CHAMBERLAIN IN POST
OF BALDWIN IS SURPRISE
British Discuss Appointment of
Foreign Minister as
Substitute.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 13.-It was sur
prise to many to hear that Sir Austen
Chamberlain, British Foreign Min
lister. is to be acting Prime Minister
during the absence of Stanley Baldwin
in Canada. Many persons thought,
and indeed it was prematurely an
nounced, that Earl Balfour would fill
the post.
There seems to have been some
foundation for the Balfour theory,
since he is the senior statesman in
every sense Of the word, apart from
official position.
On the other hand, there is the as
sumption that the chancellor of the
exchequer, Mr.. Winston Churchill, is
the natural deputy Of the prime min
lister. It is an assumption fostered by
the fact that as the Foreign Secretary
is generally a peer, he is apt to be
passed over whenever a question of
succession to the premiership arises.
making the chancellor of the excheq-
uer next in line.
There is said to be no doubt that il
Lord Balfour had deputized for Mr..
Baldwin the arrangement would have
p been pleasing to those members Of the
Conservative party who do not wish
to designate any particular minister
as being in line for the premiership.

FAVORS CITIES NAMES
ON ROOFS OF BUILDINGS
MacCracken Says Proposal Would
Be in Keeping With Rapid
Strides of Aviation.

Voluntary marking of the names Of
towns and cities on roofs of tall build
ings, as suggested to the Commerce
Department, would be in keeping with
the rapid strides now being made in
OF her branches of commercial aviation,
William p. MacCracken, Assistant
Secretary in charge OF aeronautics,
said yesterday The suggestion that
municipalities mark their names on
the roofs of tall building to aid avia-
tors flying over them was made by
w. c. Robertson. ir.. of birmingham,
Ala, a civilian flyer. Mr.. Robertson
proposed that the work be done as
a tribute to Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh.
THE suggestion that the work be
undertaken privately as tribute to
Col. Lindbergh Is a most happy one
and am quite certain that Col. Lind.
bergh agrees with Mr.. Robertson and
the rest of US in the Importance of
such work to the development Of COM
mercial aviation" Mr.. MacCracken
said.
The air Secretary was told that Rob-
ertson had several unpleasant expert
ences on recent flight from st. Louis
TO Birmingham. when Robertson was
forced to fly dangerously close to the
ground and to buildings to make out
the names of railroad stations.
