WASHINGTON. I{ec. 3—(/P) —
The question of just; what will be-
in the valedictory report of George
N. Peek, resigned New Deal advis-
or on foreign trade, intrigued the
capital today.
Peek, whowe resignation as advis-
or to President Roosevelt and pres-
ident of the two federal export-
import banks was announced late
yesterday, would not'say. Nor
would he give reasons for resign-
ing, leaving that to President
Roosevelt.
But every one knew he had dis-
agreed sharply with method*
whereby Secretary Hull seeks to
revive world trade through reci-
procal international pacts. More-
over. intimate* of Peek said his
“xWan song” report, on possible ef-
fect* of* the new Canadian-Amer-
ica n trade agreement, will be “very J
critical.”
Peek had been asjeed to jsubmit
this to the president. The treaty
was signed after long negotiations
by Secretary Hull.

^O^tK, Dec. 3—(F)—The
name'of l5rince Serge Mdivani was
hack in American society columns
again today—this time linked with
reports he will marry Louise As-
tor Van Alen. former wife of his
brother. Prince Alexis.
The New York Daily News as-
serted the engagement of Prince
Serge and Miss Van Alen was dis-
closed by intimate friends of the
Van Alen family in Newport, R. I.
A formal engagement will not be
forthcoming from the Van Alen
family, the News said, adding that
the tragic death Of Alexis in an
auto accident abroad may explain
the hesitancy.
I’rincd Serge formerly was tho
husband1 of Pola N’egri and of Mary
McCormic. and the paper reported
society of New York and Newport
was “flabbergasted” by the word
that he is now wooing his former
sister-in-law.
Her marriage to Prince Alexis
was understood to have been none
too happy. It ended in divorce in
1932. Shortly afterward, Alexis
married Barbara Hutton, American
five-and-ten store heiress.
Prince David Mdivani, third of
the marrying brothers, is the di-
vorced husband of Mae Murray,
former film star.

survey today showed that ^he mav>-
4nen4 to require teachor* to swenr
oaifcB of loyalty has gained muefc
momentum.
Twenty-tiro states have passed
*uch laws, oeven of them in the
past year. In 20 other states ten it-
ers’ oaths bill* are pending or are
expected to be introduced when
legislatures open again.
Vigorous controversy ha* attend-
ed the drive. “Bweax to uphold the
constitution” is the cry of the
Daughters o-f the American Rev.
dliition; the American Legion and
it* auxiliary and the Veteraqs of
Foreign Wars. | ji 1
’ In reply, “academic freedom*’ is
being urged by John W. StUdi-
baker, federal commissioner of
education; by the National Educa-
tional association and the Americ-
an Federation of Teach erf*.
Because eof last congress passed,
not only an oath law fot the Dis-
trict ol| Columbia, but: a law under
whlah teachers here ha\]e to si<h
a statement they did not tea h
communism before receiving pay-
check*, this city ha* become a
storm-center of the struggle.
One argument for teachers’ oath*-
is advanced by Mrs. j Vinton Earl
Sisson, national defense 'chairman
of the D.A.R. in a recent publica-
tion:
“Never have we thought that
any public servant endangered hi*
freedom of thought, or *peeeh. by
taking an oath of allegiance;’to the
constitution of the United States,
the very bnlkwark of freedom.”
An excerpt from an “academic
freedom”- resolution passed by'the
National Educational association:
“The sudden singling out of teach-
ers to take an oath of allegiance
is a mean* of intimidation which
can be used to destroy the right of
academic freedom.’’ •
Officials of the N.E.Ai.. said to-
day their objection to the oaths
lay in being made a “special target”
of “pressure group*” with ’’impii-
catlon of disloyalty.” But John
Thomas 'Taylor, of the American
Legion national legislative oom-
rruKtee eaid:
“Teachers must sincerely and
honestly believe in the principle of
the constitution which is the cor-
nerstone of our national Well-being,
and the American Legion believes
they should willingly qualify them-
selves to teach by swearing to up-
hold an,d defend the constitu-
tion * • * ”
