FEARS RED REVOLUTION Queen Gets Five Damp Smacks TORONTO, May 22 U.B-- The Dlonne quintuplets saluted Queen Elizabeth today with five moist kisses in one of the strangest audiences ever granted by British monarchs. The Queen, forgetting royal custom and tradition, leaned over and put her arms around eacV of the Dionne children and kissed them back. The audience took place in the drawing room of the lieutenant governor's quarters in the parliament building. The quintuplets were dressed in ankle-length court dresses of white and wore little white poke bonnets. R- DaFoe, physician and guardian of the quints, came to the royal audience fearing that at least one of the little girls would stand on her" head, seize the King's gloves, or otherwise behave as five year old children do.

He could have forgotten his worries. The Quints did swell. They had been carefully schooled In the technique of making curtsies, but no one had anticipated they would put their arms around the Queen's neck and kiss her. That was their own idea. They walked up to the Queen, put their arms around her neck and, one by one, kissed her.

Persons in the room said the Queen was deeply touched by that and swiftly kneeled and kissed each of the children. King George VI of Great Britain and the dominions beyond the seas, was the forgotten man in the midst of all this feminine affection. Yvonne Dlonne decided she would fix up that situation. She ran away from the Queen and went to where the King was standing. Without so much as a "by your leave, sire." she took hold of his hand and grinned at him.

The King stooped over and whispered something to Yvonne. Then they both laughed their heads off at their private joke. Marie Dlonne decided that her sister was having too much fun with the tall man in the blue sailor suit, so she ambled over and handed the King a small bouquet. The rest of the quinta their bouquets to the Queen. The 19-minute ceremony opened with all the quints standing in line.

Dr. DaFoe, wearing formal morning attire that seemed a little tight in the seams, presented the children one by one. Each stepped -forward, put her right foot behind her left and made a neat, curtsey. Once that formality was out of the way the took charge of the situation themselves. Ceclle was the first one to think up the idea of kissing the queen.

She just walked across the room and did It. As soon as her sisters saw what was happening they, too, were thronging around the queen, scrambling to see which one could kiss her first. The queen loved It. The king and queen will carry back to London with them five mementoes of this visit. Each of the quints gave them an autographed photograph with their names scrawled on them In large childish letters.

In turn, the king and queen gave each of the quints little blue reefer coats and announced they were gifts from Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret who are waiting eagerly in London for news of the Dlomies. For a time it seemed thai Olivia Dionne and his wife were to be Ignored in all the excitement over the quints, but they, too, were presented to the king; and queen. The queen and Mrs. Dlonne conversed In French and they discussed a subject all women like to talk about--their children. The queen told Mrs.

Dlonne about the two princesses In London. The quintuplets, lugging dolls, toy rabbits, teddy bears and monkeys, rolled Into Toronto on a special tram. It was the first time they had ever rUiden on any vehicle other than the scooters and tricycles of their Callander nursery. It had been an exciting 1 night for the Dionnes and It was necessary to slow the train down no they could get to sleep. They were up at 6 o'clorJc this morning and put on blue and white bath robes over (heir pink pajamas and had breakfast of orange juice, boiled eggs, brown bread, toast and milk.

Besides the quints, there were eight other Dionnes on board the "Quinland" the special trr.in has been named. Olivia Dlonne, father of the quins, appeared in a sleek new suit and Mrs. Dlonne had a new dress for the occasion. The six older Dlonne children --Ernest, 12; Daniel, Rose, 11; Theresa, 10; Olivia, 2, and Pauline. 5--were almost as excited by the prospect of meeting the king and.

queen as were the quints. BOSS PENDERGAST GETS PRISON TERM KANSAS CITY, May 22. Tom Pendergast, dethroned political boss, plead ed guilty today to evading taxes on $443,550 and was sentenced to a a a three months in prison. Federal Judge Merrill E. Otis lentenced the political leader to One year and three months on the first count of an Indictment charg- fln? he dodged taxes in 1935 and 1933.

