Apparently, the rumor got started because Dcughten is a director of thej Northwestern Bank of North Wilk- esboro, N./C., which has loaned the big gambler up to $60,000 for the purchase of “music machines.” Congressman Doughton, when ucried, said that he was a direc- tor of the Northwestern Bank but that he had not intervened with the treasury department to loold up Cannon’s income-tax case; in fact, had never heard of the mat- Caudle, Assistant Attor- al of the Justice Depart- tax division, who comes ment’s from Western North Carolina, also has been getting blamed for de- then, to the nations themselves—and the nations | yédress this long-standing injustice.

After General Pershing had set up his headquart- ers in France in 1917, he found his staff was seriously handicapped by the lack of trained telephone operators who could speak both English and French. In re- sponse to Pershing’s request the Adjutant General sent out a call for women with these unusual quali- fications, and the summons was answered almost over- night. The group of women who volunteered — largely college trained — were sent overseas and placed under the direction of the Signal Corps. They wore Army { insignia, subscribed to the Army oath of allegiance in the j1017 ANCO d their own uniforms.

The austere Shinto ceremony was formal and private— only about 30 members of the two families attended. Taka, 20, wore a shokeiko, ancient ceremonial dress. A purple hakama billowed like a skirt over aspure white kimono. Covering both was a brilliant red robe with full sléeves, knee-length in front and length- ening to a train in back. Takatsukasa, 26, wore western morning clothes. The newlyweds will live in rented guarters in the home of ‘former Adm. Saburo V. Hyakutake. ., There will be no honey Takatsukasa will report back on his job Monday. Taka, who gave up her royal rank and privileges, will take over man- agement of her husband’s house- hold, for which she has trained 18 months. The newlyweds won’t have it foo tough. The government appropri- ated the equivalent of $13,500 for wedding expenses, and gave the princess $100,000 to maintain her dignity.
