DUKE AND BRIDE PAUSE IN-VENICE ON HONEYMOON

| “Self-Conscious’ Newlyweds Rest in.Hasty Dash To Castle.

(Continued from Page One)

they entered Lausanne, and left 15 minutes later for their Wasserleonurg castle. They are due there late tonight.

Cross Eastern France

They were wakened this morning during the halt at Lausanne when five carloads of cows arrived on a neighboring track, mooing mourn-

fully and shaking their joyless cow- |’

bells. : The country into which they went has been a honeymooners’ heaven for more than a century. Following the shore line of Lake Geneva with its placid blue water, the Savoy Alps looming on the French side, and terrace after terrace of vineyards rising a thousand feet above their train on the Swiss side, the train went on througn Switzerland. The train flashed by interspersed gray stone walls and terraces that looked from the windows like a huge patchwork quilt of green, brown, gray and purple.

. the honeymooners passed residences

of two rulers even less fortunate

ithan was the Duke. At Vevey could

be seen the villa which Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia is trying to sell because Swiss authorities will:

not let him live there. A few miles on was the villa of former King ‘Amanullah of Afghanistan, who lives quietly at the lakeside with a retinue of relatives and retainers, who are reported to be eating up his fortune. Beyond Montreux the train went past the three round towers of the Castle of Chillon, made famous by Byron’s “Prisoner of Chillon.” White swans dotted the castle lake. i Then beyond the lake the train advanced through the Rhone Valley and passed the snowcapped Dent du Midi (“tooth to the south”), ‘so named because its irregular flat top logks like a molar.

Guarded Closely

The honeymooners were guarded closely from the moment they motored away from the Chateau de Cande at Monts where they were married yesterday. Forty gendarmes awaited them at Laroche Station where they boarded the Orient Express. So close was the guard; in fact, that the passengers in the one car which was placed ahead of theirs in the train demanded beer in vain. Detectives would not permit ‘even waiters to pass through corridors of the honeymoon car. The Duke delayed the usually on-the-minute express eight minutes while he checked the baggage. The Duchess was pale while the Duke was cheerful. He left the Duchess alone in the motor car for a moment while he walked to the train to count the bags and help with them. Then, the Duchess following, along with a maid and their three dogs, they went [aboard and walked the length of the train to their car. 2 In the train, the Duke and Duchess locked themselves at once in their compartment.

Baby Is Returned to Mother Who Sold It for $200.

By United Press OS® ANGELES, June 4.—Two women, sisters-in-law, contested today for a six-weeks-old-baby which one sold to the other for $200 before it was born, and then regained on a.court order. The baby was back today with its mother, Mrs. Marian Brown Beard, 20. She had kept her bargain, and delivered her infant to Mrs. Evelyn Brown, but later decided she wanted the child. The child was transferred to the mother yesterday” in Superior Judge Goodwin J. Knight's courtroom.

® # o HE mother had pleaded: “Please, judge, give me back my baby. I let my sister-in-law take her away a few days after she was born but I can't stand it.” Closiea Stevens, a woman deputy sheriff, and a male deputy, went to Mrs. Brown's house for the child with a writ of habeas corpus. The foster mother. refused to give up the child. The deputies forced their way into the house and found little Nadeen Gloria in a bedroom clad in a diaper. Mrs. Brown screamed: in protest and the male deputy had to hold her while Deputy Stevens wrapped the baby in a blanket and carried

Judge Knight ruled: “The mother shall have the baby for the reason she had no legal right to attempt to sell her unborn child, and the other party was in error in attempting fo purchase the child.” .

The 40-car train was headed for the Republic Steel Corp. where 200 nonstrikers are in the plant. Philip Murray, S. W. O. C. head, said the Youngstown rail workers had refused to transport *strikebreakers, food or munitions” to strike-bound plants. Rail officials were not available for comment. Blocking of the train’ was considered another instance of the violence which three railroads complained of a few days ago when they asked an injunction against ihe strikers. In Warren, O., the postmaster refused to accept food for delivery into the plant, saying that such packages were “irregular shipments.” Republic officials continued flying food into the Warren plant, and offered $2000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any one found sniping at the crafts.

Mr. Doeppers, in accepting the explanation, took exception to the safety of emptying sewage into the river during the winter. He charged that the sewage endangered the drinking water of his town, saying that he feared the driven wells from which citizens get their drinking water would be poisoned by the sewage. In discussing the Harding St. construction which forced late opening of the Meridian St. station, Mr, Steeg said that only six months’ work remains on %he project, and it will be carried out next winter. He said work had been done late in the spring to take advantage of WPA labor. The Mayor told Mr. Doeppers that the Harding St. project is important. to all residents in and near Indianapolis. i Mr. Doeppers said he would take the Mayor's suggestion on operating funds to the Rocky Ripple Town Board for consideration. :

Sewage Not Diverted

Donald Bloodgood, Sanitary Department superintendent who also the meeting, said no sewage has been diverted into the river since the opening of the Harding St. sewer. : Mr. Bloodgood’s statement to the Mayor follows, in part: “There ‘has been no sewage dumped into the river by the North Side sewers since Tuesday, and the pollution of the river during the hot months comes from resorts north of Indianapolis. “Also the river is tested hourly by the Health Department and immediate prohibition of - swimming

F.D. R. PLAN FOR TVA CONTROLS SPLITS LEADERS

Norris Proposal Would Deny President Right to Set Utility Rates.

