Duke Will Slip Wedding Band of Welsh Gold on Her Finger June 3 Monts, France, May 22.—(7)— Wal- lis Warfield, it was learned Saturday, will be married with the same tradi- tional ring of British royalty she would have received had. Edward of Windsor been able to make her his queen, A source close to the Chateau de Cande household disclosed the duke will slip a wedding ring of Welsh gold, similar to those worn by other wives of Britain’s royalty, on Mrs. Warfield’s third finger during the civil marriage ceremony June 3. The former British monarch will follow the tradition of his younger brothers, the Dukes of Gloucester and Kent, who gave their brides rings fashioned of gold from Wales. ‘The wedding ring was expected to arrive from a Paris jeweler over the week-end. After the arrival of Mrs. Warfield’s “Aunt Bessie,” Merryman of Washington, D. C., and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bates, Americans described as “personal friends of the duke,” preparations were made to welcome a few cther friends of the bridal couple. Numerous packages, believed to contain wedding gifts, poured into the chateau. Advices from Paris reported that the marriage contract signed by Ed- ward and Mrs. Warfield provided that none of the duke's property would pass to his bride-to-be without & specific bequest. The document was drawn up under British law. The property of each thus would remain separate in the case of death or divorce unless such a bequest’ was Mo Satara Even the elements, virtually teola}- ing the Duke and Mré, Warfield in flood-bound chateau, could not shut era off completely from the outside world.

Gen. Frank M. Andrews, com- mander of the general headquarters air force. “We'd have to make a choice.” He pointed out that six of the nine air-force groups in the nation had to to bring the other three groups to war-time strength for the maneu- vers. “We lack fliers and flying machines, not to mention a few more inland bases and a good deal of equipment,” he said. General Andrews regarded as “un- usual and significant” that not one of the 2,925 men who participated in the games was injured.’ Only four ships were lost. “Taken within them- selves,” he said, “the exercises were highly successful. We learned a lot.” A gas-attack demonstrated the “ter- rific handicap imposed on ® ground-| ~This type ot ing, high-altitude flying, when’ the opérator’s face is covered by an oxy- gen mask. “The talk is normal and the sound is picked up just as well as it. would ‘be from the mouth.” While the officers conferred, units ‘brought from Field, Mich., Langley Field, Va., Mitchell Field, N.

ECONOMY LICKED IN HOUSE RELIEF VOTE Also Refuse to Give CCC Per- manent Status as Senate TAX COLLECTIONS ARE BELOW MARCH $5,160.87 in Delinquent Levies Are Banked Thus Far This Month Here Exactly $5,160.87 in delinquent taxes had been collected in Burleigh county during May when books were closed Friday, County Treasurer Theodore Taylor reported Saturday. At the same time last month, $5,472.10 had been collected and on May 23, 1936, the figure was $11,- 802.99. Total collections of the 1936 levy during May amount thus far to $3,532.62, compared to collections of $5,987.32 on Apr. 23 and $8,286.72 on May 23, 1936. During March this year collections of delinquent taxes amounted to $31,777.94 and current levy collections amounted to $136,862.14. The reason for the sharp drop during the past two months, Taylor stated, is partly due to the fact that many persons paid their taxes in March in order tesvold payment of penalty and in- Taylor also declared that many persons have not paid their taxes thus far, because they plan to take advan- tage of House Bill No. 59, passed by the state legislature at its last ses- sion, which provides for payment of delinquent taxes in installments with- out payment of penalty and interest. ‘The figures given above do not in- clude collections of delinquent per- sonal property taxes made by the! sheriff's office during the present month since these are not checked in until the end of the month. 2 CAPONE NEAR PEATE hicago, May 22.

Mountain Continues Creeping Into River Livingston, Mont., May 22.—(%)— Mount Livingston continued its slow creep into the Yellowstone river Sat- urday as anxious officials studied the possibility of using dynamite to break the block-long slide into small pieces which the stream could more easily | carry away. | Dan Allen, county highway com- missioner, said clear skies and dyna- mite might be the solution of the problem. The landslide is choking the river with the threat of flooding lands along the banks. He feared rain would loosen more earth and send it tumbling into the already crowded stream. The slide was believed started by water which seeped into a clay layer and lubri- cated it so the soil above slid down the steep hillside.

TOP 0° WORLD LINE Expedition of 11 Men Lands on Ice Floe Aboard Four- Motored Craft PREPARE FOR PLANE LOADS Four Men Will Remain at Pole to Observe Weather, Get Other Data Moscow, May 22.—(}—Moscow ex- plorers Saturday established the firs( permanent base at the North pole as @ preliminary to the proposed Mos- cow-San Francisco air route over the top of the world. The expedition of 11 men was land- ed by airplane on an ice floe 13 miles from the pole proper Friday, suc- cessfully concluding plans that had been worked out in secret for more than two years. Picturesque, black-bearded Dr. Otte J. Schmidt, director of the Soviet “Northern Sea route,” headed the party which took off from Rudolf island at dawn. Six hours and 10 minutes later Pilot M. V. Vodopyan= off set his heavily-loaded, four-mo- tored craft down on the ice, Landing Was Prosaic Messages which came trickling down by radio just before dawn Sat- urday indicated the thrilling landing was achieved with prosatic lack of in- cident except for temporary damage to the expedition’s radio sending ap- paratus. In his first message, Dr. Schmidt, famed Russian Arctic adventurer, matter-of-factly reported the tion of the mission with the comment that “it is possible to bring other pane here to establish = polar sta- n.” The expedition set to work prepar- ing for plane loads of equipment and supplies to be flown from Rudolf Four craft at the new airfield on Rudolf island, about 560 miles from the pole, were being loaded with sup- and airbase the working out of the polar air line from Russia to the United States. Spent Winter On Island Seventeen men had spent the long Arctic winter on Rudolf island, about 82 degrees north and 60 east, where they had established the settlement that until now was the most northerly in the world. Four of the 11 men who formed the daring party will remain at the per- manent base at the North pole for @ year studying conditions in the polar “birthplace of weather.” The observations were expected to determine the feasibility of the air route from Moscow to San Francisco by way of the North pole, a project that has been seriously discussed Soviet aviators and scientists for some time. Such an air route presumably would he slightly northeast from Moscow to Rudolf island and from there in a straight course over the pole to San Francisco. The distance from Moscow to the North pole is about 2,000 miles; from the pole to San Francisco is about 3,000 miles. Flights across the pole rather than in an east and west direction will save from 1,000 to 2,000 miles of fly- ing. |. ‘The present base at Rudolf island {is af ly 1,500 miles airwise from the Soviet capitol.
