Appeal Dangerous
Sir Musgraye Harvey, deputy
governor Of the Bank OF England,
and several associates visited the
prime minister while this meeting
vas In progress and il was reported
that they discussed what they con-
sidered to be the danger Of an ap-
peal to the people at this time.
The Daily Mail, strong opponent
Of an early election, said that the
bankers told Mr.. MacD Donald that
the emergency government must
remain In office at least two years
in order to avert a disastrous drop
in the exchange and asked him to
issue a statement spiking rumors OF
an election.

Tariff Discussed
Discussion in parliament Hobbies
and in the press showed an increas-
ing conviction that a national

must be formulated and submitted
to the electorate. Conservatives
were Of the opinion that Mr.. Mac
Donald was better fitte to make
an appeal to the country than the
parties but many liberals and labor
ties were opposed to such a view.
1t was generally believed that the

ance of trade and how to restore It
had reported or was about to re-
port and that its findings would
materially influence the prime min
lister in his decision.

FAMILY ROW FOR
 JANE AND TED?
Radios NewIyweds Seem to Have Had a Mis-.
 understanding

Most people will agree that any pair of newlyweds who can go through the first year without a spat are indeed fortunate. But such extreme heights of welded bliss cannot go on forever. And thls sad fact is soon to be made known to Jane nnd Ted Carter, the
 lovable principals in the radio talkies What Happened 10 Jane" Jane and Ted have cndcared them selves to the hearts Of millions. New CT a cross word has passed be- tween them during this, the first year of their married life. Then came the misunderstanding. Jane asks Ted to meet her cousin, Vivian, at the railway station. Ted and Vi- vian have never met. And the description of Vivian which Jane gave to Ted was. fin truth, made quate. But did this stop Ted from accoHing almost every pretty girl In the station to gee if she were the missing Vivian? No. sad to relate. 1t did not--with the result that Ted finds himself in plenty of hot wa ter--and no Vivian.
 A family scrap is in the offing and IT we may judge from Ted's frame of inind there Is going to be q real one. Then Fate takes part in the drama and n very queer part. Ted walks up the pathway to his home. There IA fire in his eyes. He bursts open the door and--it would really spoil the fun of this most entertaining radio talkie if we were to reveal the strange sight that greeted his eyes hs he entered his home. So IL is suggested that radio listeners tune In tomorrow at 5:30 D. m. to hear What Happened 10 Jane" over station WICC, WEAF, WGY or WTAM

Police Lieut.. John Maloney Of the ninth
precinct has been cited to appear be-
fore the Police Trial Board, and prob
ably will be tried at that tribunals

Crosby regarding the alleged attack
after Assistant United. States Attorney

rant upon the photographers complaint
that he had been attacked.
The cameran1an said that Maloney,
escorting man believed by newspaper
men to be the policeman Just ques-
toned by detectives, leaped on Rob-
erts and jammed the camera into his
face cutting his chin.
It was later learned, however, that
and that the of1lcer who had been grill
ed quietly walked of in the excite
ment following the alleged assault.
Commissioner Crosby was in con-
ference with Maj. Pratt when the
newspaper man appeared to complain
to Pratt after he had been refused an
assault warrant by Fitzpatrick. Rob-
erts was told that he could follow two
courses: Seek a warrant at the Dis
trict Attorneys ONCE or file charges
with the Trial Board.
Having been defeated in his quest
for the warrant at Fitzpatrick's ONCE,
Roberts Immediately followed the lat
ter suggestion.
