Despite annoyances caused by odd
noises and bit of fading now and
then on the WRC broadcast, WASH
ingtoa1 programs provided most of
the good entertainment last eve
ming with the Army Band from
wMAL. the Navy Band from WRC
and one or two spots in the May
flower Orchestra program.
The Army Band was driven from
the Capitol Plaza by the rain and
performed in the band auditorium
at the War College, largely for its
radio audience. Second Leader
Thomas F. Darcy was in charge of
the concert and gave an excellent
account of himself and his men.
In the Navy Band concert from
WRC, most of which we elected to
hear through WIZ, there was fine
abandon and great musicianship dis.
played in most of the selections, par.
ticularly in the Beethoven Fifth
SymplNny which Lieut.. Charles Ben
ter and his men interpreted as well
as we've ever heard from concert
band. The high spot of the May
flower performance came at its close
when Eli Emmanuel, 'cellist played
a most elaborate solo with unusually
fine accompaniment on the piano by
Emil Schmidt,
Silas III. Strawn, famous Chicago
lawyer. provided an interesting talk
on the ABC of investments during
the Halsey Stuart program which
he finished just in time to permit
us to hear an exceptionally good
tenor solo from one of the Mich
elm crew through WBAL--an in.
noyation on Michelin programs
which are usually confined to quar-
tet and orchestra. Ernie Hare and
Billy Jones seemed to be at their
best doing Fit soldier duty through
VEAL and the "Slumber Music"
group likewise made especially
good work of an excellent program
in WRC's final hour.

News. Copyright. 1928.
RIGA, April 4.-Leon Trotsky. stormy
petrol of the Soviet revolution. was ''ac-
cidentally" killed more than a week
ago, according to reports emanating to-
day from Moscow.
Feeling inside the country is report
ed to be intense, Trotsky sympathizers
openly wearing mourning arm bands
on the streets OF the Russian capital.
Details Stin Meager.
Details of the incident are extreme
" meager. The stricteSt silence Is
maintained In Official circles, and the
public has heard only the circumstan-
tial story that Trotsky was shot IN the
back while hunting near Vernia, his
latest place of exile. in Turkestan. j.
Embellishments OF the story say tnat
a Young Armenian Communist was re-
sponsible for the fatal accident. In this
connection it IS recalled that elaborate
details we're printed in the ofncial
Soviet newspapers when Trotsky start
ed on his exile. telling how he TOOK
dogs and guns. intending to do -consio-
cradle hunting.
This strengthened the premonition OF
many OF Trotsky's friend that he was
destined to sudden death to relieve the
Stain group of their critic.
Vague reports Of the accident reach
ed MOSCOW on March %. but these were
not accepted Until this week. Trotskys
wife and son accompanied him on his
exile. Others were rigidly excluded from
visiting or communicating with him.

BRITISH STAND PAT
IN EGYPTIAN ROW
Reply Expected to Reiterate
BIuntIy London's Aim to
Keep Troops There.
Nv the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 4s-The British gov
ernment remains firm In Its decision TO
maintain British troops In Egypt ana
win reject any claim from the Egyptian
government for their withdrawal.
After the failure of negotiations for
an Anglo Egyptian treaty. the British
government announced that II would re-
vert to the status OF the 1922 declara-
tlon. This declaration terminated the
British protectorate over Egypt making
that country an independent sovereign
state, with Great Britain reserving to Its
discretion the security of the communi-
cations OF the British empire In Egypt,
protection Of foreign residents and mi
norities and defense Of Egypt against
foreign aggression.
British Stand Unchanged.
The recent Egyptian note. which is
understood to state willingness OF the
Egyptian government to secure the
safety OF foreigners. has not altered the
British position.
In Cairo, Premier Nahaz Pasha said
TO newspaper correspondents;
In our note 10 Great Britain We have
striven on the one side To uphold our
country's rights, and on the other to
maintain unimpaired our friendly re-
lations with Great Britain,
No Break Foreseen.
This was taken In London to mean
that Egypt would make no attempt to
sever relations, The Egyptian note has
not been made public, but Sir William
Joynson- Hicks, home secretary. said In
a speech at Manchester last night:
1T Is true we have received q some-
what foolish dispatch from the Egyptian
government But ask you to put your
faith In his majesty's government and
realize that this dispatch will mean no
change in British policy. A reply TO
the Egyptian government will be made
shortly"
New Note 10 Cairo.
The government had sent instructions
to Lord Lloyd In Egypt regarding the
tenor OF the British reply 10 the latest
Egyptian note. II Is thought in official
circles that this may remove any mis-
conceptions there may have been In
the minds of Egyptian officials regarding
the position between the two countries
under the declaration Of 1922,
sir Austen Chamberlain. foreign Sec
retary. made the statement In the
House Of Commons today that no nego-
titions were In progress with the Egyp-
tian government. Lord Lloyd. British
high commissioner. had been instruct.
ed 10 deliver reply to the note re-
Gently presented TO him by the Egyp-
tian premier. and Sir Austen hoped
that the two notes would be published
tomorrow.
