The Greek nag will soon fly from
the yellow stucco Colonial mansion
opposite the State Department
known as the Blair House.
King George Of Greece will arrive
June 10 to spend about 10 days in
Washington. and after the tradi-
tional "a hours at the White Hol sc
will move into the Blair House,
which has become the official home
for honored guests of the Nation.
The house has been redecorated
and certain necessary safety meas
ures have been taken to insure un-
eventful sojourns for the Nation S
distinguished foreign guests.
There was a time when the i'm
pending arrival of a crowned head
would have caused state of almost
frantic excitement among the fem

Flocks Of visiting cards would have

no matter how many invitations

Visit of King George of Greece
Promises Little Social Activity
Monarch, Arriving June 10 for Stoy at
BIoir House, Interested in Seeing Army

1t is already known that social
activities in connection with the
visit Of King George will be held at
strict minimum. The dinner at
the White House will be purely off,
cial. There will be one large recep-
ton at the Legation and possibly
one or two small dinners at which
the King will meet political, military
and naval leaders.
Suggestions from prominent Greek
Americans that the King would be
welcome visitor at the gatherings
of their societies have met with the
response that the monarch's time
will be filled with visits to American
training camps and manufacturing
plants.
Unlike the totalitarian states, who
unblushingly used their consular
and doplimatic officers to retard
Americanization and build up ma
tionaistic sentiments among their
nationals In the United States, the
Greeks have always been meticu-
lous in maintaining purely cultural
ties with American citizens of Greek
extraction.

When wiry King George makes
the round of American Army camps
he will see many young Greek
Americans in khaki. Already he
has expressed the hope that he will
be able to see as much Of the Amer

The wish Of the Greek King will
be cheerfully granted by the chief

The prosecution buried all these questions
and doubts under an avalanche of evidence
and some tough questions of their own.
An audit of the affairs of the loan COM
pany started just before Frankns supposed
incineration revealed a shortage Of $4,000.
On the strength of the girls endorsement
of certain checks and of various other papers,
she was charged on seven counts with en-
bezzlement, totalling nearly $4,000. Had
Franklin discovered the alleged embeZzlement
and was that the reason she wanted him
beaten up and. so the State alleged later shot
and burned him up?
On the other hand, had they worked hand
in-glove together in looting the concern?
These were embarrassing questions, but the
defense denied any wrongdoing
There were those who suspected that Miss
O'Keefe had shopped around to find someone
willing, for reasonable consideration, to beat
up her employer in his own interest as well
as hers. 1t was pointed out that it might
have been Franklin's own idea.
Being on the lookout for the attack, such
a powerful man might well have beaten off his
assailant and then used the evidence of the
attack to substantiate the pretense that he
had been robbed of large sum of the COM

the shortage. Or, he might have been will

she could only talk she could break or uphold

pertinent to the whole enigma, will remain
within the limbo Of the Duchess memory.
Helen wanted to take the spaniel with her
to the county Jail but the authorities had had
experience with pets before. A buxom pris-
oner turned out to be not so buxsom when
jaler noticed the insinuating nose of cat
peeping through her blouse. The Sheriffs Of

So Helen went alone. And the Duchess

the County Jail, her platinum curis in a
faultless har-do. lips carefully painted and
cheeks peach-rouged to suit the cell-lighting.
There are doubts in her mind that she will
win another trial and an acquittal.
The police have not forgotten how she
outsmarted them. After SO hours Of almost
continuous grilling and on the edge OF
breakdown, she dramatically gave them the
names of two "accomplices" and promised to
tell everything IL they would give her ten min
utes alone with her mother.
But after the ten minutes she came calmly
out to say that she had nothing more to tell.
1t was just ruse to get legal help. The "ac-
completes" proved 10 be two eminently re-
spectacle citizens who knew nothing of the
case.
