 FRIENDLY ENEMIES
Son Of Former British Premier
 Deserts Fathers Party

London. April o5.-Whatever pol ltlcal clash may como when the senior and junior Baldwins finally meet in the House of Commons, the father and son engage in the most friendly and casual exchange O. ideas outside the parliamentary chambers.
 They are to be found quite reg ularly .in the. "chess room" of the British House of Commons, place denied to any and all visitors. It's q. room where voices generally drop to whispers :. as the various house members discuss the mat ters of state.
