WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. The gossips here have been trilling their tongues overtime since the royal wedding. They cannot j quite make It i out. They have never doubted ,that there Is a Santa Claus, out apparently dra.v the line .on t.:e recent London news yarns, which appear to h a v e been just about the best fa.rv tales written since Hans Chrls 1 1 a n Anderson wiped the rain bow ink from his pen and tucked It away forever. The speculation Is not entirely un justified. In view of the fact that the royal household chose to ma ice such a public affair of the wedding that It assumed a public significance beyond its Inherent personal nature. As near as our wariest authorities well connected with London can learn. most of the talk, as usual, is Mini: The story accredited here la that the royal family made It the biggest royal wedding In 550 years solely for patriotic effect. England Is facing a hard winter. A section of the people is restless. A certain high American official said not long ago that he would not be surprised to see major trouble In stolid England this winter. The crown la the symbol of British authority. A royal wedding la a na tional patriotic celebration. The poor generally will not begrudge the ex penditure, but will be touched by the traditional appeal. It was go:d regal politics.

ASSASSINAIIOM OF SOVIET CHIEFTAIN OF Possibility of External Plot Against Soviet Union Is Erased by Identification of Killer Crime Confessed Royalty moves in a stratosphere of privacy which discourages realistic re porting. It is impossible to say whether the following realistic ex planation of how Prince George and Princess Marina came together la He erally true. It can be said that the account Is going the rounds of hoi pollol In London town and here, it carries a tone of reasonable credi bility. " 1 Stately Queen Mary was. according to this accepted version, the lnsl gfitor of the match. There was no International politics Involved, -only a private family matter. Voting Prince George had been sus pected of sowing a wild oat or two. much to the discomfiture of nls mother. Then. elso. there was the question, a couple of years ago. of en American singer, Edythe. She made a big hit in London, and a bgger hit with George. They were ten together soTnuch that pressure was brought to bear on the King, un doubtedly by the mother. The King was Incltnel to let the boy, lead h.s own life, within reason: but an act ress, sn American actress, was an other matter. George was sent on an empire good will tour to South Africa, alone. By AND RUB HERDING (Associated Press Foreign Staff.) ROME, Dec. 3. Jp) France and Germany today signed "an agreement of peace" over the Sear basin terri tory. By the terms of this agreement v.htch Is expected to end the grate controversy over the future sovereign ity of the district. Germany will pay France 900.000.000 franca (approxi mately $59,400,000) and 11.000.00C .ciia of coal for France's mines and private credits in the Saar basin and. : arthcrmore, Germany guarantees equal rights to voters and non-vote-a among all the inhabitants of the Star legardless of race, religion or lan guage. Two Part Agreement. Receiving the foreign pi-ess till Uterooon, the Spanish delegate to ',he committee of three, Lopez Oil van, told the correspondents that the agreement was divided Into two parts, political and economic. The political accord, he said, is di vided Into three parts as follows: (1) Germany guaranteea to extend to non-voters the same standing as that of voters; (2) All have equal rights to aocisl Insurance and state assistance; (3) The Inhabitants of .the flsir !ave equal rights"" regard less of lar... ,;age, race and religion. The financial accord, said the Span ish delegate, colls for the payment by Germany of 900.000.000 francs for ttie mines, which are the property of the French government, and for the pri vate credits held by France, as jwcll as a payment of 11.000.000 tons of coal from the Saar mines. Exchange Untouched. France and Germany, by the accord reached an agreement In a method cf payment which will not Interfere with Germany's foreign exchange. OH van said the committee of three, composed of himself. Baron Pompo Aloisl of Italy and Ambassador Can lillo of Argentina, had received from ihe league council only a mandate of forming proposals to be laid before the council, but hed been able to go beyond this mandate and reach a cirect agreement between the two in terested parties which had been sign ed today by the German and French embassadors. "This is a success for the League of Nations," said Ollvan. "At the same time, the committee expresses the hope that this accord will bring peace to Europe." - EVERYBODY HAPPY AS ROOSEVELT AND AIDES TALK SHOP MOSCOW, Ie. 3.
