' ¢ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1947 ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE _ PAGE ELEVEN London, Dec. 12.--(AP)--An all- party committee in the House of Commons has recommended a £25,000 ($100,000) increase in the yearly allowance to Princess Eliza- beth, ,-making her'income £40,000, The committee proposed also that £10,000 annually be allowed to Prince Philip, her bridegroom. Shortly before the royal marri- age three weeks ago, the King of- fered to increase Elizabeth's allow- ance by using his own savings. The King built up a $400,000 sur- plus during the war with expense money rof A upfibunclHTRAHTR money for public functions: which could not be held. The committee, which parliament created to consider problems of the heiress-presumptive's purse, made public its report shortly after Buckingham Palace announced that Elizabeth and Philip would return Sunday from their honeymoon, the last part of which was spent in a remote part of Scotland. The committee recommended Princess' Allowance Boost Recommended By $100,000 Annually the allowances of both be subject to income taxes unless the treasury, exercising existing powers, decided to make part of it tax-free because of the couple's expenditures for public duties. The committee commented that the King's savings "would be suf- ficient to pay for the additional provision now proposed for Prin- cess Elizabeth for four years," but did not specifically recommend ac- ceptance or rejection of the offer. The committee recommended that the consideration of provision to be made for children of the marri- age should be deferred until the eldest child becomes 16, unless meanwhile the Princess pre-de- ceases King George VI. Any provis- ion to be made should then be de- cided by parliament in the light of prevailing circumstances. The Duke of Edinburgh will re- port for duty at the Admiralty on Monday to take up his post in the operations division, it was ane nounced. Reject Chambers Appeal; Execution Set For Dec. 16 Ottawa, Dec. 12--(CP)--Mr. Jus- tice R. L. Kellock .of the Surreme Court of Canada Thursday refused a motion for leave to appeal before the court the case of Sydney Cham- bers, 35-year-old St. Catharines sta- tionary engineer convicted of the murder. of Marion Rusnik. The decision left no hope for Chambers to escape hanging Dec. 16, barring an 1lth-hour clemency ruling by the Justice Department. Chambers, in a confession ac- cepted by the court, said he burned the body of 9-year-old Marion Rus- nik in the cannery where he was employed, The incident took place last Dec. 23, and Chambers was twice convicted of the murder charge, the Ontario Appeal Court upholding the second conviction. Chambers' counsel opened appli- cation today for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court on the ground the Ontario Appeal Court's judg- ment conflicted with decisions ren- dered by other courts on the same level. Mr. Justice Kellock reserved judg- ment when the case was heard ear. lier today, and later announced the application had been rejected. Stores Close In Panic Buying CANADA'S GREATEST WATCH VALUE...
