HOUSE OFLORDS
 TRIED MEMBER
Lord De Clifford Found Not Guilty on Charge of
 Manslaughter

London, Dec. 12--CUP)--Lord de Clifford, 28-year -old holder of one of the oldest titles in the British realm, was acquitted of charge of manslaughter by jury of his peers in the house of lords today.
 The basis of the charge was that Baron de. Clifford was driving craz- fly on the wrong side of the road one foggy night four months ago when his car collided with another machine on the Kingston byroad, on the outskirts of London, killing Douglas George Hawkins, 26.
 Sir Henry Curtis Bennett, defend- ing the young baron, contended that no case had been made out on the charge of rnanslaughter.
 AcquittaI Was Speedy
 Acquittal followed announcement that law judges, assisting the peers in trying the case, supported Ben nett'S contention and that there fore there was no case for de Cliff ford to answer.
 The pageantry of feudal England was revived in all its rich color as the 6 it. 5 inch defendant faced 8 jury of his peers under trial condi- tionS fixed more than seven cen- turies ago in the Magma Carta of 1915.
 The extravagant ritual of the courts of medieval times was fol- lowed to the last detail today. Both setting and procedure were just the same as if several centuries had not passed since lords were given the right to be tried on felony charges only by their equals in title.

 IS NOT ARGUED

Washington, Dec. 12-U.PJ-The administration to-day abandoned the Bankhead cotton control act to the supreme court without having attempted to argue the question of the right of congress to pass the law under the federal constitution.

 The action will not eliminate the government as a litigant, however, as it has brief on file covering all questions involved. It includes a wig orous defense of the laws conStitu- tionality. .
 No explanation was given for the decision.

buses are provided to and from the

their own cars have a special treat in
store, for the countryside is particu-
larly lovely at this time of the year,
the roads are perfect and not crowded
