SINCLAIR LEWIS MAKES SWEDE COURT DEBUT Congratulates Royalty for Keeping Awake at Nobel Ceremony. liy United Press STOCKHOLM, Dec. 12. —The European court debut of Sinclair Lewis of Sauk Center, Minn., passed without incident last night, except for two humorous interludes. Lewis and three other Nobel prize winners were King Gustaf’s guests of honor at a formal banquet at the royal palace. First, some of the bemedaled and multi-ribboned guests overheard the American author congratulating members of the Swedish royal family on their achievement of keeping awake during the two-hour ceremony in which the Nobel prizes were presented Wednesday. Second, Lewis fumbled in his pocket for a cigaret when he noticed King Gustaf smoking before the end of the banquet. His visible relief at the thought of a cigaret after abstaining from smoking during the long meal was cut short when he was warned that only the king could smoke while the banquet was being served. Lewis Refused a “Smoke” Lewis let the cigaret repose in his pocket, but his face clearly reflected a republican sentiment, amid royal surroundings. Ladies in waiting with their long trains and puffed sleeves interested Lewis, as did the fact that the king had his own waiter, who also wore decorations, "perhaps for the glorious soup he cooked in 1896,” Lewis suggested. The ninety-eight at the banquet included members of royalty, the cabinet, the British and German ministers and the United States charge d’affairs. The invitations told the guests to arrive at 7:30, but added cautiously, "’home-going at 9:30.” “Date” with King's Brother Other Nobel prize winners present were Dr. Karl Landsteiner of New York, Professor Hans Fischer of Munich and Sir Chandrasekhara Raman of Calcutta. The meal served on 200-year-old silver plates, included caviar, consomme, salmon, pheasant royal, strawberry ice, fruits and cakes, which the guests consumed with sherry, red wine, champagne, port and liquers. Mrs. Lewis, who accompanied her husband to Stockholm, later confided to him: “I made a date with the king’s brother for Sunday.” UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ASK DRY LAW REPEAL Conditions ‘Couldn't Be Worse’ Cry Upper Classmen. Bu United Press SEATTLE, Dec. 12. Admitting that they w'ere too young to be familiar with conditions “before prohibition,” but maintaining that the situation “couldn’t be worse than it is now,” senior and junior students at the University of Washington have voiced a unanimous demand for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Denunciation of drinking at football games and other college gatherings featured a recent joint assembly of the two classes. Although the meeting was called to pass representation on the board of control, the prohibition question was introduced and stole the spotlight.
