Keneipp Clarifies Law
On Traffic Lights

Even an ambulance can't run
through a red light without break
ing the law, Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp said today.
Mr.. Keneipp was commenting on
the Fourth of July accident in
which two persons were killed when
a driver ran through a red light
while rushing a friend suffering
from a hemorrhage to hospital.
Mr.. Keneipp said the only drivers
permitted to pass a stop sign or a
red light were the vehicles of the
Fire Department in answering an
alarm. On returning to the engine
house. they must. obey all traffic
signals.
Provisions are made in the traffic
code for ambulances to proceed
through a stop sign or red light
but they must first come to full
stop and then proceed only if they
can do so safely. The same applies
legally to police cars.
At a luncheon meeting OF the
Optimists' Club yesterday, Mr.
Keneipp said that it was a problem
for the psychiatrist and not the
Traffic Department to eliminate a
great many causes for accidents. He
said it was the me first" attitude of
motorists that was the principal
cause of traffic accidents.
He said that the proper recipe for
safe and enjoyable driving includes
plenty of common sense and caution
and pinch of good disposition.

Senate Hearing Calls
Steel Pipe Producer
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Senate's Steel Committee
called today on officials of a large
producer of steel pipe to discuss
testimony that they withdrew last
year from MidWestern markets.
Billed as first witness was George
E. Clifford, vice president of the
Spang- Chalfant division of the Ma
tional Supply Co. of Pittsburgh.
The committee, headed by Sena-
tor Martin, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania also planned to gather addi-
tional evidence from Midwestern
dealers as to their troubles in get
ting water pipe.
1t heard testimony yesterday that
the shortage of pipe threatens to
cut down food production.
A. J. Lageson, speaking for the
R. r. Howell Co., Minneapolis. said
farmers in five States which his
company serves are desperate" for
water, and in some cases are cur
failing their livestock production.
Mr.. Lageson said his company dis
tributed 5000 tons of pipe to well
contractors last year, and has been
able to purchase only AZ tons thus
far in 1947.
He said Spang -Chalfant refused to
take any orders from his company
after March, 1916, because officials
said that under controlled prices in
effect then they could not profitably
ship steel pipe into the Chicago area

Sister, 68, in Locked Shack
BY the Associoied Press

MILWAUKEE,, July 10.-Arthul
Boehlke, 54, a Milwaukee County
farmer, was summoned into District
Court today on a charge of illegally
imprisoning his 67-year-old unmar-
ried sister Edna in a locked shack
on his farm.
Joseph Tierney, deputy district
attorney, said under Wisconsin law
it is felony punishable by one
to Is years in prison. to confine s
person forcibly or secretly.
Capt. James Flatley of the sher-
ifs department said that Miss
Boehlke was found in the shack
Monday by deputy sheriffs after re-
ceipt of an anonymous letter con-
cerning her confinement. She was
removed to hospital where hel
condition was reported as poor"
Capt. Flatley said the shack, with
it's one window boarded, was fur
nished with a couch and a bee
without mattress.
The police officer said Boehlke
told him he had been named his
sisters guardian in County Court
year ago after she had been de-
clared mentally incompetent. The
officer related the farmer said his
sister had lived on an adjoining
farm until last June Is when he
moved her to the shack and had
locked her up for fear she would
harm herself"

GeneoIogy Reveals Elizabeth

be admiral of the fleet and was
First Sea Lord of the Admiralty
at the outbreak of World War I.
His uncle, Viscount Mountbatten of
Burma, now viceroy of India, who
has had much to do with his up
bringing, was rear admiral and
one of the outstanding leaders of
the late war.
His other grandfather, King
George I of Greece, was a Danish
naval cadet, but his acceptance of
the Greek throne when only 18
years of age cut short his seafar-
ing career.
The royal house Of Greece, OF
which Philip Mountbatten was a
member until his naturalization as
a British subject, Was founded as
recently as 1868, when Prince Will
liam of Denmark was called to the
vacant Greek throne as George 1.
But there has been already one
popular Anglo-Greek marriage in
the wedding of the late Duke of
Kent, uncle of Princess Elizabeth,
to Princess Marina, cousin of young
Mountbatten.
The present King of Greece is a
member of the House of Glucksburg,
which is also the ruling house of
Denmark, and Of Norway. whose
King married the late Princess
Maud, daughter, of King Edward
VII of England Young Mount
batten has, in fact, no Greek blood
in his veins and does not speak
Greek. He is really Dane and was
prince of Denmark as we'll as of
Greece.
Descendants of Queen Victoria.
Philip Mountbatten was born
June 10, 1921. He, is the only son of
the late Prince Andrew of Greece.
fourth son of King George I of
Greece and of Princess Alice,
daughter of the first Marques Of
Milford Haven, who married Prin-
cess Victoria of Hesse, a grand
daughter of Queen Victoria. There
fore, both he and his future wife
are great-great- grandchildren of
of Queen Victoria.
He has received the normal edu-
cation of an English boy of good
family, first at preparatory school
at Cheam tnear South LondonD and
later at Gordonstoun School, near
Elgin. Scotland, finally entering the
royal navy as cadet at Dartmouth.
While at Dartmouth he was award
ed the Kings dirk as the finest all
round cadet of his term and the
Eardley Howard Crockett prize for
the best cadet.
Like Princess Elizabeth, he is
keenly interested in amateur the
atricals, and was chosen for many
school plays, excelling in Shake
spearean parts.
He became midshipman in jan
uary, 1910. On the following Christ
mas he was ordered to join the
Mediterranean fleet and saw much
service in that theater of war, gain
ing a mention in dispatches at the
Battle of Matapan. Later he served
in the war against Japan, being
present at the surrender in Tokyo
Bay.

