his country, but that they were
ridiculous and untrue"
The 26-year-old monarch and his
mother Helen, divorced wife of ex-
King Carol, flew in from Bucharest
en- route to the London wedding of
Princess Elizabeth.
"I have heard those reports. quite
few of them," Mihai said in brief
interview. "They are not true. I
have my responsibility, and intend
to meet It,"
The King was at the controls of
his. own two-engined transport for
the five-hour trip to, Munich. He
had flown 1896 hours as pilot and
said he enjoys flying about as much
as driving his American jeep around

Mihai said he was visiting Ger

England in nine years.

had i buyers strike shortly after the first

1922.
Before the strike began, prices for
goods had skyrpcketed,, but by the time
the public began Ito purchase normally
again prices fell to- their lowest ebb in
many years It was reported that meat

However the greatest losses were in

ets. Merchants In those days were hard hit.
but they were caught in the national vortex
akainst buying. and, like merchants
throughout the country. fought hard but
unsoecsssfully for more than two years
to get out u it.
The head Of one Of the leading business
houses in Key West inforlned The Citizen
that, while Ne was hard hit, the hardest
hit Of all are,t the saloon keepers. Probably
the reason for that is because the public,
squec4ing. the dollar harder now than it
has Id almost decade, is spending it
chiefly for the essentials Of life.

HOOVER ENJOYS HARNESS

It is apparent to anyone who has
watched the: development Of national af-
fairs that Mi. Herbert Hoover. former
President. he's made significant con-
, ',1sts ;'s 81 public vtS n 'hs 'rns
The record shows that, early in 1916.
he made i world survey of famine condi-
tions at the request of President Truman.
Mr.. Hoover and a small staff visited 38
countries and travelled $4,000 miles. This
u something of AIl undertaking for d man
Of seventy years and there is.every evil
dence that the former President enjoyed
the opportunity to serve his country.
"A few months ago, the former Presi-
dent made first-hand study of conditions
III Germany and Austria and recommend
ed measures designed to, make these areas
self.supporting without becoming a mill
tary menace in the future.
Newspaper men take note of the fact
that he recently appeared at a press din
ner for the first time in fifteen years. His
remarks were well-received but those
present observed feeling when he re-
marked that. beginning with President
Taft, Ne had served the nation on special
missions for every President except one.
Political observers believe that Mr..
Hoover has made a considerable con-
tl'ibutipn to the development of bi-par-
tisafi foreign, policy. He has, in general,
backed UP the administration in its rela-
tons with foreign affairs and, on numer-
Gus occasions, has approved the conduct
Of President Truman and Secretary of
State Marshall.
IN connection with the failure of Pres
idsnt Roosevelt to use the services of the
former President, as other Presidents have
done before him it should be recognized
that the early administrations Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt represented ideas SO an
tagopiatic to those Of the former President
that nothing could have been gained by
An attempt to use his services.

there is a question open for de-

that most of our leading civic

" accuses every one capable Of
speaking Spanish, owing TO the
fact that it fails to specify 4sonne.'
Hence, we are all included.
I am not striving to question
DIR. Amenebar's veracity, but
very many Key Westers would
like to be enlightened as to the
source of such unfounded infor-
nation. Key West has never wit
messed any public demonstration

The Easter Fashion Revue spon-

Committee of The Pacific Dispach
Despatch, Seattle's newest weekly
publication, held at the Seattle
Repertory Play House, Easter Sum-
day was one of the most thrilling
events ever witnessed by a Seat

women and three men, dressed in
the very latest fashioned and
FINEST textured clothes passed in
revue before a large and apprecia-
tive audience amidst thunderous
applause. The winner, who at the
climax of the gala occasion, was
crowned Miss Pacific Despatch,
was Miss Anna Mary Knighton,
closely followed by Mrs. Eva
Stokes. Some dissatisfaction was
expressed among the audience at
the close of the revue when from
an unknown source it was wisper-
ed around that the sponsors pre-
ferred a Miss for the high honor
rather than a Matron.

Girl Protests
Custer From
Negro School

WASHINGTON = A pretty, %
year-old white girl promised a
legal fight against the action of
the Washington Board of Educa-
ton in barring her from a voca-
tional school for Negroes.
She was Miss Karla Rosel Ga
lara, daughter of former official
of the Pan American Union, who
has been studying designing at the
Negro school since last February.
The School Board was informed
of her attendance at the school
last week. After several confer
ences with Miss Galarza and her
family, the board voted to order
her to transfer to a white voca-
tional school.
Miss Galarza said she intended
to use all the legal means avail
able to stay at the Negro school.
She said the course of study at
the white school was not as good.
Miss Galarza was born in Sac
ramento, Calf. Her family first
moved to Washington in 1886.
