It was assumed as-sumed he meant the President's Supreme court enlargement bill should be sup ported, since that li the measure that split the party In congress. Dodd, former professor in the University Uni-versity of Chicago, laid he had been told by certain friend that an American, not named, "who owns nearly a billion dollars," was prepared pre-pared to set up a fascist regime which presumably he would control. con-trol. There are not many American billionaires now, but no one has ventured to guess publicly the man Dodd has in mind. "There are individuals of great wealth who wish a dictatorship and' are ready to help a Huey Long," he v wrote'Ther are politicians, wi ' "in " the senate, T have heard, wh think they may come Into power " T'lflte that 'W;tt'Btwpea''dictitort' In Moscow, Berlin,"" and Rome.

THERE were persistent reports in Washington that the Supreme court controversy would soon be settled by the resignation of at least two of the Justices, Brandeis and Van Devanter, and possibly Mc-Reynolds Mc-Reynolds and Sutherland. It was said friends of these men had urged their retirement "for the good of the court itself." It was claimed that the President would be compelled to withdraw his bill if as many as two of the associate associ-ate justices should retire, or else face defeat Proponents of the measure, mea-sure, pending the return of Mr. Roosevelt to the capital, said there would be no compromise. Senator Henrik Shipstead of Minnesota Min-nesota Farmer-Laborlte, returning to his seat after a long illness, declared himself flatly against the Supreme court enlargement bill; and his colleague, Senator Ernest Lunpeen, another Farmer-Labor-ite.sald he would not support an increase of more than two in the membership of the court. PHILIP MURRAY, chairman of the steel workers' organizing committee of the C.

The strike call affected 27.000 men. Thousands of pickets surroundea the Jones & Laughlin mills and kept non-uiiiun workers from entering. The company announced its willingness will-ingness to sign a contract if it might grant identical terms to non-union employees and declared its disposition disposi-tion to deal solely with any group that could poll a majority of its employees em-ployees In an election supervised Toy- the- national labor- board. Next day the strike spread to the plants i'of the Pittsburgh SUm1 company com-pany at Monessen and Allenport. Pa., where 5,900 men went out. Murray said it was inevitable that the Republic, Youngstowrv Bethlehem Bethle-hem and Crucible steel concerns would be involved very soon. There was considerable disorder t Aliquippa, and the police used tear gas bombs to disperse the pickets. pick-ets. Governor Earle hurried to the region to help settle the trouble, and he ordered the sale of liquor stopped In western Pennsylvania areas affected af-fected by the strike. Employees of Fisher Body and Chevrolet in Detroit returned to work pending a conference with the management; but the plants of those concerns in Janesville, Wis., were closed by a dispute over the status of 14 non-union workers.

Then the queen's crown was placed on the head of Elizabeth, Eliz-abeth, and the two took their places on their thrones. At the same time all the assembled peers and peeresses donned their coronets, drums and trumpets sounded and the guns at the Tower of London boomed. This was the climax of the grand spectacle spec-tacle that had attracted many thousands thou-sands of persons to London and that held the attention of the world for a few hours. First of the day's events was the procession to the abbey, which was observed by vast throngs . in the streets, windows and stands. It was two miles long The lord mayor of London, gorgeously clad and carrying carry-ing the city mace, arrived first at the annex built at the abbey entrance, en-trance, and was followed closely by the .speaker of therhouse at com mons, representatives of foreign governments, the prime ministers u!T :the: . dQlhlfdo1rt3:f nd; theprtroeei and princesses of royal blood. Next came Queen Mary, and then King George and Queen Elizabeth. ' When ill the fortunate' orievt titled to places in the abbey had taken their teats, the ceremony began be-gan with the ancient "recognition" ritual; the archbishop of Canterbury Canter-bury presented the king to the people, peo-ple, and four times the throng responded re-sponded with "God Save King George." After the rite of coronation corona-tion and the actual enthronement of lh monarch the doors of the abbey were thrown open, George, and Elizabeth, Eliz-abeth, wearing their crowns and carrying their scepters, stepped into in-to their coach, and the second grand procession "made Its ilow wray to Buckingham palace. Every detail 6 the spectacle and ceremony had been rehearsed until , i U were perfect in I i SJ thelf parts and noth ing marred the performance per-formance upon which the British government spent about $2,000,000. It really was a gor- I v '- 1 one begrudged the IJ' , ' money it cost, espe-r espe-r " j riallv Si vlsitora to London spent probably prob-ably ten times as much. Though in general ancient routine was followed, fol-lowed, there were some notable concessions con-cessions to modernity . For instance, the abbey was equipped with telephones tele-phones and loud speakers. Another Anoth-er Innovation, on the days before the coronation, was the stationing of companies of soldiers from the various dominions as sentries at Buckingham and St James' palaces. pal-aces. Never before had this duty been entrusted to other than the" British guards. Throughout the British empire coronation day was celebrated with parades and banquets, and wherever wher-ever on earth as many as two Britishers Brit-ishers came together, George VI was toasted In a chateau near Tours, France, Edward, duke of Windsor, sat before be-fore a radio listening to a broadcast of the coronation ceremonies; and by his side was Wallis Warfleld. his fiancee, for whom he surrendered his throne. It was announced that Wallis had formally dropped the name Simpson- and would be known as Mrs. Wallis Warfleld. Queen Elisabeth Crowned King arid Queen of England , My Taw , . L HJ"5 4 I 9 wr .'