Elizabeth Trousseau
May Be Curtailed by
Clothes Rationinq
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, July 10.-There won t
be any buying spree for Princess
Elizabeth when she gets her trous-
seau ready-unless Britain's clothes
rationing scheme is lifted before
then. And, like SO many other
fnewlyweds. it's likely the young
royal couple may have to 'slive with
mother"
Coupons, the housing shortage,
lack of domestic ware, furnishings
and bed linen, will probably hit
Britain's No. l engaged couple as
it does the humblest of her future
subjects. And. like many of her
generation, she will depend good
deal on the generosity of friends
abroad for luxuries.
Throughout the war years and
until the royal family went to South
Africa, the princess lived on the
same coupon ALLEGATION as any other
British girl. Again and again Prin-
cess Elizabeth attended functions
in the same ensemble-with new
coupon-free hats the only changes.
Gave Up Coupons for Gifts.
When gifts of shoes or stockings
were given from British firms, the
royal family was scrupulous to sur
render coupons in exchange.
1t is unlikely in these days when
production problems are as bad as
they have ever been, and when the
glare of publicity is on the be-
trothed couple, that any extra cou-
pom ALLEGATION will be granted.
Like everybody else, Elizabeth
must make her ration coupons last
until the end of September. Like
everybody else, she'll be wondering
how many will be allowed for the
next period-and just how long they
must last. And she will have to be
much more careful than girls in
whom reporters aren't interested
not to infringe any regulations.
Clothes for the royal tour to
South Africa were classed as "for
export only" and the royal prin-
cesses had their first opportunity to
buy as they liked. But unless the
honeymoon is to be abroad, it is un-
likely that the same license will be
taken by the princess.
Childhood Home Blitzed
Most British girls, many of whom
hire wedding dresses, are wondering
today what the Princess win do
about hers. Restrictions have
brought in 1947 fashion for brides
to wear their mothers wedding
gown-or their great great grand
mothers. With the London museum
filled with royal clothes through
the ages, Princess Elizabeth might
have good choice.
There is a shortage in royal resi-
dences just as much as in flats in
London
The Princess childhood home off
Hyde Park corner was blitzed and
the site has been rented. Clarence
House and St. James Palace both
need much renovation before they
would be convenient today.
The newlyweds are likely to begin
married life in wing of Bucking-
ham Palace, with prob bly, a
country house of their own-An
easier problem these days when so
many stately homes of England
have come onto the market.
AS for 1t. Philip Mountbatten, his
clothes problems are simpler.

LONDON, July 1O-The marriage
Of Princess Elizabeth and Philip
Mountbatten, whose engagement
was announced today. will join one
of the ancient families of Denmark
and a British royal princess whose
forebears go back to America.
Princess Elizabeth has still to
visit the United States, but that
country can claim special interest
in her. She is the first British
princess of American descent.
Through. her mother she comes
from one of the early settlers in
Virginia. Genealogical tables show
that she is one of the nearest living
kin of George Washington. and
Robert E. Lees name is in her
family tree.
In the 17th century, one Robert
Porteous left Newbattle, near Edin-
burgh. Scotland. and settled on the
York River, in Virginia near Por-

Newbattle sometimes spelled New
bottle) settlement, and the fine old
panelled house he lived in was still
standing as late as 1894.
In 172O, Robert Porteous, who had
served as legislator in Virginia
left America and returned to York,
England, to ensure adequate edu-
cation for his children. Robert died
and was buried in Ripon Cathedral

Now comes the direct link with
royalty. Robert Porteous' great

Dora Smith, married the 18th Earl
of Strathmore in 1855 and became
the future grandmother of the
queen, who was Lady Elizabeth
Boweslyon, daughter of the 14th
Earl of Strathmore, before her mar
riage.
The other American ties are
strong. Porteous' wife, Mildred
Smith of Purton, Gloucester County

Washington's father. Thus, with
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Princess
Elizabeth claims kinship with the
! first American President. wash
ington and Roosevelt had common
ancestry with the princess from
kings Of Observation-Disclosures being
descended from Edward I, who died
in 1907, and Roosevelt from Henry
II, who died in 1882
Other ancestors were Col. George
Reade of Yorktown, a Colonial Gov
ernor of Virginia. and Col. Angus
tine Warner, born in 1913, a men,
ber of the Council of Virginia, who
lived in York and Gloucester Coun-
ties, Va, and through whom the
princess is related to yet another
