Macdonald and his daughter, Ishbel,
landed back in London today. right
in the center of political tempest
which threatened tonight to develop
into the first crisis the Labor party
has faced since taking over the gov
ernment.
Within an hour after his arrival,
the prime minister was presiding
over a full cabinet meeting at 10
Downing St., to consider the situa.
ton created by yesterdays an.
nouncement by Lord Irwin, viceroy
Of India, that the labor movement
was committed to granting fun
dominion status to India.
SEEKS PACT FIRST
Although no statement was issued
at the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting, it is understood Macdonald

American naval agreement ratified
before facing the danger OF ar ad-

The Prime Minister looked tired
worn and worried. The reception
ceremonies over, the party left for
Downing Street, where a small
crowd again gathered.
FACE DUAL BURDENS
The precarious political situation
Macdonald faces is due to two fac.
tors, which may either make or
break the Labor Government. They
are:
1.-The Governments declara-
ton for full dominion status for
India.
THE deadlock between the
coal miners and the operators.
with neither side satisfied with
Government proposals.
The Indian situation developed
overnight is most grave, and re-
suited from a statement, issued at
Delhi yesterday. by the Viceroy,
Lord Irwin.

he discovered that @Sefgt. A. c. Belt,
of the Fourteenth precinct, had tag.
ged his car for alleged dark lights
while the vehicle was parked in
front Of his home, 2S07 Connecticut
Ave.
This was the second such card
Allen had received this week, and
the eleventh occasion on which
some member of the Police Depart
ment had tagged" his car. He said
he would appear in court today and
inform the judge that his lights
were burning when he parked the
car at the curb, and IL they were
dark when the tags were put on, his
enemies must have extinguished
them.
1t became known yesterday that
Senator Watson OF Indiana, who is
an admirer of Captain Doyle, used
his offices to have the charges
of insubordlnation and disrespect
against him dropped by Major Pratt,
but a difference over the wording of
a letter caused the failure of nego-
tiations. -
BRIDE GIVES VERSION
According to William w. Bride,
corporation counsel, one of Doyle's
attorneys made the first overtures
for quashing the charges. Later both
of Doyle's lawyers visited Brides
office and framed a letter stating
that Doyle meant no disrespect tor
Pratt when he wrote that 1.-The Po.
lice Department as q whole should
forget it's anmosity toward Private
Allen"
Bride revealed that he refused to
agree to accept the letter because
it did not contain an apology and
expression Of regret for the use of
the language in criticism Of the en-
tire Police Department.
Inspector Albert S. Headley said
yesterday he is still investigating
the escape of WilbGr William Hand,
alleged bank robber, from a Fifth
precinct cell "and any possible con-
nection a member or members of
the Police Department may have
had with it." For the past several
days, it became known, he has been
investigating the receipt Of a tele-
gram by the prisoner from his
brother giving a location and time
which may have played a part in
the escape from Washington.
