. FRENCH ARREST FASCIST LEADER Henri Dorgeres Questioned After Inciting Farm Strike in Paris. B¥ the Associated Press. PARIS, December 18.—Henri Dor- geres, leader of the greenshirt “Peas- ant Front” and one of France's so- called triumvirate of Fascist chiefs, was under arrest today. After long urging by Communists, police seized him suddenly last night and guarded him in seclusion while the farm strike he called threatened #starvation” for Paris. Borgeres gained his freedom today Bfter a night of questioning by police. His statements were sent to a mag- dstrate for official examination. Dorgeres, already facing charges of fnciting disorderly conduct, was cap- tured by mobile guards stationed at rket centers to prevent violence in e peasant strike. Precautionary Measure. Officials indicated the government Prdered the move as & precautionary measure lest the presence of the strike Jeader provoke rioting. ‘While greenshirt chieftains pu%hed their effort to make the “starvation” etrike felt in Paris, Col. Francois de la Roque, regarded as the most powerful of the three Fascist leaders, called the national congress of his Social party fnto session. Police patroled the streets of the tapital in heavy details. Regional congresses of the Social party, which the government charges is the outlawed war veterans’ organi= gation, the Croix de Feu, under an- other guise, were prohibited as likely fo start disorders. Jacques Doriot, head of the French | Popular party and the third member | of the Fascist triumvirate, disregarded a government ban on meetings of his followers and continued a tour of the provinces. Ten Are Injured. Ten persons were injured at a Com- munist counter demonstration at Lyon last night after Doriot presided at a “private reception.” Rioting at Lille end Clermont during previous meet- ings had brought about the govern- ment prohibition of open gatherings. The market strike proceeded quietly, with the provinces still sending about & fourth of the normal supply of vege- tables to the capital. Dorgeres called the peasant strike of #mall farmers and truck gardeners to protest what he said was too great a difference in the price paid by whole- galers to the producer and that paid by | getailers. o ?

Rudyard Kipling, himself un- crowned poet laureate because he wrote “The Widow of Windsor,” | would have rejoiced in these two. The | whole essence of their attitude seems to be beautifully epitomized in a paraphrase of one of his verses: “But there is neither east nor west, | Border or breed or birth, When two strong hearts stand side by side, 3 Though they come from the ends of the earth.” But the physical picture, charm- ing and interesting though it may be, is not the essential part of this por- trait. Wallis Simpson’s charm—I have heard many who know her term | it fascination—lies in her character probably even more than her physical | vividness. And except that her per-| sonality .shows in the frankness and generosity of her smile, in the sym- pathy and keermess of her eyes and in the proud carriage of her small | patrician head, the rest is not of vital | significance. Revealing Parts of Her Personality. The five chief characteristics which, |1 think, predominate in Mrs. Simp- son's personality, are companion- ability. loyalty, simplicity, vitality and naturalness. She is the perfect companion, and this accounts, perhaps, more strongly than all else for her attraction for }Edwnd. She has the supreme con- | versational capacity of being & good The King - > listener as well es a good talker. She | not only gives the impression—but it is actually true—that she is deeply | interested in the person vis a vis, in his viewpoints, in his interests, in what he has to say. She laughs at the right places, and her laughter is genuine. Her wit, proverbial in London and on the con- tinent, is but & refinement of the slightly more boisterous humor of .her girlhood days. One of her close woman friends said recently: “The truth about Wallis is that if I had to be a castaway on & desert island with only one woman compan- fon, of all the women in the world that I have known, my choice would be Wallis.” Wallis Simpson is loyal. She in- spires loyalty in her friends. She has never forgotten and never lost & triend. In adversity or fortune, in deepest woe, or with the world at her feet, she is stanch and steadfast and completely unaffected in her friendships. ‘The two men who were her husbands speak of her today as “the finest woman they have ever known.” The Simplicity of Good Taste. Simplicity shows in her every taste and habit, Her home, which will later be described in these articles, is taste- but plainly furnished. Her so absurdly exaggerated—the food she serves on her table, the way she pre- sides gt unostentatious tea at her own fireside, or mixes her own cock- * |tails for a group of friends before dinner—all these of this strong trait. Her clothes, most of which come from Paris, are classic in their lines. Her hats are small and close-fitting. (She hates floppy ones). Her entire appearance denotes the simplicity that only women of invincible chic ecan maintain. Fussiness, ultramodernity, ostenta- tion, slovenliness, “swank”—these she finds hard to understand or abide. Directness, candor, sincerity—these she practices, admires and inspires in all aspects and contacts of her daily life. She is intensely vital. Vitality shows in her conversation, in the energy with which she faces each day and hour, in the viewpoint from which she looks at world affairs and the de- cisiveness with which she handles her own problems. It shows, too, in the crispness of her speech, which, retaining part of her earlier Baltimore accent, has in- evitably taken on a slightly British flavor. It is there, too, in the way she walks and dances and in her quick, brilliant smile. Some of Her Likes and Dislikes, Her naturalness is deep-rooted and entirely genuine. There is no pose in her make-up. She has never thought, A speak eloquently G STAR, WASHINGTON (Continued From First Page.) . The camera recor_dg varying moods of Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson.

