GAY DECEIVER UN-
MASKED-When LADY Susan
ma Carolina Matilda" suavely
passed herself off as the sister
of King George III of England
in Wilmington society back IN
1772, one of the props that lent
credence to her masquerade
was the ownership of a few roy
al jewels that bore unmistakable
evidence of being genuine. The
fact that she wore only a few
was considered to be evidence
of her modesty and charming
good taste.
To the hostesses who were in
such an enviable position as to
be counted among her close
friends and confidants. she pri-
vately exhibited a picture OF
Her Majesty, the Queen OF Eng
land. Her circle Of influential
friends and wealthy benefactors
was wide when she disappeared
from Wilmington quietly on a
December night to be seen here
no more.
In Charleston a notice of the
missing picture Of Her Highness
proved to be the undoing of
"Lady Susanna" who was I'm
masked as plain Sarah Wilson,

In the service Of the Queen, Sar-
ah had been caught pilfering a
cabinet of the Crown jewels.
BANISHED TO THE COL
ONIES-Trial and a harsh SEN
tence quickly were melted out to
the serving girl, but execution
of the sentence was delayed by
TIE queens pardon and request
for leniency. North Carolina
courts today frequently order
convicted criminals TO leave the
county or the state for a period
of time. In the 18th century
English courts frequently ban
ished their criminals to the col
onies, and Sarah was banished
according to the custom.
Arriving in Maryland in the
summer Of It'll, Sarah was pur-
chased by Mr.. W. Duval of Bush
Creek in Frederick county. Soon
she managed to escape to Elr-
ginia. When she thought she was
a safe distance from Maryland,
Sarah assumed the name and
character of the kings sister.

SOLOMON urges"
DAYC0ACH TRIAL
Airlines President Says
Luxury Trade Keeping
Companies Broke

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. -
UD - S. J. Solomon, president
of Atlantic Airlines, today urged
the development Of "daycoach,,
service to help the airlines out Of
their financial troubles.
He told President Truman's
Air Policy Commission that q
low-cost, mass air transportation
system should be an imperative
objective" of any national all
policy. The commission is holding
hearings here to commend {
futureair policy.
Solomon said the industry now
caters only to the luxury trade
and is losing money. There Is
more revenue in the daycoach
business from the traveller in the
lower and middle income
brackets, he argued.
Joseph Bevent, chairman OF
Pacific Overseas Airlines, sug-
gested that the Civil Aeronautlcs
Board change it's rules to permit
non-certified airlines to engage
In International air cargo trans

LONDON, Sept. "a up - A
Church of England vicar captur-
ed headlines today with a letter
signed "unpatriotically yours
announcing his parish would
boycott a national savings cam
paign because of what he deemed
labor government antagonism to

"This time we are going

humorously styled working class

"Our members belong to the
class who, in Mr.. (Fuel Minister

phrases,-'Don't matter a tinker's

impertinence to expect help from
them"
The vicar referred to a wide
ly publicized statement "hinwell
was reported to have made about
the middle class-a statement
which Shinwell later said was
reported out of context.
Scott made the letter public
at a meeting of the London Bor-
