DUKE INVITES ' CLOSE FRIENDS FOR WEDDING Personal Friends, But Not As Official Representatives iamdon, May 19 <U.R>—A small i group of loyal friends of the Duke ' ■of Windsor will go to Monts, France. June 3 to attend his wed ding lo Mrs Wallis Warfield for i whom lie gave up his throne, It I I was announced today. "There will be about 20 guests from England, all personal friends of the duke.” said Lieut. Dudley Forwood, his permanent equerry | who came here with papers connected with the wedding. j "They will go as friends, not ' in any official capacity." Since his arrival yesterday, For- | wood has visited a number of the , duke’s friends. A tew ot these, alone among the millions who cheered the duke as king, will join those from the con-' tinent who will make up the wed- 1 ding party at the Chateau de Caude where the duke and Mrs. Warfield are staying. There was no further doubt that King George VI had deferred to I the government in agreeing that i no member of the royal family ■ should go to Monts and. by attend ance at the ceremony, give royal jor official countenance to the | wedding which government and church so fiercely opposed before . the abdication. Announcement of the duke’s , wedding day was but a brief sen- ' satiou in London. What talk there is, centers in higher circles, not on the wedding itself but on the day selected; the birthday of the late King j I George V, Windsor's father, who I I himself sternly reproved the duke i I for bis association with Mrs. i ___________________ COONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) •! — 0 EXPECT LARGE : CROWD AT MEET District Library Meeting Will Be Held Here 11 Friday Reservations for the dietrict 11-1 1 brary meeting to be held in the auHditorium of the Decatur public 11-i j brary Friday are rapidly being rejcelved here, Miss Ruth Winnes, lo- ' ■ cal librarian and chairman of the j meeting stated today.

J. Kelly, division manager of i the utility, if approval is given by 1 the local municipalities. Mayor Holthouse stated that the proposition had not been presented to the city, although the city had received correspondence from "The liitiee A'l-iance," Detroit, which j sponsored the piping ot natural gas to the auto city. No action was ever ! taken on the resolutions presented and local officials did not know t the Michigan Gas Transmission ■ Corp., distributor*! of gas in this teritory was connected with the Citiee Alliance. In addition to Fort Wayne, the towns which are a part of the system are Bluffton, Decatur, Columbia City, Roanoke. Ossian, Tocein Preble, South Whitley and New Haven. Permission i« to be requested from the affected towns to change j the character of the gas and, -if this approval is obtained, the contract between the utility and the Michigan Gas Transmission Corporation will be submitted to the public ser-

vice commission at Indianapolis for 'approval. The Michigan Gas Transmission Corporation will bring the i natural gas to the Fort Wayne sys- ! tern .from the fields in the Texas i panhandle region. The entire cost of the changeover to natural gas, which will be approximately $200,000, will be borne by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, according to Dean H. Mitchell, vice-president and general manager of the company. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Kelly said that the use of natural gas would reI suit in rate reductions but that j detailed rate studies had not yet been completed so that the actual rates are not available at this time.

The flowers are crepe paper replicas of the famous flower that grew in France and Flanders Field during the disasters of the World j War. j Each flower is made with care by a disabled veteran now in a 1 soldiers’ hospital. Those in this j territory come from the Marion hospital. “The significance of these flowers,” Mrs. Roop stated, “come from the sacrifices of thousands of brave young Americans, who died in their country's services on the battlefields of France. “The making of these flowers provides employment for hundreds of disabled war veterans. The work is given only to those who receive no other government com-1 pensatlon. Preference is given to those who have families or dependents." Members of the auxiliary will conduct the sale of the popples on the streets of the city and other ' communities of the county on | Poppy Day.

