Prince Michael Radziwill, the wealthy Polish noble- man who wants to marry a mannequin, is unperturbed by the decision of a Polish court placing him and his fortune in the care of a guardian.

The order was obtained at the instigation of his aristocratle family, who are trying to prevent him from marrying, at the nge of sixty-seven, Mme, Jeanette Suchestov, a Jewish beauty who is already divorced from one husband by whom she has a son, now aged eight.

The prince and his fancee are in Monte Carlo, In a telephone inter- view given to a Paris newspaper, he saldi -

"foresaw the court's decision and parried it in advance."

"In fact, the priest who anointed me has been deprived of his living which proves that hatred still fel- lows us."

Prince Michael concluded: "What- ever happens I will not let myself be caught in this mesh of intrigue. Nothing can stop is from becoming married. Tell that to the world."

Prince Michael fell in love with his dancec at the Italian resort of Montecatini.

New York, Jan. 30.

TWELVE-HOUR, non-stop flight from New York to London in giant, luxurious airplanes carrying 100 or more passengers, will be possible as early as 1941, according to announcements made by officials of the Pan-American Airways.

Airmail operations across the Atlantic by the

summer of.

1938 is now virtually a certainty. Pan-American Airways, Im- perial Airways of Great Britain, and Deutsche Lufthansa of Ger- many, have all completed flight survey programmes and signified their intention of conducting scheduled nights across the North Atlantic-during-1938.-Passenger-service, however, will-not-begin- until carly in 1941 when the new 100 passenger ships will be put into service.

Such aircraft as is contemplated for the trans-Atlantic route will be capable of flying non-stop, 5,000 statute miles carrying a payload of 25,000 pounds. The new ships will have a minimum cruising speed of 283 miles per hour at present "normal" flight levels and 299 miles per hour at 25,000 feet.
