ILLINOIS BALLOT CASE APPEALED Supreme Court Asked to Di- rect Communists’ Names Be Included. BY the Associated Press. ‘The Supreme Court was asked yes- terday to direct Illinois officials to place the names of the Communist | nominees for President and Vice Presi- dent on the ballot for the N()\Cmbf.‘rI 3 election. An appeal filed in the name of Elmer Johnson, an asked the tribunal to review a ruling of the Southern Illinois Federal Dis- * trict Court dismissing stch a request. Unless extraordinary speed is shown, §t will be long after election day be- fore a final ruling can be obtained. State and county officials, against whom the case was filed, have 20 days in which to present a reply. If the court agreed to pass on the dis- pute, several weeks in addition nor- mally would-be required to hear argu- ments and prepare an opinion. The Communist ticket of Earl Browder for President and James W. Ford, colored, for Vice President, will be on the ballots in at least 31 States. New Labor Act Challenge. Another case filed in the Supreme Court yesterday was a new challenge to constitutionality of the Wagner labor relations act. It was brought by the Washington, Virginia and Mary- land Coach Co., which appealed from a ruling by the Fourth Circuit Court | of Appeals upholding the law and directing the company to reinstate 18 employes and reimburse them for | back pay. A complaint filed by the National Yabor Relations Board said the com- pany had interfered with the organiza- tion of its employes for collective bargaining. Six other cases challenging thislaw are on the Supreme Court docket, but no action is expected before October 26. Government attorneys predicted an gnnouncement would be forthcoming from the Court tomorrow on cases at- tacking the 1933 securities law, which requires registration of securities be- fore sale to the public; and on pro- visions of the national industrial re- covery act and the 1935 emergency ,Telief measure authorizing government loans and grants for municipally- owned electric plants Assailed by Broker. ‘The securities law has been as- sailed by J.

A joint attack on government loans and grants for electric plants has been filed by the Texas Utilities Co. and the Alabama Power Co. in an effort to stop construction of plants at Plain- view, Tex, and Florence, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, Decatur, Hartselle, Gun- tersville and Russellville, Ala. They lost in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia and ~ asked for the Supreme Court to re- view the controversy, without wai ing for a ruling by the Court of Ap- peals, in order that the case might be argued during the week of November 9 along with another filed by the Duke Power Co. The Court agreed last Spring to re- view the Duke case, in which the com- pany is challenging a $2,852,000 P, W. A. loan and grant to Greenwood | County, 8. C, for a power plant at Buzzard Roost.

FASCISTS CLAIM OVIEDO. Government Siege Lifted, Rabat Report Says. RABAT, French Morocco, October 17 (#)—The Fascist broadcast from Cadiz tonight announced that insur- gent troops marched in Oviedo lifting the government siege of the city and liberating their besieged comrades.

A select circle of friends accompanied him— among them was Mrs Simpson. Eyebrows went up, tongues wagged. Harassed British editors, seeking to make use of pictures of the royal party which were flooding newspapers, observed the conventions (with a bow to Mrs, Grundy) by identifying only the males.

