Leopold Will Abide
By Decision Of
Parliament
r GENEVA, (/P) — Leopold III,
exiled king of the Belgians, has
decided to leave the decision of
his future to Belgium’s Parliament
he announced yesterday.
“Whatever the decision which
Parliament will take and for
which it assumes, in conformity
with the constitution, the entire
and exclusive responsibility, I
will bow to it,” Leopold said in a
statement released by his secre
tary, Jacques Pirenne, at a news
conference.
Leopold, exiled from his home
land since the war, won 57.7 per
cent of the vote in an advisory
referendum last Sunday on whe
ther he should return to his
throne. Many political leaders in
Belgium feel this percentage is far
too small for a King, who is sup
posed to represent unity for his
people.

FDR’s Letters Now
Public Proper! \
HYDE PARK, N. Y. (/P)—Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt kept a
copy of almost every letter he
wrote, and almost every letter he
received after he began his po
litical climb.
Today more than 5,000,000 of
these letters became public pro
perty—a mirror to one of the vi
tal eras of world history.
Brief ceremonies marked the (
event at the Franklin D. Roosevelt
library here. It took two and a half
years to index the papers.
There are letters to Kings and
to high and low-born men whose
names are marked forever in his
tory. And there are humble let
ters the voice of the average
American as he took pen in hand
and wrote to the White House
during Mr. Roosevelt’s 12 years in
office.
About 85 per cent of all the
letters became public property.
The rest were withheld for an
other 25 years.
George Jarris. of the Census
Bureau from the Fairbanks office
arrived Wednesday to interview
those interested in being enum
erators for the Second Division.
He will be located at the City
Clerk’s Office for seevral days.
There’s no reward in life with
out effort.
