LONDON. Feb. 16-Queen
Elizabeth II visited half an hour
today at Marlborough House with
Queen Mary and the Duke of
Windsor as normality crept slow
ly back to Britain in a new
Elizabethan age.
A typical quiet British family
week end shaped up in the wake
of the burial of King George vi
at windsor yesterday. The cap
tains and the kings who came to
honor him departed one by one.
Elizabeth made the call just
after luncheon on her S4-year-
old grandmother and the uncle
who gave up for love the throne
she inherited upon her fathers
death February 6.
The young Queen spent most OF
the day at home with her children
and husband. the Duke Of Edin-
burgh, in Clarence House. Their
only visitors were her widowed
mother and younger sister. Prin-
cess Margaret.
Urged to Take Vacation.
Advisers are determined that
Queen Elizabeth should take q va
cation soon to recover from the
strains of her fathers death and
her accession. But the vacation
appears several weeks away. First
she must make decisions which
only the Queen can make.
Among other things, it's up, to
her to decide whether a yearly al
lowance of $4,000 pounds ($70,00O
which the late King is generally
credited with having given his
brother out Of his personal for
tune should be continued.
The duke may have brought up
financial matters. He draws moth
ing from the government. How
ever, he is considered wealthy in
his own right. His memoirs. a
best seller, are reported TO have
brought him three quarters Of a
million dollars.
The only ex-king Of England
ever to attend his successors fu-
neral, the Duke plans to visit
Paris and then sail for, New York
February 20 to rejoin the wife for
whom he gave up the throne. the
Baltimore-born former Wallis
Warfield Simpson. In the mean
time. he is staying witt. his aged
mother and declining social in
vitations.
Faces Host OF Duties.
A host of royal duties crowd
upon Elizabeth. She must select
senior members for her household
staff at Buckingham Palace. de-
eide upon moving day from Clar-
ence House, approve plans for her
coronation, ponder future ranking
for her husband and consider the
governmental affairs which VIM
ston Churchill will regularly lay
before her. I
The Duke Of Edinburgh is ex-
pected to be named Rrince Con-
sort and raised in tile order OF
royal precedence to a position
second only to the Queen. Their
8 3-year-old son Prince Charles out+
ranks him now. Charles Is heir
to the throne.
Prime Minister Churchill went
to his country home. ChartWeh

Wage Board Indorses
Pay Boost for 10000

SUNDAY. FEBRUARY II, 1859
Bv james Y. Newton

- ~. Bv james Y. Newton
The Wage Sterilization Boarc
yesterday recommended an aver.
age wage increase of 10 per cent
plus 8 cents per hour for 10000
workers of the Douglas Aircraft
Go.
In a preliminary ruling on the
long-standing contract dispute
with the CIO United Automobile
Workers, the board disposed of all
but two issues.
But the ones yet to be dealt with
were among the hottest issues in
the dispute which led to a 48-day
strike last fall at the big Douglas
plant in Long Beach, Calf.
Union Shop an Issue.
These are the matters of the
date of retroactivity of the wage
increase and the unions demand
Tor q union shop. The board will
meet tomorrow in an attempt to
dispose of them.
A spokesman said the board re-
leased its incomplete recommenda-
tions to show the Douglas work.
ers exactly what it had done at
this time. The union had scheduled
mass meeting for tomorrow to
consider WSB settlement terms.
It was indicated the meeting now
will be postponed until decision
is made on the remaining issues.
President Truman sent the
case to WSB as q means Of end
Ing the strike last fall.
Retroactivity Sought.
The union has demanded that
part of the wage increase be
made retroactive to October 1850.
But a WSB panel, which investi-
gated the dispute, said the in
creases should not be paid be-
yond September 5, 1851, expiration
date of the Douglas contract.
Douglas workers have not re-
eeived pay increase since Sept
tember 1949.
The 10 per cent increase was
recommended to compensate the
workers for living cost increases
due them under the WSB's catch
up" formula, issued a year ago.
Part of the additional nine cents
per hour would cover living cost
rises since that time and the rest
would maintain pay differentials
between work classifications. +
Facing Hot Issue.
The case, will bring the Wage
Boards first ruling on the hot
union shop issue, under which all
employees of a bargaining unit ATE
compelled to join the union. Board
Chairman Nathan P. Feinsinger
has, said the WSB would not
duck" the union shop issue. But
that would not preclude the board
from deciding that the question
Of union shop is one that unions
and managements must bargain
out themselves.
On that subject. G. Maynard
Smith of Atlanta, a former indus
try member Of the WSB, said
yesterday:
'T challenge any Government
agency's moral right - or legal
power-to recommend. In a man
ner that will have the effect sof
an order, that free American citi-
zens join and pay tribute to any
organization against their will as
the price for the privilege Of earn
ing livelihood.

