Byrnes Takes
Responsibility
For UN Policy
WASHINGTON, Mar. 23 (A)
James F. Byrnes said today he
alone was responsible for the
policy, when he was secretary of
state, that the State department
would make no recommendations
as to Americans applying for jobs
with the U. N.
In a letter to a house judiciary
subcommittee, Byrnes denied spe-
cifically, that Alger Hiss had any-
thing to do with formulating this
policy.

back “to the early 1300s to find
sustained periods of storminess
similar to the devastating tidal
floods which have already struck
North Sea coastal areas.”
Mr. McDonald said scientists
are searching the past to try to
find an explanation for extreme
climactic fluctuations.
“Evidence accumulating over
the past decade,” he said, “seems
to point toward solar energy out-
put as the quantity whose varia-
tions may be fundamentally re-
sponsible for climactic fluctua-
tions,”
From 1300 to 1400, he said,

North Europe suffered climactic
handicaps never since equalled
“save for just such exceptional
storms as the ones reported re-
cently.”
No one knows why the 14th
century was so stormy but “it
was an uncomforable time to be
alive,” he said. Sea-floods of
those times completely altered
the coastline of the North Sea.
Half the island of Helgoland was
ripped away on Jan. 16, 1300, and
the former island of Borkum was
cut by the same storms into
small remnants that became the
present Frisian islands.
When the atmosphere brings
disaster in its violence, Dr. Mc-
Donald said, the- student of cli-
mate “can only point out that it
has at some time in the past
been as bad, or worse—and will
be as bad, or worse, again.”-

Carolina, was secretary of state
from July, 1945, to January, 1947.
Hiss, an employe of the State de-
partment during this time, has .
since been convicted of perjury
for denying he passed secret in-
formation to a Communist spy
ring.
Byrnes said his policy decision
was reached in the light of con-
ditions “as they then existed.” It
did not bind his successors if
changing conditions made other
action appropriate, he added.
The subcommittee has been
looking into reports of subver-
sive characters among Americans
on the U. N. payroll, and into al-
leged interference by the State
and Justice departments with a
New York federal grand jury’s
inquiry into subversives and the
U. N.
The subcommittee solicited a
statement from Byrnes in connec-
tion with testimony by then Sec-
retary of State Dean Acheson last
Dec. 31 that he had inherited
from Byrnes a State department
policy against recommending
U. N. job seekers or screening
them for loyalty.
In his letter, Byrnes called at-
tention to the wording of the
U. N. charter. He said it gives
the U. N. secretary general “ab-
solute authority to sect his staff”
with no obligation to consult
with the State department, or
with other ' member nations.
He said his decision was made
in the light of that provision.

JOHN DYMOKE
Hypothetical Duelist
tied down to a fraction of their
former importance.
At one time the earl marshal
was the lord high steward’s dep-
uty, responsible for internal law
and order. Today, his duties are
purely ceremonial and con-
cerned mainly with stage man-
aging coronations and royal fu-
nerals and with running the
royal college of heralds, where
armorial bearings and family
trees are kept.
The office, first created in the
14th century, has been held for
the last 300 years or so by the
Dukes of Norfolk.
The office of lord great cham-
berlain dates back to Norman
times. In those days the lord
great chamberlain used to be
the monarch’s financial wizard,
responsible for keeping the
royal coffers filled.
His dusties -gradually fell to
his deputy, the lord chamber-
lain —I in these days the man
who runs the monarch’s house-
hold. Today, the lord great
chamberlain’s job consists main-
ly of looking after the royal
palace of Westminster—the offi-
cial name for ■ the houses of
parliament—and making the ar-
rangements when the sovereign
formally opens the parliamen-
tary session every year.
In the old days, the lord great
chamberlain was responsible for
dressing the sovereign on the
morning of his coronation, and
could claim as his fees the royal
bed and nightclothes.
This job came to an abrupt
halt in the days of Queen Anne,
who was reportedly extremely
annoyed when the lord great
chamberlain of the day arrived
in her bedroom on coronation
morn and announced his inten-
tion of dressing her.
Nominally, the office is heredi-
tary, but is claimed equally by
Lords Lancaster, Cholmondeley
and Carrington.
To save undignified squabbles,
the three families agreed some
years ago to take the job in
turn. For this reign, the 70-
year-old Lord Cholmondeley is
lord great chamberlain.
The lord high chancellor is
the only great officer of state
still retaining his political pow-
ers.
He represents law, justice —
is “keeper of the king’s con-
science”—and is the monarch’s
chief legal advisor.
His office is a political ap-
pointment carrying a 28,000 dol-
lars a year salary, plus a pala-
tial apartment in the palace of
Westminster. He acts as speak-
er of the house of Lords and
presides over the Lords when
they sit as the country’s highest
appeal court.
President holder of the office
— regarded as the plum of Brit-
ain’s legal profession — is 72-
year-old Lord Simonds, a law-
yer.

