THREE STATIONS BROADCAST TALK WBZ One of Those Having Queen Marie on the Air New York, Oct. 23 (P—Many radio fans who counted upon hear- ing the voice of a queen have been disappointed. Due to a misunderstanding in broadcasting time, Queen Marie of Rumania failed to keep an engage- ment to speak from 21 stations in a national hook up last evening. Al- though her address at a dinner given in her honor by the Iron and Steel Board of Trade at the Hotel Com- modore did get on the air. Only three stations, this city, one in Washington, and another in Springtield, Mass,, carried the royal voice. Apologies to Quecn Announcements were that the| queen would speak between $:30 and 9 o'clock. Bhe arrived at the studio @ half-hour early, however, and left while David Sarnoff was arranging | for her to go on the alr at once. | When' he returned to the reception | réor to find her gone, he immedi- ately went to her suite at the Hotel Ambassador to offer his apologies. Mrs. Harriman, speaking for the queen, sald olher engagements pre- | vents Her Majesty from waiting. A typewriter company, which broadcast the Dempsey-Tunney fight, had arranged for the broadcasting by the queen. Announcers said an ica cream company has arranged for her to broadcast next Friday. Gary is Toastmaster Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States corporation, was toastmaster of the dinner in the queen’s honor the Hotel Com- modore. Prince Nicolas was with his mother, but the Princess Ileana | remained at her hotel. | After presentation to the aseem- | bled guests, Judge Gary asked the| queen to talk about herself. | “Most people like to do that and | my family tells me I talk too much | about myself,” Her Majesty replied. | “But it is through me that I want you to know and love my country.” | Her crown, she said, signified a | mission to build up Rumania and | Jead it toward progrees. She then | related that an eld Rumanian | lady had once called stupid | saying that she did nothing Had Six Children | “But T did bear six children,” she | sald, “and I thought that was doing | something.” | During the war, she SI“A' “we were | coerced by one side, amd then by the other. Russia was horrid to us. They were all horrid to us. It is| more demoralizing somelow to be | neutral than to be at war. There is | one thing that we have all got to do, | and that is to build up again and | keep war out of the world.” This brought vigorous applause, as did a later remark about having be- come reconciled with German rela- | tives who were estranged when Ru- | mania entered the war. | Earlicr in the dey the queen had | lunch at the Bankers' club on lower Broadway, with bankers who con- trolled billions of doilars. “Many will ask the reason why 1| have come,” she told the bankers. “I have come to ask for your love and friendship and understanding. Other than that I have not come to ask for anything from America.” | West Haven Taxpayers ‘ Protesting Assessments | New Haven, Oct. 23 (®—Tax pay- ers in West Haven have been pr testing Increases in valuation of their property by the assessors for taxa- tion purposes. A mew phase was given by Mrs. | Lena Johnson to Judge of l‘l’fllv‘.h‘! Gilson at a hearing on the probating | of her husband’s will. She told \hu“ court she had become an “h .

He also will ask sugges- | tions as to & more efficient method | of sounding alarms when major | crimes are committed. | Common pleas court judges, county prosecutors, dircctors of pub- lic safety, chiefs of police 21w police magistrates were invited to witend. “This is a state wide situation and | requires united and harmonious action,” the governor sald in his letter to officlals. ot | Auburn, N.
