HE DUCHESS SAYS:
I Stood Quite Alone
And Defenseless-

The Duchess of Windsor re-
vealed today that she wavered
in the eleventh hour Of her
romance with the King Of
England-and that had I had
my way" she might not have
married him.
After 20 years of official ST.
lence, the Duchess made this
statement in the first INSTALL
ment of her biography. This
is MY Side of The Story" pub
lished in the current issue Of
McCall's magazine.
The former Wallis Warfield
Of Baltimore. who became one
of the worlds most talked
about women, writes IT was
unprepared and unarmed" for
the tumultuous world crises
precipitated by her love affair
with Edward VIII, now the
Duke Of Windsor.
Rather late in life I found
myself not only in love but
loved as few modern women
could ever expect to be loved.

a vast empire seething. and
with the most obscure details
Of my previously unnoticed
existence reverberating in the
four corners Of the EARTH"
writes the Duchess. when
these extraordinary happenings
overlook me, slowly at first.
then with the rush of an ava
lanche, I was unprepared and
unarmed. Nothing that ] had
known before or learned seemed
to apply to my new circum-
stances. I stood quite alone
and defenseless in the eye Of
the storm. Mistakes were made
by me and by others whom I
might have influenced but for
the lack of communication and
understanding. Had I had my
way, when at the eleventh hour
full understanding finally came
to me, this story would have
had a different ending, If in
deed there had been occasion
to write it at ALL"
COnfesses to Lack Of Reason
The Duchess also confessed
she was the type Of woman who
rarely looks before she leaps
and then trusts to fate. She
writes:
ut is admiringly remarked
OF some people that they have
arrived. BY this is meant, /
suppose, that their affairs have
progressed according to some
carefully disciplined plan to a
desired conclusion. With me,
however. it has been aTcase of

than not in defiance Of the
maxim Of never leaping before
taking a prudent look. Quite
apart from other differences.

woman's full share. All ! can
say is that, everything taken
together, things have worked
out better than I had any
right to expect"
And she reflects. Perhaps
the only useful thing ad-
versity has taught me Is that
women were never meant for

Stevenson Chance
Is Seen in Jersey

TRENTON. N. j.. Aug. % lP.
Gov. Robert B. Meyner says
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential candidate, has .
chance of carrying New Jersey
in 1856.
The Governor told a news
conference Mr.. Stevenson is a
stronger candidate than in 1852
because he won the nomination
by his own efforts. In 1852,
President Eisenhower carried
New Jersey by a 100000 vote
margin over Mr.. Stevenson.
The Governor said he expects
to spend his September and Oc-
tober evenings campaigning for
the Democratic candidates. He
said he would hit all 81 counties
but that out-of-State speaking
engagements would be few and
far between"

u.s. Million Aided
BY Korea 81 Bill,
Now a Years Old

-Four years old this week, the
Korean CT bill has given Is
million veterans training and is
expected to serve another million
before it expires in 1865. the
Veterans Administration said
today.
One-third of those in training
or finished with training have
taken high-level professional,
semi-professional and technology
ical courses. In the Nation. only
one-tenth of the total male labor
force is in those fields.
The VA predicted the training
program is nearing its peak. 1t
probably will reach plateau
during the 1861 school year,
officials said. About 100000
veterans will be in training then,
with 100000 in college, the VA

Woman Slain
In Home Row

A man killed his thrice-wed
commonlaw wife early today in
their home. then critically
wounded himself, with a shotgun,
police reported.
The woman's mother, who was
in an adjoining room. said the
double shooting followed a visit
to the pair by one of her daugh-
ter's former husbands. The
home is at 6l2 T street NV.
Capt. Richard j. Felber
said Ethel Worlds. 4S. colored,
screamed for help before the H.
gauge shotgun silenced her. The
husband. George Ruth. 40, col
ored. was listed in critical condi-
ton at Freedmen's Hospital, his
shoulder and chest torn by buck
shot.
The woman's mother, Mrs.
Lena Ware. said the former hus-
band talked to the couple. then
left the home. She said she
heard her daughter and Ruth
arguing loudly, then the daugh-
ter screamed for help.
The shotgun doomed once and
the daughters voice was stilled
the mother said. Then, she said
the man exclaimed, I'm sorry
! didn't mean to do that. I'm
going to kill myself" The shot
gun sounded again, the mother
said, and she burst into the room
to find the two.

iii he got the word from the
President he wanted Mr.. Nixon,
Mr.. Stassen would drop his fight.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagertv said he did
not know of any statement the
President would make or whether
he would make one. Mr.. Hagerty
also told reporters he knew of
no list of acceptable" candi-
dates prepared by the President.
1t has been rumored the Presi-
dent might produce such a list
at the last moment as he did
lin 1852.
Mr.. Hagerty was asked:
rs this still an open conven-
ltion?"
With wide grin, the Presi-
dents secretary replied:
Sure"
Mr.. StaSsen's address to the
convention. if it is made, may
add a touch of drama to this
convention. which up to this
point has been lacking. This
gathering of Republicans to
name their national ticket has
been cut and dried up to this
point.
Mr.. Hagerty's only response to
queries regarding the Presi-
dents position on the vice presi-
dental nomination was to refer
reporters to three presidential
press conferences, held February
l29. August and August 8. At
the first of these conferences the
President said it was customary
to nominate the presidential
candidate before taking up the
matter of picking a vice presi-
dental nominee. During the
others the President said Mr.
Nixon was acceptable and he
would De delighted to have him
on any ticket.
Dewey to Speak
Since the convention will take
up the selection of a vice presi-
dental candidate Immediately
after the President has been
renominated, Mr.. Eisenhower
will have to work fast if he is to
make any statement regarding
the vice presidency before the
roll call of the States for nomi-
nations.
Former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York was to deliver the
only address of today's conven-
ton Session-just before the
nomination of Mr.. Eisenhower
Gov. Dewey played an important
part in the Eisenhower nomina-
ton in 1952-holding New
York's big delegation firmly in
hand to support the presiden-
tial nominee.

In the headquarters of the

They speak disapprovingly of
Mr.. Stassen's "use and abuse OF

At the convention hall, the
Governor sits beneath his States
standard as do all the well-dis-
ciplined legions here, wildly
intent on the speakers and the
pageantry. He is in an ambigu-
Gus position, but then he has
been since last winter. when he
was first suggested as a vice
presidential possibility.

The Governor seems to I'LL his

he was.
Much as I was then" he re-
piled with twinkle.
The calm around him has
been shattered to this extent.
One of the Bay State delegates,
Mrs. Irene Thresher, a member
of the State Legislature. has
protested to Boston newspapers.

Webb Beats Minis
In Dull l0-Rounder

CHICAGO, July 10 (P).-Ells-
worth (Spider) Webb, an 11-to-5
underdog making his first To-
round start, scored a unanimous
decision over experienced Holly
Minis of Washington, D. c., last
night in a dull televised bout in
the Chicago Stadium.
Webb, %, 1852 American
Olympic champion just two
months out of the Army, slapped
Minis almost at will and got
little punishment in return ex-
cept in the early rounds. Webb
weighed 1871 and Minis 157.
Referee Frank Sikora scored
it 100-89 under the Illinois
system of 10 points per round
for the winner. Judge Harold
Marovitz scored it 99-91 and
Judge Spike McAdams, $3.50.
Minis manager, Nick Trotta,
said in the dressing room after
the fight that the 10th ranked
middleweight was not in shape.
