ANCLO-AMERICAN
RELATIONS SHOW
RADICAL CHANGES
Strain Noticed In DiplO-
matte Circles Because
Of Recent Events.
BY HERBERT MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. 13. = Anglo-Am-
ercan relations, after period of
exceptional closeness, again have
begun to separate just when it
seemed that the earlier cooperation
was about to bear fruit in the form
of joint disarmament policy di-
rected toward early concrete results
at Geneva.
What has happened to bring this
change about, many persons on
both sides of the Atlantic are ask
ing.
In the bare space of 10 days,
three important events for which
Britain was chiefly, or entirely re-
sponsible, occurred in the European
sphere which, despite emphatic Of
ficial explanations to the contrary,
were susceptible of being construed
as potentially anti-American."
Firstly, at Lausanne Britain,
France, Italy and Belgium initialled
the famous 'Gentlemen's Agree
ment" making their ratification of
the Lausanne Preparations settle
ment conditinal on satisfactory
settlement" being given to them by
the United States in regard to their
war debts.
Secondly, in London, Stanley
Baldwin announced Britain's coun-
ter-proposals ostensibly designed tc
realize more disarmament than
President Hoover's one-third all
around reduction, but regarded by
some as equivalent to "torpedoing
the Hoover plan, if they should be-
come accepted.
Thirdly, in London, Foreign Min
lister John Simon announced "T'he
Anglo-French Declaration" equiv
alent to entente, the first two
points of which, even if not aimed
at Washington, are capable OF
bringing about a United Front
| against the United States.
| Quick Succession
Coming in quick succession these
three developments aroused sus-
picion in Washington and caused
Winston Churchill and Lloyd George
to unlooSe strong attack on the
governments conduct at Lausanne.
While Washington appears to be
perplexed and American observers
here make no attempt to concea
their annoyance and suspicion, the
reason for this drift away from the
Stimson- Simon rapprochement Il
not hard to find, although it may
not seem adequate to everyone.
There has been no cooling of the
traditional friendship, but British
diplomacy has taken new tack,
because the winds of international
events are blowing in different
direction. According to subtle re-
mark made to the United Press by
well-informed source:
Britain has decided that, to
reach Washington. it must sail in
the opposite direction"

Jury Trial For
Drainage Suit

That evidence in the $4,000 dam
age suit of F. w. Greer against the
Imperial Irrigation District for as
serted flooding of property on the
shores of Salton Sea probably will
be heard by a jury was indicated
yesterday afternoon when attorneys
for the district filed a demand for
jury trial.
Charles L. Childers and D. B
Roberts, attorneys for the irrigation
district. prepared the demand for a
jury trial. These suits, or suits OF
like nature, usually are heard
without a jury.
Greer's' suit seeks damages be-
cause, according to his complaint,
the district has allowed drainage
water to raise the level of the Sal
ton Sea, flooding property on its
shores and making the property
useless. The complaint also charges
that numerous mineral deposits
we're rendered useless and that 8
hunting reserve was ruined.

Air Travel For
Babies Declared
Perfectly Safe

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. U.P)-For
long time there has been dis
cussion of the question of how air.
plane flights affect small babies
Apparently United Air Lines has
answered the question. Within the
last week among its passengers was
a 25-day-old infant, Virginia Ston-
er, who was passenger with her
mother, Mrs. D. M. Stoner, of Hol-
lywood, on a 1,200-mile flight from
Seattle to San Diego. The same
week Michael Dix, aged four months,
flew with his mother from San
Francisco to Chicago.
These infant passengers were ac-
cepted after expert medical opin-
ion had concurred that there is
no limit to the age at which 1t
is safe to carry children or babies,
providing an elevation of 10000 or
$4,000 feet is not exceeded.
AS regards oxygen content of the
air, that need not be considered at
all. However, changes in atmos-
pheric pressure, such as are ex-
perienced st different attitudes, can
constitute a different problem for
babies. Consequently, airplane stew
ardeSses waken children when COM
ing in for landing and get them
to swallow a teaspoonful of water,
the swallowing process equalizing
the pressure in their middle ear
with that Of the outside atmospher-
ic pressure.
With that question settled, the
air lines expect that babes in arms
will become frequent travellers.

