(By Michael Goldsmith) LAUBANNE, Switzerland, Jan. 11-fAP)-An aide to former King Michael of Romania said Saturday that Michael's expected marriage to Princess Anne of Bourbon- .P3m1& is off, at least for the im- mediate future. The 24-year-old Princess inter- rupted her journey from Copen- hagen to meet the former mon- lgrcll and announced she was g0- ing instead to Luxembourg. The dramatic denollement to the King's abdication and postpone- ment of the romantic rendezvous “a; explained by Maj. Jacques Vergotti. Michael's spokesman, who said a. love "entanglement" at pre- ‘sent could be used by Romanian Communists to destroy his hopes pf eventually returning to his throne. Most persons in the entourage of ‘the Prince of I-fohenzollern, as 5-year-old Michael now is known. have stressed that he abdicated for "political reasons" and not in "marry the girl he loves." Romanian Communists have ap- peared to be trying to give the impression that Michael was an unstable playboy, following in the footsteps of his father. former King Carol ll’, who once renoun- ced his rights to the throne for romantic reasons. Tho unhappy state of Michael's and Anue‘s love affair was dis- closed when the Danish Princess, looking pale and tired, got off the train at Liege, Belgium. in mid- Journey from Copenhagen to Lauscnne. With l-ler mother, Prin- c055 Margrethe, she transferred to an automobile and said she was going instead to Luxembourg, wllere~ siie- has relatives. “for All

"Dividends payable this month will amount to an esti- mated $52,000,000 compared IIW $34,000,000 for January. 1947."

Mr. Millard said llc is "sure that steelworkers will demand "an im- nlcdiatc full-scale price spread" in- vestlgatlon.

Mr. Show said the present trend showed that many worthwhile crops which were grown by the Island farmer years ago are not now grown or. at best, in negligible
