1 Wednesday, Oct. 31, 1951 DETROIT FREE PRESS Pension Increase for Railroaders Will Start Nov. 1 WASHINGTON (Pensions for retired railroaders go up 15 per cent and benefits to such RELINQUISHES" RIGHTS Miss Davies Reaches Accord on Hearst Corp. NEW YORK (JP) Former Actress Marion Davies and officials of the Hearst Corp. announced that they had settled all matters between them out or court.

The announcement said that Miss Davies, longtime friend of the late publisher, William Randolph Hearst, "has relinquished all rights she may have to act as voting trustee for V7 1 Ex-Chief of Library Dies at 80 Adam Strohm, who as chief librarian from 1912 until his retirement in 1941, built up the Detroit Public Library System, died Tuesday after a heart attack in Asheville, N. C. He was 80. Recognized as the pioneer in the branch library system plan, Detroit's monumental main library was built under his administration. A writer of considerable distinction, Mr.

Strohm was born in Venersborg, Sweden. He came to the United States in 1892. HE WAS educated at the University of Upsala, Sweden, and the University of Illinois. Prior to taking up duties in Detroit, Mr. Strohm served as librarian at the University of Illinois, Royal Couple to Eat Regally in Washington 0 Continued from Pige One tomato soup with sherry, filet of sole with Rhine wine; sweetbreads and mushrooms on toast, with the same wine; turkey with dressing, plus champagne, then a dessert of molded ice cream and cake, and a sweet wine.

FOR ROYALTY, IT APPEARS that a chef must give his all on the dessert course. State dinner tradition requires that the man in charge knock himself out with a spectacular design. In Toronto, the pastry chef whipped out simulated logs, with bark and everything, made with an ice cream core and a cake wrapping. They were carted in with great ceremoney. Nobody lights up at these British dinners until the awesome ceremony at the end when the host rises clears his throat, raises his glass, and a ponderous note of doomsday in his voice, says "To His Majesty, the King." Everybody then drinks the toast, lights a butt, and relaxes.

This round of state dinners for Elizabeth and Philip may sound pretty tough to a commoner who likes to eat in the kitchen, without guests and with a half-gallon of beer instead of six kinds of wine.

Published reports had said that Hearst and Miss Davies had signed an agreement on Nov. 5, 1950, that made them the only two trustees in a voting trust for the corporation's entire stock. The joint statement Tuesday denied reports of dissension between Miss Davies, the voting trustees now serving as such and the Hearst estate." THE STATEMENT said Miss Davies will continue to act as official consultant and adviser to the corporation, her services including advice on motion pictures and other amusement activities." The association between Miss Davies and Hearst dated back to her film career in the 1920s, when she appeared in Hearst-controlled film companies. -She had been the publisher's confidante for many years, and he once credited her with coming to his aid with $1,000,000 of her own money during the depression and saving him from "financial disaster." Published reports said that Hearst owned all 100,000 shares of Hearst Corp.

common stock, and 170,000 shares of preferred stock, with Miss Davies owning 30,000 shares of preferred stock. Ex-Editor Dies TRAVERSE CITY (JP) Le roy H.

BUT IT'S A BIG DEAL for the Princess and her consort to get all the red meat that's coming their way. It would take a long time in London to save up enough ration coupons to give them what they might have for snacks any afternoon in Canada or the United States. Members of the royal family are entitled only to what any other person in Britain gets on his meat ration, which is one shilling tuppence worth per week per person. If you blow this on a good cut, your weekly ration doesn't get you beyond Monday. The British royal family knows how to roll with the wind, and the democratic pretensions of the ruling house are one of its valuable assets with the British workers.

During the blitz in England, there was a water shortage, and citizens were required to hold their bath water down to five inches. King George VI very scrupulously had a five-inch water mark installed in the royal tub at Buckingham Palace.