WALKER CUSTER
MOVE WILL BE
BITTER BATTLE
Hearing To Be Resumed
Monday At Albany By
Governor Roosevelt.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 13. U.P)-
Prospects Of a bitter legal battle
today overshadowed all develop
ments in the two sessions of the
custer hearing against Mayor James
j. Walker with Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt accepting service of a
writ delaying his decision until af-
ter Friday.
The hearing was adjourned yes
terday until 1870 p. m. Monday.
The writ, which may be the en-
tering wedge in lengthy court pro-
ceedings, challenges the governors
power to remove Walker. Specific
ally it directs the governor to show
cause next Friday why a writ pro-
h:biting the hearing and removal
of Walker should not be issued.
The show cause order is return
able before Supreme Court Justice
Ellis J. Staley. Roosevelt informed
Supreme Court Justice Harold j.
Hinman, who issued the writ, that
he would not hand down any de-
cision until after Friday. Thereaf-
ter, however, the governor let 1t be
known that legal entanglements
will not be allowed to hold up a
declaration of the mayors fate.
The court order which may cause
powerful political repercussions was
obtained by Sidney s. Levine, at
torney representing George DON
nelly, secretary of the Bronx
Chamber of Commerce. Argument
behind the writ is that the home
rule amendment to the constitu-
ton takes from the governor the
power vested in him by the original
clauses of the constitution which
assert he may remove a mayor.
Should Justice Staley dismiss the
writ next week, appeal might be
along these Illness would result In
a delay of many months.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. 13. U.P)
Gov. Franklin D Roosevelt sought
rest and solitude at his country es-
tate here today, wearied by the or
deal of Mayor Walkers hearing.
Roosevelt's schedule for today
called for meetings with several
state department officials and a
drive to his cottage in Dutchess
county.
Tomorrow he will meet Speaker
John N. Garner, his running mate
The two are expected to discuss
general campaign plans.

Russian Editors
Want City Jobs

MINSK, U. S. S. r., Aug. 13. U.R)
Three Communists here who, af-
ter completing courses in the school
of journalism, refused to accept
posts as editors of provincial news
papers, have been expelled from
the Communist party.
The, action of the White Rus
sian party is prominently featured
in the press Of the whole nation
to impress members with the Sc
robustness of refusing to work in
the provinces. The desire of spe-
cialized persons to remain in the
larger centers although their serv-
ices are sorely needed in outlying
districts, constitutes q grave prob
lem for the Soviet regime.

@. w. (Chuck) Haynes, Democratic
Candidate for Sheriff

At the coming general election,
the people of the county will have
an opportunity to cast their ballot
for a conscientious, efficient, trust
worthy man for the office of
Sheriff of Morgan county-Charles
w. (Chuck) Haynes, of McConnels
vile. Mr.. Haynes has been a resi-
dent of the county for a number of
years, but has never before aspired
to public office He is a World war
veteran, having served two years on
the other side in active duty. He
was wounded in action and cited for
bravery. He is familiar with the
duties of the office of sheriff, hay
ing served for a brief period as
deputy sheriff.
Mr. Haynes is eminently quail
fed for the sheriff's office. Nature
has given him exceptional physical
strength and mental vigor, and he
is endowed with very keen sense
of right and wrong. His nature is
such that he abhors and detests all
forms of injustice and ingratitude.
He has always been militant
champion of the inalienable rights
of man, and especially those OF
the weak and oppressed-the "ur-
der dog" so to speak.
His whole life has been clear,
useful, exemplary, elevating. His
predominant trait of character has
been loyalty,-to conviction, to
principle, to friends, to business as
sociates. He is fit, ripe, acceptable.
He is also ambitious, energetic and
worthy of this high position of trust
and responsibility. He is truly the
peoples candidate; they, more than
the special interests, should now
realize what his services have been
and will be, should he be elected
sheriff, November Sth.
