II replied I was at his disposal,
but I could not guarantee the moon.
I was told that he would be up at

German Guide Recalls
Visits of Mark Twain
And Duke Of Windsor
By Goult MacGowon
North American Newspaper Aliionce

HEIDELBERG. Philip Mach
ling, 73, the white-muStachioed
guide to the venerable but ruined
old castle here-beloved OF many
generations OF American visitors
still Is alive and functioning with
ready wit and "reminiscences Of
Mark Twain, the Duke of Windsor
and other celebrities.
Mark Twain" Phillip says, was
the grandpappy Of all CTS who dis
stributed candy and chewing gum
among German boys and girls.
When he was staying at the Schloss
Hotel here to write his 'Innocents
Abroad he always took with him
chocolates and other sweets to dis
tribute to village children on his
walks abroad to gather material for
his book. Mark Twain used to pre-
tend he knew only one or two words
Of German such as every tourist
picks UP, but actually he spoke it
as we'll as I do"
He recollects that some years ago
the proprietor Of the Schloss Hotel
asked him What am I going to
do, Philip? I am losing custom
because I cannot put every one to
sleep in Mark Twain's old bedroom
No. 40, you know, the one with his
picture in. Unless they can have
his room, they go somewhere
cheaper"
Problem Easily Solved.
THAT is no problem" Philipp
saws he told him. Just have lot
Of copies of his picture made and
renumber all your rooms 40! That
will make them all happy"
The Schloss Hotel is now requi-
sffioned for high American officials
Room 40 is strictly reserved for gen.
erals
The old castle-"The Schloss" IT.
.self-is by way Of being an ances-
tral palace of the later kings of
England.
Lots of members of the British
royal family have been over here
to see it. They all know me-" says
Philipp, "and when the present
King was crowned I was invited to
the coronation. They put me in one
of London's best hotels, the Carlton,
but I found I was the only white
man staying there. How was that?
Every one else was an Indian
rajah"
According to Philipp-who knows
all, and lots of it unprintable-
British royal interest in the old
castle dates from the medieval
period when the monarchs of the
Rhineland Palatinate lived here, one
Of whom, Frederick v, who also was
king of Bohemia, married Elizabeth.
daughter of James I of England.
Through this marriage, when Eng

established.

Diamond State Has
Added $1,000 Phones
continued from nrst pase1

During this same period, he de-
clared, new applications for tele-
phone service have continued to
pour in-also in record breaking
numbers. Today, despite the addi-
tion of 21 900 new telephones, there
are still 1000 applications on the
company's waiting list in the State.
Fortunately he said, "the wait
ing time is becoming shorter and
shorter"
One of the ways in which the tele-
phone company has been able to
provide service for so many per-
sons is by the greatly increased use
of party-lines. This has enabled the
company to provide telephones for
two or more subscribers where only
one could be served on an individ-
ual line basis, he pointed out.
1--WE realize that thousands OF
these party-line subscribers prefer
individual line service" he said.
But there is an equal number of
persons who would have no service
at all if it were not for party lines
AS soon as we can obtain and in
stall sufficient central Office equip
ment and other facilities, we will
again be able to give an individual
line to everyone who wants one."
Donald M. Huber, district man.
ager, was chairman of the meeting
which concluded with refreshments
entertainment and dancing.

Anderson's plea for unlimited au-

commodity markets ran into inn
mediate opposition. Senator Taft
(R-Ohio), chairman of the joint
committee, said he does not like the
idea of 100 percent margins, which

ment at the Dover plant was the
direct cause of the hurried action
by Dover City Council after appli-
cation was made to the power COM
pany for relief following the
breakdown and the question of a

A few weeks ago Dover City
Council submitted a proposal to
the Latex concern whereby all of
their power requirements would be
supplied by the power company
but the Latex officials demanded a
standby service that city officials
felt could not be met at this time.
Accordingly the Latex concern
arranged to purchase their own
equipment sufficient to produce the
standby supply they felt was need
ed and, according to the concerns
officials, they may purchase addi.
tional equipment to supply all Of

The l. C. c. official presented ma
ny interesting statistics in support
of the facts and views he expressed.
In one instance, he cited the fact
that, according to the present ratio,
two out of every three children
born today stand to become involved
in one or more major automotive
accidents during the individual
child's life span. Mr.. Burnette
urged civic-minded organizations,
such as the Lions Clubs, to extend
every effort towards improving
traffic conditions in city and state.
In responding to the speaker,
president Butler of the Milford
Lions Club promised that the local
club membership would do every
thing possible to cut down on the
accident toll here in Milford and
pointed out that the health and well
fare committee of the Milford Lions
Club recently completed a survey
of conditions here in the area and,
on basis Of its findings, were pass

the increased exemptions, and
Knutson conceded they might be
written into the bill when it
reaches the Senate"
Knutson plans to add himself a
provision for nation wide applica
ton of the community property
principle, allowing husbands and
wives to divide the family income
equally for tax reporting purposes.
Now applicable in 13 states by To-
cal law, this results in lower taxes
for many people.
Bridges Offers Bill
A bill to eliminate present in
equalities between community and
non-community property states in
federal taxation was introduced by
Senator Bridges (R-NH), chairman
of the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
Bridges said his measure goes
farther than previous bills on COM
munity property taxation in that ii
includes provisions for equalizing
present estate and gift tax statutes
as well as income tax laws.
The bill is not designed. to amend
possible tax reduction legislation
but calls for repeal and revision OF
specific sections of the Internal
Revenue Code. 1t follows closely
Bridges said, proposals by the
American Bar Associations com.
mittee on taxation and will have
the effect of substantially reducing
taxes on all married persons.
A new showdown on tax reduc
tion has been put off by the Repub
lican leadership until January.
Representative Forand ORD, {
ways and means committee mem
ber, told reporters, "If we are go
ing to have tax reduction, the fair
est way would be to increase tn,
personal exemption"
Representative Engel (R-Mich
said he is working on a bill to ad
just exemptions so as to give tn,
greatest tax relief to the lowest in
comes. He is working on a specia