She feeds and bathes and adores her two dogs—a Cairn terrier and a small, comical Dachshund. She took them | with her from 16 Cumberland terrace to Fort Belyedere, but she was unable to take them with her to France—a fact that grieved her sorely. Her likes and dislikes are pro- | nounced. She hates cats and flying and sham and Winter sports (although she has tried them in company with the ex-King). She likes wood fires and strong winds and the “mot just” and arguing and candle light. It was snowing when she made her statement in Cannes, offering with- drawal from “a situation grown un- happy and untenable.” But under the | white flakes that covered them, the | mimosa and jasmine blossoms still bloomed.

Meanwhile, the duke terminated his | voluntary seclusion to pose for a mz- tery of photographers. | Hatless and in a serious mood, the former British ruler walked alone to | the courtyard, where 17 cameramen awaited him. He appeared fatigued. “Gentlemen, how do you want me?” | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1936. he greeted the photographers. “Shall I sit or stand?” A flood of replies and subsequent questions followed his remarks as the business of making pictures of the abdicated monarch began. Three minutes later the photog- raphers, clutching their plates, began a 500-yard sprint to autemobiles and motor cycles to carry them the 23 milex to Vienna. The duke replied to only one direct statement made by a British photog- raphez, who sald: “We wish your highness every hap- piness.” “I wish you luck also,” the British prince responded. BRAVES CURIOUS. Mrs. Simpson Goes for Ride and Later Calis on Friends. CANNES, December 18 (#).—Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson, it was indi- cated today, has decided that it is about time for her to go and come as she pleases from the villa where she is staying and hopes only that the curious get tired of staring at her, She gave evidence of some such de- cision last night when she went twice from the villa of Mr. and Mrs. Herman L. Rogers. In the gloaming she took a short drive through the countryside and later on played a few rubbers of bridge with friends in Cannes. Her hosts, however, adopted new tac- tics in their efforts to keep crowds from following their now world-famous | guest. A lackey, following the Simpson car, would swing his machine across the road thus blocking all pursuit until the car ahead of him was lost in a swirl of dust. Many rumors, all without founda- tion, continued making the rounds of Cannes. One was that Mrs. Simpson planned a trip to Egypt, but all outward ap- pearances led to the belief that she was | settling down for & long stay—possibly until April 27, when her divorce from Ernest A. Simpson will become final and she will be free td wed Edward, Duke of Windsor. LONGSHOREMEN JOIN IN MARITIME STRIKE Shipping Operations in Baltimore Badly Crippled as Walkout Af- fects 5,000 More Workers. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, December 18.—Ship- ping operations in the port of Balti- more were “badly crippled” today when two unions of longshoremen joined five other maritime organiza- tions in a strike affecting an esti- mated 5,000 marine workers. The strike action was extended to both West Coast and East Coast ves- sels. Foreign ships were not affected, although strike leaders intimated the walkout might be extended to cover them. Observers sald shipping operations in the port were “badly crippled,” but that the full effect of the latest move in the seamen’s strike here could not be immediately estimated. Strike spokesmen said the long- shoremen acted today as the result of & mass meeting last night, addressed by Harry Bridges, West Coast strike leader, Bridges urged the longshore- | men to join other maritime workers | and help “end the East Coast strike quickly.” Former Rail President Dies.