CHARGES STEEL COMPANY WITH INTERFERENCE I Says Republic Steel Interfering With Workers’ Election Pittsburgh, May 19. (U.R> Philip Murray, chairman of the steel workers organizing committee, today charged that the Republic Steel corporation has sent policemen and "thugs" into Aliquippa. Pa., "to interfere with the govern i ment-supervised election" schedtil ed for tomorrow in the Jone's and Laughlin Steel corporation. As national labor relations board officials immediately opened an investigation, Jones and Laughlin issued a statement in which it said it is “neither directly nor indirectly involved in any attempt to wreck the election" to determine whether the S. W. O. ('. should represent the 27,000 J. and L. employes in collective bargaining. "If an attempt is being made from any source whatever to wreck this election," the Jones and Laughlin announcement said, "it is not being made by this (for poration or with its knowledge.' Mr. Murray's statement that 'such I information must have been known I to officials of J. and L.’ is untrue. “We went into this election under the Wagner act upon the assumption that it would be demo cratic and peaceful way ot settl ing labor organization issues. i "We also assumed that under the supervision of the national labor relations board, the election would be fairly and respectably conducted." Murray’s charges came as prounion and anti-union forces among Jones & Laughlin employes en gaged in last-minute electioneering on the eve ot the largest inI dustrial election ever held. The steel union leader named seven men who, he said, have been sent into Aliquippa. He announced that he “was com polled" to give his information to Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsylvania and to the federal government and revealed that secret op I eratives from both governments are now in Aliquippa "I publicly charge.” Murray ' said, "that the Republic Steel corporation has sent the heads of its ' police force and thugs into Aliquippa in the last few days, first of ; all to break the recent strike at ' Jones and Laughlin Steel corporation plant there, and now to in--1 terfere with the government-super- ■ vised election to be held there to- ' morrow.

COMPROMISES ON COURT BILL ARE SUGGESTED Some Lx afters, Foreseeing Defeat, Seek To Reach Compromise Washington. May 19 — (U.R) — I New administration strategy designed to save, probably by com- ■ promise, at least part of President I Roosevelt's controversial judiciary program today hinged on a poll of sentiment of a dozen uncommitted senalora. The poll was expected to ’-e/ 'al whether an administration compromise likely to be evolved from the substitute court plans of Sen. M. M. Logan, D., Ky.,-- was advis--1 able to avert senate defeat of the i original court program. Although President Roosevelt ' stood pat against compromise, some congressional leaders admitted privately the fate of the court program hung In the balance as a result of retirement of Justice Willis Van Devanter and the adverse vote of the senate Judiciary committee. Senate majority leader Joseph T. Robinson, D„ Ark., who has been mentioned as a possible suc-

cessor to Van Devanter. said that he liaT no statement on developments at this juncture. Other administration leaders, refusing to concede the court bill ■ was dead, admitted developments made compromise more likely. Many of these leaders frankly I fear that insistence by Mr. Roosevelt on a showdown fight on his original plan may split party lines so widely as to threaten future | democratic unity. I They point to the etnbarrassi ment which would follow rejection ' by the overwhelmingly democratic senate of the plan proposed by I their presidential leader and note significantly that the main fight • has developed on purely intra party i lines with republicans taking a ‘secondary part in opposition. In . I this connection the judiciary committee adverse report on the bill i! is being drafted by three demoI cratic senators, two of them parly members cited by I’ortmaster General Ja-:.->s A. Farley as likely subjects of reprisals if they persisted in opposing the court bill. , Nevertheless no indication >f compromise has been publicly given by the White House. While congressional leaders have favored a change of front, the only official word from the White House has been no compromise. Impartial rechecks of the un- ; committed senators Indicated that I both sides were a few votes short lof victory as far as definitely ; pledged votes are concerned. : Among those not publicly or privj ately committed, the administra- ! Hon appeared lo have an even I chance of gathering enough to get at least a tie vote in the senate i if the pending bill should finally I come to a showdown. Opposition leaders, including ■ Sens. Burton K. Wheeler, D., ! Mont., and Edward R. Burke, D., ■ Neb., insisted that the original | bill for addition of six justices to the court was dead and that they 1 had sufficient strength in the senI ate to defeat any compromise proI posal. The most discussed compromise ' plan was that proposed by Logan, ; wlio used the proposal of Sen.
