be Biarried in Washington near
the end of November. Mrs.
Simpson said she will retain her
American citizenship.
"I am very much in love with
David," said Mrs. Simpson,
squeezing the marquess' hand in
front of a number of newsmen
in a borrowed suite in the swank
Claridge's hotel.
Mrs. Simpson, mother of an
18-months-old daughter, was di
vorced in Reno last year from
William Simpson, whom she
married in New York state in
1946.
The marquess, who as David
Michael Mountbatten is a mem
ber of the royal house of Wind
sor and between 30th and 40th
in line for the British throne,
admitted at the press conference
that he had decided to marry
the beautiful Washington and
New York society woman with-J
out the royal approval oi King
George VI.
Milford Haven said he felt he
was so far removed from any
possible succession that he did
not come under the mariiage act
of 1772, which makes it manda
tory for the king to consent to
any royal betrothal.
V
The marquess first announced
his engagement in a three-page
press release issued by a Brit
ish public relations office.
Answering criticism that he
had violated normal court eti
quette by announcing his en
gagement in a press release, Mil
ford Haven said he had written
the king about his engagement
a short time ago "as a matter of
courtesy."
Mrs. Simpson said she met
the marquess in London at the
end of May and that they had
four dates in a row.
Milford Haven, who disquali
fied himself as London's most
eligible royal bachelor with the
engagement announcement, said
it would be a big wedding and
would be held at the home of
Mrs. Simpson's mother at 2029
Connecticut avenue in Washing
ton.
Mrs. Simpson leaves for the
United States on October 14.
She said she would retain her
American citizenship.
U. S. Has Hundreds
Of New Weapons
Washington, Sept. 29 (U.B
Gen. Jacob L. Devers reported
today that the army is develop
ing "hundreds of new and lm-
proved weapons to insure that
U. S. soldiers bear arms "supe
rior to any potential enemy's.'
The retiring commander of
army field forces said in his fi
nal report that one of the most
"promising" new weapons is a
lightweight rifle which, when
perfected, will replace the pres
ent rifle, carbine and sub-machine
gun.
Devers made only one cryptic
reference to the best-known and
most-dreaded of all new wea
pons the atomic bomb. He rec
ommended "further study and
test" of the possibility of using
the A-bomb as a tactical wea
pon to increase the efficiency
of the army field forces.
His suggestion that the bomb
might conceivably be used by
ground forces in actual field
operations ran directly counter
to prevailing military opinion
that the A-bomb is strictly a
"strategic" weapon for blasting
cities and massed Industrial tar
get. Nurserymen Meet

Oregon Association of Nursery
men convened here today for a
two-day fall session.

Ohio, saw his mother, Mrs. Dennis Cunningham (above), for
the first time recently with the aid of heavy spectacles.
The child, born with cataracts, underwent an operation for
the removal of the opaque lenses on the eyeballs. With
glasses he has a 50-50 chance to see normally. He is one of the
youngest to be fitted with spectacles. (Acme Telephoto)
Farmers Advised
On Conservation
Now that land is being cleared
of crops as the fall harvest pro
gresses, it is time for farmers
of Marion county to complete
conservation practices for which
they have signed up under the
1949 agricultural conservation
program, advices W. M. Tate,
chairman of the county agricul
tural conservation committee.
The fall practices which can
be completed in Marion county
are: application of lime and
phosphate, tiling, ditching, sod
waterways, rip rapping stream
banks, weed control with chem
icals, clearing old orchards and
non-crop land for pasture and
seeding pasture.
Those producers who have not
already requested prior approv
al of conservation practices may
do so by contacting the county
office located at 440 North
Church street, Salem.
Tate said that the only con
servation practices which check
erosion and restore the fertility
to the land are those which are
actually carried out. Practices
put down on paper intended
but not carried out won't keep
a gully from forming or the top
soil washing off the hillsides.
Assistance to encourage farm
ers and make it possible for
them to carry out conservation
practices has been provided un
der the agricultural conservation
program. It is vital to the na
tion that its soil and water re
sources be protected and built
up for future abundant produc
tion to meet the needs of an
increasing population. But every
farmer has an equal obligation
to the country to protect land
and water resources. The ACP
makes it possible for him to
discharge this obligation.
In carrying out conservation
practices under ACP, farmers
must complete the practices In
accordance with approved speci
fications in return for the as
sistance received. Meeting these

specifications is to the farmer's
own interest, too, because by
so doing he is assured of effec
tive practices on his farm.
By providing assistance to
help in getting essential conser
vation practices carried out, the
nation is getting this vital job
done in the most economical, ef
ficient, and timely method yet
devised, Mr. Tate said. This as
sistance is the "push" that puts
into effect on the individual
farms of the country the re

stration work of the U. S. de
partment of agriculture. More
than 3 million farmers are par

Elliott Recall
Election Certain
Portland, Sept. 29 (ft Mult
nomah Registrar James W. Glea-
son has notified Sheriff M. L.
Elliott that a recall election
against him is assured unless he
resigns in five days.
The elections official said the
final check of recall election
petitions revealed 34.099 were
valid. This was 3,534 more
than necessary.
Elliott has, under the law, five
days in which to quit the of
fice voluntarily. If he does not
resign, then Gleason must order
the election to be held within
20 days.
Elliotts campaign manager,
R. W. Brown, said the idea that
the sheriff would resign was "an
absurdity." He said, "you and
I know that no one respects a
quitter." He added that the
Portland newspapers had not
given Elliott a fair chance.
