BRITISH CABINET
CLOSELY GUARDED
Egyptian Plot on Lives of
Ministers Causes Stir
in London.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 5.-The British
ca binet ministers and many other Off
cials of state went about their duties
today accompanied by bodyguards as
a precaution against violence by
Egyptian sympathizers.
The discovery in Cairo of a plot in
which the prime movers were assert
ed to have been planning outrage
against the British ministers was
communicated to London yesterday
and placed before the cabinet here.
safeguard itself and the others con-
cerned.
Facts Of Plot Meager.
In the official departments to which
the plot was revealed it was stated
today that the facts were meager,
that the exact extent of the plotters'
activities was not known, and that
the bodyguards were being used as
more of precaution than against the
existence OF any imminent danger.
Similar precautions were taken
often during the European war and
the Irish troubles, it Is recalled.
No arrests have been made in Lon
don, but II was said some might be
expected soon.
The Daily Mail says news of the
discovery of the plot was sent to the
foreign office by Lord Allenby, the
high commissioner in Egypt, and that
a special cabinet meeting was imme-
diately summoned.
After the cabinet meeting, the ac-
count continues, Sir William Joyn-
SON. Hicks. the home secretary, sum-
moned. the police chiefs of Scotland
Yard for a conference and specially
experienced officers were assigned to
protect the ministers, while an extra
guard OF armed police was also al
ment building.
Propagarda Held Basis.
According TO the Daily Mail, the
plot grew out of propaganda foment-
ed by the executive branch of the
Egyptian Nationalist organization,
which has emissaries throughout the
continent of England.
The discovery has impressed the
authorities with the necessity of in
creasing the police force of England,
especially In London, which had been
greatly reduced through the econo-
mizing reforms set up by the commit
tee of which Sir Eric Geddes was the
head. Recent disclosures regarding
alien and communist activities in
Great Britain have rendered such an

home secretary, is determined to add

new busses double -deckers If the
commission gives its approval
The company asks permission to
operate the double-deckers from
Fourteenth and Buchanan, west to
Sixteenth street, south to II street,
thence south on Jackson place, be-
tween the White House and the
State, War and Navy Building,
west in back Of the State, War and
Navy Building to Seventeenth

on B street to the Memorial.
It Is already an established
policy in the District government
that double-deck busses will be
permitted only, provided they can
be used without having to trim
any shade trees.
The commission probably will
act on the request for permission
to use the double-deckers on Six

HOOVER ABANDONS
RADIO CURB BILL
Drops Support of Measure for
Full Control by Gov
ernment.

Secretary Hoover has withdrawn his
support from legislation pending IN
Congress for full Federal regulation
of the radio.
In letter today to Chairman White
of the House merchant marine com
mittee, Mr.. Hoover suggested that at
the present time Congress should only
amend the present statutes giving the
Commerce Department a degree of
control over wireless communication
general measure regulating
radio, in the prepare ton of which Mr.
Hoover and the Commerce Depart
ment officials co-operated, ,tNis up on
the House calendar. Its provisions
tied in large degree from radio
conferences held by the department
during the last two years. and Mr..
Hoover strongly urged it's enactment
during the last Congress
He wrote to Chairman White that
the rapid change In the art of radio
communication during recent months
and the probability OF continuous
change in the future made 1t undesir-
able that Federal regulation should
be established at least until the pio-
neering period in radio is over.
Il am inclosing herewith a sugges-
tion of very short bill clarifying the
powers of this department as to radio
regulation as to interference" said Mr.
Hoovcr's letter. 1T does not pretend
to confer complete regulatory author
ity. nor does it cover many matters
which must, sooner or later, receive
legislative attention. 1t is intended
only to enable the department to re-
tain firm control of situation which
is very rapidly changing. in which
there are some elements of danger
If such bill is passed it will give
time for more consideration of the
whole subject.
Sees No Harm in Delay.
THE Short bill proposed will re-
enforce the fundamental situation so
that no public damage can result
from delay, whereas, much public ad-
vantage might result from a further
calrity of our knowledge as to the
application of this new system of
communication. AS you are aware,
there is no monopoly in the. radio
world at the present time, there be-
ing over 500 broadcasting stations of
which not more than four are the

with only limited numbers of
wave lengths and 500 stations-rap-

to the division of time between sta

of wave lengths on the basis of quail

They are worthy of the increase

their capacity for big work. Further
more. they have completed all re-

looking for money, but we know that
