exists now, but it should be
distributed around the country
before a war. Clothing and
shelter probably would survive
any war in about the ratio
that people would survive it.
Many persons could be ex-
pected to be hungry, cold anu
shabby for some time, how
ever, and doubling up in un-
damaged homes might well be
common.
Some studies indicate that
the economy could start a
climb back to normality in a
surprisingly short time-even
in a war that destroyed cities.
The Rand Study
One Rand study, often cited,
often criticized, but not yet
superseded by a more thorough
investigation, concluded that
total destruction of American
cities would cost this country
one-third of its population.
one-haf Of its wealth and a
little more than half of its
manufacturing capacity. But
there would be enough left, it
was concluded, to restart the
economy and build to prewar
economic levels In 10 to 20
years.
A war that spared cities but
killed, say, Is million persons,
could be recovered from, eco
nomically, in less than 10 years,
the study said.
This study assumed that the
American people would be as
diligent and skillful in rebuild
ing transportation networks,
factories, stores and other facil-
tiles, etc., as were the Rus
slams and Germans after World
War II. It assumes farmers
would still have enough usable
land to glut the commodity
markets again.
It presumed that many per-
sons injured in the war would
die from lack of medical care
and that many would be saved
by first-aid measures of their
neighbors.
Those who survive could ex-
pect to have absorbed enough
radiation during and after the
war to shorten their lives and
affect some of their descend
ants for 80 generations.
Pessimistic Estimates
knowledge of the effects of
fallout is incomplete. so it is
prudent to lean on the pes
siniStic estimates. These are

other illness) several months to

tended parties at the Simp-
sons London residence.
The attractive svelte Bal
timore woman, who had great
charm and wit, impressed the
Prince again several years
later when she and her hus-
band were presented to his
parents at court.
AS he stood behind his
fathers throne and watched
Mrs. Simpson perform her
ceremonial curtsies he says he
was struck by the grace of
her carriage and the natural
dignity of her movements"
The Simpson marriage was
shaky for some time with
first a separation and then
a divorce action which Mrs.
Simpson filed in the fall of
1886 on the grounds of her
husbands infidelity. Her
first marriage had terminated
after her husband deserted
her.
By the time the Simpson
divorce was filed the royal
romance was obvious to the
world, although the British
press had a voluntary CEN
sorship on their actions. The
censorship ended naturally
after the abdication.
The Duke waited for five
months in the Austrian cas-
tie of Baron Eugene de Roths-
child and his American-born
wife while Mrs. Simpson
spent most of the period at
the Chateau de Cande in
Monts, France, which was
owned by the American in
dustrial engineer, Charles E.
BedauX.
Romantic Setting
Finally on April 81, 1887,
the couple were reunited in
the romantic setting of a
flower-bordered lake before
the chateau, which was to
be the site of the wedding.
In Difference to the coro-
nation of King George vi on
May IL, (the same day Ed
ward was to have been
crowned) the wedding was
put off until later.
AS the British people re-
joiced for their new King,
the Duke and Mrs. Simpson
sat quietly in the book lined

AS head of the Planning

between two parents, one
rural and the other urban.

ident of the VCPA, conceived
in l949 as an organization
of individual membership
open to all Virginians and
not a group of representa-
tives of political Jurisdictions.
Last year. this indomitable
woman was appointed by A.
Howe Todd, current VCPA
president, to reactivate the
VCPA Scholarships Commit
tee. This committee, in a
nut shell, is trying, through
endowments, to give qualified
students who win the scholar
ships at The University of
Virginia and at VPI, a highly
specialized course in trained
planning. To Mrs. Pickens,
raising funds for these schol-
arships is fostered by her
dominant interest in plan
ming throughout the State,
and Nation, but it is also
fostered by her deep concern
in the planning crisis now
shadowing Loudoun County.
Under Water
Because part of the Pick
ems Janelia Farm would be
covered by the waters of the
Seneca Dam, she says she has
leaned over backwards trying
to find reasons why the dam
would be a good idea.
Being a North Carolina
lady, she does not refer to it
as the dam dam (its county
nickname), but points to fall
lacieS in the reasoning of the
Army engineers on their four
points: water supply, water
quality control, flood control
and recreation.

homeowners who will, at Ger

face a sea of mud flats in

But eyes and ears of the
world were focused on a

At a few minutes after IL
noon a quarter of a century

former King of England, said
in a voice so firm and loud

magnificent tribute-he had
abdicated as King of England.

This was the end of months

The historic nuptials were

Because of his insistence
on making Mrs. Simpson his
bride, King Edward VIII was
forced to abdicate.
In phrases that will go
down in history on Deem

Edward had been King as
weeks, three days and 81
minutes. He was the first
in a line of so rulers to alb
dictate voluntarily in more
than a thousand years of
English history.
Something Original
The Duke recalls with
amusement his first meeting
with his strong minded
Duchess.
It was on a cold dark
winter afternoon in 1881.
Mrs. Simpson and her hus-
band were members of a fox
hunting week end party
which was also attended by
the then Prince of Wales.
The Prince noted that Mrs.
Simpson was anything but a
gay guest at the gathering
she was suffering from a
head cold, loathed hunting
and horses and the lodge was
far from comfortably heated.
Striking up a conversation,
the Prince asked the shipping
magnate's wife, if she, as an
American, didn't find Brit
aims lack of central heating
lamentable.
Il am sorry sir, but you
have disappointed me-" re-
piled Mrs. Simpson.
I'm what way?" asked the
Prince, amazed that anyone
would give him anything but
a polite. sweet answer.

who comes to your country
is always asked that same
question. I had hoped for
something more original from

replied.
The Prince was intrigued.
