monies so familiar and dear to the | heart of veteran politicians. 1 The Congressmen, virtually the only persons admitted to the Capitol rotunda through closely-drawn police lines, staged a notable dis=| sent in the matter of attire. Many wore customary morning clothes. | But almost an equal number took note of the temperature and donned summer linens, Cheers resounded from the crowds in the Capitol plaza and the party ascended the Capitol steps and entered the rotunda. First persons to greet Their Majesties inside the rotunda were Vice President Garner and House Speaker Bankhead. Then as Their Majesties stood on a blue plush rug, which spared their feet from the tiring sandstone rotunda flooring, the members of Congress filed by. Borah First in Line Senators were introduced to the King and Queen by Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Foreign Relations Committee on a basis of senority. That made Senator Borah (R. Ida), a frequent critic of British policy, first in line. Senator Borah, whose distaste for social functions almost equals that of the Vice President, bowed to the! pleas of Senator Pittman and State! Department protocol officers and | appeared in formal morning clothes. He said he hadn't worn such attire in about 35 years. After introducing Their Majesties to the Senators, among whom was a lone woman—Hattie Caraway (D. Ark.)—Senator Pittman stepped aside to permit Rep. Sol Bloom, Acting Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, to present House members. Bloom Gets Help Rep. Bloom, faced with the awesome task of trying to remember the names of all the 435 members when he presented them, made sure that there was no slip. He employed the services of Lewis Deschler, House parliamentarian, | who memorizes every name before | Congress becomes two weeks old. | The Congressional women stood firm on the noncurtsying style set yvesteraay by Mrs. Roosevelt. Each, beginning with Mrs. Caraway, greeted the visitors with a simple handclasp like their male colleagues. The Queen inquired of the women members of the House how many members of their sex were in the Chamber. “Cousin Elizabeth” Rep. W. R. Poage (D. Tex), who with his Texas colleague, Nat Patton, paused briefly to chat with the King and Queen, said Rep. Patton greeted the Queen with the words: “I'm glad to see you, Cousin Elizabeth.” “He told me,” Rep. Poage said, “he called the King ‘cousin,’ too.” Rep. Patton said it “struck the King like a thunderbolt,” but that both King and Queen “liked it” and that the Queen said, “I thank youn sir.” Rep. John A. Miller (R. Conn), | legless war veteran, was singied out | by the Queen. | “What outfit were you in?” she asked. He replied he had served in| the U. S. Air Corps. “Were you in the Royal Air | Corps?” she asked. He told her that he had been for a short period. | Rep. Robert L. Mouton (D. La.),| representing a Creole Louisiana dis- | trict where French is still spoken, | addressed the royalty in French and kissed the Queen's hand. After receiving the two Houses, '

Their Majesties were escorted down the steps by the joint committee, which walked a few feet to the rear so that the Congressional wives and children massed in the plaza below could enjoy a clear view, The Capitol ceremony was completed at 11:36 a. m. and the King and Queen re-entered their automobile and drove through the slum sections of Washington's southeast section to the Navy Yard to board the Presidential yacht Potomac, for the cruise down to Mt. Verlon. Almost simultaneously, the President, clad in a light white suit, and Mrs. Roosevelt, wearing a black and pink silk print, left the White House to join their guests.

“How Did You Make Out?”

The Presidential party arrived a few minutes before the royal couple.

“How did you make out?” the President shouted, laughingly, to the King as the royal couple drove up. The King’s reply was lost in the cheers of the crowd. Police estimat= ed 200,000 had seen the King during the morning.

The party boarded the yacht at noon and after photographers had taken pictures the Potomac steamed off. By the time the royal couple reached the Capitol, passing through cheering crowds of citizens and close by a special spectators stand reserved for Congressional wives, they had already been on the go, and hard, for nearly two hours. The King and Queen rose early despite their crowded schedule of yesterday. The official program of the day did not end until a few minutes after midnight when the last guests left the White House after a notable dinner of state and a musicale, Even then, the King, at least, did not retire. He and President Roosevelt sat down in the quiet comfort of the second floor oval study where not a few American Presidents have pondered and struggled over thorny knots of British-American relations. There they sat and chatted until the White House clocks chimed 1 o'clock in the morning,

Breakfast in Rooms

The Royal day started with a good American breakfast, served to the King and Queen at their request in their White House rooms. Whether a British morning pot of tea was served first was not disclosed. But the breakfast itself, was strictly standard U. S. from Maine to California—fruit juice, toast, coffee, bacon and eggs. Last night's White House dinner for 78 was the grandest occasion the old mansion ever saw. Marian Anderson, golden voiced Negro singer, and Washington's own fat and lovable Kate Smith were headliners over Coon Crick Hill Billy Girls, spiritual singers and a crooner of Western Ballads. In champagne and sincerity, the White House company drank the King's health, proposed by President Roosevelt with a renewed plea for “methods of peace” and a scarcely concealed thrust at aggresSOrs. Refers to Island Dispute

Diplomats already are reading between the lines of the health proposed by Mr. Roosevelt and are calling it the “political toast.” His Majesty, who speaks in his own voice, but only the words of his ministers, was less forceful than Mr. Roosevelt. But he responded that he had brought from Canada “the warm greetings of a neighbor and a trusted friend” and from the United Kingdom and the Empire “expressions of the utmost cordiality and good will.” “And I pray,” he said, “that our great nations may ever in the future walk together along the path of friendship in a world of peace.”

Just Folks'—That’s Kate Smith's Idea

By KATE SMITH Written for the United Press WASHINGTON, June 8.—“Don’t worry, Kate. Shake hands with them and say “How do you do. That's what I did.” With the brief telephonic coaching from Mrs. Roosevelt, I went to the White House last night, sang for the King and Queen and thought up three words to describe them: “They're fine people.”

It certainly was amazing to an American girl like me to find how atterly simple, charming and unaffected a King and Queen can be.

Why, they make a person feel as)

much at home as your own folks would do! They're just folks! And that is true of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, too. I admit frankly that I didn't
