LONDON, Nov. 19.-The biggest
most diamond-studded party London
has seen since the country trooped
to war eight years ago thronged
the state apartments of Buckingham
Palace until the wee hours today to
toast Princess Elizabeth in vintage
champagne from the royal cellars.
Officially, the big party was an
"austerity" affair, for the King ruled
against staging a major state oc-
casion in days of British national
poverty.
But wealth, royalty, music and
champagne. youth, dignity. silk and
diamonds made the party barely
distinguishable from the big state
affairs of happier days. The only
thing missing was rich food at the
buffet supper.
Cars Bring 1000 Guests.
Diamond tiaras were the rule
rather than the exception among
the women guests, who included
four Queens. Most women were in
full-length evening gowns. but a
few came in the new, ankle length
style.
Sleek black automobiles. bearing
the 1900 guests queued four abreast
from the palace gates to Admiralty
Arch, half mile away down the

The weather turned warmer and

Scotland Yard openly admitted
that bad weather-anything but a

Americans Bid for Tickets.
The London Daily Mail reported
that offers of up to so pounds $4,000

Most of the offers have come to
members of the abbey staf-or their
wives, who get most of the staff
tickets-and every one has been re-
fused, the paper said.
So the would-be ticket buyers ap-
parently will have to take the we'd
ding in the same fashion as packed
thousands of Londoners and pro-
vincial BritOns who will line the
curbs for the mile-long procession
and stand in patient ranks before
Buckingham Palace.
Many were expected to begin
camping on the streets by dark to-
night to assure themselves of front
rank behind the line of hobbies.
All the principals in the wedding
were drawing card for the masses,
too, at the rehearsal, scheduled
for pm.
The King and Queen. the Princess
and her flance, and all the high
clergy and attendants who will par
ticipate in the ceremony were in
cluded in the rehearsal plan.
~ Abbey to Be Searched.
One of the rehearsaPs main OBJ
jectives was to establish split-second
timing from the separate professions
to the altar of the Princess and her
fiance to the last fanfare as the
united couple leaves the abbey.
After the rehearsal. Scotland
Yard prepared to search every
Granny of the abbey, which then
will be latched tight and special
guard established to bar any pros
pective evildoer.
Already every person who has

private buildings in upper Whitehall
has been thoroughly checked.
Similar precautions were put into
operation for the route of the pro-

Mountbatten Wears Ribbon.
Her f1ance, 1t. Philip Mount

before he renounced his title as a
Prince of Greece as a step toward
winning Elizabeths hand.
Besides all the visiting royalty on
hand there were cabinet ministers,
high churchmen and diplomats
from all over the world.
And there was Sharman Douglas,
daughter of American Ambassador

Knutson Attacks Cuts
In Tariff Rates, Hints
Battle on Trade Law
BY the Associoted Press

Representative KnutSon, Re-
publican, of Minnesota said to-
day the State Department in its
free trade" tariff cuts has
sought to tie the hands of Con-
gresS against protecting Amer
lean agriculture and industry
from foreign imports.

chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, indicated a Bit
ter battle in Congress when the
reciprocal trade law comes up for
renewal next spring.

accord. Mr.. Knutson said in a for
NAL statement:
THE President and the State
Department have announced the
most sweeping tariff cuts Ill the
history of the country. Ovei 10 per
cent of our dutiable imports will be
affected and almost 1000 rates of
duty covering upward of 1000 items
have been either reduced CT bound
when the full meaning of these
tariff cuts becomes apparent to the
American public, the reaction is
likely to prove interesting, if not
disconcerting to the do-gooGerS who
have traded us off for very dubious
and nebulous trade concessions that
may never be realized
Effective January II.
Under terms of the Geneva trade
and tariff agreement made public by
the Government Monday night, the
United States will make more than
$500 cuts in import duties as part
of a 23-nation pact affecting half
the worlds commerce.
A State Department official told
a reporter then the effects on prices
and on volume of imports will be
slow to come but the general effect
should be to ease the burden on the
consumer"
The reduction made by the United
States and seven other countries
are scheduled to go into effect Janu-
ary /, 1948. Other countries are
to adhere to the agreement as soon
as they ratify it.