LONDON, October 17 (N.AN.A).— George Henry Hubert Viscount Las- | celles, eldest son of the British Prin- cess Royal and nephew of King Ed- | ward, is now a junior boy at Eton Col- | lege, and the traditions which have | been slowly maturing since the school | was founded in 1440 are not being altered one hairs breadth for him. | Asa junior, he has to “fag,” which | |is a form of servitude practiced in | English public schools that has no | parallel anywhere else in the world | | and probably would result in a riot if ever tried at any private school in the | United States. A fag must serve his | fag master, run his errands and gen- | erally make himself useful, or else be beaten. 3 | The system at Eton provides’ for di- vision of the school into 23 houses, | | which are run on identical lines. The | two heads in each house are the cap- tain of the house, who is the boy high- ! est in the school list, and the captain | of games, who is the senior in athletic rank. With three or four other boys, these compose the “library,” which runs the house. The house master expects the library to see that the boys in the house don't smoke, play cards, get rowdy, bully each other, rag the maids, or otherwise misbehave. Below the library comes the debating society, of which the captain of the house is president. The rest of the house is composed of boys | who have passed out of the lower school, and the lower boys, or fags. Must Do Menial Jobs. Viscount Lascelles is one of the lower boys and therefore must carry out whatever menial duties may be | imposed on him. Whenever a mem- ber of the library shouts, “boy,” he, with the other fags, must run to the source of the noise. The last arrival | nas to do whatever is required—dash | around to & neighboring house with | a message, go to the school store to | buy chocolates, etc. Fags are appointed to different fag- masters and have to wait on them at tea, which is a great meal for | Etonians. The fag must be able to| make toast, scramble eggs, fry sau- sages, etc. The fag must also light the fire in the fag-master’s room, tidy the room, fold the clothes and put | them neatly away. If he fails to do lany of these jobs competently, he probably will be beaten. The beatings take place in the library in the evenings. The captain of the house deals with most offenders, the captain of games with those who have been slacking at games or have been reported for playing unfairly. Special delight is taken in beating any notable fags. The Duke of Gloucester, the King’s brother, when at Eton, was not spared, but Viscount Lascelles, who is & quiet and timid but willing little boy, has not yet been operated upon, although he is sure to be shellacked sooner or later. In after years, Etonians love to say, “Oh, yes. Lord Lascelles (or Harry Gloucester). He was my fag. Had to beat him often, too.” 1t must be admitted that the beat- ings rarely are severe. Major offenses, such as betting, drinking, etc, are dealt with by the headmaster, whose form of beating is called “swiping.” The culprit has to take down his trousers and kneel on a block in the headmaster’s room. ‘A man known as the “fusee” holds the boy’s head down, and the headmaster uses a birch. Two senior boys have to be present “to see fair play.” Curious Clothes Worn. A word should be said about the curious clothes worn by Etonians. These are either “jackets” or “tails.” The jackets are short, black coats, reaching barely below the waistline, which are worn with wide, white starched collars, while the tails are ordinary conventional morning coats. Any one above 5 feet 1 inch wears tails, and, with them, a white bow tie, as is worn by ordinary mortals for evening dress. All the boys wear silk hats, and no one cares how shabby these become. Viscount Lascelles, who is a tall boy, already wears tails, and he care ries out his menial jobs dressed as for a wedding. He, like the others, must serve as & fag for three half 'Viscount Lascelles, King’s Kin, Waits on Superiors as Eton ‘Fag’ VISCOUNT LASCELLES. years before emerging from the lower school, but then still has some time to run before joining the aristicracy, which is served by the fags. That is the school from which come forth the great majority of those who | govern this country, represent it abroad 2s diplomats and control the overseas dominions. The traditions surround- ing the school are almost inexplicable to non-English minds, particularly the fact that boys are “entered” for Eton almost as soon as they are born, because otherwise it would be impossible to find a vacancy when a boy reaches the age of 13, the mini= mum for entry. No protense at hard work is ever made by the majority of Etomians. The ambition of every boy is not to get into the sixth form, which is the highest class in the school, or to be brilliant at games, but to be elected to “Pop.” This is a club, composed of 30 senior boys and the only qualifi- cation is to be “a good fellow.” Membership in “Pop” is the hall- mark of the well born, decently reared Englishman throughout life and is as valuable to him in after years as any Masonic or academic connec- tion imaginable throughout the world. In the queer English way, “Pop,” or to give it its full name “The Eton So- ciety,” is self-elected, but neverthe- less it receives as of right numerous privileges which are not accorded other members of the college. Above all this microcosm there pre- sides in awful dignity that minor deity—the headmaster of Eton. He does not care two straws for the rank of the pupils. He smiles on the good boys and flogs the bad ones, be they peer or commoner, and will give two fingers of his right hand to Viscount Lascelles to shake just as he will to the boy whose father, a wealthy butch= ‘e‘; can afford to send his son to col- e. - Simpson (Continued Prom First Page.) unusual, and court attaches private- ly expressed belief the case might come up October 27.

