The work of Scotland Yard in connection with the coronation began long ago. The Yard leaves nothing to chance. It got into touch with the highest police forces of the leading nations of the world and asked them to help in checking up on prospective wis., itors of England. Not the decent, law-abiding folk, but pickpockets, confidence men and crooks gen. orally and, above all, the men likely to harbor a grudge against heads of states and. therefore, lia- ble to attempt an assassination.

 The Building Inspector's de- partment also has its troubles. As early as last January, the gov- ernlnent Commissioner of Works commenced the erection of grand stands around Westminster Ab- bey, along the Mall and Consti- tuition ,, T4Al and other points where the government has con- trol of the space. These stands are designed to accomodate thou sands of government officials, guests of the government and other favor ed ones, who can thus sit in comfort and watch the coronation parade enther on, its, way to the Abbey or back to- Buckingham Palace
 The object of starting erection of these stands so early was to give the huilding inspectors . chance to test them as to- tileir strength and safety. The iinspec- tors are also testing all stands erected. by, private specuIators, who have rented many choice. spots along the line sof the parade. And the inspection will mot. be a mere bluff. In past times, there have; been some very serious trag- edies due to careless grapdstand building. One of the most ter, rible of modern days took place during the coronation of the late Car Nicholas Second of Russia in 1894 when a huge grandstand collapsed and hundreds of peo- pie were either killed or sefi- ousIy injured. .s.. ,s, K <.

This years washington Times
Metropolitan Police pistol matches
are going to be "wide-open" and
are expected to be first steps to
ward making the event an annual
national institution.
Lieut.. j. E. Fondahl, captain OF
the District bluecoats' crack
marksmen, winners of last years
match and the Times trophy, to
day sent invitations to half q
hundred police, civilian and mil
itary pistol units throughout the
country to come to Washington
and shoot it out with the local
boys.
Exact date of the contest can.
not be set yet, but it will be held
late in September or first week
of october.
Outlines Planned
Four outstanding advocates OF
better shooting last night discussed
preliminary plans. They were
Lieut.. Fondhal, Inspector L. I. H
GfNWo1 NoB I4CGAOPOAAGcA14 I O41ICB NO1
John w. Ohemann, commanding
officer, District National Guard,
and his adjutant general, Col. P
G. hewitt.
Most important of the decisions
made was that this year the match
would be a two-day event, instead
of single-day firing of last year.
In asking for extension of the
duration of the matches, Lieuten
ant Fondahl said:
Last year we got started too
late and found out that many
other pistol teams would have
come to Washington for the
matches had they been notified
far enough in advance. Never
theleSS, the matches were hailed
by participants and spectators,
as distinct successes and so, this
year, we are going to have more
teams here"
70 SEE SIGHTS
Inspector Edwards pointed out
that the contestants would like
to see the Washington sights.
Immediately Colonel Ohemann
responded:
"Why not? The District Of
The Washington times., 1937-01-28
Times Shoot to Call
Fifty Police Teams

Columbia National Guard will
throw open facilities at Camp
Simms Congress Heights,
d. c. a couple Of days before
the matches begin"
Colonel hewitt said he would
see to it that sleeping accommo-
dations were provided for all COM
petitors and Lieutenant Fondahl
thought the District police force
should supply meals at a low
price.
1t was agreed that the last
night in camp should be ION the
house" and so the District will be
host at the termination of a
shooting session, the fundamental
aim of which is to make Wash
ington'S police force quicker on
the draw and surer of aim than
the gangSterhood it fights.
The previous pistol shooting,
through which the Washington
police expert team won the coveted
Times trophy, a gold plaque, de-
picted a policeman on the firing
line, was a "tri1State'' affair of
District Of Columbia, Maryland
and Virginia State policemen.
How many States at the coming
of the next contest is a matter of
conjecture.

BRITISH TRADE
PACT HELD
DISTANT
International News Service

Government officials were dis
creetly silent today on the results
Of the conversations with Walter
Runciman, chairman of the Brit
ish Board Of Trade, but in some
quarters the impression obtained
that a British-American recipro-
cal trade treaty is still a long
way off.
Runciman sails for England to-
day after a weekend spent at the
White House, and some extended
chats with Secretary Of State
Hull.
Embassy Cautious
The British embassy made an
unusually cautious statement con.
cerning Runciman's visit. 1t read:
During Mr.. Runciman'S visit
he has been able to have an ex-
change of views on various top
les with President Roosevelt and
Mr.. COrdell Hull. On trade mat
terS he has taken the OppOrtun-
ity to have a general discussion
with Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Sayre,
but further exploration will be
necessary before it can be deter
mined whether there is a firm
basis upon which detailed negO-
tiatiOns can take place for a
reciprocal trade agreement"
NEUTRALITY EYED
In some quarters it was believed
Runciman a MS conversations had
more to do with expected Ameri.
can neutrality legislation than
with trade matters.
The British would not like to
see a mandatory neutrality act
which would embargo raw materi-
ais in the event of war, for should
Britain become involved she
would be badly in need Of a source
Of supply.
