Deny English Queen Is Expecting Child Toss Cold Water On Published Reports — LONDON (INS) — Buckingham palace indirectly tossed cold water today on published reports that Queen Elisabeth la expecting another baby by announcing .a' list of the young monarch’s engagements tor November. A palace spokesman refused coldly to give any direct comment on the rujnors. This refusal to confirm or deny the report was tn accordance with the usual cudtom of withholding comment on matters affecting the queen's private life. Elisabeth and her husband. Prince Philip, now have two children. five-year-old prince Charles and three-year old Princess Anne. Bdt it was considered highly significant that the palace chose this particular morning, when it was being bombarded with telephone calls about the reported pregnancy, to issue the queen's schedule for dates nearly three months from now. The schedule showed- that her majesty will take part in a series of lengthy and tiring ceremonies at Buckingham Palace on November *.; 8, and id. Unofficial observers pointed out that numerous recent photographs of Elisabeth emphasise her slimness since her return from her recent Commonwealth tour. The pictures also show her constantly wearing her favorited nipped-waist-ed evening gowns. It was pointed out also that the young queen had been horseback riding on weekends and carrying out a full state program, plus other engagements, which normally would be restricted if she were expecting another child.

Annual Governors’ Conference Opened Opening Session Os Conference Today BOLTON LANDING. N. Y. (INS) —Colorado Gov. Dan Thornton de dared today that the U. 8. must strengthen her free world alliance is she la to survive as a member of that world. Thornton asserted in n speech prepared for delivery at the opening session of the 441th annual governor*' conference at Bolton Landing that "what concerns us here" is "survival for the United States of America." He said: “We are not any longer a continental island, capable of isolation from the aggressors of other lands. “We must strive to strengthen our free alliances and friendships with other countries. To survive, we have to survive as a member es a world Coifftnunity of free nations." Thornton's statement was in eharp contrast to the opinion expressed Sunday by a fellow Repablicah governor, J. Bracken Lee of Utah. Lee had said he was considering irging repeal of federal income taxes in order to reduce the amount of money the U., S. would be able to spend abroad. j Meanwhile, although the theme of “let's work together" is the official conference aim. the unofficial picture seemed quite different. ■ Politics has taken a top priority in behind-the-scenes discussions but the heads of state administrations aren't talking too much for publication. Only the most cautious statements were elicited from the gov-' er'nors on the upcoming guberna torial and congressional —with the exception of Democrats in the solid South and a few Republicans jn equally solid GOP farvn strongholds. New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey turned aside any attempt to get a political forecast by .referring to his statement on arrival that as host he has no intention to discuss politics at the sessions. Gov. Walter J. Kohler said the GOP In Wisconsin is figuring on a hard fight but hopes to add one nfore corfttressional seat to the eight now held by the party. One more governor who declined to spefik on the poHtical outlook "at this-time" was Ohio Democrat Frank Lausche. who said he had come to the conference to discuss mutual iwohlems and not get tied dp in politics. California Gov. Goodwin Knight, a candidate for re-election, expressed hope for his own success. >ut refus'd to commit himself on the important congressional conesta in the etate.
