SURPRISE TO VALLEE
Crooner Declares, However, That
Grapefruit Throwers Should
Be Punished.
BY the Associated Press.

SAVANNAH, Ga, January 81
Rudy Vallee expressed surprise last
night that James S. Angler, son of Prof.
Roswell Parker Angler of Yale, was
one of three persons involved in the
hurting of grapefruit in the Metro
polttan Theater at Boston on January
20 while Vallee was on the stage.
81 knew his father well while a stu
dent at Yale. I played at his house
just before graduation" Vallee sail
when found aboard train here EN-
route to Miami and advised Angler had
withdrawn form Harvard by request
after the incident.
They ought to be punished" the
crooner replied when asked If he
thought the act merited dismissal, but
pointed out that he had refused to
prosecute the case.
Nobody was hit" he said. "How-
ever, If one of the grapefruit had struck
my saxaphone it might have knocked
my teeth out"

CHARGE CONSIDERED BLUNDER.
Official Washington Feels Buffers Re-
marks About Duce Uncalled For.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Even if he thought it was true, he
shouldn't have said it,
This is the way oficial Washington
summed UP the case of Maj. Gen.
Smedley Butler Of the United States
Marine Corps VS.. Premier Mus
solini of italy. Those who were
surprised at the promptness with
which the United States Government
apologiZed 10 the Italian government
for the speech of Gen. Butler were re-
minded today that the American Gov
eminent would have expected exactly
as quick an action expressing regrets If
some high off1cer of the Italian Army
or Navy had made reflection on the
character of President Hoover.
While officers of the Army and Navy
here are unhappy over the severity of
the step taken by the Secretary of the
Navy in ordering a court-martial for
an officer who has the distinguished
record of Gen. Butler, it was universal
ly recognized that the gallant Marine
general had made a blunder in speak
ing at all about the head Of a foreign
government. In times of stress Incl
dents of this kind have often led to
serious international friction.
Controversy Around Duce.
It so happens that Signor MuSsolini
is himself a matter of considerable con-
troVerSy inside the United States, and
there are no doubt many groups Of anti
FascistS who feel that Gen. Butler did
not say enough about the Italian die
tator and that the American Govern
ment ought not to be dealing at all with
a government Of the MuSSolini type.
the relations between the Italian gov
eminent and the American Government
are quite cordial and that, while OFF,
cially there is no more sympathy with
Fascism than there is with Communism,
the Italian government does honor its
international obligations and debts.
This is the only test applied in recog-
nizing a government nowadays, for the
official attitude in Washington is to
of an internal administration in any
country.
The United States Is at the moment
very much interested in maintaining
good will in its relations with Premier
Mussolini. The whole problem of the
reduction Of ornaments in Europe de-
ponds to large extent on the Italian
is correSpondingly affected by the pros
Cect of war in Europe.
For the last several months the d.
plomacy Of the United States has been
directed toward smoothing out differ
ences in Europe. and particularly in
trying to persuade Signor MuSSolini to
adopt a less bellicose attitude toward
other states in Europe.
Italy Believed Appeased.
Progress has been made in recent
weeks in this direction, and it is felt
that the radio speech by Premier Mus
Solini on New Year day was a step
looking toward the maintenance of
peace. Under the circumstances the
United States Government decided to
make short shrift of any episode that
might, so to speak, spill the beans"
That's why General Butler was pub
licly reprimanded by the apology ex-
tended to Italy in a formal note, and
there is reason to believe that the
italian government will be much
pleased with the promptness and COM
pleteneSs of the American apology.

QUESTION.
HELD INDIA THREAT.
Press Fears Gandhi! Stand
for Release of Serfs Men,
aces Conferences.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, January 31.-Indian news
papers commenting today on political
issues, express a fear that forthcoming
conferences between Congress party
leaders and delegates returning from
the round table conference may not be
so successful as is hoped.
MAhatma Gandhi and his associates
In the Congress party, meeting at ALA
habad, are saying now that they did not
ask for their own release from prison,
but for the liberation Of midas 81
100000 serfs" They assert they are all
ready to 60 back to jail II that aim is
not achieved.
Unless Gandhi is prepared to call on
his civil disobedience campaign" says
the Calcutta statesman, midas leading
newspaper. I'VE must assume that he
has no wish for peace and the whole
future Of India may be changed by his
attitude"
Gandhi and his associates have ex-
pressed themselves as doubtful that the
real peace can grow out of MacDonald'S
proposals and that little can be expected
from the forthcoming conferences with
round table delegates unless England is
prepared to give India full control over
the army, finances and all branches OF
Indian civil service. They insist also
upon the unconditional release Of the
thousands of political prisoners.
Such general amnesty, however, was
conditional upon an end to the present
peaceful rebellion" and there has been
no indication that the viceroy, in the
absence Of any prospect for successful
outcome Of the approaching conferences,
is likely to grant the general amnesty
which Gandhi seeks.
India, in the meantime, remains in an
extremely anxious state. Business is
getting worse, imports and exports have
touched new low levels and unemploy-
ment is increasing.
