Marriages Of Royalty To Divorcees
Stress Passing Of "Victorian" Era
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Attain Analyst
That'i quite a tempest which has been worked up in th In
ternational teapot over the announcement that the young Marquess
of Milford Haven, cousin of Brlain'i King George VI, is be
trothed to a New York divorcee the charming Mrs. Romaine
Dahlgren Pierce Simpson.

Well, that's a generation ago
and a lot can happen in that time.
Much of the austerity of the Vic
torian era has passed out, along
with the aspidistra plant. The
word "Victorian," as applied to a
way of life, has become a term
not exactly of reproach but mean
ing "behind the limes."

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. CP)
A plane that outruns the sun was
mentioned Wednesday in an ad
dress by Air Force Secretary W.
Stuart Symington.
This same plane, If It had the
range," he said, "would arrive in
San Francisco before It left New
York. That will give worry to the
time table experts."
Ther Is a three-hour time dif
ferential between New York and
the west coast.
Symington spoke to the Na
tional Security Industrial associa
tion. The group includes major in
dustrial suppliers of the armed
forcee.
Symington did not specify what
kind of plane he was referring
to, but he prefaced hia reference
to It with this remark:
"Mar has now. flown and lived
at speeds hundreds of miles an
hour faster than the speed of
sound which Is 760 miles an hour
at sea level."
The air force has admitted pos
session 0' 1 super-sonic plane, the
X I, but hasn't disnosed its top
speed. The plane is understood to
have reached a speed of close to
1,000 miles an hour for a matter
of seconds.

House Action On Social Security Changes Slated
WASHINGTON. Sept. 30 .f)
The Ways and Means Committee
called todav for speedy House ac
tion on legislation vastly expand
ing the government's social se
curity program. A start may be
made there as early as next Tues
day but there appears little pros
pect of Senate action before the
next session.
Acting amid threats of strikes
over labor demands for pensions
wholly paid for by employers, the
House committee voice concern
over the possibility of "chaotic"
conditions resulting from compet
ing and overlapping security sys
tems. It contended an adequate uni
versal program should be set up
as the base, with special needs
of special groups to be met later
Employer and worker contribute
equally to the government setup.
If someone should ask you where the best truck and trailer
driver in the world lives, tell 'em Oregon and you'll be right!
As he did In winning the Ore
gon Truck Roadeo, Castner ne
gotiated the field course without
a single error. His national score
was .'1-14.8 points. A perfect score
is 330 points. The Phoenix run
was 10 points better than his rec
ord at Jantzen Beach park in the
Oregon roadeo. This score is the
highest ever attained by any win
ner in the history of the Nation
al Truck Roaiieo.
Castner will go to Boston.
Mass., next month to formally
arcept his prize and to watch hi
Oregon roadeo teammates, Alvin
Fish and Frank Kirkpatrirk,
compete in the National Truck
Roadeo events for solo truck and
truck and semi trailer.
