PILOT AGAINST LIFE
of KING REPORTED
Unnamed Man Questioned
by Scotland Yard, News
paper Says.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, March 81 Sunday -
The Sunday Referee reported today
a suspected plot against the life of
King George VI was being investi-
gated by Scotland Yard following a
raid on the room of an unnamed
man where detectives found throw
ing knife wrapped up with a map
of the coronation route.
The newspaper asserted high Off
cials of Scotland Yard were ques-
tioning the unnamed man after the
search of a house in a London suburb
yielded the knife and a number of
documents.
1t reported that detectives who
raided the mans room also found
more than 100 newspaper clippings
giving details of the coronation pro-
cession May H.
Details covered by the clippings, it
said, including the position to be
occupied by the Kings carriage in
the procession, the times when the
certain points and the exact route
procession was scheduled to pass
to be followed.
Inquiries at the special branch of
Scotland Yard-the department
which protects royalty and deals with
political matters - brought neither
confirmation nor denial of the Sum-
day Referees report.
I'VE are not in a position to give
any information, the duty officer
there said. I'VE have no statement
whatever to make"
The newspaper reported that the
greatest secrecy was being main
tained over the identity of the man
being questioned. 1t added it was
likely no statement would be issued
until Scotland Yard completes its in
quirieS.
1t said many persons were being
questioned and inquiries were being
made all over London in an effort
to check up on the mans move
ments.

WAYS, Ga, March 20.-Henry Ford
said today reports he has heard that
he planned to shut down his plants
in the event of strike were "abso-
lutely untrue"
Il have heard reports that I said
We would shut down for three years,
if necessary, in the event of strike, "
Ford said in an authorized interview
at his Winter home here. He did not
mention the sources of the reports.
We'll, that's not true. We are not
going to shut down. We intend to
keep operating to the last man."
Ford said there had been no labor
trouble in his widely scattered plants.
but he had experienced some difficulty
with his sources of supplies.
THE only object of strike in any
of our plants would be an effort to
make us shut down. We don't intend
to do that" he said.
THE international financiers, who
are really back of these strikes, have
plenty to do besides trying to control
industry. Let them create a proper
distribution system that will be based
upon what each country produces.

SCHOOL WARNED,
PROBERSARE TOLD
Contractor Says Plans Were
Changed to Gas to Cut
Cost.
BY the Associated Press,

NEW LONDON, Tex, March 90
Two witnesses told a military court
| today they had warned of explosion
hazards in the heating system of the
London Consolidated School, where
ASS students and teachers died Thurs
day in demolishing blast.
Scores of funeral corteges wound
through the pine studded hills, bear
ing victims to burial grounds as the
court of inquiry sought to track down
the origin of the explosion.
A. J. Belew, heating equipment
salesman, testified he had warned
school officials it was dangerous not
to install a new gas regulator for the
main building of the imposing school
group.
George H. GreenWay, Dallas heating
engineer and an unsuccessful bidder
for the school heating contract, testi-
fled "It's crime to put gas steam
radiators in public buildings. When
you put in 70 such radiators, you have
70 chances for individual explosions ="
Jesse P. Vaughan, an Oil field
worker told the court he and a COM
panion who previously had expressed
an opinion the explosion was caused
by nitroglycerin had changed their
minds.
From Contractor Ross Maddox, who
had part in building the school, the
court heard original plans for heating
the oil-Wealthy school from a steam
boiler were changed to provide indi-
vidual gas steam radiators "on ac-
count of cost, I presume"
DR.. E. P. Schoch, explosions expert
fro the University of Texas, ques-
toned Belew, representing James B.
Glow & Sons Co.
DR.. Schoch, who earlier expressed a
theory that an accumulation of gas
caused the blast, asked Belew if he
had told officials of the regulator fault.
The salesman replied:
Il told Mr.. Shaw CIV. c. Shaw,
school superintendent that it was
dangerous. I told him he would have
t. reduce the pressure
Belew testified a new gas regulator
was installed in the main building

made by Assistant Secretary of Com

Col. johnson also charged that the
investigation was conducted by "preju-

His letter was included in a published
transcript of secret hearings and
evidence submitted to the committee.

that no fair-minded person could

Discussing the investigation of the
Cutting accident, near KirkSville, Mo-,

"Initially, the committees chief in

LEGAL 'S|T-DOWNS'
EENPOSS|B|L|TY
Lands Predicts They May
Be Accepted as Was Claim
of Strike Right.

A suggestion that sit-doWn strikes
might ultimately be recognized as
legal, just as strikes themselves have
become legalized, was made last night
by James M. Lands, chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Talking at Catholic University to
the Eastern Law Students Conference,
Lands, dean-designate of Harvard
Law School, said:
THE claim today that men can
occupy premises to keep their claim
TO strike intact is similar to the claim
OF the employer to close his premises
against his employees. The question is
whether property in such a dispute is
gong to be recognized as inviolable.
Possible Outcome.
THE eventual outcome of such a
claim will depend. in part, perhaps, on
the capacity Of our law to devise new
concepts and mechanisms to meet the
needs out OF which this type of eco
nomlc pressure has been born"
Lands led up to the sit-down strike
ny tracing the slowness of the law to
recognize the claim of workers to COM
pensation. to strike, to induce fellow
employees not to work during a strike
and to the claim of the right to
bargain collectively.
Lands held the sit-down is a coun-
terpart of the lockout, but added this
new claim of workers to prevent all
production finds itself with doubtful
legal justification" because the lockout
involves no question of property.
The claims that industry must pay
a living wage, that merchandiserS
must make truthful statements of the
character of their products, that COR
porate structures must be simplified,
that in agriculture and mining other
people shall not be allowed to waste
natural resourceS-all these are claims
clamoring for recognition" Lands
said.
Better Legal Machinery Held Need.
There is a clamor, too, the speaker
added. for better legal machinery
This clamor, he said, arises from "the
delay and cost in court procedure and
the lack of experts among men who
adjudicate claims.
The law itself just won't stand
Illustration of that kind" Lands re-
marked of the delay and cost and lack
of experts, and then urged that inde-
pendent administrative commissions,
composed supposedly of experts, be
made immune from many of the chal-
lenges to which they now are subject
from the courts.
He suggested that just as equity
courts we're developed long ago to
offset the antiquated Interpretation
of the common law, the adminiStra-
tive commission should be put in the
same relation to modern courts as
the equity courts were to common
law courts to expand and revitalize
the law.
