James F. Byrnes of South Carolina said today that Southern Democrats must make it plain to the leaders of all political parties that their electoral votes no longer can be taken for granted. “We want to remain in the house of our fathers but we are not will ing to be treated as step-children,” Byrnes told a joint session of the Georgia General Assembly. FAVORS RUSSELL The former secretary of state, Supreme Court justice and “assist ant president” told the Georgia legislators he will “do all in my pow»r” to elect Georgia’s Sen. Richard B. Russell President if Russell seeks the Democratic nom ination. Democrats in the South, Byrnes said,' have remained loyal tp the national Democratic Party in the past “when it seemed all others had fled.” They did so, he said, because that party remained loyal to “the priciples upon which our govern ment was established and the Dem- Record Editor | (Continued from page one) , ed in London, we came to realize just how England worships her | royal family. We never knew be- ’ fore to what degree of esteem a country could hold her ruler. The British will “cuss” the Prime 1 Minister and any other official. 1 But no Britisher would think of ■ raising a voice of criticim against ' any member of the royal family. 1 Not that they- couldn’t—they slm- : ply love the royal family and don’t want to. 1 Anything the King or Queen does is news on the Island of Britain. Once in a while, the King will, stop and chat with a policeman—' or a bobby, as they call them. The ] next day that bobby’s picture will) appear in all the papers. It was during the war that Carl i Fitchett, Jr., came into London on! a pass and we went to the theatre j to see Irvin Berlin making a per sonal appearance with ‘‘This Is > The Army.” Lady Iris Mountbatten. cousin of the King, gave the wel come. It so happened that on the pre- j vious afternoon the King and Queen and two princesses had attended the show. We got quite a kick out of hearing the British seated around us com menting. "THE KING SAT THERE” “Tta King sat in that chair thenC” mm perron would point out. “Yes, and the Princess sat right there,” another would point out. I must go down after the show and see where my little Princess sat.” “I do wish we had khown when they were coming,” sighed a woman right behind us. I’d have given •most anything I own Just to get a glimpse of them.” The closest we got to the royal family In England was to be in the same hotel one day when the Queen . was having luncheon there. We had been having luncheon , with an old friend, E. C. Daniel, Jr., of The New York Times, form erly of Dunn, at the regal old Can nought Hotel. As we; came out, we saw a crowd gathered around on the other side of the hotel. GATHER ABOUT CARRIAGE It was then we learned that the Queen was attending a private lun cheon Inside. Hundreds had gath ered just to have a look at the royal carriage. . All Americans, accustomed to say ing anything we please about our officials, are impressed with the rev erent feeling the British have to ward their royal family. Mr. and Mrs. John Alien Mc- Leod, 8r„ of Dunn were in Can ada during the past summer when Princess Elizabeth and the Duke : of Edinburgh were there. They got a good, close-up look at the royal couple. In telling about it upon his return. Mr. McLeod, too, was impressed with comments of the British sub jects.

SOUTH IS MINORITY “To those whose hearts bleed for minorities, we say that the Demo crats of the South constitute the| largest minority in this country. It is the only minority with a large number of votes that is utterly ignored. “We must let them know that we place the welfare of our country above the welfare of any polit ical party or any political candi date. “For the Democrats of the South this may be the last stand.

THREE LIVING QUEENS Queen Elizabeth became today the first female sovereign of Great Brit ain since Queen Victoria, and the fourth British monarch since 1936. Her ascension to the throne gave Britain three living queens—the new sovereign, her mother Queen . Eliz abeth and Queen Mary, the late King George Vi’s mother. _ England alwas has flourished 'in* der female sovereigns. Queen Elizt abeth stopped the Spaniards in I the 16th century; Queen Anne was - on the throne when Scotland and England were united in 1707; and under Queen Victoria the British empire was established. ** Elizabeth becomes queen whfti the fortunes of the British are at a low ebb, in contrast to the day when her illustrious predecessor Queen Victoria, ascended the throne. Then the Hag of the British em pire and the mark of its influ ! ence followed the sun around tKe world. ■ a The new queen has been train ed all her life for the job wKicfl puts her at the head of a vast em pire whose fate may be at stake. ORDINARY GIRL In some respects, Elizabeth’s life has been like that of an ordinary girl. Once, she was caught with jam on her face, emerging from the kitchen. “Papa”—the future king of Britain—spanked her. She liked riding and swimming and outdoor sports. Shq learned to play the piano and mastered French fluently—which endeared her to the French during a visit there a few years ago. Elizabeth was a Girl Guide, then a Ranger. During the war she lived on short rations and work ; ed on trucks as a member of the Auxiliary Territorial Service. >t .‘ But Elizabeth never forgot— and let no one let her forget— that she was a member of the royal faring, destined someday to be quaen. She was still little “Lilibrt" when old King George V lay dj&V and sent for her to cheer him up. She was not quite 10 whert he died in 1936. Elizabeth only once met the American woman whose love for Edward VIII was to put her, Eliza beth, on the throne. It was a strain ed meeting when “Uncle David” brought Mrs. Wallis Simproa *to meet her father, “Bertie.” Then Edward ! abdicated (and George VI was king. Elizabeth, at . 1, became heiress presumptive, lh April the new queen will be 28. When her lather became king the family moved to Buckingham Palace and Elizabeth began her : Raining to be a queen.
