j retreat tonight for King George VI
and his queen—weary but happy
ovci the tremendous day-long ova-

After a swift drive up the Hud-

j rain, the royal couple turned into
I the president's quiet estate at 5:45

be greeted onre again by Mr. and

was through with its engagement

was crowded with cheering thou-

party sped upstate, mainly because
of the downpouring rain.
Informal Itestfiilnrss Found
Within the century-old home of
the president, the royal couple
found quiet, and an informal rest-
fulness. The 84-year-old mother of
the president was there, too. to
extend her cordial greetings to the
rulers of the world's most far-flung
empire.
In the cool study of the stone
house with ivy clambering over its
walls, president and king had their
first chance to speak of more than
pleasantries.
Mr. Roosevelt already had ui-
dictated that he and the king prob-
ably would touch on international
