Il am as much an American,
believe. as any of you" Lady Inver-
chapel told group of women news
writers yesterday. Il love everything
about this country. It's people, its
cities, everything!"
The doll-like wife of the British
Ambassador, Lord Inverchapel, re-
ceived her guests in the drawing
room of the Embassy and poured
tea for them.
Lady Inverchapel is the youngest
hostess the British Embassy has ever
had. She is 36 and resents state
ments that she is "fortyish''. A
native Chilean, she has blond hair
worn in ringlets all around her head,
which with her very fair skin sets
off her deep-brown eyes and long
black lashes. She tries to say she is
five feet two inches tall. but says
"as no one believes me, perhaps I
am only five feet one"
Interested in Polio.
She loves people and good times,
but she has serious side, too. She
has a deep interest in the fight on
poliomyalitis-"not sitting in COM
mittee meetings, but working with
my hands"
Her interest in this work stems
from her illness as a child. Polio
affected only one side but she could
not walk for two years. 1t was her
uncle, DR.. Eugenio Diez, noted
Chilean surgeon. who brought her
through with no i'll effects. His
treatment. she said. was not unlike
that of Sister Kenny Lady Inver-
chapel would like to study with
Sister Kenny, whom she has met.
Some part of her time In Washing
ton will be. devoted to-. this work
though she does not yet know how
or where.
Before her marriage, Lady 1nver-
chapel was Marie Teresa Diez y
Salas-Salas is her mothers maiden
name-and at the time of her first
marriage to the Ambassador she was
regarded, as the most beautiful girl
in Santiago: She met Lord 1nver-
chapel at a Chilean seashore resort
and Hodge. the diplomats favorite
dog took fancy to her Immediately.
So did his master. The Inverchapels
we're marie din 1929 and went at
once to Sweden. where Lord Inver-
chapel had been transferred as min
lister. After that they went to
Baghdad and then to China. Hodge
died there.
Divorced in 1945.
Lord and Lady Inverchapel were
divorced in 1945. some years after
Lady Inverchapel had come to New
York. city where she said yester-
day she had always wanted to live.
There she worked with Bundles for
Britain, but Immediately after the
attack on Pearl Harbor she went
into a class for nurses aides. She
worked in New York hospitals
throughout the war Then she
trained to work with polio patients.
She was remarked to Lord Inver-
chapel in Scotland on August 10.
It was while she lived in New York
that she learned to cook. She had
an apartment of her own with "a
maid, not cook" So she learned
to do the simple things, boil an egg
broil steaks and chops.
The youthful diplomatic hostess
was educated in Chile where she
learned to speak English, and then
went to France to school. She says
she has no special gifts, does not
sing or play a, musical instrument,
but she Is an excellent swimmer,

.Taft-Ha|It|ey Labor Aci
Working Very Well, ;
Senator Ball Says
BY the Associated Pres.

Senator Bah; Republican, of
Minnesota, said yesterday the
aft-Hartley Labor Act "is work.
ing very we'll and is being quite
generally observed by both en-
ployers and unions"
sena tor Ball, who was one of the
authors of the act and who heads
a Senate House Committee set up
to study its operation. made these
points at a news conference:
/. The predictions that were
made that the act would inaugurate
a period Of heavy industrial strife
have not been borne out" and the
labor relations scene is more tran
quill than IT has been in years.
2. IT haven't, seen anything lin
the acD that needs changing"
3. NLRB General Counsel Robert
Denham was clearly within his
rights in ruling that top officials of
the AFL and the CIO must sign
pledges that they are not Commun-
lists, although Congress did not con-
slider the matter.
4. The jotnt Study Committee,
which is required to report on the
laws operations by next March /,
probably will hold some hearings in
the late fail.
S. The committee already has
done considerable work on a study
of the longSterm labor relations OF
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.. and
the Botany 7Worsted Mills, Passaic,
NJ. j., and will make similar studies
of other firms.
s. The committee will steer clear
of taking role in any current labor
dispute. -
Unions Against Wildcat Strikes.
Senator Ball said he is not con-
cerned about clauses written into
contracts in an attempt to absolve
unions of liability to damage suits
for failure to live up to the con-
tract. :,
In all the cases which have come
to the committees attention, he said,
the unions agreed to take every pos
sible action against wildcat strikes,
instructing their members to cross
unauthorized picket lines. They thus
have taken a stand against the sort
of thing Congress was trying to halt,
Senator Ball said
He declared he believes AFL Presi-
dent William Green and CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray will sign anti
Communist pledges If the NLRB de-
nies their affiliated unions a place in
representation elections.
He said the study committee has
abandoned its originally announced
plan to study 10 firms with the best"
labor relations and 10 with the
worst" The Arms whose labor rela-
tions are to be studied. he said, will
be chosen for diversi1cation of prod
ucts, geographical area and the types
Of unions involved - independent,

