" 1 1 jrr r'- 1 Honest Error In Accusation WASHINGTON m Chairman Velde (R 111.) of the House Un said Thursday he made an "honest mistake" in accusing Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer of writing a pro-Russian letter j to a' Soviet publication. Mrs. Meyer is the wife bf Eugene Meyer, , board chairman of the Washington Post. Investigation dis closed another woman wrote the letter. Velde issued a statement blam ing his error on a case of mistaken identity stemming from complexi ties in translating j the Russian language. . The Illinois lawmaker said he has "taken steps through appropri ate disciplinary action against the employe responsible" for giving him the erroneous data. Velde's statement came more than 24 hours after Mrs. Meyer accused him of spreading "reck less, irresponsible and falSe utter ances" and declared he declined to make a retraction "even when confronted with the truth." Mrs. Meyer said Velde was in formed last Tuesday night, i after he had made his accusation, that the actual writer of the letter was a British Columbia woman. Velde's retraction followed a few hours after the Washington Post carried a story on its front page this morning . under two-column headlines declaring "Congressman Declines to Retract:; Mrs. Meyer exposes falsehood in attack on her by Rep. Velde." - J The newspaper said Mrs. Meyer "branded the libel as a foretaste of what Is to be expected in Velde's investigation of American educa cators." The Post article said the news paper's managing editor called Velde on Tuesday night, informed him of the error, and offered him an opportunity to "correct his er roneous statement if he wished to do so." ; s The Post went on to say that Velde refused to withdraw his ac cusation "unless Mrs. Meyer with drew what she said about him and about Sen. McCarthy" in a speech earlier this week. The controversy was touched off when Mrs. Meyer criticized Velde in addressing the American Asso ciation of School Administrators, at Atlantic City, N. J.; on Tuesday. The Illinois legislator countered with his statement about the pro Russian letter.

JONES AP Newsfeatores Writer ' LONDON Centuries of British" history Its bloodshed, intrigue and tradition will shimmer and glitter in the lights of Westminster Abbey when Queen Elizabeth II dons . her coronation regalia next ' June 2. " ; . Sparkling In the massive gold ' crown, the sceptres and state swords will be jewels too magni ficent for money to buy dia monds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds each steeped in history and with Its own story to tell. v Taken from their resting place" in the Tower of London for the ! first time in 16 years, the world i famous gems include the Black j Prince's ruby, the Koh-i-nur dia- mond from ancient India, the hugVj Cullinan diamond the largest cut ' diamond in the world and th Stuart sapphire. Not for Kings , The most famous of all the ' Koh-i-nur may not figure prorai- 1 nently in the ceremony. At present It is set in the front of the crown made specially for Queen Mary . at the coronation of King George V in 1911. . It forms no official part of the royal regalia, for according-to le gend a curse will fall upon any king who wears it although for some reason queens are exempt. The Koh-i-nur was presented to Queen Victoria in 1849, when Bri tain annexed the India state of the Punjab. It's value then was set at 28 million dollars a staggering ' sum even in those days. "Mountain of Light The Koh-i-nur the name means "mountain of light" was first, found about 30 years before Christ, according to tradition, and throughout the centuries it was shuttled backwards and forwards behind it a history of double-deal ing and murder until eventually the British East India Co. took it over with the Punjab state jewels. Another gem with a bloodstain ed past is the Black Prince's ruby, which glows balefully from the front of the imperial state crown and was described by the first Elizabeth as "great as a roeket ball." Back in the 14th century it was several hundred years old even then it was owned by the King of Grandada in .Spain. He was mur dered for it by Pedro the Cruel of Castille, who was later driven from his throne by his half-brother. Pedro got the Black Prince, eld est son of Edward II, to help him back to the throne and rewarded the prince with the ruby. Soon afterwards the prince died and the ruby became a family heirloom. Henry V carried it in his helmet against the French" at the Battle . of Agincourt in 1415 and prom ptly lost it It was afterwards re covered and set in the royal crown. This was the crown Richard III wore into battle against the future Henry VI at Ros worth. Richard was killed and his crown rolled Into a hawthorn bush. The sun glinting on the ruby led to discovery of the crown. which was used at the coronation of Henry. The ruby managed to escape the depredations of Oliver Cromwell's roundheads when they broke up the crown regalia in lff49. In an inventory made at the time, the . roundheads dismissed it as merely "one large ruby, pierced and wrap ped in paper, value four pounds. At the restoration of the mon archy, ten years later, Charles II had the ruby reset in the imperial state crown. . Edward Ill's Jewel A stone with a longer and more peaceful history 'is the sapphire set in the cross surmounting the Imperial crown. This was once owned by Ed ward the Confessor, who wore it in his ring when he was crowned in 1042. The sapphire, said to have healing properties, was buried with Edward but was taken out of the shrine at Westminster Abbey 50 years later and joined the col lection of royal jewels. . The Stuart sapphire is set at the back of the imperial crown. This was first owned by Charles II, but his brother, James II, took It with him to France when he was deposed in 1688. For more than 100 years it remained one of the. few possessions of the exiled Stu art family, until Cardinal York, James' descendant, gave it to George III. ' Costly Finery . The most recent addition to the crown jewels (s the huge Cullinan diamond, found in South Africa in 1905 and presented to Edward VII by the Transvaal government. . It weighed over one and a half pounds when found, and was in sured for 42 million dollars. Ed ward had it split inlo two large stones both the largest cut dia monds in the world two lesser stones and more than 100 small diamonds. - One of the large stones was set . In the cross of the king's sceptre and the other In the imperial state crown. Associated Oil Firm Awarded County's Pact .
