The duke, who died last month in Fans, had a 17-year relationship with Mrs. Dudley Ward before he met Wallis Warfield Simpson, for whom he Rave up his throne.

Lord Boothby, a close friend of the then Prince of Wales, said that the duke's relationship with Mrs. Ward, wife of a liberal politician, was never known to the public. The revelation of the duke's affair, which ended in 1934, comes in a new biography of the duke by his friend, Frances Donaldson. From the Washington Post. Famous Reporters The delegates and alternates to Miami's Democratic convention in July include stars galore, like Mario Thomas and Shriley MacLaine, for example.

City's Hobby: Watch Flood Other flood stories on 1A, 3A, 9A. The bicgest show In town over the weekend wai river-watching. Hundreds of people who decided to get a once-removed look at the flood waters that were making New York State history lined the bridges within the city yesterday and Saturday to watch the turgid, carmel-colored Genesee racing toward the lake after it had accomplished its flooding mission many miles to the south. Most of the river-watchers were preserving the occasion for posterity; everyone seemed to be armed with a camera, aiming at the raging torrent. "You may never see this again," said Marcia Williston, snapping a picture from the Court Street bridge as a huge elm tree, minus its branches but about 60 feet long, careened over the spillway.

"I sincerely hope not," said another onlooker. Trees, logs, branches and large gobs of bushes and underbrush comprised most of the flotsam. Five-gallon cans swished past now and then, and I saw one small chicken coop, or maybe it was a dog house. The farther downstream the flotsam went, the slower. 1U I pace.

I was on the Broad Street bridge yesterday, along with a couple of hundred other sidewalk superintendents including' County Manager Lucien Morin, Frank Vicaretti of the city -Department of Public Woiks, and deputy parks director Sam Cooper, watching the attack on a monstrous log jam at the eastern end of the bridge. A big T. J. Frederico Co. crane plunged its bucket Into the tangle of logs time and again to work the stuff free, and send lt scudding on down the river.

In the Court Street-Broad Street area, logs shot through the center of the river like arrows fired from a giant bow. By the. time they reached the Stutson Street section, however, they had slowed to an almost casual drifting. You wondered, looking at the muddy expanse of water, dotted with debris, what this does to our half-a-billion dollar Pure Water program if anything?

The newest barrister Chamberlain lives, at 157 Pleasant Way, Penfield, and. like his grandfather and great-grandfather, attended Syracuse University Law School; his dad, Philetus attended Cornell Law. Charles sister, Marjorie, a Wells College graduate, is currently taking law at Syracuse.

Phil Chamberlain and his wife, Caroline, who live at 44 Sunset Pittsford, came home yesterday after three days at their cottage on Keuka Lake where the high water "is fantastic," Phil said.

Speaking 'to the 65th annual meeting of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester, Max Lerner, New York Post syndicated columnist, professor at Brandeis University and author of a dozen books, told about 350 persons at Temple Beth El, "No human being or society, can live without connections outside itself." "We've become too concerned with making a living and not making a life and this has driven our children away," he said. "We've been trying to maintain a sense of community within American affluence and haven't succeeded." Lerner, whose family emigrated from Russia to America in 1907, called for a return to communities of limited growth, not the society without community cohesiveness found in American today. Lerner, who said he had been a "passionate warrior in political battles" as a young man, involving himself with Marxist causes, admitted it had "been easy to make fun of the Jewish community as a young liberal especially with the growth of the suburbs." But today, he said, "We are beginning to get some perspective on the role the Jewish community is playing in America today."

Good Frying Pan Makes Tasty I ortillas The group of seventh and ninth grade girls who form the Spanish club of Spry Junior High School, Webster, watch with y-f "-T-T 6 bated breath as their Spanish teacher, Cheryl Burton, turns the frying pan containing a thick tortilla de patata upside down over a plate, then slides the half-done omelet back into the pan to brown the underside. "In order to make a good tortilla you have to have confidence in your frying pan," says Cheryl Burton. "If the eggs stick then all you have is hash.

You should be able to cut the tortilla in wedges and serve it like a pie." "Before joining the Spanish Club my impression was that Spanish food is "hot" and highly spiced," says Andrea Holla-day, 14. "But I soon learned that it isn't. In fact I do quite a lot of cooking at home and the whole family enjoys Spanish dishes, especially tortilla." This remark brought a murmur of agreement from the other girls. Apparently they have all prepared the dish at home with equal success. What goes into a tortilla? "Mantequilla, cebollas, tozino, papas, huevos the girls answer.

Which all sounds very exotic, but in translation it becomes a simple dish of onions, bacon, potatoes and eggs. "The Spanish Club is an extracurricular activity and it meets every Tuesday after school," says Cheryl Burton, heaping tortilla onto the plates of the hungry. "Besides learning about Spain's life-style and cooking, we have had travel talks and visitors have shown slides. And to raise funds for the club, we have shown movies about Spain," she says.