( Editorial, Page 16)

By United Press ° WASHINGTON, June 4.—President Roosevelt's plan for a national network of flood-control and power

J projects today touched off the most

complicated congressional controversy of the session as a serious obstacle to speedy enactment of the program. Squarely in the middle of the conflict was Senator Norris (I, Neb.), who made the Tennessee Valley Authority experiment a reality and who appeared to have clashed sharply with the Administration over the most far-reaching power legislation of his career. Just how great were the differences between Senator Norris and the White House was doubtful. The bill ‘which Senator Norris submitted to carry out the program presented to Congress in a Presidential message provided for a series of seven ‘corporate regional authorities” identical with the Tennessee Valley Authority, and’ each controlling its own rates and operations. The President would have supervisory authority but could not change the rates.

House Bill Different

In the House, Rep. Mansfield (D. Tex.), put in a’ bill similar to the Norris measure except to give the Federal Power Commission the authority to determine rates. also contained other administrative differences, including a commission, instead of corporate, form of authority with a separate agency for operating supervision. On the House side it was asserted definitely that the Mansfield bill represented the changes desired by certain Administration advisers and cabinet officers and presumably approved by the President. Sources close to Mr, Norris disputed the claim that the President approved the House measure. Senator Norris 1s expected to oppose the House provisions vigorously. The House bill also would take away the present” TVA operating and rate authority, and vest those powers in separate agencies and the Power Commisison. The present proposals are a “multiplication” of the Tennessee Valley project to a national scale and over a longtime range.

Lured to Gay Party at Ranch, ~ Hollywood's Extras Complain

By United Press HOLLYWOOD, June 4.—The District Attorney's office today investigated complaints that one of the movie studios had called out 125 extra girls in cowgirl uniforms, transported them to a ranch and placed them at the disposal of visiting salesmen for a wild party. One complaint came from a 20-year-old extra girl, who said one of the men attacked her. She was Patricia Douglas, 20, a pretty blond. Another girl, Ginger Wyatt, 19, made an affidavit saying Wallace Beery, the actor, had “rescued” her from the party. Mr. Beery, she said, was an invited guest but was not in harmony with the party. She described it as “the wildest, most drunken and worst party I ever saw.” Mr.

Beery, commenting today,

| said: “It was very orderly as far as

I could see.” The girls said they answered the studio’s call thinking they were reporting to work. When they reached the ranch and found it decorated like a miners’ camp of the fortyniner days, with ‘champagne and whisky on the tables, they still} thought it was to be just a “mob scene” before the cameras, they said. They soon learned, however, that they had been imported as real life entertainers, the girls said, and the boisterous sales executives began plying them with liquor and forcing amorous attentions upon them. Miss Wyatt said Mr. Beery ar-

rived late and plainly out of symp-

Observing her distress, she said, he walked across to her - table and politely offered to take her home. She accepted the offer, she said, and left while the party was still in its early stages. : Deputy District Attorney Eugene D. Williams said he had ordered the studio to surrender the man accused of assaulting Miss Douglas by Mon-

day and if it failed to do so, he|

would issue an arrest warrant. He said he wanted to question the man before taking action. His name was not revealed.

vesterday, the President reiterated his request for authority to reorganize the executive branch of Government. _ Dispute between House and Senate is delaying investigation of tax evasion and avoidance, requested in an urgent-message sent to Congress Tuesday by Mr. Roosevelt. The houses likewise are divided on procedure in establishing and administering the eight regional water, land and power resources authorities proposed by the President in his national planning message. The Administration’s billion and a half dollar relief bill was rammed through the House without major amendment. But a coalition of Senate Republicans and Democrats may be able to reduce it by 500 million dollars despite White House protests. Chief difficulty on the tax investigation is whether the tax evaders shall be named publicly. The Senate desires maximum publicity. The House is reluctant to vote the Treasury authority to subpena witnesses.

NRA Substitutes

The President’s plans to shift the New Deal from temporary to permanent foundations, to revive mosé of the principles of the late NRA and continue the substitutes which supplanted the outlawed Agricultural Adjustment Administration activities have been revealed as follows: | 1. Labor—shorter hours and higher wages; abolition of child labor and sweatshops; promotion of collective bargaining. 2. Industry — abolition of monopoly, unfair competition and dishonorable trade practices. 3. Agriculture—control of surpluses; better land use; improved marketing facilities for farmers; encouragement of farm co-operatives, and crop insurance. 4, General—cheaper electricity; better and cheaper transportation; low interest rates, sounder home financing; better banking; more comprehensive regulation of security issues; continued reciprocal trade agreements and slum elimination. 1
