|Ex-Queen Elena, 79,
|0f Italy; Had Been
lin Exile in France
By the Associated Press

MONTPELIER, France, Nov.
28.-Ex-Queen Elena of Italy died
at her villa here today. She
was 79.
The widow of King Victor
Emmanuel III and the mother of
former King Umberto II had been
under treatment by French
cancer expert for three years.
The Queen had been living in
exile since the abdication of Vic
tor Emmanuel in 1916. Victor
Iabdicated in May of that year
and for a brief period Umberto II
was King. On June Italy voted
in favor of a republic and a
formal proclamation ending the
rule of the House of Savoy was
issued on June 18.
Victor Emmanuel died in Alex
andria. Egypt, where he had gone
into exile, December %, 1947.
Son Believed in Zurich.
Reports that the Queen was Sc
riously Ill were heard earlier this
month. Members of her family
came here. They denied, however,
that it was because of the Queens
health.
Umberto was not at the bedside
of his dying mother. He is be-
lieved to be in Zurich after leaving
Paris yesterday.
Elena was born at Cettigna,
Montenegro (now part of Yugo-
slavia). on January 8, 1873. She
was married to Victor Emmanuel
in Rome on October "a, 1896. He
assembled the throne four years
later.
| The marriage was regarded by
the Italians as a love match, but
lit had political advantages for
Rome. The union was seen as an
aid in extending italian influence
in the Balkans and introducing in
the Italian royal strain the rug
ged qualities of the Montenegran
people.
Elena was educated at Smolny
Institute in Petrograd, now Lenin-
grad. She was regarded as spe-
cial favorite of Car Alexander III.
Gave Up Wedding Ring.
During the war with Ethiopia
the Queen gave full support to the
country's resistance against sane
tions imposed by the League of
Nations.
When II Duce's Fascist party
called upon Italian women to sac
rifice their wedding rings to boil
ster the waning gold supply, the
Queen wrote a letter to Mussolini
offering the royal wedding ring.
She led thousands of Italian wom-
en- who placed their rings before
the tomb of Italy's unknown SOL
dier on December 18, 1885.
She was the sixth of II children
of King Nicholas and Queen Mi
lena of Montenegro.
Renowned as Fisherwoman.
Four daughters and a son were
born to Elena and Victor Emman-
luel. They were Umberto and the
four Princesses. Jolanda, Malfalda,
Giovanna and Maria.
Princess Malfalda died in Buch-
enWald concentration camp in
Germany during World War II.
Giovanna is the ex-Queen of
Bulgaria.
When Queen Elena first went
INTO exile she went to Alexandria.
Egypt, but came here in 1850.
Here she won renoWn as a fisher
woman, preparing her own lines
and hooks, choosing her own bait
and often going out alone in a
small boat to do her fishing.
Her sister, the Princess of Bat
tenberg. was at her bedside when
she died.

County zoning Ruling!
Seen >Endangering
Park Development

Some recent zoning decisions of
the Prince Georges County Com
missioners have endangered the
park-acquisition program in the
county, according to Robert M.
Watkins.
Mr.. Watkins is chairman Of the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, which
has an extensive park-develop-
ment program under way in
Prince Georges.
At a recent joint lunch Of the
planners and the county COM
missioners, Mr.. Watkins charged
several county ,zoning decisions
had adversely affected the park
land program.
Did Not Elaborate Charge.
Mr.. Watkins did not elaborate
on his charge but it was under
stood one of the cases referred to
was so-called "spot-zoning" to
commercial use Of land along
University lane.
The chairman of the planning
agency stressed the Importance of
keeping park land intact and
separate from commercial and
residential development.
Mr.. Watkins also took to task
the County Board Of Zoning Ap-
peals which he said had rendered
decisions whose legality was
doubtful.
Mr.. Watkins was referring to
the granting of permits for build
ing which were in variance with
county ordinances.
The planning commission an
nounced yesterday it was consid-
ering changing county zoning pro-
visions dealing with signs, clean
ing establishments. nurseries and
kindergartenS.
Assailed on Traffic Signal.
The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil yesterday also drew scorn from
the planners for their recent re-
fusal to pay one-fourth the cost
of installing a traffic signal at
Piney Branch road and Sligo
Creek parkway.
The council refused to partici-
pate in the cost on grounds the
signal controlled traffic on a park
road and a State highway.
Mr.. Green, however. pointed
out that hundreds of county resi-
dents use Sligo Creek Parkway
daily as a short cut from Piney
Branch road to Colesville road.
"The councils refusal was with
out Justification" Mr.. Green said.
Some one is going to get killed
there because Of the councils
action"
The planners intend to ask the
State Roads Commission to pay
more than the half Of the $4,000
cost to which it has already

Let's Get Out the Vote
Virginions' Neglect of Ballot
Blamed on Poll Tax Nuisance
in a democracy and that taxes are

in democracy and that taxes are
inevitable and largely essential.
But they contend citizens
should not be put in the position
of being "penalized by registering
to vote" and being subjected to q
myriad of new taxes.
This reticence and the negative
attitude on poll tax payment are
not shared by get-out-the-vote
specialists in the non-partisan
League of Women Voters.
Big Electorate Urged.
They and others say nothing is
gained by refusal to pay a poll tax
just because a person doesn't ap-
prove of such a tax. The thing to
do, they declare. is to pay the tax,
register and vote, and build up the
State electorate to a point where
repeal Of the tax can be effected
eventually.
In that general connection, Il
is recalled that a former partial
stumbling block to registration
and voting in Maryland was re-
pealed within the last two years.
That was the requirement for
prospective voters to give formal
notice Of intention to vote at
least year before an election.
Here again, as in the case Of
so many other evident, but in
tangible, factors in discouraging
registration, authoritative esti-
mates Of numbers cannot be OBJ
tanned.
But it demonstrates that the
Virginia and Maryland lag in reg
istration and in the voting in
recent years results from a COM
bination Of conditions, provisions
and situations.
The problem of assuring an
adequate registration and a rep
resentative voting turnout boils
down to individual initiative, in
formation and responsibility. To
stimulate the initiative, provide
the proper information and re-
mind each citizen of his basic
duty depends upon the combined
and continuing efforts Of a lot
OF other people and ORGANIZATIONS.
