BRITAIN SHOCKED
BY NEW SCANDAL
Bullock Dismissed From Air
Post for LACK of
; Instinct"
~ Gable to The Star.

~ Cable to The Star.
LONDON, August 6.-Great Britain
was shocked by its second major pub
lie scandal in 10 weeks today when 1t
was announced with much fanfare
that Sir Christopher Bullock, perma-
nent secretary to the air ministry, had
been dismissed from his post for
Showing lack of instinct and per-
ception" in his conduct. =
The formal charges. which brought
an investigation by the special Civil
Service Board Of Inquiry and his
eventual dismissal, are that Sir
Christopher, while negotiating
highly important agreement between
the government and the Imperial Air
ways, continually suggested to Sir
Eric Geddes, chairman Of Imperial
Airways. and Woods Humphrey, man
aging director Of the company, that
he, Sir Christopher, be made chair
man to succeed Sir Eric.
Both Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win, in ordering his dismissal, and
the Inquiry Board in its report, were
careful to state that there was no
question of corruption. The commits
sion further made it clear that the
negotiations between Imperial and
the air ministry were not affected by
the personal talks between Sir
Christopher and Geddes and denied
that Bullock attempted to buy Geddes
position from him by a promise of
royal honors.
1t is known. however, that Bullock
mentioned such an honor to Geddes,
who Indignantly stated that he was not
interested
Bullocks dismissal is not attended
by any such bad odor as surrounded
J. H. Thomas, former colonial min
lister. when he resigned last May II
the budget leak scandal, but coming
as it does during the fever of rearma-
ment. it has caused tremendous sem
sation.
The government deliberately acted
harshly in Bullock's case to impress
upon the British public its desire that
cooperation between private indus
tries and high officials who are in
volved In the rearmament program be
entirely above board.
Bullock, bright preachers son and
public school boy who served in the
Air Corps during the World War until
wounded, and has since risen rapidly
to a high post, was principally guilty
OF talking too much and to the wrong
man: The hard-hitting Sir Eric
Geddes. Had he held his tongue until
he retired from service. he might have
shared the happy fate Of numerous
other former public servants who re-
tired from the government In recent
years to accept lucrative jobs with pri-
yate corporations.

PARENTS TO CALL
| FOR CARTER GIRL
15.Year.0Id Runaway Is
Held by Police at Ashe-
vile, N. c.

The parents of 15-year-old Gloria
Elaine Carter, missing since June 4,
we're to be reunited with their daugh-
ter in Asheville, N. C. today.
The father. Weldon Carter, director
Of the Washington Musical Institute,
and his wife left by automobile for
the North Carolina city yesterday
afternoon Immediately after learning
Asheville police had located the girl
by means Of information furnished
by the newly formed Public Relations
Bureau here.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
chief of detectives. was notified by
wire that an Asheville detective had
recognized Gloria in a crowd standing
in front Of the Battery Park Hotel,
scene of the Helen Clevenger murder.
Asheville police said the girl, held
in Jail cell, is determined not to ac-
company her parents back home, ac-
cording to an Associated Press dis
patch. An officer quoted her as say
ing she had friends In Baltimore and
hoped to obtain job playing piano
in night club there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter expected to
reach Asheville early today. The
father talked to his daughter by tele-
phone before leaving. They are ex-
pected to return to Washington to-
night.
The long search ended Just one
day over two months after Gloria
disappeared. The attractive girl had
not been seen here since the morning
OF June 4, after telling her mother
she would be home for lunch. She
was attending Gordon Junior High
School.
The parents, believing she had left
because she feared failure in one study
and was tired Of taking piano and
violin lessons, made the following
statement. which police printed on
posters sent throughout the country:
"Important-Gloria will not have
to go back to school or music. There
is nothing possible that her parents
are not ready to do for her, and she
may count upon them under any
and all circumstances"
A 500 reward was offered by the
father last month for information
concerning Glorias whereabouts.
The girl Is an accomplished pianist,
violinist and tap dancer. She had
no money when she left and took only
the clothes she was wearing to school.
She told police she had worked for
while as waitress at a cafe there,
but declined to detail other move
ments since her disappearance.

LIBERTY LEAGUE
BACKS NO PARTY
Declines to Indorse G. 0. p,
New Deal or Democrats
in Election.
81 the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Liberty League, which
has protested much of the New Deal
in the past two years, announced last
night 'it will indorse no candidate"
or party, in the presidential campaign.
"The league is neither an adjunct
nor an ally Of the Republican party"
said statement by the leagues Ex-
ecutive Committee in redefining the
position to be held between now and
November.
1T Is not an adjunct Of the Demo-
cratic party, even though many of
its principles harmonic with the ex-
cellent platform adopted by that
party in 1882 and proclaimed as a
covenant with the people to be faith
fully kept
Certainly the league is not an ad-
junct Of the New Deal party which
for the moment has usurped control
Of the party of Jefferson, Jackson,
Cleveland and Wilson"
To Uphold Constitution.
The committee, of which Alfred E.
Smith is a leading member, said the
league "will continue to emphasize the
protection of the rights of the masses
which the Constitution affords and it
will be true to the pledge embodied in
its charter to uphold and defend the
Constitution and the courts created
to interpret It,"
1T has not and will not contribute
to any campaign fund.-" the state
ment concluded.
It's issuance coincided with prepa-
ration by another member of the
committee and a friend Of Smiths,
former Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massa-
chusetts. to attend the meeting of
Roosevelt Democrats called for
Friday in Detroit. Smith was invited
to attend, but said yesterday in New
York that previous engagements would
keep him there.
Silent on Stump Plea.
His recent talk with John Hamilton,
the Landon campaign manager. pro-
voked speculation about his attitude
in the campaign. Hamilton expressed
hope he would take the stump against
the New Deal, but Smith has declined
comment.
In a statement yesterday at West
field, Mass. Ely said the Detroit con-
ferees would discuss a plan for those
Democrats who do not believe the New
Deal is administering the country for
the best interests of the people"
I'VE believe its continuance in
power will greatly retard the progress
Of the United States toward a hap
pier social order and will ruin the
Democratic party" he added.

bassador to Rome, Of Italy's acceptance
Of the proposal in principle.
The Netherlands and Czechoslovakia

question Of possible methods of guar
anteeing the neutrality pledge and
asked for French suggestions. She also

position be determined before the Ger

announcing her limited acceptance of
the neutrality proposal. They were:
