pldClllS JOG 1lSW, VIII Ut while the Assistant Secretary for Latin America, replacing Nelson Rockefeller, will be Norman Ar mour, now U. s. Ambassador to Spain.
 The promotion of Braden to be Under Secretary will be direct slap at the Argentines, where crowds have been bOOing Braden and hand bills have been posted all over Buenos Aires de- nouncing him because of an ac- cident in the Braden Copper Mines in Chile.
 Braden is a political diplomat with plenty of career experience. He worked on the fringes of the old Roosevelt Brain Trust in 1882, and FDR considered appointing him Ambassador to Chile in 1883. However, there was too much re- sentiment from Chilean labor be- cause of Braden's heavy copper interests there and he was given one of the hardest diplomatic jobs in the Western Hemisphere instead. He was made diplo- matic trouble-shooter to iron out the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, and other truobles in the Western Hemisphere. La ter, Braden became ambassador to Colombia and Cuba where he did an Al job.
 Norman Armour, slated to Suc- ceed Nelson Rockefeller, is one of the outstanding career diplo- mats, having been Ambassador to Argentina and Chile, and Minister to Canada and Haiti. When Bra den leaves Argentina as ambassa- dor, his post will not be filled a slap at the Argentina fascists, and also indirectly at the State Department group who rushed us into Argentine recognition at San Francisco.
 ENGLAND'S EX-KING
 There were half a dozen empty chairs last week as Hugh Fulton, former counsel for the Truman Committee, hosted a luncheon in Washington's swank Hotel Statler for the Duke of Windsor. Full ton, whose New York law firm represents the Dukes interests in this country, had invited small group of high Washington of ficialS and the entire membership of the Mead Committee (formerly the Truman Committed at the Dukes special request.
 Half a dozen busy Senators found time to rush to the Statler for the luncheon, which they de- scribed as a pleasant affair with TO particular political signifi- canoe.
 High spot of the luncheon was furnished by Wyoming's Senator Joe O'Mahoney, who produced a letter from an Epis- cOpalian minister in his state. The letter related the plight of an Englishman who had mar ried an American woman and settled in Wyoming. The Eng lishman now wants to be ma turalized, the minister wrote, but is running into difficulty be- cause his wife is determined to press charges of assault against him.
 If he didn't beat his wife, he should have, the minister wrote OMahoney.
 The letter was shown to the Duke. who remarked:
 "T can testify that the Church
 of England Is peculiar about domestic life. Here is a minister of the Church in apparent ap- proval of domestic disharmony. Yet when I decided to marry. the Church of England insisted tht I step down as King be- cause my wife-to-be had been divorced.
 "The amusing thing Co me-" continued the former King of England, lis that the Church of England was originally found- cd by Henry VIII in order t0 provide clerical sanction for his several divorces."
 N0TE-King Henry VIII had six wives.