mo right-n1inded employer
and no fair-minded citizen-wants
to deny a worker the right to
be a member of any legitimate
union of his own free choice. But
no employer-for gain or protec-
ton of himself against strikes
should be put in a position OF
having to force his employees to
join and pay dues to a union
against their will"

some Instrumental teachers are
assigned to junior and senior high
schools, we have been unable to
determine that the Board of Edu-
cation has bought a single orches-
trail instrument. Junior and SEN
ior high schools are provided with
rooms for instrumental practice
but no instruments are furnished.
This is not true for shop, home
economics, or science laboratories
where equipment is provided. In
well-to-do nefghborhoods junior
and high school children who
have their own instruments can,
and do, receive instruction, and
parent organizations which are
able to finance a few instruments,
open instruction to a few more
children. In underpriviledged
neighborhoods, where it is ap-
parent that children are even
more in need of musical express
sion, there is practically no pro-
vision for instruments in the
school system"
Instruction Spreod Thin
The $4,000 asked for will
spread out very thin, Mrs. Blau
thinks, considering the number of
schools and the number of pupils.
So will the % new music teachers

to the Negro schools. 1.-THE pres
ent music staff assigned to ele-
mentary schools divisions 1-9,"
Mrs. Blau states in her letter, "is
so limited in number that, on an
average, each teacher is respon-
sible for over 130 classes in ten
different schools. In divisions To-
l3, the situation is worse"
The statistics speak for them
selves. The zeal of the various
PTA units show the attitudes Of
parents. All this should have con-
siderable influence on those con-
sidering the requirement of the
budget. Underneath. however, is
the amazing fact that so many
people are united in believing
that music, as a disciplinary and
cultural factor, should operate in
the public school system from the
beginning of instruction. No one
would be so foolish as to make
such request for financial support
without a firm basis grounded on
experience. This experience, which
aims at the building of better
citizenry and for the cultivation
Of the finer things of life, should
be given very serious considera-
ton. for mothers, fathers and
teachers are the ones who lay the
groundwork for the future.

Of the bachelor President Buchan-
an. the social triumphs of the
White House became celebrated,
indeed. Most remarkable of her
successes was the entertainment
Of Albert Edward. Prince of Wales,
at the White House in 1860.
During the terrible years of the
war Mrs. Lincoln had little op-
|portunity to show her ability as
an entertainer, and the death of
her son Willie was another blow.
Indeed there was opportunity for
but one really brilliant affair, the
New Years reception of 1865, and
shortly after that the whole Ma
ton was plunged into grief by the
assassination of the President.
Mrs. Johnson, being an invalid
when her husband became Presi-
dent, the duties of hostess of the
White House were delegated to
her eldest daughter, Mrs. Patter-
son. She was a lady of great
executive ability, and under her
direction the mansion was re-
furnished with elegance and taste
The Gronts Arrive
Mrs. Grant brought q large
family of children with her to
the White House. The debut and
marriage of her daughter Nellie
was an event of Importance, being
followed by the introduction of
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred
Grant. In addition to many
friends and kinspeople, Mrs.
Grant entertained the Duke of
Edinburgh, the Grand Duke
Alexis Of Russia, King Kalakaua
Of Hawaii and the first Minister
from China, while her closing re-
ception was especially brilliant.
Mrs. Hayes was a winsome and
cheerful hostess, who won sue
cess in spite Of her defiance of
precedents in abolishing wine
from the White House. For this
she won the esteem of temper
ance people everywhere.
Mrs. Garfield's reign at the
White House was brief, for sick
ness seized her soon after her
arrival, and the death of the
President seven months after his
Inauguration ended it entirely.
President Arthur installed his
sister, Mrs. McElroy, as mistress
of the White House, and she was
assisted in all social functions by
Mrs. Frelinghuysen and her
daughters, accomplished enter
tainers all of them.
The sister of President Cleve-
land also assumed the duties of
social head Of the White House.
but was Supplanted after q year
by the Presidents bride.
