London Air-Mail Letter POLITICAL CRISIS

King Feisal: Summer Time In London What "Dressing" Means At Cannes: An Eighteen-Century Memory: Television: An Exclusive Club: On Holiday By Air

(Special Air-Mail Service)

London, August »30. Our London correspondent writ- ing some days before the sudden and unexpected death of King Feisal says of him:-"

·;

King Feisal who began the thirteenth year of his reign yes-

terday in rather stormy political weather, is used to crises.

He is never more the popular conception of the inscrutable Oriental than when the political barometer is unsettled. Even in private life he rarely exceeds a quiet geniality.

I have only once seen him real- ly excited. That was in a London drawing-room, when the conver- sation turned on Arabiè poetry.

Then he ran his fingers through his hair, and, standing on the hearth-rug, quoted the early Arab poets like one inspired."

I have just seen a gratifying proof of the vitality of Mr. Frederick, Delius, Recently a fine performance of his Mass of Life was given under Dr. Hopkins Evans at the National Eisteddfod. Dr. Evans has now received a letter from the composer saying how much he regrets he was not able to hear it, and thanking him for the loving care with which he prepared the performance.

This tribute is the more remark-

MARY MONCKTON "AND"

DR. JOHNSON

Sir Edward Stern's generous be- quests to the National Gallery will revive interest in that sparkling 18th century leader of society Mary Monckton (painted by Rey- nolds), who queened it in Old Burlington-street until she died as Dowager Countess of Cork in 1840 at the age of 94.

She was able to get together all the brains and wit of her day. and Dr Johnson bubbled over in his give-and-take chats with her. "You're a dunce, dearest," he said playfully to her

He declared that the "National Front" had rejected any form of Fascism and that the recent activities of the Heimwehr, the Fascist organisation under Prince Starhemberg, had become intoler- abic.

The position was reached where Dr. Dollfuss must make up his mind what course he was going to follow-Reuter.