This allegation could be testified to 1n & few moments, it was pointed out, and the hearing summarily closed. Might Discard Convention. The actual divorce proceedings were secondary in Mayfair discussions to- night to the possibility that King Edward, decided individualist that he has proved himself to be, might dis- card royal convention and marry & divorced commoner. There would be no actual law to prevent the King from marrying any one save a Roman Catholic, it was pointed out, although the sentiment of his subjects at present is strongly in favor of a bride of royal or noble { lineage. Under England’s royal marriage act of 1772 & commoner bride of the King of England could not take his rank, nor could children of the union in- herit the throne or royal property. ‘Whatever these regulations, friends of the monarch feit he would not be | bothered by them should he wish to marry Mrs. Simpson. But, they felt, he might be in- fluenced by the wishes of his sub- jects. Those who know the strong-willed Edward were agreed only on one as- pect of his friendship with Mrs. Simp- son—they believed that if he wished to marry her he would go through with it regardless of what ties it might sever, even including his own position in the empire. $200,000 Awaits Bride. The divorce suit brought by Mrs. Ernest Simpson against her husband, and King Edward's esteem for the | smart and witty woman from Balti- | more today recalled that the monarch has had provision made for a wife. A pay check of £40,000 a year ($200,000) awaits the bride of the sandy-haired and dapper British ruler, long called “the world's most eligible bachelor,” should he marry. echoed unanswered “Who will the the question | around the world: | prince marry?” | By the time he crossed the thresh- | old into middle age, and the unof- | ficial title of “Prince Charming” was | heard less and less, the question be- | came: “Will the prince marry?” | To the British peoples the mar- | riage of the then heir apparent to the throne meant two things: 1. The possibility of a child to follow him in the succession to the throne. 2. The example to the nation and to the empire, when Edward himself became ruler, of a domestic life such as strengthened the influence and stability of the crown during the reign of the late George V. Self-willed as a prince, Edward came to the throne unmarried to usher in a precedent-breaking reign. Speculation that he may marry Mrs. Simpson, if she succeeds in obtain- ing her divorce, even if it should cost him his throne, finds no basis in his public declarations of his attitude toward kingship. Indicated He Would Rule. Schooled for the crown and trained by travel and work as no British ruler before him, he always has indicated publicly that he would rule. On March 1, less than two months after his father's death, he assured his empire in his first radio message to it that his “constant effort will be to continue to promote the well-being” of his fellow men. Speaking of his father and his reign, he said: “It now falls upon me to sucéeed him and to carry on his work.” But he has insisted that monarch though he is, he is also an individual and he has claimed the right to live as he wants on his “own time.” “I work 12 hours & day—and I mean to work!” he once said. “The other 12 hours are my own.” Just when the British peoples had become reconciled to a bachelor ruler, the King revived speculation on the possibility of his marriag ince fanned to white heat by his attach- ment for Mrs. Simpson.