say on what basis the first two were
chosen.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-Fifty train
loads of coal were rushed to the
Yorkshire area from other mine
fields tonight to replace industrial
stocks which have dwindled during
a 26-day unauthorized strike in the
nationalized coal mines of that
northeastern English county.
Gas companies were ordered to
burn only enough coal to provide
supplies for cooking at specified

ton said fears Of fwidespread indus
trial unemployment were rfsings

volving only about $50 men. In

in hundreds of factories.
Committee to Investigate.
The Yorkshire area council of the
National Union of Mine Workers

the issue at stake If and when the
strikers 60 back to work. The
British Press Association said the
councils action raised hopes that
the strike will end this week end"
The walkout began August II at
Grimethorpe. a Yorkshire mining
town, when a committee represent
ing the mine union and the Ma
tional Coal Board. which operates
sll British mines for the govern
ment. ordered approximately $50
miners to work a 23-foot stint"
or coal face, instead of one measur-
ing q feet. The order was issued
In connection with the British drive
for higher production.
The dispute provided material for
series of weekend political
speeches by opponents of Prime
Minister Attlee's government. In
typical attack, Walter Elliot. con-
servative member of Parliament
said:
IF the Coal Board can't get on
with its men and deliver the goods,
sack the Coal Board. If the fault is
with the fuel minister, sack the
minister. If, as seems certain, the
fault is with the government, sack
the government"

Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison defended the governments
overall efforts to meet the economic
crisis in a political speech in Lon
don.
Where is the counter plan of our
political critics?" Mr.. Morrison
asked. He disclosed that Britain's
four-year plan. which he announced
earlier this year, is now being mod
ified to cut out the frills and con-
centrate on essentials"
"1t is unreasonable to ask the gov

ties of a disorsanized, uncertain
world" he said.

act on the European economtc
crisis.
In a letter to the President, ths

Unless we solve our own problem
of imitation and scarcity. Of ever in

The union president charged that
"monopolists who control American
industry are willing to restrict pro-.
duction arbitrarily at a time Of
greatest need in order to reap TIE
greatest possible profits with min.
imum of effort and investment.
How can Congress possibly act
to ease the European crisis before
it solves the problem of scarcity and,

GOOD LUCK TO BOTH

1t appears that Dave King will be city
manager again. That is good news for a
vast majority of Key Westers, who regard
King as the right man for the job.
AS Commissioners Demeritt and john
Carbonell said, The Citizen regards Ell
lingson as a personable man, but agrees
with Carbonel when he added, After see
ing Mr.. EllingsOn and Mr.. King work, am
convinced that King is the more capable
man."
The Citizen has refrained from con-
certed criticism against Ellingson, though
on several occasions it pointed out that Ell
lingson had given orders that this or that
be done, but had not insisted that they be
kept in effect.
One of those orders regarded the cur
few. Ellingson had directed the police to
see that it was obeyed by the children of
the city. They kept off the streets after
9 o'clock for week or two, and then be-
gan coming out gradually, until now, at
lest in one section of the city, they regard
the ringing of the curfew as the time to
begin going out on the street to play.
The police had relaxed, and Ellingson
had relaxed, as result of which children,
and their parents, too, looked upon the
curfew ordinance as something of joke.
The only way in life to succeed in any
thing is to keep on pegging away. He who
lets-up is lost. For century letting-up, in
community activities, had retarded the
growth of Key West. When some i'm
provement was proposed, residents gen.
orally were enthusiastic about it, but the
enthusiasm blew itself out like nor west
er, as Harry Gwynn used to say.
Good luck to Ellingson, for he is
likeable man, and good luck to Dave King
if he resumes his office of city man
ager of Key West.
"If'' is used because it is rumored that
Adams, Louis Carbonell and Dion have
another man, capable one, under con-
sideratiOn.

ARMY LOCATES THREE POLES

In a year of experimentation and re-
search, an Army Air Force has tested
men, theories, materials and equipment in
the Arctic regions.
Flying more than 5000 hours and
more than 100000 miles over the geo.
graphic North Pole and it's immediate
vicinity" the Air Force discloses that it
discovered two new magnetic poles, in adj
dition to correcting the position of the
one recognized by science.
The major magnetic pole was located
on Prince of Wales Island. A "local pole"
was located on Boothia Peninsula, which
has been regarded as the site of the mag
netic North Pole" and another was found
on Bathurst Island. Together the three
poles make an elliptical magnetic field
While the 46th Reconnaissance Squad
ron began it's operations in June, 1916,
high officials wondered about releasing
"details of the operation. 1t is known that
American strategists regard the polar area
as the shortest aerial invasion route be-
tween major powers and emphasize the
strategic value of Alaska The acquisition
of aerial Photographic maps of "unex-
plored" areas in the Arctic possesses Pc
culiar value in connection with strategic
problems.
AS result of the years test, the con-
clusio1 has been reached that much
standard-type ground equipment is inef-
ficient for polar operations. In addition
to the flights designed to discover facts
of Importance to aviation, the squadron
conducted operations with ground forces
to test their equipment and weapons in
extreme cold. In addition, they mapped
5,O0O-square-mile area for the Navy in
search for possible-bearing formations.
