many historic homes
and gardens which are open In Vir-
ginia that estate and garden lovers
viii find that visit to the Old

will yield many pleasant memories.
Abolition of garden week means
only that the privately owned estates
are not available for public visi-
tation. The so-called "always-open"
shrines and gardens will be open as
usual-and, what is more important,
visitors need not feel the necessity
Of visiting them during Just one
week. They will be profuse with
colorful flowers and shrubs during
much of the spring and summer.
Outstanding among the always
open" gardens are those of the Will
lamsburg Restoration, and special
mention should be made of the gar

This park was formerly the estate

of Richmond to be maintained in
perpetuity as a garden park.
Two Types of Gardens.
Two entirely different types of
gardens pleased the fancy of Maj.

Ghosts OF glamorous past haunt
the Virginia countryside. Straight,
smooth highways. f1anked by his
toric markers, carry the visitor past
famous battlefelds of the Ameri-
can Revolution and the War Between
the States, past pillared mansions
of the Colonial era and the old
South, through forests which echoed
centuries ago to the footsteps of
Pocahontas and the trumpetings of
the knights of the Golden Horse
shoe, to storied land.
Here is the State where English
civilization first took permanent root
in the new world; which gave to
America George Washington, Pat
rick Henry and Thomas Jefferson,
"the sword. the tongue and the pen
of the revolution; where CORVALLIS
surrendered and independence was
won; where the army of Northern
Virginia laid down Its arms after
four years of carnage-the native
State of eight Presidents.
Here Is the birthplace Of George
Mason, whose Bill of Rights is the
charter of American Liberty; the
birthplace of James Madison, father
of the Constitution; the birthplace
of James Monroe, whose Monroe
Doctrine was long the cornerstone of
American foreign policy; the birth
place of Sam Houston, who ham
nered out the Republic Of Texas on
the anvil of war; the birthplace of
Robert E. Lee, generalissimo of the
Southern armies in their desperate
bid for Independence; the birth
place of Woodrow Wilson, who led
America successfully through a
mighty war.
battle-ground Of Centuries
There Is the shade of swashbuck-
ling Nathaniel Bacon, the intrepid
leader of the Virginia colonists
against British tyranny in Bacon's
Rebellion a hundred years before
the. Revolution. There is the phan-
tom of giant Jack" Jouett, riding
hell for leather once more in the
moonlight, 40 miles from Cockoo
Tavern to Monticello, to warn Gov.
Jefferson and the Legislature in the
nick of time that the British are
coming. There are the ghosts of
daring ''Stonewan jackson leading
his foot cavalry" into action, and
of dashing "Jeb" Stuart, his jaunty
panache the orif1ame of battle.
There is the Skyline Drive, one of
the great scenic wonders of the
world, which winds along the spine
of the Blue Ridge for los miles at
an average height OF 5000 feet above
sea level, the chief 1odestone in the
great Shenandoah National Park.
Gorgeous at any season, the drive
is especially beautiful in the spring
and summer.
The newest OF all the national
parks, Shenandoah already has as
many visitors as any of them.
Ninety miles long and 10 miles wide,
the park is dotted and criss- crossed
by camp sites. trout streams, bride
paths and hiker trails so anuring
to lovers of the out-of doors.
