King Orders Pipers To Play Blues Song
BALMORAL CASTLE, SCOTLAND, Sept. 24—<L'.P>—King Edward VIII, on his vacation in Scotland, ordered the nine pipers at Balmoral castle to play "The St. Louis Blues" today to entertain Mrs. Ernest Simpson and his other guests who were forced to SDend most of the day indoors because of rain and high winds.
The wind, adding to the walls of the Scottish bagpipes, made “The St. Louis Blues" really blue.
The king is instructing the Scottish pipers in the mysteries of syncopation. When Edward, as a student, attended Oxford he frequently played the pipes to the dismay of his classmates.
Despite the rain, his majesty, accompanied by his brother, the Duke of Kent, spent several hours today unsuccessfully stalking deer in the vicinity of Loch Muick.
Mrs. Simpson, a former Baltimore, Md.. girl, now married to a London broker, and Mr and Mrs. Herman L. Rogers arrived from London yesterday to be the king's guests.

President Will Open Fight in Three Sections
Cities in Middle-West and Industrial East To Be Stopping Points
High Command Lays Plan*
Roosevelt Is Pleased With Reports Brought by Leaders to N. Y.
HYDE PARK. N. Y„ Sept. 24— (U.P)—President Roosevelt will carry a vigorous re-election offensive into the strong Industrial east, middle-west and the rocky mountain states, it was learned tonight at the conclusion of a survey of the political situation with the Democratic high command.
For an hour and a half the chief executive sat around the conference table of his Hyde Park home while party leaders presented reports on the campaign outlook and he, in turn, set forth hi* ideas for the conduct of the fight in the closing weeks.
Cities of Tour
Mr. Roosevelt, it was understood, plans to speak in Denver, Omaha, Chicago, New York, in New England and in Detroit. Moreover, he has tentatively approved arrangements calling for personal appearances in connection with "non-political" activities in Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The dates for these visits have not yet been fixed but at no time will he be away from Washington more than five days. This means he will not make a trip to the Pacific coast.
*‘A Chowder Party”
Two dozen or more party chieftains gathered at the invitation of the president this afternoon in the library of Hyde Park house, all of them professing they knew nothing of what was to be taken up.
“This Is a chowder party,” one of them laughingly remarked.
James A. Farley, democratic national chairman, acted as the spokesman when the party was all over, and observed:
‘•We had a general discussion of the entire political situation. The president was immensely pleased by the reports from all of those present. We discussed his future activities and in a general way he presented his ideas for the conduct of the campaign for the remaining weeks."
Those Present
Those assembled for the powwow, largest since Mr. Roosevelt's renomination, included Vice-President John N. Gamer. Senators Joseph O'Mahoney. Wyoming; Tom Connally, Texas; Joseph Byrnes, South Carolina; Joseph Guffey, Pennsylvania; Robert P. Wagner, New York; Hugo Black, Alabama; Kenneth McKellar, Tennessee; Representatives Sam Rayburn, Texas; Patrick Brewry, Virginia; John O'Connor. New York.
Some commentators pointed out that the party chieftains, while naturally anxious that the president go to the west coast, felt that the situation there was excellent from the Democratic point of view.

Italy Decides To Remain in League
ROME, Sept. 24—(UP)—Italy has reversed her tentative decision of yesterday to withdraw from the league of nations immediately and will remain ln the league "for the time being,” the United Press was informed tonight.
The informant, who last night said Italy would announce her decision to leave Geneva before noon today, said the problem was studied by Premier Mussolini and his associates throughout today "in the light of the most recent developments" and that a “wait and see policy” was decided upon.
The premier was represented as feeling that "the moral satisfaction” to be gained from remaining ln the league would more than counter balance any setback to Italian foreign policy which league membership may Involve.
Factors causing the overnight change of mind were said to Include: Italy virtually is outside the league already because of her declaration of non-cooperation until the Ethiopian delegates are unseated and she thus has a free hand and eventually may get the satisfaction she desires.
Formal withdrawal from the league now would throw Italy definitely into the Oegman camp, cutting all ties between Rome and Paris and London.
