LORD TWEEDSMUIR CHATS WITH PRESS Discusses American History and Friendship of English. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Lord Tweedsmuir, governor general of Canada, who, with Lady Tweeds- muir, is a guest at the White House, started a busy routine today with an informal chat with newspaper men in President Roosevelt’s office. ‘The meeting was announced &s a “press conference,” but Lord Tweeds- + muir who opened his remarks with the explanation he was ‘“once a news- paper man myself,” confined himself to a discussion of American history, particularly the Civil War period. His Excellency said he had been to America 50 often, and had so many friends here, that he regarded it as his “second fatherland.” In answer to 8 question from a member of the press, he agreed that Americans, Canadians and people of England, as well, have a common viewpoint. He added that, for this reason, they all should be good friends always. President Is Listener. As the visitor stood in the oval- shaped office of the President, talking to the score or more of newspaper writers, Mr. Roosevelt sat leaning bacx in his chair at his desk, only occa- sionally joining in the conversation. The President introduced his guest with the explanation: “‘His excellency is really one of you— 80, therefore, treat him gently.” As the newspaper representatives filed into the office for the con- ference, they were introduced to Lord Tweedsmuir by name and the paper or news service they represented by the representative of The Star, selected for the task by the President. His lordship was attired in full ceremonial uniform, with an enormous amount of silver braid and any number of medals and decorations adorning his coat, and a sword hanging from his side. His lordship apologized for his attire, say- ing he had to wear it today because he was scheduled for so many cere- monial engagements. He implied he would much rather have been n informal attire, as was the President. Fairness of Newspaper Men. Discussing his relations with news- paper men during the war, Lord Tweedsmuir said he had placed him- self in their hands and they had al- ways treated him fairly and kindly.| He discouraged questions touching| upon political matters by saying at| the outset that a governor general of | Canada has no politics, no views. Both the President and Lord Tweedsmuir indicated they had not| yet had an opportunity for a real heart-to-heart talk. Opportunity for| this will be presented this aftemoon, | when the President and his guest! motor back to the White House from | Mount Vernon. The Canadian Governor General will go to Mount Vernon aboard the presidential yacht Potomac, which will afford him an opportunity to view the scenery on both sides of the river. Later President Roosevelt will motor to Mount Vernon and meet Lord ‘Tweedsmuir and his party at the boat dock there. He will accompany the party to the Tomb of Washington and through the famous old mansion and to other parts of the grounds. Lord Tweedsmuir will sit beside the President during the drive back to Washington and it is expected they will then discuss various matters of special interest to this country and Canada. Before taking Lord Tweedsmuir to his office to meet the press this morn- ing the President showed him around the White House and the executive office building. The slim author-diplomat and his wife set out, on their first full day in the Capital, to pay formal honors at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Canadian cross, home of Robert E. Lee and George Washington's tomb. The Scottish-born couple, received by troops and top-hatted statesmen on their arrival yesterday, shared honors last night with Katharine Cornell, the actress, who was given the national achievement award of the Chi Omega l.OS'l' EDALE DOG. markings brown and lack, Mhite Tesi. white Teoe Bewerd.

By the Assoctated Press Martin Slisco, a strapping Alaskan merchant with an eye to romance and an infinite amount of patience, cut through the last snarl of official red tape yesterday and looked forward to reunion with his bride from Dal- matia. The State Department notified the naturalized Yugoslavian it would per- mit his bride to come into United States territory even if she is above the immigration quota. Tonight Bob Marshall, author, who met Slisco at his Far North home and became his friend, will be the host here at a party in celebration. “She’ll be a queen when we get to Alaska,” Slisco beamed. “There are no single women at my home, Wiseman. There are only two married ones.' And there are 200 whites there. “They told me, when I left last Fall, not to come back without a wife. “I went back home to Dalmatia for the first time after 34 years, to see [ my old parents and to get me a wife. “My three sisters took me to church and showed me 30 girls I could marry. Some of them were good looking, by jingo. But I couldn’t get my mind on any of them. Just before I was to leave, my brother said he knew of one.” That “one” was 22-year-old Para Keka. They fell in love at first sight and within a week they were married. “Then the American consul wouldn’t let me bring her back with me” Slisco said. “He said I could not get Sorority before a distinguished com- pany in the east roam. Lord Tweedsmuir, who is returning paid him last Summer, was accorded | military honors as the representative of this continent of the King of Eng- land. With him came two aides, one wear- ing the towering bearskin shako and kilts of the Royal Scots Guard. The party was met by Secretary of State Hull, the Canadian Minister, the British Ambassador and a war- strength escort of United States Cavalry. Presentation of Award. When the ceremonies of greeting and dinner were over last night the Roosevelts and the guests turned to honor the first actress to receive the annual award given an outstanding American woman. The award was presented to Miss Cornell by a star of another genera- tion, Mrs. Eleanor Robson Belmont. Women who won the awang in other years looked on—Mrs. Roosevelt, Sec- retary of Labor Perkins, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Josephine Roche, Dr. Florence Sabin, the scien- tist, and Miss Frances Grimes, known in the fleld of art. Miss Cornell’s father and her hus- band, Guthrie McClintic, were in the audience, along with such widely known stage characters as Otis Skin- ner, Lillian Gish and Jo Mielziner, the stage designer. the visit which President Roosevelt | Official Red Tape Is Slashed To Bring Wife From Dalmatia a visa by telegraphing and that it would take a long time by writing. He said the best thing was for me to go to Washington and get ap- proval.” Slisco, who is 47, came here and finally got approval from both the Labor Department and the State Department. He keeps his big gold watch set “European time, so I can figure out what she's doing about this time of day.” —— o e Coal Program Outlined.

Aviation research work planned by the Bureau of Air Commerce will be seriously crippled as a result of a reduction made by the House in the Commerce Department appropriation bill, John Geisse, chief of the develop- ment section of the bureau, today told the National Intercollegiate Flying Club Conference in session at the La Fayette Hotel. “The House has just cut our ap- propriation to such an extent we will not be able to carry on the work we had planned,” Geisse said. The chief effect of the reduction probably will be felt in types of re- search concerning the development of safe aircraft for private operation, he indicated.
