LONDON, April Disagreement
on the ~so-called contingency clause

United States, Great Britain and

The British spokesman announced
the delegates expect to finish draft

The contingency clause is a COM
promise clause under which any ma
ton, threatened by attack. may in

set by the parley, upon notifying the
other powers.
The new clause eliminates any
suggestion of a consultative pact"

The new proposals provide that II

notify the other signatories Of her

BOMBAY, India, April 16.-The
campaign of civil disobedience
which the Mahatma M. K. Gandhi,
inaugurated on-.a muddy beach at
Dandi less than two weeks ago
threatened to become a crusade of
violence and bloodshed today, with
sporadic outbreaks from the Bay of
Bengal to the Arabian sea.
Although Gandhi urged only pas
sive resistance" in the campaign
for independence, demonstrations
against British authority at CAL
cutta, Bombay, Allahabad and
Karachi developed into rioting or
threatened momentarily to burst
into violent conflict.
Fighting was worst in the streets
of Calcutta, where approximately
eighty persons, including nine Euro
pean officials, were injured in riots
growing out of protests against the
Imprisonment of Mayor j. M. Sen
Gupta. a Gandhi supporter.
Indian troops we're added to
police defenses at Karachi today to
end rioting which broke up during
the trial of leaders of the national
congress for violation Of the salt
laws.
One person was fatally wounded,
even others, including two Euro
pean military sergeants, were seri-
ously hurt, and twenty-six were in
jured in the fighting which was
quelled only after the guards had
fired on a mob which stormed the
court room.

Olga Edwards Wine in Duel
With State Attorney as
Defense Rests.
FAMILY PROUD OF HER
viii Appointed Magnate as
Guardian of Disputed
Baby Boy.

Br Tuited Prcss
NEW YORK, April 16.-Olga Ed
wards, 34-year-old actress, today
underwent further cross-examina-
tion at her trial on charges Of ex-
tortion preferred by Nathan Leo
Amster. traction magnate.
Although Miss Edwards appeared
tired, she not only was able to
withstand the fire Of questions of
Richard Gibbs, assistant district at
torney, but was able to add new de-
tails to her story of her affair with
Amster.
When she completed her testi-
mony, the defense rested and the
state began rebuttal testimony.
1t appeared that the case might
90 to the jury of married men in
Judge RoSalsky's general sessions
court before nightfall.
In today's testimony Miss Ed
wards enlarged upon her earlier in
situation that the flnancier was
friendly with Lyle Stackpole, noted
actress, and she dramatically turned
to her own advantage her cross
examiners questions concerning her
relations with her parents.
The witness testified that she
FIRST knew Of AmSter's interest in
Miss Stackpole" at lifetime she had
prepared a will naming Amster the
guardian of her son Lee. s. whose
father, she claims, is Amster. =.
G. " NIL IL
I knew it-he told me-" she said
Of the affair when asked if she just
surmised it.
That was at the time you drew
this will?"
Naturally. I wanted his father to
take care of him."
Even after you knew his rela-
tons with Miss Stackpole?"
Il only knew he would take Won
derful care of the boy"
Miss Edwards then was taken over
her testimony of Tuesday in re-
gard to the various amounts Of
money given her by Amster. when
Gibbs suddenly shifted his line of
attack.
Isn't It a fact" he asked, that
your family disowned you ten years
ago2"
L don't think So" she replied.
with a warm smile.
Father Proud of Her
My father is very fond of me,
and my mother is here now. Other
wise, I don't think I could have gone
through this horrible ordeal.
1T has been an ordeal for you
them"
1T has been for me to go through
the past five months" she replied.
Miss Edwards was called upon to
give a detailed account of how she
spent the $500 a month that was
paid her from the 100000 trust
fund Amster created and later with
drew because he said she violated its
provision by annoying him and de-
handing O money.
SIS a Day Room
She admitted having paid sl3 a
day for a hotel room. but excused
that on the gorund that Amster "al-
ways wanted me to stay at eXpen-
Sive places"
Gibbs tried to get Miss Edwards
to admit that she had asked AmSter
TO increase the allowance to $1,000
a month.
Miss Edwards insisted that the
proposal originated with Amster.
and that prior to her arrest in
November of last year, she brought
UP the matter again only to have
Amster tell her he could not afford
it. Whereupon. she added. the sub
iect was dropped.
