HIGH SOCIETY JITTERY
OVER COMING WINDSOR VISIT
WASHINGTON — Behind dosed
doors ia Washington there’s some
very vehement finger-nail biting go
ing on became 15 years ego the fin
% or naH bit rs were ignoring two la
c .-s they very much wish they bad
s'U
One the Dachas* of Windsor and"
tr .* bt: is her auat, Mr?. Buchanan

woman whose best.a: 4, a naval offi

She was invited around some on
the cold cast but mo-tly because

T ? Dc.h'ss’s aunt, Mrs. Merry

She stif keeps a sma’1 five

An ro r. w ‘he Duke and the
Duchess af Windsor are coming to
America: to Baltimore. Washingt r.
end Virginia where once the Duchess
lad stale hard sledding. The former
‘-'W.g Edwrd VIII of Great Britain
and his American u:.rn wife will be
in the natk.o't capital sometime in
November.
The really big question of he day
i.-. “What will the British Embassy
do?*’
In Vt asmneton lingo that mean?,
"Will the Eritlsh Ambassador. Sir
P ‘r.2ki L;nd ay. and his wife. Lady
I r.d#- y fsr.p of the Oyster Bay
t. s t h":t • the Windsors to the
wbas-\. '<* ;? understood the emtias
r j~i wait f * a “go ahead.” s-g
ral from Lond n. But if the sgnal
lomes, the affair will be as royal as
an.thine at Bml-irgh-m. The embas
sy is a huge and austere building,
and Lady I. rds y can take her roy
a’ty or leave it.
It .he Embassy entertains, the so- ;
r ul fiood-gates will swing wide open.
O'her eralfaGsies will dust off their
f otmer. aad light up like birthday
cakes.
Here and there a hostess with a
Ir -re enouch house and gilt-edged
so;:aT standing will turn up in the
nc of people sending out engraved ;
irritations to ’-ert “Their Royal ‘
II :y tresses, the Ihike and Duchess of
Windsor.”
The White House is expected to :
'e-d off the ffic'al entertaining—if (
t.-iy. Mrs. C -iell HuP. wife of the
secretary f rate, is expected to fol
w. While next ;n line would be
Mrs. Sumner Welles. w:fe of the as
sistant secret art- of state.
And could it b» that the modest,
onfc-time school teacher who is n w
the wife of John L. Lewis, the labor
leader, play hostess to the pair? Her
white Coloniai home filled with fine
antiques should certainly be adequate
setting for the meeting of Windsor
and Lewis. And Windsor has an
necr id he wan's to meet Lewis.
One other question that is keeping
Washington hostesses chilly is:
V 13 the Duke, who say? he is com
ing to the United States to study
housing and labor conditions, turn
“thumbs down” on all parties?
He placed his arm around her
waist.
And on her lips a kiss;
Then sighed, “ "Tis many a draught
I’ve had,
But not £:om a mug like this.”
A cannon ball traveling at a speed
of half a mile a second would take
80,000,000,000 years to reach the
most distant know®, star cluster.

SEARCH CONTINUES FOR
LOST lU. SsJAN AVIATORS
MOSCOW—Equipped for flying in
the polar night. four large airplane?
departed from Moscow for Rudolph
Island on the European side of the
North Pole to take up the search
lor the six Russian fi.ers who have
been missing in the Arctic since the
middle of August after having left
Moscow for the States.
This new aer:al searching expedi
tion is in charge of Ivrn Chuksnov
ky. veteran aviator. It will relieve
the aerial searching expedition which
is headed by Aviator Sheveleff and
which has be n bated at Rudolph
Island since September 24.
STOCK SALES ARE
EING DISCOURAGED
1 ASHING! ON—In an effort ap
parently to st.-m the selling tide on
:be New York Stock Exchange, the
I <deta’ Reserve Beard today in
Washington issued regulations which
:n effect makes it easier to buy se
.ur.ties than to sell them.
The new regulations go into effect
in a few days. Ifc y cut from 5"> pec
. n: to 40 per cent the amount of
cash traders must put up to purchase
stocks and re ;uire a 50 per cent mar
gin oa -hart sales.
Federal Reserve officials believe the
new regulations will cause a re-ad
justment of credit control and expect
them to encourage buying, and erect
a barrier aga.nst short selling.
ENGLAND INCENSED AT
SLAYING OF HER SOLDIERS
LONDON—!n British circles, the
greatest indication was manifested
t day over the kiting at Shanghai by
Japanese gunfire of three Royal Ul
ster Riflemen.
By British official circles the killing
of the three Ulster Riflemen is re
garded as a serious lengthening of
British casualties in China atributed
to Japanese gunfire. Formal com
ment by the Br'tish government is
withheld pending an official report
c: neerring them from Great Britain’s
diplomatic representative in China.
Labor Party Leader Herbert Mor
rison’s motion expressing a lack of
confidence in Premier Neville Cham
berlain’s foreign policy was not bas
ed particularly on the way in China.
