UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Over jWindsor and Wallis Are Married, Anglican Church Out wilted Tax Dodging by the Rich to Be Investi- gated House Rebels Yield. W. PICKARD By EDWARD Western Newspaper Union. E'DWARO, duke of Windsor, and Mrs. Wallis Warfield, the Amer-- . lean woman for love of whom he Cave up his throne, were married in the Chateau de Can-dMonts, France, and are now spending their honeymoon at Wasserleonburg castle in lower Austria. Almost at the last moment the Church of England was outwitted by the action of an ob-- s c u r e provincial clergyman from the north of England, and the civil ceremony performed by the mayor of Monts was followed by a religious wedding conducted by that same minister, Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine, in flat defiance of the. protests of the leaders of the church. Sixteen principal guests were present in the chateau when Mayor Mercier, pronouncing the English names with difficulty, and speaking In French, performed the civil ceremony and pronounced the duke and Wallis man and wife. Vicar 'Jardine, who had volunteered his services, recited the solemn religious rites as prescribed by the church, the duke placed the ring on the duchess' fourth finger, and they knelt on white silk cushions while the minister prayed. Throughout the entire service the famous organist, Marcel Dupre, played softly. The duchess, who cannot be 'called "her royal highness," wore a gown of Wallis blue and the correspondents privileged to be present were agreed that she was a beautiful, gracious and serene woman. Hie Chateau de Cande, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bedaux of Mew York, was lavishly decorated with flowers. Wedding presents were numerous, of course, and some of the richest were sent by members of the British royal family. Vicar Jardine was reproved by the church dignitaries for performing the religious ceremony, but the Bishop of Fulham, who has Jurisdiction over Anglican church affairs in France, after sending a telegram of protest, admitted the vicar might not be disciplined. He insisted the only valid service Mr. Jardine could perform was benediction after the marriage. All Anglican church ministers on the continent had been warned not to marry the duke and Wallis. e, A DMIN1STRATION leaders, from 1 the President down, "turned the heat on the rebellious members of the house, and the latter aullenly gave in and passed the billion and a half dollar work relief bin about as Mr. Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins wanted it One after another the restrictive amendments earmarking $505,000,000 of the total for projects of a solid type, flood control and highways, which had been adopted in committee of the whole, were called up again and voted down by substantial majorities- The final vote by which the measure was sent cm to the senate was 323 to 44. The revolt collapsed after Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, Democrat, Texas, outlined Mr. Roosevelt's position. He said the President had agreed to provide adequate funds from the relief bill for PWA projects, highways, grade crossing elimination, flood control and water conservation work. Taunted by Minority Leader Bertrand Snell, Republican, New York, for the general character of his Statement, Rayburn admitted he did ot know the exact amount of money that the President would divert to the various projects, which have been described as and "pork. One of the "rebel" leaders, Joseph Starnes of Alabama, though voting for the bill, announced that congress would never again "relinquish its control of expenditures." Still sore, especially at Harry Hopkins, the congressmen discussed the need for investigation of the relief administration, and a resolution calling for such action was introduced by Maury Maverick of Texas. vote-gettin- g" said these veterans were too poor to make the conversion at this time, and added: "The President apparently didnt consult with those familiar with veterans' affairs when he vetoed this bill."

There will be much agitation on the part of the farm leaders that will get just nowhere at all because of conditions in congress. Edward A. ONeal, president of toe American Farm Bureau Federation, recently was quoted as saying that the new plan would not require any payments direct from toe treasury; that is, it would pay its own way through the medium of taxes if it works perfectly. That is the rub. I find doubt in nearly all quar-ter- s that the plan can work perfectly." It is so complex and requires such a bureaucracy for administration of it that to expect it to "work perfectly," is virtually to expect that legislation will control the weather. I think every ore will agree that congress and the administration has not yet been able to find the formula for controlling the weather. ...... that larger and better planes have been built and are But it is likewise true building. tfat number of airlines have adopted penurious, penny pinchine policies and have refused to re-place worn out and obsolete unanimous vote.
