Freshmen Congressmen were worrying over a mathematical problem today will the King and Queen of England havetime to greet all the 531 members of Congress in the 45 minutes they will spend at the capitol?

Just how fast the King (md Queen can greet the lawmakers is the puzzler. If they offer their hands, it probably will take longer than if the Senators and Representatives merely bow on presentation.

(By A. Police in launches and aboard the German liner Saint Luis kept close guard today at the request of the captain who feared a series of suicide attempts among 917 German Jewish passengers denied entrance to Cuba.

The passenger refugees were to start back to Germany this afternoon, unless a last minute decision permitted their immigration here. The ship's representative was instructed to deliver a memorandum signed by women and chil- dren aboard the Saint Luis to the wife of President Federico Laredo Bru, requesting her aid in seeking permission for all to land. One refugee slashed his wrists and jumped overboard Tuesday. He was rescued, but Captain Gus-tav Schrocder informed authorities -he feared a "collective suicide pact" was being considered and declared that a "state of mutiny" might result if he were forced to take the Jews back to Germany, They were refused permission to land when they could not show Cuban consular visas, passports arid Cuban labor department permits. They carried only provisional permits of the immigration department to land as travelers enroute to the United States where they hoped to gain admission later.
