LOVE MAY WIN YET
Duke's Daughter Slides Down
Bed sheet Into Arms of Lover
Madrid. Spain. Dec. 20 VP) A dawn elopement by a duke's
daughter who slid down a bedsheet rope to the arms of her
handsome bullfighter boy friend was frustrated this last week
nd by an angry papa. But love may win out, after all.
The lady is Angclita Perez de Soane, 18-year-old daughter
of the Duke of Pinohermoso
The duke opposed her marriage
to a 24-year-old bullfighter, Luis
Miguel Gonzales, known to bull
ring fans as Dominguin.
Angelita wrote Dominguin a
fortnight ago that her ducal pa
pa was about to put her in a
convent to block the match. The
letter brought Dominguin back
from a Caracas, Venezuela, bull
ring.
Early Saturday morning An-
felita slid down a sheet from her
edroom. Dominguin left her
with some friends who chap
eroned her while the suitor fu
tllely tried to get a marriage
license.
The duke meanwhile spent
his Saturday complaining to the
police. The officers finally ar
rested Angelita's hosts for kid
napping. In the stormy scene that fol
lowed in Madrid's police head
quarters, Angelita insisted she
had not been kidnapped, she'd
left of her own free will. Dom
inguin said he regretted the es
capade. The duke admitted he,
too, had acted hastily.
Angelita was back home to
day, but the word went around
Madrid's gossiping society cir
cles that the duke probnbly will
permit the match after a little
more convincing from Domin
guin. Madrid society thinks the
nuptials will take place In time
to permit the bridegroom to ap
pear In a Quito, Ecuador, bull
ring on January 10.
The duke should be getting
used to bull fgihters In the fam
ily. Another of his daughters
married Toreador Domingo Or
tega In 1938.

Mao's Trip to Moscow Shows
Stalin's Policy Supreme in Asia
(Editor's Note: John Roderick, AP correspondent now
stationed in London, spent several months in 1946 as the
only United States correspondent in Mao Tze-tung's remote
cave capital at Yenan. He became acquainted with Mao
and reported the inner workings of the struggling Chinese
red regime. Following is derived from his background
experience there.)
By JOHN RODERICK
London, Dec. 20 VP) Mao Tze-Tung, the west's favorite can
didate for an Oriental Tito, has made his first known trip out
side his native China to pay personal homage to the man he
frequently has said he reveres Joseph Stalin.
Only last summer one Yugoslav leader said he expected the
Chinese communists that lion--
maned Mao rules to follow Pre
mier-Marshal Tito's example of
rebellion against the Kremlin.
A month ago another top Yu
goslav party strategist said he
foresaw an eventual conflict be
tween Moscow and Mao's gov
ernment in Peiping.
A segment of the western
world has shared this feeling,
a feeling that is more of a hope
than a conviction.
Mao could have let the caul
dron of speculation bubble by
staying in Peiping's winter pa
lace and keeping an oriental si
lence.
But despite frail health, he
arrived in Moscow last night
after an eight to ten day Jour
ney over the trans-Siberian rail
way, in time for Stalin's birth
day next Wednesday.
In a speech upon his arrival
in Moscow, the Chinese Red
leader said strengthening of re
lations and friendship between
China and Soviet Russia were
among the most important prob
lems of the moment. He added
that thanks to the correct inter
national policy of Stalin, these
and other tasks would be reali
zed in full.
His visit underlines the solid
arity of Marxist and Stalinist
communism in the Far East. The
hammer and sickle never seem
ed more powerful in Asia than
it does today.
Mao, unlike many of his dis
ciples and colleagues, never
travelled abroad. His education
as a historian and philosopher
came in Chinese schools.
His dynamic prime minister,
Chou En-lai, studied in France
and speaks a smattering of Eng
lish. Mao's commander-in-chief,
aging General Chu Teh, visited
Russia in the mid-1920's.
Mao's 'visit gives the chance
for Moscow and Peiping to blue
print the future of communism
in the Far East. In this, the
peasant's soon who became one
of the most powerful of the
world's leaders may take no
back seat to Stalin.
Mao has his own ideas of what
to do inside China, where his
forces are concentrating on a
policy of agrarian reform and
evelopment in contrast to Rus
sia's emphasis on the industrial
proletariat.
But in international affairs
Mao is viewed as ready to lend
a sympathetic ear. Even before
he came to power over 450 mil
lion Chinese, his pronounce
ments and those of Moscow had
a decidely similar ring.
One of the chief subjects he
will discuss either with Stalin
or with Russian ministers prob
ably will be China's attitude
toward Britain and the United
States, if and when they recog
nize the Peiping government.
Another probably will be the
decision of how slow or how fast
to go at turning Peiping into
an eastern Moscow and Mao
himself into an Asiatic Lenin.
Asia's millions, in the commu
nists eyes, are only waiting for
the word.

Brady Lays Down
Gavel in Huff
Portland, Dec. 20 (P) Team
ster Phil Brady presided last
night at his last AFL Portland
Central Labor council meeting
since he took over the job of
president IS years ago.
He didn't lay down the gavel
quietly, either. Brady took a
verbal fling at what he said were
"carping critics and mudsling
ers" who opposed his tenure. He
was recently defeated by a
write-in candidate of the Elec
trical Workers' union in the an
nual election. His successor, RdSf
F. Renoud, takes office in Jan
uary. Brady laid at rest any ideas
the teamsters might pull out of
the council and the state federa
tion. He said the union would
continue to work with both la
bor organizations.
