Author Amory Stops Aiding Duchess Write Memoirs NEW YORK UK Author Cleve land Amory said Tuesday he has stopped helping the Duchess of Windsor write her memoirs, and cxpiainea: "You can't make the Duchess of. Windsor into Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm. The facts of life are very stubborn things." The reference, to a happy heroine of a juvenile fiction classic, was made during an interview aboard the liner Queen Mary on which Amory returned from Europe. Amory said the rupture between him and the wife of England's ex-King followed repeated quarrels over the manuscript. The duchess, he declared, wanted some revisions and "I didn't feel the changes squared with the facts." Amory didn't explain what the changes were. He turned down a writing bid from her in 1952, but last winter took the assignment when she telephoned him from Palm Beach, Fla., he said. Since then, they have been collaborating in Paris, Amory -continued, but "because of the pressure o writing something myself, and getting by the duke Test Of Power Of Investigators Begins In Court WASHINGTON Wl Harvey O'Connor was called to trial in Federal Ditrict Court here Tues day on a contempt of Congress charge in a test of the power of congressional investigators. O'Connor, an author residing in Little Compton, R.I., was question ed by the Senate Investigations subcommittee July 14, 1953, when, under the chairmanship of Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.) it was investi gating the State Department's ov erseas libraries program. He refused to say whether he was a Communist ,when his books were purchased by the State De partment, but in doing so he did not invoke the Fifth Amendment's protection against possiole self-incrimination. Instead he took the Ftand that "under the First Amendment to the Constitution, my writings, my books and my political opinions are of no legitimate concern to j this committee. and duchess I became increasingly unhappy." More friction developed during preparation of 300 pages of text, he said, because the former Wallis Warfield Simpson wanted it done in the first person. "The real story of the Duchess of Windsor can't be told in the T form," the writer added. The duchess told him she had four reasons for preparing her memoirs: To prove "she was born on the right side of the tracks;" that she and the duke are "happy and busy people;" that the British royal family and British people treated them "very meanly" in not eivinP hpr thp titlo nf "hop rmjal highness;" and to show the duke was not pro-German. There finally, Amory added, was disagreement over the title. The Baltimore-born duchess wanted to call it "Wishful Thinking." The duke objected to Amory's sugges tion it be called "Untitled." He said he did not think it would tend to incriminate him to an- J swer the question of whether he had been a Communist, but he told McCarthy, in effect, that his "political affiliations" were none of the subcommittee's business. Bridging Sound Not Financially Feasible, Report OLYMPIA in A group of investment oanKers reported Tues day that the proposed bridging of Puget Sound is not financially feasible at this time. But. they added, the normal growth of Western Washington and the Puget Sound area will make the project possible "in the toreseeauie luiure. The bankers' report, submitted to the Washington State Toll Bridge Authority at a special meeting, uguieu ine project uiree ways, as a $147,637,000 bond issue for construction of a series of cross Sound bridges, a bridge across Hood Canal, and the refunding of 10 million dollars in outstanding state lerry system Bonds; a 5124, 175,000 bond issue to finance the cross-Sound bridges and refund the ferry system, and a S23,470,0OO bond issue to finance construction of the Hood Canal bridge between South Point and Lofall. "The present bond market, in our opinion, is not in condition to absorb a major piece of financing of this type except at some verv high rate of interest," the report said. It was signed by Blyth & CO., Inc., Lehman Brothers, and A. C. Allyn & Co., Inc., who acted as fiscal advisors to the TBA on the project.

Columbia River Diversion Results Told At Session i OTTAWA Wi A Canadian pro posal to divert the Columbia Riv er would result in "very serious injury" to downstream interests in the United States, the Inter national Joint Commission was told Tuesday. Chairman Len Jordan of the IJC's U.S. section said the Can nadian plan to divert the Koote nay River into the Columbia and the Columbia into the F r a s e r would jeopardize U.S. investments in power plants south of the bor der. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, chairman of the Commission's Ca nadian section, proposed the di version last spring as part of a plan to develop power in British Columbia's Fraser River Valley. Jordan in a statement read at the semi-annual IJC meeting said the U.S. has about Hi billion dol lars tied up in existing power plants in the Columbia River Ba sin, has another billion dollars in plants under construction, and has plans to build an estimated two billion dollars in plants in the next decade. 'All of these projects were plan ned and all of the funds are com mitted in anticipation that the wa ters of these international rivers would not be utilized by Canada in such a way as to jeopardize downstream intersts," Jordan de clared. Jordan said the U.S. disagrees with "numerous statements" made by McNaughton in a speech to the Commons Foreign Affairs Com mittee last June outlining his di version plan.

In the magnified illustrations of slices at the tight, notice how the texture spirals through the Spun slice, "A". This lengthens the distance any air must travel to pass from one side of the slice to the other. Actually, Davidson's exclusive Spun Process tight ens the cells and any air pockets not entirely squeezed out are sealed off in the tender golden crust. Thus, Spun slice "A" is actually made air-tight to stay fresh longer. And this means better flavor. The Spun Process also assures perfect texture. In ordinary bread, slice "B", texture runs directly through the slice. Air passes easily from one side to the other, quickly drying the bread and spoiling the flavor.
