Princess Elizabeth Moy Recall Story;
Speaker Doubts Republican Fisherman.

Speaker Sam Rayburn estab-
Iished for all time his reputation
as fisherman when he caught
the largest number of bass reeled
in last week end at the King and
Queen Rod and Gun Club. He
18 in all, not including
the two he threw back which
must have been Republican bass
they were too meaSley to be
Democrats. he said. The lovable
Texan had to comment every once
in a while on the number he
caught to make up for the fact
that the biggest fish of ala
9A pound bass was hooked
by his fellow Texan and closest
friend, Chief Judge of the Court
of Claims Marvin Jones. Polly
Guggenheim brought in a 7-pound
bass with hand line; the reel
had dropped of the rod.
The night before the fishing
began the gentlemen were boast
fully comparing their fishing
tackle when Bob Guggenheim
spoke up and said he had a fly
rod that weighed only seven
Ieighths of an ounce altogether
including the handle, rod and
everything. That was too much
for the Speaker.
Don't lie to me like that, Col.
Bob" he said, II can't stand it.
] have to hear you Republicans
lie too much in the House with
out coming down here and hear
ing more. There just amt no
such animal. Seven-eighths Of
an ounce is nothing"
| "All right" replied Col. G.. II
will make a bet. I bet you 81 900
to $40 that this rod won't weigh
more than seven-eighths of an
ounce" But the rest Of them, the
Speaker. Judge Jones, Represent
ative Prince Preston, who's one
dof the expert fishermen in the
East. and Gladstone Williams,
their host, pooh-poohed the idea.
and assured the boaster they
didn't want to take his money.
I Whereupon Bob offered to BUY
Everybody there a dinner of any
thing they liked from terrapin
stew on down if he wasn't right.
Then he sent his man out for the
rod with which he has caught
trout weighing up to 3 pounds,
The said, and which came in a
lease plainly marked as to its
Iseven-eighths of an ounce con-
tents. The others good naturedly
but grudgingly refused to believe
lit. though it was as light as a
feather. So Bob suggested they
drive to the nearest post Office
! to weigh it.
4 mo" refused the Speaker with
la twinkle, "I wouldn't want to
make a liar out of Uncle Sam"

Before the lovely Princess
set out with her hand
some husband Philip on their
Canadian tour, her mother, the
Queen, undoubtedly took her aside
to explain how not to make the
mistake-if you can call it that
that she and the King made in
Montreal. To make it perfectly
clear, she must have told the
whole story.
It seems that at the time their
majesties visited the Canadian
metropolis in the Province OF
Quebec, they were entertained at
a civic luncheon presided over
|by the fabulous mayor Of the
|city, one Camillien Houde. who is
today still mayor and in his
seventh term. M. HoudeI is spec
|tacular, effusive. rotund, out
spoken man who was jailed dur
ling the war for his agitation
against conscription and for
neutrality. Four months after his
release in 1914, he was again
reelected mayor.
On the occasion of the luncheon
he spoke in English but with the
ltypically French-C Canadian stac-
cato cadence. And in that manner
when he stood up to toast theil
majesties, he said abruptly, 1.-THE
King and Queen, stand up!" Al.
though they must have been
bit bewildered by the unaccus.
toned sound of a command, ane
although they are not used tt
standing when any one else il
seated, the King and Queen ros'
as bid. They are naturally polit'
and they were in a country un
used to the royal presence.
M. Houde waved his hands ant
bowed low, "Oh, no, no. no, m,
friends" he exclaimed informally
I'I did not mean for you to stant
Iup. I meant for the guests t,
stand in your honor!" And thei
Imajesties sat down again. having
made probably the first incorrec
move of their lives. Elizabeth
mo doubt. will be remembering
all this when she and Philip ente
Montreals Windsor Hotel the eve
ming of October 80 to be the din
ner guests Of Mayor Houde.

Three which began last October,

The last Western communica-

The most closely guarded of all

Remington 5 Attorney
Attacks Miss Bentley
In Final Argument
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Defense
counsel for William w. Remington
33, summed up today with a bitter
attack on the testimony of Eliza
beth T. Bentley, admitted former
Soviet spy courier.
Remington. former Government
economist, is being tried on a per-
jury charge for telling Federal
grand jury he never had been a
Communist Party member. The
case may go to the Federal Court
jury tonight after the Govern
ment'S summation.
If convicted Remington faces a
possible maximum sentence of five
years imprisonment and $4,000
fine.
William C. Chanler, chief de-
fense attorney, told the court that
Miss Bentley lied in her charges
against Remington to protect her
financial interest in lectures and
articles in which she named REM
ington.
Summarizes Viewpoint.
Remington had to be indicted
or Miss Bentley would be proved
liar" Mr.. Chanler said.
He described the entire prose-
cution as "the case of Bentley
against Remington.
Mr. Chanler noted that Miss
Bentley testified that she re-
ceiveo moral support from John
Brunini, foreman of the grand
jury that indicted Remington, in
compiling a book describing war;
time espionage. She testified that
part of the book material dealt
with Remington.
Mr.. Chanler stressed that REM
ington was not indicted after
Miss Bentley'S original revelations
to the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation in 1945 concerning Com
munist espionage activity.
Cites Promotions.
On the contrary. Mr.. Chaliler
said. Remington wcu promotions
IN Government service until he
held IAN important job" in the
Commerce Department.
The defense attorney said it
was only after Miss Bentley had
been 'lecturing all over the place"
and had become involved in a
libel action brought by Reming-
ton that she changed her story
to link him to espionage activity.
Mr.. Chanler ridiculed Miss
Bentley's assumption" that Rem
ington knew information he gave
her was being relayed to Earl
Browder. former Communist lead
er In America.
The defense counsel insisted
that. Remington thought Miss
Bentley was a writer and that the
information he gave her was to
correct false notions about War
Production Board policies.

Mr.. Clancy murmured some

AS the sheriff hesitated, Senator
Tobey said he gathered that Mr..

he wouldn't respect the Governor.
Mr.. Clancy was silent and then
Senator Tobey snapped "all right,

Mr.. Clancy went on to say that

underprivileged people" vino could

He said that today, however.

continued operation of the gam

Senator Tobey broke in again
to note that gambling was illegal
in Louisiana and that Mr.. Clancy,
as a sheriff. had taken an oath
to enforce the law.

demanded.

Atomic Artillery Worheods
Reported Tested in Nevada

Artillery shells with atomic war
heads may have been tested in
the. series of five earth-shaking
tests at the Las Vegas, New, test
ing grounds of the Atomic Energy
Commission, it was rumored in
Washington today.
The Acc Commission fatty de-
clared it would divulge nothing
about the tests-one of the worlds
best-guarded secrets. 1t would say
only that it is completely salts
fed" with the results of the tests.
Some support is given the
atomic SHELF hypothesis by the
fact that more than six months
ago such weapons were described
by an authoritative military
spokesman as among the more
probable warfare developments of
the future. On Monday Gen. j.
Lawton Collins, Army Chief of
Staff, was quoted as saying
