Queen Mothers Intent
To Remorry Denied

LONDON. May 20 (AP.-
Press reports that Queen
Mother Elizabeth intends to
marry the treasurer of her
household were denied by his
lawyers today. I-
The New York Daily News,
in a copyrighted story from
London, said the 59-year-old
widow of King George VI
planned to marry Sir Arthur
Penn. "a, if she could get per-
mission from her daughter,
Queen Elizabeth II.
Sir Arthur's lawyers said they
were authorized to state that
the Daily News report is wholly
without foundation.
The News had said protocol
decreed that the widow of a
monarch should not remarry
and that the Queen Mothers
plans have created a tense
situation in the royal family"
The report quoted sources
close to British royal circles"
Denials of stories about the
private lives of the Royal
Family are rare in Britain.
The Queen Mother is out of
the country, touring Southern
Rhodesia in Central Africa.
Widowed eight years ago, she
is still an attractive and
gracious woman and one of

The subcommittee, in voting
earlier against granting the
money for the nuclear plane,
had said such action would not
terminate the project. 1t noted
that some SIS million in the
Defense Department appropri-
alton bill plus some money left
over from the Atomic Energy
Commissions budget would be
available to carry on the work.
1t recalled "the very irregu-
lar history" of the project dat
ing back to 1916 and noted that
the Joint Chiefs of Staff "have
determined that there is no
specific military requirement
for nuclear powered aircraft. 4"
Sees Billions Needed
The committee said a billion
dollars had been provided al
ready for the project and more
billions will be needed. with
the prospective date for ac-
quiring a useful aircraft prob
ably five to eight years in the
future.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion has been in charge Of the

For the Aces operating ex-
penses and construction pro-
grams the committee allotted
$2.586, ,060,000. a reduction of
only $14,240,00o' exclusive of
the nuclear plane project.
Largest allotment was $891.-
le8,100 for civil functions of
the Army, mainly river and
harbor and flood control prof.
ects. An estimated 400 of these
projects are financed in the

The committee action, by a

motion of Representative Ford,

the project was too nebulous

allowed less than 7 per cent of

The FPC last October 81 ap-
proved the pipeline and left the
rate of return open for future
determination.
Mr.. Freeman said the FPC
staff favored a ga per cent
rate of return and was pressing
its views on the commissioners.
MidweStern had no opportunity
on record to challenge the
Staff'S position. he said, so the
company was within its rights
in contracting the commission
erS.
Suggests Formal Talks
Mr.. Freeman also confirmed
earlier testimony that he
told Commissioner Frederick
Stueck. at a cocktail party in
Phoenix, Ariz., that he hoped
the commission would decide
the case before the November ,
deadline and "give us a deci-
sion that we could use"
Mr.. Harris suggested that all
the fuss could have been
avoided and all questions of
propriety overcome, if Mid
western had asked for a formal
conference with the FPC and
all parties in the case, instead
Of talking privately to individ-
ual commissioners.
Mr.. Corcoran talked to Com
misSioners Jerome K. Kuyken-
dali, Arthur Kline and William

day after Mr.. Freeman talked
to Commissioner Stueck in
Phoenix.
Mr.. Freeman, who COM
planned about the Slowness of
.FPC actions, said the FPC staff
frequently opposes gas COM
panies.
He said he did not instruct
Mr.. Corcoran to deliver an
"ultimatum" to the commits

He indicated he will propose

Mr.. Harris comments sug-
gested that he favors legislative
restrictions against contacts
with the commissioners by the
FPC staff. as well as by COM

Mr.. Harris expressed his
views after hearing N. w,

western Gas Transmission Co.,
acknowledge that he has talked
privately with all members of

13 years.
Merits" and Procedures
Mr.. Freeman said Midwest
ern or its parent company,
Tennessee Gas Transmission
Co., has had cases pending be-
fore the FPC at all times dur
ing that period. But he said
he did not mean to imply that
he discussed these cases on. all
occasions.

that at some time in my con-

body would call merits was dis

Since others in the gas busi-
ness also talked privately with
the commissioners, Mr.. Free
man said. ''if I had not con-

Mr.. Freeman steadfaStly de-

not the least wonder was
their first encounter with a

They were driving in their
car with the top down and
their two children in the back
seat when they paused to look
at a mother bear with her
cubs. Suddenly the mother
bear left her cubs, walked over
to their car and got right into
the back seat sending the
frantic passengers in all di-
rections. Seemed that she
had shifted the bag of candy
the little girl had and when
she finally found it she left
the car, threw the bag to her
cubs and went and lay on
some snow as if to cool off
after her efforts. The de

The Belgians sleep in the
