natic marriage was raised.
This meant the wife would
be legally wed but would not
have royal rank and any
children could not succeed
to the throne.
Baldwin replied that he
did not think he could get
such legislation through Par
lament. He added that any
way, he would have to ask
the Premiers of the Domin-
ions-Canada. Australia. New
Zealand, South Africa.
The Prime Minister looked
hard at the King.
DO you really want me
to?" he asked.
The King replied that he
did.
That was where he made
his first big tactical mistake.
BY asking for their advice,
he automatically bound him
self to accept it.
At last. Baldwin had him
in his pocket.
From then on the King
didn't have a chance. The
pressure against him stiffen-
ed. 1t became almost un-
bearable.
Three Choices
Now feeling very secure in
his struggles with the King,
Baldwin offered him three
choices:
Abandon Mrs. Simpson.
Marry against the govern
ment's advice-which would
have brought on a resigna-
ton of the government and a
true constitutional crisis.
Abdication.

a way she did not perhaps
comprehend"
BY the summer of 1886, the
Prince of Wales was King,
his father having died.
He and Mrs. Simpson were
truly in love.
In the summer Of 1886. he
asked her-and a number of
other friendS--to accompany
him on an Adriatic cruise.
The pace of romance
quickened.
BY this time he knew he
wanted to marry her. The
question waS-hoW?
AS King he was the titular
head of the Church of Eng
land, which doesn't recog-
nize divorce.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Simpson
started divorce proceedings
against her husband, accus-
ing him of misbehavior with
another woman.
Learning about the di-
vorce, and suSpecting the
Kings interest in Mrs. Simp-
son, the Prime Minister had
a talk with his sovereign.
None too delicately he sug-
gested that Mrs. Simpson
should drop her divorce suit.
The King said in effect
that Mrs. Simpsons divorce
was no business Of his.
Baldwin didn't like it.
In early November, the
Kings secretary, Maj. Alec
Hardinge, told him the dam
of press silence was about to
break.
The secretary suggested
that Mrs. Simpson should
leave the country.
The King was outraged.
The Works
To Mrs. Simpson he said:
They are about to give me
the works"
He told the woman he now
loved very deeply that if the
government was opposed to
his marrying her, he was
prepared to go.
She cautioned him against
rash. quick action.
Baldwin called again.
He told the King that the
British people would never
tolerate Mrs. Simpson as
Queen.
The King told his Premier
that he was determined to
wed the American and if the
people and the government
wouldn't accept her. that he
was prepared to go.
That seemed to shake the
Prime Minister.

the King heard this cheer:
God save the King-from
Stanley Baldwin" He smiled
a weary smile.
1t was a gloomy night when
the King broadcasted his
abdication message to the ma
tion and the world.
"At long last" he began,
II am able to say a few
words of my own" He spoke
slowly and with great dra-
matte effect.
Il have found it impossi-
BILE to carry on the heavy
burden of responsibility and
to discharge my duties as
King as I would wish to do
without the help and the
support Of the woman I love"
"The woman ! love :"
The phrase was cranked
out in radio and telegraphic
messages across the world
it made thousands of
headlines in many languages.
The King stepped down,
saying: And now we all
have a new King. I wish
him. and you. his people,
happiness and prosperity
with all my heart. God bless
you all. God bless the King" +"

Some interesting comments
came out of the short talks
presented by past presidents of
the County Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs when they were
honor guests at the spring
luncheon meeting in Bethesda.
One of those unable to be
present was the 1920-22 presi-
dent, Mrs. Josiah Waters Jones,
now bedridden by paralysis at
the Kensington Gardens SAM
tarium. The nearly 90-year-old
Mrs. Jones wrote that during
her tenure the Federation per

ers to reverse their usual pro-
cedure by cutting the school
budget (then $5800), to increas-

Food for Peace Leader Advances
School Lunch Expansion Abroad

Expansion of school lunch
programs in underdeveloped
countries of the world will be
an early aim of President Ken
nedy's Food for Peace pro-
gram. George S. McGovern told
luncheon meeting of the Wom-
ans Suburban Democratic Club
at Normandy Farm last Friday.
According to Mr.. McGovern,
the Presidents special assistant
in charge of Food for Peace,
the average child's daily caloric
intake. in some parts of the
world, is equal to only one slice
of bread.
BY contrast, he cited the high
protein lunch that could be pro-
vided with U. S. surplus foods
beans, noodles, gravy, bread
and milk. We hope he said, to
provide these children with at
least one square meal a day,
adding that increased school at
tendance would probably be a
side benefit of such program,
especially in areas where public
education is just getting start
ed and is not generally accepted.
Food distribution by the
Peace Corps will be in addition
to the distribution now carried
on by 20 private voluntary
agencies, such as CARE. in go
countries. Mr.. McGovern point
ed out that food given outright

rency, in a plan now being
worked out, will not be labeled.

Almost anyone will agree that Mrs. O'Leary's COW booting over the Ian tern in old Chicago town was a pretty torrid affair, but according to the Los Angeles Mirror the hottest thing to come along since then is Mir. George Tapps and his ballet-tap troupe, "BORN TO DANCE".
 Billed as one of the greatest dance acts in modern show business, the Geo. Tapps aggregation is a new USO Shows Production, slated to be here on Adak at l93o on Friday, 21 April.
 Tapps, who worked for Texas Guinan at her vor1d-famous club when he was only 10, is recognized as one of the best professional dancers in entertain ment today. He is credited with the idea of combining the diverse technique of tap dancing and ballet to "te11 a story"--basic in such recent Broa adway its as "West Side Story" and "Destry Rides Again.. His accomplishments in the field of choreography include the original conceptions of "S1aughter on Tenth Avenue" md "Birth of the Blues".

are Scandalous, ordious and un-
justified" Mr.. Spaak said.
They hit innocent people who
are working, at the request of
the Congolese authorities, for
the welfare of the Congo. There
is no possible excuse for these
incidents.
THE United Nations inter-
vention was belated and ineffi-

those who failed to do their

News Monopoly

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. S (AP)
The president of the Interna-

day criticized the purchase OF
the Oregon Journal in Portland
by Samuel I. Newhouse Of New
York. Mr.. Newhouse also owns
the Oregonian, the Portland
morning newspaper.
Elmer Brown, ITU chief, said
in a press statement at the
unions national convention
here that "the growing trend
to control the communications
media by monopolies in the
publishing industry is a mount
ing danger"
The TTU, other printing
trades unions and the American
Newspaper Guild have been on
strike against both the evening
Journal and the Oregonian for
more than a year. The unions
established their own Portland
afternoon newspaper in compe-
tition.
Mr.. Newhouse owns IA news
papers and interests in others
Mr.. Brown charged the strike
was used by Mr.. Newhouse to
gain control of the Journal,
which was sold to Mr.. NeWhouse
for more than So million.
1T should have been obvious
the strikes and lockouts were
planned to bring about a New
house monopoly of the Port
land newspaper field" Mr..
Browns statement said.