10 days. 1
Members also were privileged
to go through one of Weather-
ford’s oldest and most beautiful
homes owned by Mrs. Nolan
Queen. The house is furnished
throughout in unusual and valu-
' able .antiques.
A large church painting in
the Main Street Church of
Christ, painted by Mrs. Harvey
White of Gainesville and for-
merly of Weatherford, was seen
by the group. Mrs. White was
told that many people come to
view the painting which is said
to contain unusual beauty and
merit by both artists and the
general public.
En route home the group
stopped to visit the Botanic gar-
• dens in Ft. Worth and drove
through the Red Bud trail in
Denton.
Making the trip were Messrs,
and Mmes. Claude McCarty,
Dock Teague, Harvey White
and Mmes. Joe Leonard, Sr.,
Dock Dudley, Ernie Baker, Hu-
bert White and Fred Kisling.

■ Contestants for
. Circus Queen
Seeking Votes
The nine Gainesville and
Cooke county school girls who
are candidates for queen of the
Circus Roundup to be held April
15-17, are now in the field seek-
ing votes that will reward one
of the group with the highest
honors of the annual celebration.
Three Gainesville high school
girls, two from junior high, one
each from Sacred Heart and pub-
* lie high school at Muenster, and
Valley View and Era high school
representatives are in the compe-
tition.
Votes are counted in the
amounts of money raised from
various projects for the various
girls.
An added interest in the
queen’s contest this year is the
sale of automobile plates which
bear the wording “Gainesville,
Circus Town U. S. A.” and fig-
ures of circus animals in color.
One thousand of these plates
were ordered by the Circus '
Roundup board of directors, and 1
they have been turned over to
the contestants to sell at $1.50
, each. Each plate sold will count
150 votes for the contestant.
Girls entered in the contest are
asked to turn in their vote money
, to Cecil Gardner, Leo Schmitz or
Vernie Keel, members of the con-
test committee, so that a first
total may be made public early
this week.

