THALE Chirac Oally Nrwt Forriga Servle LISBON, Portugal The Iberian peninsula of southwestern Europe is a happy hunting ground these days for kings without thrones. Ex-King Humbert of Italy has arrived in Portugal and is currently getting established in an old palace some 40 miles from Lisbon.

The palace had been unoccupied and shuttered before Humbert moved in with his family and personal retinue of about 20, who followed him into exile after his country went Republican last month. THE PALACE has been offered for his use by the Mar-quesa do Cadaval, member of an illustrious family of Portuguese nobility. The Marquesa is the daughter of the Italian-born Marchioness do Cadaval, now living in Padua, Italy. A few days after he arrived, Humbert lunched with another displaced monarch, Don Juan of Bourbon. Don Juan is the pretender to the Spanish throne.

He is hopeful that some shifting political wind of fortune may some day bring him to the throne his father once occupied. PRINCE Duarte Nuno de Braganza, pretender of the Portugueses roya 1 house, is rumored to have been in Lisbon briefly during the past few days. He, reportedly, is en route to Madrid to visit another king without a throne, the count of Paris. The count is the pretender of the French royal house. The Portuguese pretender's brief stop, en route from Paris, necessarily was not revealed officially.

The Portuguese mon-archy fell some 35 years ago. THE FIRST flurry over Humbert's arrival here subsided quickly. Lisbon papers now rarely mention his activities. The former monarch has avoided granting any interviews, possibly in deference to the feelings of officials of the country which has offered him a haven. There has been considerable speculation here whether Humbert and his family will go to Cairo to join his father, former King Victor Emanuel, whom he succeeded to the Italian throne for one month.

A-Bomb (Continued From Page One) Ninety per cent of the animals on the ABLE day target ships are still alive, it was announced today. THE TEST killed 300 of the S.101 rats. 10 of the 150 pigs, and 10 of the 150 goats on the 73 target ships. Col. Stafford Warren, chief radiological officer, and medical cniers or me expedition unanimous- ly emphasized that lingering effects of exposure to radiation probably will bring mortality figures much higher, and urged that judgment be restrained until the final score is revealed.

"Bloody Thursday" was set aside by CIO officials Friends said Thompson was waiting "nearby" and would soon be reunited with the children and their excited, happy mother. They also said that Miss Carpenter and Thompson would marry within a week, fulfilling their determination that had been frustrated for two and a half years by the refusal of Thompson's wife to give him a divorce.

AN HOI'R and 53 minutes after their transatlantic plane landed, Miss Carpenter and the children, Madelene, Maureen and Michael, were taken from the airport in a taxicab to meet Thompson at an undisclosed rendezvous. Miss Carpenter was nervous and her temper short. She had agreed to talk briefly with reporters but became upset when photographers snapped numerous pictures as she and the children walked from the customs office. Reporters attempted to intercept her as she walked toward the dining room. "Have a nice trip?" one asked.

"Fine trip, thank you," she said in a tense, sharp voice. "Are you glad to be here? "Certainly." SHE AS tired and nervous. A hostess said she had not eaten any solid food during the entire trip. The children, who were described as "good kids." by hostesses, became restive while waiting for customs agents to Inspect their baggage, and began crying. When Miss Carpenter reached the dining room, she lost control.

The Homeowners and Rental league was expected to send representatives to the session tonight but none, of their spokesmen could be reached on what their position is. Meanwhile, tenants and labor groups in Akron watched the muddled rent situation closely.

Hundreds of telephone calls during the last week to the municipal court clerk's office Indicated that landlords will start to day, the end of the three-day notice period which must precede eviction actions, to file court suits to overcome "forceful detentions." This means, according to Frank Yacobucci, assignment commis sioner in the clerk's office, that landlords will seek to havs tenants removed by court order. LAST WKEK, a total of 18 eviction actions were filed. But all of these had been started before the death of OPA. First of these cases Is to be heard Monday, Yacobucci said. He added that tha first of actions filed today will be set for hearing at the end of five days, or next Tuesday.

The OFA rent control office, which is getting about 80 complaints dally against rent Increases and evictions, Is watching the court cases. Governor Lausche today announced postponement until Monday of a conference to discuss possible state rent control. As cattle and hogs poured into midwest terminals, agriculture department officials said meat supplies probably would increase in about a week. THE AMERICAN Meat Institute, spokesman for the packing Industry, said "prices are expected to seek competitive levels which will narrow the 12 cents a pound gap between the fictional OPA celling prices, at which average consumers have been able to get little or no meat at all, and the actual cost of meat to consumers who could find it." Even poultry and eggs havs not jumped excessively, despite the heavier buying of these products to take np the slack In the meat supply. Although poultry feed has advanced M) rents and more per 100 pounds, and is scarce at any price, local poultry dealers today said that poultry and egg prices are little, if any, higher.

Chickens were selling at prices ranging from 45 cents to 64 cents per pound in markets checked, while eRg prices ranged from 45 tents to 51 cents. THERE HWE been no chatiRes Vn bread or milk prices. While butter remained very scarre, ice cream which dairymen point out Is a food remained plentiful, and at no change in price. Itespile reports of spotty food price increases, surveys showed that textile goods, such as clothing and dry goods, generally had been held at their old levels. Through the Akron Merchants association, local stores today had pledged support to Slusser's appeal to maintain reasonable price levels.

"Following a canvass of leading Stores, many of whom have publicly expressed their intention. I feci confident that no advantage will be taken of the price situation," wrote A. C. Hutchinson, secretary of the association. "OFB SURVEY reveals that no ehange in price policy is contemplated in major Akron stores unless or until it is forced by market conditions.

We appreciate that this is no time to discontinue our established policy of fair dealings which insures the ultimate of prosperity of our city." Hutchinson concluded. The Akron Builders Exchange also pledged support of the mayor's hold-the-llne program.
