BIRTHDAY PARTY
CONTINUED From Page One)

bration became almost a continu-
Gus ovation. Crowds numbering
thousands cheered the upright old
lady as she drove the two blocks
from Marlborough house to Buck
ingham palace.
There were tears in the old
Deems eyes as she nodded her
acknowledgement. The crowds
damned the plaza before Bucking-
ham palace, cheering and singing,
and the Queen later appeared on
the palace balcony.
Four servants preceded her,
throwing a scarlet and gold cloth
over the stone railing King
George vi and Queen Elizabeth
joined her, along with several
other members of the royal family,
and waved to the crowds.
Early Visitor
The Duke of Windsor was the
first member of the family to wish
his mother a happy birthday. He
paid an unexpected half-hour visit
to the Queen, Mother at MARI
borough house this morning, per.
haps in a last-minute hope for a
reconciliation between his wife
and his mother.
When he left he tipped his bowl
er hat to the cheers of the crowd,
but his face was set in serious
lines.
The Duchess, who must have
been the loneliest woman in Eng
land today was reported spending
the day quietly at the mansion in
Berkshire loaned to the Windsors
by a millionaire friend.

Sweden Bans Imports,
With Few Exceptions,
To Combat Initiation
BY the Assoeiofed Press

STOCKHOLM, Mar. Is. - The
Swedish government placed an all
over ban on imports tonight in a
move to battle growing imitation
and a shrinkage in foreign currency
resources.
The action came as a surprise.
The liberal newspaper Dagens N.Y.
heter, in a first comment, said the
governments trade agreement with
Russia was one cause for the diff
culties, asserting that production
reserved for Russia should have
been reserved for Swedish needs"
Imports of ESSENTIAL commodities
will continue under a government
license system.
An increasing nanpower shortage,
excessive purchasing power, short
age of consumer goods and soaring
salaries and prices have all con-
tributed to SWeden's troubles.
Earlier this week the Social DEM
ocrat government and opposition
parties broke off a six weeks anti
imitation conference because of lack
of agreement.
Biggest stumbling blocks were the
governments strong stand on heav-
ier taxation of big fortunes and
corporation guarantees to freeze
wages.
The opposition has claimed thati
Swedish foreign currency reserves
dWindled because of government
credits to foreign nations, and big
imports of luxuries from the United
States, Argentina, Switzerland and
France. 1t has demanded strict do
mestic paper rationing in order to
increase the export of paper for dol
lars.
The United States Government
protested to Moscow and Stockholm
last August that the then Swedish
Soviet trade agreement was in con-
flict with United Nations plans for
free multilateral commerce.
Under its terms Sweden extended
$300,000,000 credit to Russia for
purchase of Swedish manufactures, |
and the two countries agreed to ex-
change of long list of products.
