Famed Prime Minister of
England Dies ON
Board Liner

LONDON, Nov. 10. (UP)
Leaders of all political
parties, friends and enemies
paid tribute today to James
Ramsay Macdonald, Brit
aims first labor prime minister,
while the liner Reina Del Pacifico
aboard which he died last night,
made its way to Bermuda.
Men who had denounced him as
pacifist and as a traitor to the
labor party. joined in praising
Macdonald as man who had
fought hard for so years for the
things he thought we're right.
Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain, conservative; Sir Archi-
bald Sinclair liberal, and Maj. Gle
ment Attlee, labor, leaders of the
three great parties, were expected
to speak in the House of Commons
this afternoon i'll praise of him.
S.. 1t was expected that MacDon-
AIDS body, after its arrival at Ber-
muda Monday, would be returned
to Britain for burial at Lossie-
mouth, Scotland, his birthplace.
There, in the little fishing vilalge
which ostracized him for years as
a pacifist traitor, he will lie be-
side the wife whom he had mourn
ed for rs years. She died in 1911
Macdonald, seeking rest in
cruise to South America, died last
night. Heart disease was blamed.
His death was of no political
Importance and it was as an elder
statesman that he was mourned.
He continued in a sort of shadow
leadership of the national labor
party-a handful of right wing la
Dor men who support the coali-
ton government and are regarded
as bitter enemies by labor party
men generally.
MacDonald's eyesight had been
bad for some years. He had over
worked all his life. He was con-
vinced himself that he was going
blind, after several operations
which-partly because he resumed
work too soon-were not entirely
successful,

Wright, 38 year old president of
Union Air Terminal, is held on
suspicion of murder. He confessed
shooting Mrs. Evelyn Mcbride
Wright, %, and John Kimmel, 35,
traffic manager of the airport,
when he found her in Kimmel's
embrace.
Attorney Jerry Giesler was re-
tanned by Wright. He visited the
man in the Glendale city Jail late
last night.
Friends said that Wright prob
ably would base a defense either
on emotional insanity" or the
right of a husband to defend the
inviolability of his home.
Wright, who blamed the shoot
ing on a white flash" of jealousy
at seeing his wife in the other
mans arms, related an ironic story
of taking Kimmel home with him,
as an alibi, in fear of his Wife's
jealousy. They were returning home
late from meeting of the Quiet
Birdmen, a flying organization.
Wright said his wife was jealous,
and he wanted Kimmel along to
testify they had been to a stag
affair.
Mrs. Wright was up, and mixed
drinks for them Wright went to
his bedroom for nap. Awaken
ing, he heard KimmePs voice.

he related, and saw the two OF

smiled or sort of laughed. Then
she kissed Johnny on the lips.

Wright, still distraught today, al
ternately insisted his slain wife was
a good Woman-a fine woman,
and then related his suspicious
that she had been stepping out.
Johns conduct was always ire
proachable." he said, He was the
one man l would not suspect. He

BULLETS RAIN
ON DECKS OF
.DUCE'S SHIP
Terrified Refugees
Hurl Selves on
Barbed Wire

SHANGHAI, Nov. 10.
(UP)-Machine gun bullets
rained on the decks of the
Italian cruiser Montecuccoli
tonight as Chinese and Jap
anese gunners engaged in a duel
off the Mantao Bund along the
Whangpoo river
A commander of the italian war
ship mounted a loud speaker and
demanded that the firing cease but
the protest went unheeded and
the crew of the cruiser was forced
to take refuge below decks.
The duel started when a Japa-
nese gunboat opened up against
heavy Chinese machine gun en-
placements at Mantao where
surrounded Chinese battalion was
making last stand against com
plete domination Of Shanghai by
the Japanese.
Terrorized Chinese refugees and
fleeing troops threw themselves at
the barbed wire barrieades Of the
French concession today, seeking
to escape a merciless japanese
bombardment of the Mantao quar-
ter.
Many Chinese soldiers deliber-
ately cut themselves on the wire,
believing that they had to show
wounds to gain admittance.
Japanese shells shrieked over the
International Settlement and the
French concession from north and
west into the Mantao quarter,
which nestles between the French
concession and the Whangpoo riv-
er.
Japanese airplanes circled high
over the United States cruiser Au-
gusta as they set themselves for
power bombing dives
! In Nantao, apparently 10000
Chinese troops and militarized po-
lice remain as rear guards. Shells
passed over the international area
from two directions
A Japanese army spokesman said
imperturbably that the shelling
and airplane bombing would con-
tinue as long as Chinese troops
remained in the quarter He ex-
planned that at long range, the
artillery could place its shells more
accurately.
West of the city. the Chinese
resistance stiffened. Japanese OPEN
ed up barrage with machine guns,
trench mortars and airplane bombs.
There came from the Chinese lines
such a burst of fire in response
that Japanese tanks, moving for
ward under shelter of the barrage,
were forced to retreat.
