Princess Elizabeth Still Heart Free
London, Sept. 10.
•Any conjectures at the present time or in the near future as to the husband-to-be of Princess Elizabeth, future Queen of England, are "wild predictions," according to well-informed - Palace sources today.
Despite
For the past two years especially rumours have been rife that the Princess would soon marry this or that foreign prince.or English peer.
continued official denials on each occasion, the so- called engagement or romantic linking received what was con- sidered undue publicity.
"Marriage is not Princess Elizabeth's mind," it is stated.
BRIDGE NOTES
The elimination and throw-in play does not, as a rule, require expert technique. Under favour- able circumstances average play- ers are well enough equipped for Its execution. Occasionally, how ever, the timing problem is rather subtio; then the play requires the most careful planning. Today's hand illustrates the proper and the Improper "stripping" process.

Although the Princess is well aware that she must one day marry, there is no indication that the problem is causing her anxiety at the moment, nor la sho "affectionately attached" to anyone:
She is still "heart-whole" and marriage is a qucation of "when the right time comes."
Elizabeth is carefully heing groomed for Queenship, and it is pointed out the King will not tolerate anything which in- terferes with her training.
Loves Parties
The Princess has lately been allowed a good deal of freedom, and has been attending private parties, theatres, dances and even visiting night clubs with eligible young friendla of hor choice.
JEWS TO RESIGN
Jerusalem, Sept. 10.
A resolution for non-co- operation in the local ad- niinistration of Palestine was passed unanimously by the Jewlth National Council to-
day.
The resolution, which goes into efect iminedlately, means that Jewish members of seme 80 advisory councils covering nearly every aspect of the Palestine Civil Administration will resign. The Council called for the reising of £100,000 by public subscription among Jews to help illegal immigra- tlon-Reuter.

Both Britain and Russia bo-

may now completo its work in another six weeks in time for the United Nations General Assembly to meet in New York on Oct. 28.

It is further pointed out that King is interested in Elizabeth seeing something of the world, and she may soon make an African tour, follow ed, possibly, by tours of Aus tralin, Canada and the United States before her marriage.
Princesa Elizabeth, it iR pointed out, is a serious young woman determined to become a Buccessful Queen when called upon. She is studiously de- voting herself, first and fore- most, to the task of training for that "job" while enjoying to the full the new freedom at movement she has been allow- ed.
