Queen Presides At - i Gala Garden Party 7,000 Are Guests \ For Garden Party LONOON UP — Queen Elizabeth 14 presided today at the first gala garden party of the coronation year at B,uckingham Palace. Seven tho'uetfnd gdests from the United States, the Commonwealth apd much of the rest of the world filled t|ie vast palace lawns under brilliant spring sunshine. A great crowd gathered outside the palace to see the distinguished guests ■ arrive while behind the spike-topped walls the queen moved gracefully among the throng, nodding and smiling to the visitors Long striped awnings covered tables where guests took tea and cakes, iiced coffee and lemonadel Military bands played. \ .. Another large crpwd. so large that police reinforcements were called tb break it up. gathered at the entrance tb Westminster Abbey where Queen Mother Elizabeth, Princess Margaret arid other members of the royal family were rehearsing their own procession. Police; had to qlear a path through the crowds for arriving dignitaries, but before they could do so the earl and countess of Harwood were engulfed by goodnatured sightseers and had to struggle through to the abbey entrance. Crowds jamming London swelled as airliners from the United States circled London's two airports for as much as an hour awaiting their turn to land. Throngs packing London's streets almost paralyzed traffic. London and Northolt airports Were scebes’of confusion. Hundreds of visitors lined up for customs and immigration clearance as planes, hearing nufre visitors drpned overhead. Tourists were startled when 24 Negroes at London Airport sudden-

Ily prostrated themselves in horn- ; age to their arriving chieftain, Aderlmil Oni gs Ife, Nigeria. He w'ore a magnificent golden robe. Police expressed growing concern over the milling of tourists and townsmen in the streets. The rush hour traffic jam was so heavy Wednesday night that buses suood still for 15 minutes and thousands of weary, unhappy workers got but and walked home. Board Os Accounts Assails Settlement Implies Action Os Doubtful Legality y INDIANAPOLIS UP — The Indiana board of accounts said today the former state administration settled a $17,011 cigaret tax claim against a 'Whiting firm for $1,500. The board’s statentent also implied the action was of doubtful legality since its records do not show approval of the 1 governor.’’ State law requires that no claim in favor of the state can be compromised without approval of the governor and the attorney general. Chief examiner Robert R. Wickersham said the alleged tax “write off” wasi revealed in an audit of the records of the alcoholic beverage commission's cigaret tax division. Hie said the settlement was made with the Certified Cigaret Sales firm of Whiting. Wickersham said the tax liability accrued during the period from July 1, 1»49, to June 30, 1952. 'He said On -May 9, 1951, the commission got a letter from Joseph P. Sullivan, Whiting attorney, which contained $1,500 and a note stating the money fwas in \ full settlement, compromise and release of alleged tax delinquency owed by Certified Cigaret ales.” - The note claimed the money was remitted “on the basis of the commission’s offer as relayed through Allen A. Appleton, deputy attorney general assigned to the commission.” The chief examiner said the settlement was approved 'by former A/BC members Bernard <E. Doyle, Glen A. Markland and Walter A. .Rice. Former commissioner William Steinberger opposed the settlement. 'Meanwhile, in Indianaipolta, Steinslberger said he voted against It on technical grounds and said he felt the settlement was justified since many of the cigarets .were sold to a Chicago firm. Steinsberger’s statement was supported by Ralph lElam, an ABC auditor, who said further evidence showed alljout $28,000 worth of cigarets were sold to a Chicago company, and therefore exempt from Indiana tax. ( Wickersham’s report also said that prior to the period" covered by the audit, certified tax sales owed $7,3816 and this amount was adjusted tb $6:36&. and “was dismissed upon affidavit of a Mr. Mandas and a IMr. Lamip.” The owner was Michael Mandas who transferred the in No vernier bf 1949 to James Lamp. State officials said the earlier tax liability apparently was dismissed when Lamp claimed his company records were stolen from a car.

14 French Soldiers Escape From Reds Travel Jungles To . Elude Communists HANOT, Indochina, UP — A ragged band of French soldiers arrived today in Luang Prabang, royal capital of Laos, after a sixweek, 180-mile trek through unexplored jungles to escape the Communists. The 14-man group, rejnnants of the first post to fall before the Red invasion of Laos, straggled to a heroes\ welcome in the Frenchheld city. The all-European group included several Germans from the Foreign Legion. \ \ 1 The weary soldiers said they often had to fight off pursuing Viet Minh Communist guerillas. Once they were attacked in head-high grass. Another Red attack came as they bivouacked Without even a fire to frighten off wild beasts. The group escaped April 12 when the Communists captured the Samneau Fort, 120 miles southeast of Hanoi. I — They followed a route through country rising to 8,500-foot mountain peaks. The last part of their trip took them down the Khan River, where they were able to float on rafts. News of the saga came as Gen. Rene Cogny, new commander on' the northern front around Hanoi, appealed for “more than 30” American helicopters to evacuate wounded and for liaison missions. He said lack of helicopters cost the lives of “numerous” wounded who could not be saved in the Laos fighting. American planes—“ Flying Boxcars” manned by U. S. civilians — already are flying French supplies on the Laos airlift.

Water Shortage In Three Texas Citips Great Lakes Regiort Bathed By Cool Air By UNITED PRESS A. cool mass of, Canadian air bathed the Great Lakes region today while the New England area was pelted with occasional showers. Other parts of the nation were still recovering from such weather blows as drouth, floods, and insect swarms. ' In Port Isabel, Tex., authorities said today the city was threatened with “bpne dryness” within a matter of' hours and called for tank trucks to haul in an emergency supply of water. J. J. Jaudon, secretary of ’the water board, said »‘wehl pull the meter of anyone caught using water for anything but the most essential needs.” 1 s> . Port Isabel was the third Texas city to face a*critical water shortage within two<days: Wichita Falls and Fort Worth both went on water rationing progrems. s f . El Dorado, Kan., was at the other end of the weather scale. A flash flood of the usually quiet Walnut River boiled through' 60 residential blocks, killing one person and sending more than 150 persons scurrying for housetops and trees. City manager Harley McMillen sai£ the flood was under control although there were ;still some families unaccounted 'for. Meanwhile Minnesota farmers with brooms,' sticks and rakes teamed with dusting pilots to beat dpwn svy'arms of tent caterpillars. And in Posey County, Ind., hordes of army worms of acres of grass and leaves. .. A Wisconsin expert warned dairy state farmers they facetl the same danger unlesi they took immediate action. i ‘ “ 1 .

Nathan Twining, chosen to head the air force, waited their turns. \ IKE SAYS CUT (Continued From Page One) ing up with a reasonable answer. Mr. Eisenhower said he recognizes that some military chiefs may consider that reduced military strength jeopardizes national security. But he said the administration's program is what the tpp Pentagon civilian officials and the joint chiefs of staff, as a group, consider to be the best overall solution to the problem at this particular moment. He-<nefused te say whether he specifically approved the military budget cuts. He Would not go beyond saying that he personally passed all basic military policy questions.