On the second count the ju Sentenced Pendergast to probation jfor three a and fined him $10,000. The stern-Jawed Pendergast, one bf the lew remaining old line politl fcal bosses in the nation, looked on jgllently as'his attorney, John Madden, stepped forward before Federal Judge Merrill OUs and Bald his client desired to plead guilty to tax evasions for 1935 and 2B36. Pendergast, charged with tax ETasion on money received as payoff In fl state insurance deal Bnd on income derived through "'straw men" in his business firms, threw himself on the mercy of the federal court after pleading guilty to nil charges. Judge Otis called for medical testimony concerning 66-year-old Fendergast's physical condition and for pleas by both (he government and the boas' attorneys before passing' sentence. U.

S. District Attorney Maurice Mittigan, who first started ripping holes in the machine by exposing vote frauds in 1936, charged bluntly In his arguments that Pendergast sold his political influence fftr money. Never before had that charge been made in open court. Million disclosed for the first time that the boss was promised to bring about the 1935 settlement of a $9,500,000 state fire insurance rate case in which the bulk of the money was awarded to insurance companies and agents. Pendergast's machine at that time dominated state government.

The 5750,000 payment was not completed, however, MHHgan explained, because of thR death of Charles R. Street of Chicago, representative of (he fire Insurance companies, who collected the money and negotiated the deal with Pendergast. Milligan said a total of $440,000 was paid, of which Pendergast got $315.000, and that the payoff man was A. L. McCormack, of St.

Louis, then president of the Missouri Insurance Agents Association. The prosecutor declared Pendergast has "obstructed justice and suborned perjury" and was "guilty of a most flagrant contempt" in procuring R. Emmett O'Malley, a co-defendant, and former state Insurance superintendent "to palm off a fraudulent and corrupt settlement of the fire insurance rate litigation on this court as an untainted and legitimate one." O'MaHey, also under Indictment on income tax charges, has been accused by Milligan of getting $62,500 of the payoff while holding his state office. The district attorney added, however, "There will be no further prosecution against the defendant (Penderftaot) for these additional offenses."

Rep. W. N.

Corry of Keller offered the amendment to kill the bill by striking out its enacting clause. He said it was "not desired by the man who champions the old people in Texas." Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel has supported a sales tax constitutional amendment. The Tarrant County legislator also said that he did not believe the bill "is in the best interests of the old people" and would "retard and delay" solution of the pension problem, The Senate, he said, had refused to consider any tax bill and this morning reiterated a preference for the sales tax constitutional amendment.

The omnibus bill, Corry charged, was supported by persons who are 'not friends of the old people," The revenue will be "insufficient and inequitable," he also alleged, and is "based on bad policy."

"The tourists are coming from all over the world," Mrs. Amacker said.

Many of the tourists from foreign countries are buying cars upon arrival and crossing the continent. "The tourist business looks good, especially on Highway C6. That route is ahead of the others through the Panhandle at present, but travel is increasing on the other highways. Go to any filling station near the highways any hour of the day and you likely will see cars from many At one time Saturday evening there were 14 cars from as many states ai ine station at Sixth Avenue and Fillmore Street. The State Highway Department estimated today that 75 per cent of the cars on Highway 66 were from out of state.

W. B. Amacker, manager of the AAA Automobile Association in Amarillo. "You surely have a fine government," remarked the foreign tourist. "We'd like to borrow it awhile." "And we want to keep it," replied Mrs.

Amacker. Mrs. Amacker Is busy these days directing tourists and discounting for the visitors' peace of mind the stories of the blood, thunder and shooting hardware of the wild and woolly West. Despite the spine-chilling yarns of wild Indians, shaggy buffalo bulls and six-gun-toting cowhands, foreign and eastern and western gold is rolling Into Amarillo and the Panhandle on rubber tires. The tourist business is booming, and Indications point to a banner year in the Panhandle.

Today or any day automobiles bring people from all over the world through Amarillo. Within the past few days people from England, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia and many other countries stopped at the AAA headquarters at the Herring Hotel.

Amacker said many of the foreigners, and no few of the Easterners, have some pretty wild eyes about the reported wilaness of Texas.

Because a former teacher at New Mexico Military Institute used a certain pen name, an Amarilloan decfded It would be all right to sign the same pen name to a letter and enter the letter 'In a recent Globe contest on "What I Would Do I Were Editor of the Globe-News."
