Elizabeth's Wedding
By th· Associated Press
LONDON. Oct. 30—A United |
States Embassy source said today!
Ambassador and Mrs. Lewis W. j
Douglas and their 18-year-old j
daughter Sharman had been invited ;
to the wedding of Princess Eliza- ;
beth and undoubtedly had accepted.;
"Those are the only American
names we have," he added.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman
said "We do not intend to make
public in any way any list of the
wedding guests, apart from an offi
cial list of foreign royalty, and that
not now."
Speculation has flourished, how
ever, with the names of President

Margaret: Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
Gen. Eisenhower, Secretary of State
Marshall and John G. Winant, war
time Ambassador to Britain, figur
ing most prominently.

and Lt. Philip Mountbatten.
In New York a member of Mrs.!
Roosevelt's secretarial staff said the
President's widow had received an
invitation, but could not attend be
cause of her responsibilities as s j
member of the American delegation!
to the United Nations.
Elizabeth Calls for Unity
On Economic Problem
GLASGOW, Oct. 30 <7P).—Princess
Elizabeth launched the 30.000-ton !
Cunard liner Caronia at Clydebank;
today with an appeal to her future!
subjects to meet Britain's peace
time economic problems with the
same-spirit of unity they displayed,
during the war.
"We have friends in other parts!
of the world." the Princess said in
an address, "and we know that we
can count on whatever help they
can give, but it cannot be said
too often that a country, like an
individual, must work out its own
salvation at home.
"Our sufferings in the war were!
heavy, indeed, and our losses can-|
not be measured, but the heavy roadj
we trod was not altogether un- :
lighted.
"There was in those years a spirit
abroad which kept us from despond
ency and brightened out darkest
days. It Mas the spirit of unity,
and in our present difficulties we!
must at all costs keep it alive.
For it is only by putting the claims;
of our country above our personal'
feelings that we can win through ί
as surely as we did before."
The Princess was attended by her
husband-to-be, Lt. Philip Mount
batten, and at the beginning of her
address expressed her happiness
that he could be "by my side."
The Caronia, designed to accom
modate 1,000 passengers, is expected j
to cost more than $12,000,000 when
completed.

Soviet Secret Police
Seized Mikolajczyk,
Free Poles Believe
By th· Associated Pre»»
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 30.—Tadeusz
Norwid, Polish author, said today he
and most free Poles in Stockholm
believed Stanislaw Mikolajczyk "has
been abducted by Russian political
police during his trip to Poznan
without knowledge of the Polish
authorities."
Norwid, author of "Country With
Dut a Quisling" and a resident of
Sweden for several years, said the
most important political arrests in
Poland were "still carried out by the
independently operating Russian se
:urity police."
(He declared Mr. Mikolajczyk, who
led the Polish Peasant Party which
opposed the Moscow-sponsored Po
lish government, was "far too im
portant a person for the Russians to
leave to Polish authorities."
Mr. Mikolajczyk and several asso
ciates dropped from sight October
20 after boarding a train for Poz
nan for what Polish officials said
was a visit to his mother.
"It is known that Mikolajczyk
and his friends never arrived in
Poznan," the writer said. "I do
not believe that Mikolajczyk ever
left Poland, nor do other free Poles
In Stockholm believe it."
The Swedish Foreign Office de
nied any knowledge of the where
abouts of Mr. Mikolajczyk.
British Express Concern
For Mikolajczyk's Safety
LONDON, Oct. 30 (Λ>).—British of
ficials said today no word had been
received of the whereabouts of Stan
islaw Mikolajczyk since he disap
peared from Warsaw 11 days age
and they expressed concern for his
safety.
Rumors that the Polish opposition
leader had reached Denmark, Swed
en, the British zone of Germany, or
even that he was on his way to the
United States, all lacked confirma
tion.

Maine Fire Fighters
Take Heart as More
Rain Is Predicted
By the Associated Press
PORTLANp, Me.. Oct. 30.—Ex
hausted Maine took heart from a
(Weather Bureau prediction of "at
least as much more" rain today as
i wet down but failed to conquer the
I State's widespread forest blazes yes
terday.
For two weeks the fires have
spread destruction, taking 15 lives,
levelling 1,100 homes and blackening
200.000 acres of woodland.
Yesterday's rain ranged from l/2
an inch, at Greenville, down to .03
of an inch at Augusta. The Portland
area had a M inch.
Whether it was all natural or
I partly man-made was a moot point.
! Scientists in two B-17s sowed
clouds over New Hampshire with dry
ice, hoping to make it rain in Maine.
Vincent J. Schaeffer, General Elec
tric scientist on the flight, said he
believed the mission "was success
ful."
Results Inconclusive.
Weathermen at Portland were un
able to judge the effect of the d«r
ice technique because rain fell before
and after the aerial rainmakers
started operations.
In any case, there wasn't enough.
"The drizzle * * * hasn't eliminated
the fire menace, but has helped hold
fires in their present 'under control'
status," said Forest Commissioner
Raymond E. Rendall.

communities could meet their fiscal
problems "without the need" of new

ways:
By getting abatement of State,

With the rain came chilly weather
