FERRING-ON-SE England, July
i5.-James Bunting, young scenario
writer who says he has been to Holly
wood, declared yesterday he was
taking opinion of counsel" on his
virtual accommodation from the
Church of England.
The Bishop of Chichester, the Right
Rev. George Bell. denied communion to
Bunting because, he said, the latter
violated the Fifth Commandment:
Honor thy father and thy mother"
Bunting's parents died recently in
a gas-filled bed room. The father, the
Rev. w. H. Boyne Bunting, curate at
Comelsdale Parish, left a letter saying
his son had the bulk of his fortune.
Subsequently q coroners jury criti-
cized the younger Bunting for not
helping his parents financially.
Outlining his plans, the writer said:
II do not intend to attend church in
view Of the terms of the bishops ale
cations, but hope to prove him wrong
in what he says about me.
I'm the past it may be I was a
naughty boy but there are lots Of
sons who have been naughty boys"
He conceded he had between $4,000
and $4,000 of his parents money. but
declared he had begun to help his
parents and said his fathers letter alb
solved him from blame.

gate, was examined late yesterday by
. commission appointed by Gov. Her
bert Lehman.

the family of her alleged lover, who
was accused of helping her do away
with Mrs. Applegate, were at the
prison yesterday.
In appointing the commission Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman gave no indica-
ton whether his action presaged a
possible communication of sentence.
The Governor presumably acted on
reports from Sing Sing Prison the
past few weeks that Mrs. Creighton's
losing fight for life has left her phys
ically wasted and almost speechless
with fear.

preached the 36-year-old mother OF

paralyzed from the waist down, and
able to retain only liquid nourish-
ment.
On the other hand, her alleged
companion in murder, Everett Apple
gate, was reported calmly awaiting
developments.
The two were convicted of admins
tering poison to Applegate's 220-pound
wife in the Long Island bungalow
which the two families shared last
October The State produced testi-
mony tending to show that Applegate
a salesman. had been intimate with
both Mrs. Creighton and her 16-year-
old daughter Ruth.

BILL ASKS 3-MAN
ALCOHOL BOARD
Proposal Expected to Be Intro
duced in Senate in Few

UdyS.
By the Associated Press.
A bill to remove the Federal Alcohol
Administration from supervision of
the Treasury Department, placing it
under a three-man board, instead of
an administrator, is expected to be
introduced in the Senate this week.
This prediction came from admin
istration sources despite the fact
President Roosevelt yesterday NOM
mated Wilford S. Alexander of Mer-
iden, Conn, as administrator, to sue
ceed Franklin Hoyt, New York, who
resigned recently.
The old Federal Alcohol Control
Administration. made powerless by
the Supreme Courts N r. A. decision
had been an independent board. Both
former Administrator Joseph H.
Choate, jr., and Secretary Morgenthau
objected to placing the new F. A. A.
under Treasury guidance.
Hoyt repeated these objections in
submitting his resignation to the
President.
AS administrator, Alexander will
exercise wide powers over the liquor
industry, at a salary Of $4,000 year.
AL importers, wholesalers, rectiflers,
distillers and winners operate under
Federal permit
The administrator has the power
to make regulations governing these
activities with the full effect of law"
and power to enforce his regulations
by suspending or revoking permits.
He also may fine violators. His pow
er over brews is much less extensive.
Alexander, who is expected to take
Office when the Senate confirms his
nomination, has been prominent in
American Legion and banking circles
In Meriden for many years. He re-
signed recently as president of bank.
During the World War, he served
overseas as captain.

COURT LIBERALISM
IS BIT SURPRISING
Stones Radicalism Contrary
to Former Environment
In Law Practice
Bv CHARLES p. STEWART

Washington, April 11.-There is
nothing surprising in the fact that AS
sociate Justices Louis D. Brandeis and
BENJAMIN N. Cardozo are on the lib
eral side of every split decision which
the United State Supreme Court rem
ders. They are liberals of long stand
ing.
But one scarcely would have
thought that Associate Justice Har-
Ian r. Stone would be so consistently
of their faction.
His law firm of Satterlee, Garfield
&c Stone had a highly conservative
practice. Among its clients, for exam
pie, was the house of J. p. Morgan
first the elder 81. Pr, then his estate
in the hands of the present magnate.
This was not what one would be likely
to call liberalizing professional con-
nection.

Stone was appointed, too, to the at
torney generals office and later to the
supreme bench by President Coolidge
who was not noted for picking very
liberal folk to fill important positions

in the United States Senate on the
ground that he was a reactionary.

CHAMBERLAIN MAY !
SUCCEED BALDWIN
Premier's Retirement Would
Be Setback to Germany;
Liberal Trend
By LESLIE EICFTEL

When Neville Chamberlain succeeds
Stanley Baldwin as British prime
minister (if that does occur) Europe
will interpret that as a setback to
Germany and as an aid to France.
For Chamberlain's rise would be due
to British dissatisfaction with Bald
wins soft" policy. But it may be a
different France to which aid may be
given. For France goes to the polls
the first week in Maryland the cleo
torate is expected to swing sharply
to the left Will an arch Tory like
Chamberlain be eager to walk hand
in hand with a Lettist government?
But will not England itself begin
to turn left-believing it's election of
the Tories last year an abortion? The
Conservatives may change leaders in
midstream because the electorate, in
less than a year, has become demon
stratively dissatisfied.
The three chief Europeon democ-
racies now seem sertain to remain de-
mocracies and not swing to dictator
ship. England, France and Czecho-
slovakia are counted upon as the bull
warks of democracy. And rumor has
IL LIldC Lie OON1CI OIllOu SOUL inlay OG-
mocratize communism. (Will the de-
mocracies, in turn, communize demo-
cracy?) Of course, there has been no
such thing yet as pure democracy.
Even the fartherest left nations have
no such thing.

ticle by special correspondent in

ing the monarchial democracy of Bri-
tain is not very cheering.

The first golf tournament of the
season for the West End Country
Club will be staged Easter Monday
over the clubs course, and practical
ly all of the members are expected
to take part in it.
AL Johnson, pro at the club, stated
that the tourney would be rather
unique in that all players will be per-
mitted to choose their own score of
handicap, and the ones playing the
closest to that score will be the Win
ner of valuable prizes being offered
In explaining the workings of the
tournament, AL Johnson said that
every player would have an equal
chance, regardless of his ability as
a golfer. He pointed out that player
that shoots an 80 and believes that
he's good for that Monday may choose
that as his score and play against it..
If one plays 10 or any other score,
he may choose that score at the be-
ginning of the rounds and play a.
gainst it. The player coming the
closest to the score he has chosen will
be the winner.

very good condition for the tourney
in spite of heavy rains for the past

ing out the course.

coming contest, and golfers are all