(The lord high steward—naval
hero, Admiral Lord Cunningham
—will carry the massive St. Ed-
ward’s crown instead of acting
as the queen’s right hand man.
All three will march in the
glittering procession — tradition-
ally called the “grand proces-
sion”—that precedes the queen
up the aisle of Westminster
abbey to the high altar, where
the actual crowning takes place
June 2.
Dymoke will be the only com-
moner in this aristocratic com-
pany of 22 noble lords, chosen
specially by Queen Elizabeth
herself for the high honor of
carrying her standards and re-
galia—the crown, orb, scepters,
golden spurs and jeweled
swords of state.
Three other wartime heroes—
Field Marshals Lord Montgom-
ery and Lord Alexander and
Marshal of the Royal Air Force
Lord Portal—march with Alan
Brooke and Cunningham in the
procession. Montgomery will
carry the queen’s own personal
standard, Portal will bear the
scepter, and Alexander — Brit-
ain’s defense minister — the
golden orb.
Dymote, slim, shy and be-
spectacled, gets his hereditary
job of queen’s champion as head
of the Dymoke family.
Dymokes have been royal
champions since 1377, when
Richard II hit on the brilliant
idea of getting someone else to
do the fighting for him. It was
a signal honor in those days,
when kings were touchy about
who they allowed near their
royal person.
It’s been a sinecure job —{ no
one has ever publicly contested
any monarch’s right to the
throne on coronation day — but
until 120 years ago the Dymokes
always dressed for the part.
Clad in their best armor and
mounted on their fiercest war-
horse, they would clatter into
Westminster hall — where coro-
nation banquets were once held
—hurl down a mailed gauntlet,
and challenge to personal com-
bt anyone “of what degree so-
ever, high or low,” who dis-
puted the king’s right to “the
imperial crown of this realm.”
But in this, as in many other
traditions connected with Brit-
ish coronations, dignity some-
times turned into low farce.
On one occasion a souvenir
hunter made off with the gaunt-
let as soon as the champion
threw it down; another time a
portly Dymoke, unused to wear-
ing medieval armor, fell down
and could not get up. The last
Dymoke to ride into Westmin-
ster hall borrowed a circus
horse trained to walk back-
wards out of the royal presence
— and was embarrassed to find
himself being backed in as well
as out.
The lord high constable and
lord high steward both figure
in a list of five “great officers
of state” that reads like a cast
list from “The Mikado.”
Heading the officers is the
lord high steward, followed by
the lord high chancellor, the
lord great chamberlain, the lord
high constable, and the earl
marshal. Two more great offi-
cers — never appointed now —
were the lord high admiral and
the lord high treasurer.
These great officers of state
were the king’s right hand men
in the days when monarchs
ruled as well as reigned.
In two cases — the constable
and the steward—the posts be-
came too important and were
abolished by prudent monarchs.
In two more cases—the earl
marshal and the great chamber-
lain—the posts have been whit-

Band Together
To Fight Crime,
Shepperd Says
AUSTIN, March 23—“The rats
of crime would flee like gophers
from a bulldozer” if Texas law
enforcement officers would band
together, Atty-Gen. John Ben
Shepperd said today.
Keynoting an annual confer-
ence of local, state and federal
officers and prosecutors, Shep-
perd stoutly endorsed a state de-
partment of justice.
The department’s first job
would be rooting out “criminals
and political racketeers who seem
to be bigger than the law in cer-
tain counties,” he said. But he ex-
pressed concern over this'method.
“We might be building a can-
non to shoot a few squirrels.”
200 Attend
Maybe the question ought to go
into a constitutional amendment,
Shepperd suggested. “In any case,
j we must devise the means to
make crime not only unpopular,
unprofitable and dangerous, but
suicidal.”
The attorney general’s audience
includes more than 200 Texas
crime stoppers here for a two-
day conference to seek ways to
plug enforcement loopholes.
Officers must use modern
means to catch modern criminals,
Shepperd indicated. “Crime is
organized It is educated. It is no
longer merely committed — it is
engineered.
Speed Cited
Any criminal can flee hun-
dreds of miles from the scene of
the crime within a few hours, the
speaker pointed out.
“The police officer must stay
within the law by keeping within
the, . . . area of his jurisdiction.”
Besides, Shepperd stated, the of-
ficer must stay within his bud-
get.
Backers of the centralized state
justice department don’t want to
take away local, officers’ inde-
pendence, the attorney general
said.
“They hope to establish an
agency that will stand under lo-
cal authorities to bolster them,
not one that will stand over them
and dominate.'
Members of the conference will
hear some advice from congress
to community leaders.

SUZANNE KINARD NORA HEADRICK
High school, Sophomore class High school, Junior class
By ROBERT F. S. JONES
AP Newsfeatures
LONDON — Just for corona-
tion day, Queen Elizabeth II
will have an official champion
ready to fight anyone who chal-
lenges her right to the throne.
And in theory, she will also
have a lord high constable to
command her army, and a lord
high steward to help her run
the country.
In practice, of course, the trio
will do nothing of the sort. It’s
a one night stand for them —
their historic, centuries-old jobs
are only brought out of cold
storage for coronations.
The queen’s champion—26-year-
old John Dymoke, a captain in
the British army —i will carry
one of the royal standards in-
stead of fighting duels.
The lord high constable—Brit-
ain’s wartime chief of staff.
Field Marshal Lord Alan Brooke
— will hand the queen her re-
galia instead of leading her
troops.
