To See Windsor
BY the Associated Press


LONDON, Oct. g. Crowds of
screaming women fought with police
and trampled one another today for
a glimpse of the Duke of Windsor as
he arrived at Marlborough House to
visit his mother, Dowager Queen
Mary, for the first time in nine
years.
The car bearing the former King,
who abdicated in 1886 for 1.-The wom-
an I love-" was stopped twice by the
crowd in less than SO yards as it ap-
preached the Queen mothers home.
At least two husky boobies were
knocked down. A number of women
fell and were trampled by others
jamrning forward, craning their
necks, waving handkerchiefs and
yelling at the former ruler.
Many women shouted, 1--WE want
YOU back" Others yelled Good old
Edward" and Long live the Duke of
Windsor The Duke, wearing a
light suit and hatless, smiled and
waved
The Duke left his Duchess, the
former Wallis Warfield Simpson of
Baltimore, in Paris.

King George, who returned from
holiday in Scotland only yester-
day morning, dined with his mother
and the Duke at Marlborough House
last night. That was the first meet
ing of the brothers since one after
noon late in September, 1889, when
the Duke had tea at the palace.

8 on Manhattan Project Offer
Shotter Bomb Defense Claim
Guarantee to Work
While Crosby Men
Attempt Explosion
Ry the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Eight scien-
lists who worked on the University
of Chicago's atomic bomb project
today stood ready to work at our
laboratory benches while Mr..
Crosby's scientist attempts to ex-
plode us" in an effort to disprove
a claim by the Crosby Foundation
that 1t had discovered a defense
against the atomic bomb.
The claim of defense was pub
hshed Monday by Larry Crosby,
brother of Bing Crosby, as president
Of the Crosby Foundation, Holly
wood, Calf. Mr.. Crosby said the
defense technique was so simple
that atomic bombs could be de-
tonated without even knowing the
exact whereabouts of the bomb.
The Chicagoans, repeating their
assertion that there Is no defense
against the atomic bomb," said In a
statement:
The recent claim of the Crosby
Research Foundation to have found
defense against the atomic bomb
is as preposterous as the founda-
tion's previous claim to have set of
an atomic explosion with a piece of
material the size of pea.
"* The whole Crosby Foun-
dation claim shows such an igno-
rance of the elementary facts Of
nuclear physics that the scientists
of the project would he inclined IN
laugh the claim off as a joke were 1t
not for the harmful influence such q
statement could have on our Ma
tons thinking.
Mr.. Larry Crosby says a scientist
has convinced me that there is a
defense for the atomic bomb But
Mr.. Crosby doesn't have the scien-
tific qualifications to be convinced
in these matters.
The whole group of us volunteer
to pay our way to any site Mr.. Cros-
by suggests to question this scientist
and further we volunteer to work at
our laboratory benches while Mr..
Crosbys scientist attempts to ex-
plode us at our work"
