60 in such an eventuality was not
disclosed despite the bitterly sarcastic
question Of former Prime Minister
David Lloyd George
What do you propose to do-sue
Franoo?"
The renewed warning to Franco,
outgrowth Of the determined opposition
effort to censure the Stanley Baldwin
government for refusing to convoy
food ships into insurgent-blockaded
Bilbao, indicated Britain still held
an apprehensive view of the inter-
national dangers in the situation.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden,
in replying to the censure motion in
Commons, declared the committee was
ready to proceed to the question Of
volunteer Withdrawals and added:
If ever this country can make q
contribution to bring this conflict to
an end, that contribution will be made
readily and eagerly"
Eden's statement, suave and devoid
Of oratory in the sureness Of the
victory which the government ma
jority indicated, ended the heated de-
bate which not only blasted at the
governments war policy, but casu-
gated individual cabinet members.
Observers considered, however, deli
cate questions of international law
might be involved If British warships
entered Spanish territorial waters as
the result Of interference with ship
ping on the Basque coast.
Since Franco has been refused bel
ligerent rights, his starvation blockade
OF Bilbao was considered by experts
to be illegal and any action OF his
against foreign vessels could be held
to be piracy.
Theoretically, it is the duty of the
recognized Spanish government to pro-
tect foreign ships in her territorial
waters and whether Britain has the
right to protect her merchantmen
within the Smile limit under the spe-
cial condition puzzled international
lawyers
Shippers, indicating their Wiling
ness to bow before the government
policy, said such theoretical discus
sions were so much spray in the
wind"
1T is just a case of whoever does
what he wants to without effective
opposition Is right" one said.
They declared If their food ships
could break through the blockade
that would show it was not complete
and would Justify any Rritish action
But If we can't break through, that
sets principle justifying Franco"

Mayor Forello H. La Guardia of
New York told Senate group today
proper, decent, low-rent housing is
not possible without very generous
Government subsidies"
He testified at a Labor Committee
hearing on the Wagner bill for a
billion-dollar Federal housing pro-
gram, based on making loans to State
and community housing authorities
for slum-clearance projects and low
income housing units.
Private capital" La Guardia said,
cannot build, at present costs OF ma
terial, labor and land, houses within
the reach Of low-income classes"
He asserted efforts OF the Public
Health Service to check disease were
destroyed" when, "at the same time,
we close our eyes to disease breeding
buildings" He said there were "a, 488
"old-type' tenements in New York, of
which AT least 10000 exist In viola
ton Of law"
More than $4,000 00, 900, he esti-
mated, would be required to eliminate
New York's slums.
Secretary OF the Interior Ickes, who
has directed the P. w. A. housing
activities, said in a message to the
committee that it would be best to
intrust the new program to the In
terror Department.

GROUP WILL PRESS
FOR UNIFORM LAWS
National Conference Will Study
Proposal for State Justice
Department Act.

Study of a proposal for adoption of
a uniform State Department of JUS
tice act will be renewed by the Ma
tional Conference of Commissioners
on Uniform State Laws at it's conven-
ton opening in Kansas City, Mo-, to-
morrow.
Charles V. INLAY, local attorney
and one OF the commissioners on uni
form State laws from the District of
Columbia, who was named chairman
of a committee to draft the proposed
act in 1884. said yesterday the COM
mittee would recommend that the sub
ject be retained for further study and
report.
The plan involves setting up in each
Of the States a department in which
law enforcement activities would be
concentrated under the Attorney Gen.
eral or director Of the department.
Such acts already have been adopted
in Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, New
Mexico, Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota and California.
In addition, INLAY will report to the
conference, since 1885 Rhode Island
and Utah have enacted legislation
providing for centralized Depart
ment Of Justice; North Carolina has
provided for a referendum on a con-
stitutional amendment to create such
a department, and the subject will
receive consideration in a forthcom-
ing constitutional convention in New
York.

he was Joe Jones Of Chicago, told
Police Court Judge Robert E. Mat
tingly yesterday when he was ar
raigned on charge of trying to steal
a pair of shoes from a downtown de-
partment store twice in the same
afternoon.
But I was drunk, your honor, and
I don't remember taking these Shoes"
he added as he stared ruefully at the
worn pair on his feet.
Judge Mattingly continued the case
until Monday and turned the 47-year-
old man over to Probation Officer
Joseph Sanford for investigation.
Witnesses said q foorwalker caught
Jones trying to stun the shoes inside
his vest, and sent him away with q
warming. But in = few minutes he
was caught again going down an esca-
lator, the same pair of shoes making
large bulge ut his waist. Jones then
was turned over to police.

RIGOROUS TESTS
URGED FOR DRIVERS
Keystone Auto Club Official Saws
Better Operators Needed to
Cut Deaths.

Better drivers are needed more
than anything else to cut down auto
mobile accident deaths, George e.
keneipp. manager Of the keystone
Automobile Club, said yesterday, in
urging more rigorous mental and
physical examinations for driving per-
NIT applicants.
I'VE simply cannot escape the fact
that highway safety Is primarily an
individual problem" he said. "and
the more we delve into the subject
the more convincing is the evidence
that the driving privilege should not
be lightly bestowed"
In addition to sitter examinations
Tor prospective drivers, Keneipp urged
that accredited drivers CHECK up on
their own qualifications, if only
through selfish interest"
Experiments with driver testing ap-
paratus show that definite physical
and mental limitations or weaknesses
IN reasonably intelligent and law
abiding drivers play their part in the
$4,000 traffic deaths and more than
l.250,000 annually in the United
States, Keneipp said.
