ADDISON
By DEWITT MacKENElE
THIRTEEN years, almost to th day. hav elapsed
sine youthful Kmg Edward VIII broadcast th
fateful announcement of hi abdication for love ol
Mrs. Willi Simpson, and tiU thla event I ever
present In the thoughts of the subject who had
Idolised him. boy and man. 1
Th London Sunday Pictorial
has revived the matter with the
pungent declaration that the now
Duk ot Windsor I "virtually an
outcast from the nation to which
he wholeheartedly dedicated so
much ot his Ufa." Th paper say
. an unofficial ban by the British
royal family Is responsible for
this situation, the boycotting ot
the former king arising only
"from the ostracism of his wife."
an American-born divorcee.
"Sensible people," the 8unday
Pictorial declares, -will ask: 'Why cannot atop be
put to this long-drawn-out stupittltr' "
It's tru that th Duchess ot Windsor tent re
ceived at the royal court. For that matter no di
vorcee la received at court, under rules of long stand
ing. However, the matter probably cut a good deal
deeper than that, for the dowager Queen Mary and
tome other member ot the royal family have been
"thumbs down" on the duches from th outset.
T3 understand this unusual situation one must
know that divorcees are banned Irrespective of any
personal feelings the royal family may have. Why?
Well, because the Church ot England is against di
vorce. This Is the established tstate) church and
the king himself la head of It a "defender of the
falth."
And the ban on divorce doesnt stop there. A
member ot one ot the crack guards brigades must
offer his resignation If be Is divorced. The same
rule applies In the diplomatic service. This naturally
doesnt mean that divorces never are tolerated in
these circles, but they are the exception.
However. Edward knew all that when he defied
law and tradition in his marriage. Moreover both
the Archbishop ot Canterbury and the then Prime
Minister Baldwin (since dead) both warned the king
and begged him not to take this step. Did Edward
think he could make the church and government
back down by threatening abdication?
WE probably never shall know the answer to
that. What seems clear is that neither side
waa bluffing. The king proved that he meant busi
ness by abandoning his throne.
Does Edward regret the course he took? Those
who know him well are firm tn th belief that he
Is as much In love with his wtfe now as the day
they were married. It was a real love match.
However. It seems rather obvious that he must be
terribly hurt over the attitude maintained toward
his duchess. She must feel the same. Who wouldn't?
Moreover the general assumption is that the duke
and duchess remain away from England so much be
cause of this unhappy situation. That must be a
real tragedy for the duke for, alter all, Britain is his
home and he is a English a John Bull himself.
It's tough tor the public too. because it loves him.
8 till. It should be recorded that a host of those who
love him feel he took the wrong course. Whether he
will be forgiven Is open to question. Certainly It
would take some doing to get the court ban re-

ABCs of New FHA Rules
And Restrictive Covenants
By JAMES MAR LOW -
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17 MV-On
February 1 the federal housing ad
ministration FHA put Into effect
Its new rule on restrictive cove
nant. It announced this Thursday.
A step by step explanation is
necessary to understand the rule. It
cant be summed up in one sen
tence except atur the details have
been told. The following explanation
was obtained from FHA.
In the first place. FHA Is the
government agency which if you
live up to Its rules will Insure a
bank against loss If the bank make
you a loan to buy a house.
This has enabled a lot of people
to buy homes. Tnis year the FHA
has insured loans for one-third of
all the new homes built. .
Covenants
As for a restrictive covenant:
this Is an agreement between the
seller and buyer of a house that
It won't be resold or rented to
members of certain racial or reli
. gious groups, like Negroes or Jews.
Such a verbal agreement Is only
a gentleman's agreement It has no
legal meaning. Anyone could break
It with no legal action taken against
him.
Until recently. It was thought that
If such an agreement was written
into the deeds of a piece of prop
erty and It was filed made a mat
ter of record in a court, the courts
' would back it up and prevent a
home-owner who made the cove
nant from selling or renting to, say,
Negroes or jews.
Empty
But not long ago the supreme
court ruled that restrictive cov
enant violate the constitution and
no court can back them up. So
the legal force of restrictive cove
nant was destroyed.
Th FHA kept on making loans
on property wbere there were such
covenants. Now It has decided to
follow somewbit the supreme court
ruling by nuking a ruling of It
own. This is it:
After February It the FHA will
not Insure a loan on a piece of
property where a restrictive cove
nant has been made a matter of
record alter February IS. -
Suppose, between now and Feb
ruary it you bvy a piece of prop
erty where the restrictive covenant
has been matter of record. What
then?
FHA win Insure the loan because
Ihe covenant was on record before
February IS. But suppose you wsnt
- to buy, after February If, a house
where there has been a covenant
on record before February It.
In that case, too, the FHA will
make th loan. Why? Because the
covenant wat on record before
February It. What, then, doe the
new FHA rule mean?
Meaning
It meant this: It will not Insure
a loan where a covenant It made
a matter of lecord after February
IS. such as on a new bouse or an
old one where there was no restric
tive covenant before February IS.
But supposs the FHA, after Feb
ruary 15. lnsuies your loan and
then.- after getting it, you try to
file some kind ot restrictive cove
nant tn a court record. Will the
FHA call in our loan?
It can't. The FHA hasn't put up
any money. It's only Insured the
bank's money against loss. It the
bank wants to call in your money,
that's up t- the bank.
Suppose you haven't signed or
agreed to a restrictive covenant of
any kind, get the FHA loan, and
then when It comes time to rent
or sell the house you refuse to let
It go, say, to a Negro or a Jew
because he's a Negro or Jew. Can
the FHA do anything about that?
No. That's up to you. The FHA
says It can't Interfere with a per
son's right to refuse to rent or sell
to anyone for any reason.
To sum up: Under the new rule
you can get FHA help and dis
criminate, In renting or selling, tor
racial or religious or any other rea
sons, provided you haven't agreed
to do so in a covenant made a
matter ot record after February 15.

HAIFA, Israel. Dec 17 UP In
formants here say Israel and
Hashemtte Jordan may rush to a
final peace agreement as a result
of the UN decision to Interna
tionalize Jerusalem, which th two
countries hold Jointly.
The two nations, whose war has
been halted by a truce, already are
negotiating for settlement of traffic
problems aimed at giving Jordan a
rout to the Mediterranean sea and
providing Israel roads through
Arab-held territory to Mount Zion.
Both the Israeli republic and
King Abdullah's Arab nation are In
full agreement on maintaining
their present positions in Jerusalem
rather than giving in to the UN
internationalization order.
The Arabs hold the old city, in
which most of the holy places of
seven faiths lie. The Jews hold the
new section and have set up most
of their government offices there In
defiance of the UN order.
The Informant said the UN
order may speed up these negotia
tions in order that a final peace
agreement can be made. Other