A $1,000 fire in a second-floor apart- ment at 6520 Georgia avenue early last night stirred wild excitemens for a few minutes, when it was feared four children were trapped in the blaz- ing structure. The blaze also brought about the collision of a piece of fire apparatus and an automobile, in which five persons were shaken up, and the death of a pet parrakeet. Nonnie Morgan, filling station oper- ator at Walter Reed Hospital, resident of the apartment, came home to find flames and smoke billowing from the windows. Fearful for the safety of the children, whose mother is con- fined to a hospital, Morgan raced to a nearby store, procured a ladder, and was mounting to the floor where the fire centered, when the youngsters ap- peared from the home of a neighbor, where they had found refuge. Mor- gan's nieces, Mrs. Mabel Abshire and Miss Edith Roberson, also fled the Meanwhile, Battalion Chief John R. Groves, driven by Pvt. A. O. Hough, was responding to thé alarm, and they reached Decatur street, on Georgia avenue, when their car crashed with one driven by John Ruthven, 66, of 4803 Illinois avenue. The latter was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Anna Ruthven, 55, and their 5-year-old grandson, David Bentley. In addition to a shaking up and shock, Groves and Mrs. Ruthven were bruised. The fire, of undetermined origin, was confined to the kitchen and bed room of the Morgan apartment, but smoke, sweeping through the hallways, suffocated the parrakeet, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Herman Ludden, other residents. Mrs. Ludden, with difficulty, dragged from the building their Great Dane dog, Nero, which crawled under a table and resisted efforts to get him out. Ludden is well known as a portrait | and mural painter. sity of revising the civil list—the monies paid to the members of the royal family. “His majesty desires that the con- tingency of his marriage should be taken into account,” he wrote, “so that, in that event, there should be a provision for her majesty the Queen and the members of his majesty’s family, corresponding to the pro- visions which the House of Commons has been willing to make in like cir- cumstances in the past.” Again rose the question, “Will he marry?”’—and again it was unan- swered. As Neville Chamberlain, chancellor | of the exchequer, read Edward’s mes- | sage in the House of Commons, Wil- | liam James Thorne, a member of the Labor party, rose and asked: “Does his majesty give any assur- | ance that he is going to get married?” But the lanky and poker-faced chancellor made no reply. The majority of the house was “willing” to take into account “the contingency” of the King’s marriage. On May 5, less than two months after the King's message, it voted for the expenses of the royal family. It defeated first a motion by Camp- bell Stephen, independent Labor party member from Glasgow, to have the provisions for a possible wife and children of King Edward deleted from the bill.

VIENNA, October 17.—Chancellor Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg gave guarded encouragement to Austria’s monarch- ists tonight and hinted that the peo- ple may some day have a chance to decide whether Archduke Otto shall be made Emperor. In a blast of defiance, which ob- servers said was directed at Little | Entente nations, Dr. Schuschnigg shouted: “No outsider but only Austrians will decide whether the monarchy shall be restored!” The day of a plebiscite to decide on the question of restoration of the | Hapsburg claimant to the throne is | “not yet in sight,” the chancellor | said in an esddress to Fatherland | front leaders { building.

He told former members of the Starhemberg’s “pri- vate army” that they would be per- mitted to continue “comradely asso- ciations,” but that hereafter any mil- itary activities on their part must be within the militia.

It is divided up into 110,000 pounds ($550.000) for the King's privy purse 134,000 pounds ($670.000) for royal household salaries and retirement al- lowances; 152,800 pounds ($764,000) for household expenses, and 13,200 pounds ($66,000) for alms and bounty. The whole of the sum for the King's privy purse, which includes the 40,000~ pound provision for a wife of the King, will not be drawn by the monarch so long as his revenues from the Duchy of Cornwall remain sufficlent. Revenues of the duchy are tradi-| tionally administered for the King's natural heir, but the estate remained vested in Edward when he came to | the throne since there is no successor | as Prince of Wales. Other members of the royal family were allotted a total of 194,000 pounds ($970,000) though again the full| charlg does not fall upon the taxpayer. The” Duke of York regularly drew 25,000 pounds ($125,000) upon his marriage, though the sum was cut to 23,800 pounds ‘($119,000) when King George commanded civil list reductions effective October 1, 1931. King Edward requested the House of Commons to make “suitable provi- sions” for his brother, as heir-pre- sumptive to the throne, and provision was made for 50,000 pounds ($250,000). However, the King said he would bear the cost of the additional pro- vision for his brother from the income of the Duchy of Cornwall, so long as its ox;;:em:: were sufficient. 4 ms in the 194,000-pound total provide for the King’s p:ther brothers, his sister, and the surviving children of Queen Victoria and of King Edward VIIL “RHEUMATIC TWINGES TORTURE ME” oy wrote & well-known business man , . . “T T e L SOt s Impurities”” 'If You suficr From acace and d pains. drink the natural mineral water doctors have prescribed for 75 years.
