Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph E. Davies would now be
adorning London diplomacy instead of represent
ing this country in bleak Moscow if there had
been no divorce in their matrimonial past. The
Court of st. James is intensely prejudiced against
divorce. The ghost of the shortreigned Edward
VIII haunts the British government. The present
Royal family is thumbs down on extraterritorial-
ity in marriage.

Witness at CreaCh
Trial Impeaches
TaCkett Character
A dmitS Testimony
Differed on TUO
Occasions

Under a gruelling cross-examina-
tion of defense counsel for Ted
Creech, husky Harlan County,
(Ky.,) mine superintendent, on
trial in United States District
Court on a charge of perjury be.
fore Senate committee, a Gov
ernment witness was forced to ad.
NIT that the Senate committee re-
garded as a key witness for the
Government as a gun man, a thug
and dynamiter."
The admission came from Rob.
ert Wohlforth, one of the secre-
taries of the LaFollette committee
on education and labor, which OBJ
tained an indictment against
Creech as a result of Creech's
denial that he threatened Richard
c. Tackett, witness who just ap-
peared before the LaFollette COM
mittee, then investigating strike
activities in Harlan County.
KNEW REPUTATION
Chief Defense Counsel William
E. Leahy asked Wohlforth if the
Senate committee did not know
of Tackett'S reputation and Wolh.
forth responded in the affirma-
tive.
Did the committee not know
that Tackett's testimony ir
Washington was contrary to
testimony he had given in Har.
Ian county?" Leahy continued.
Wolhforth replied in the at.
firmative and Leahy asked:
"And the committee took its
choice as to which testimony Of
Tackett's it would believe and
chose to believe that which he
gave in Washington. Is that
right?"
Wohlforth finally admitted that
such was the case.
THREAT IS CITED
While Tackett was standing near
the committee room in the pres
ence of deputy U. S. marshal.
Creech is said to have approached
him and, after reviling him for his
testimony, said that when they
both returned to Harlan county.
Creech would have Tackett "sent
up" for prison term.
The occurrence was reported to
the LaFollette C o m mi t and
Creech was called to explain the
reported threat. The perjury
charge, for which he is on trial, is
an outgrowth of his testimony.
WITNESSES HEARD
Testimony of three witnesses
was heard yesterday as Defense
Attorneys William E. Leahy and
William j. Hughes, jr., strenu'
ously opposed admission of their
testimony in evidence.
The witnesses were James r.
Clark, an attorney and former
secretary to Senator David Walsh.

Stout Heart To Be Wed

It takes stout and ardent heart to carry
through marriage in this confused 1887. At least
such is the conclusion of Miss Beth Campbell
who will be the bride of her fellow associated press
journalist, Mr.. Joseph H. Short jr, about Christ.
mas time. Miss Campbell is small, pretty, and
looks like she was just graduated from grammar
school. In each shop where she has shopped for
her rousseau the clerks have treated her as if she
were shipwrecked orphan and have prepared
her earnestly for the pitfalls of marriage. One
saleswoman looked at her long and sadly and
asked:
Haven't you got mother? Haven't you even
got an aunt to help you buy your wedding dress?
1t just breaks my heart to see little thing like
you going into marriage unprotected
Another clerk advised: Don't get white we'd
ding dress. They are such waste. Nobody can
be married in white twice. Why not get one you
can use again sometime-just in case"
But the advice of the silversmith was the most
disheartentng to young thing about to spring
into domesticity. Mercy" he said, Don't have
your silver marked. Our up-to-date brides never
do it. The way life is nowadays you might want
to change your initials sometime"

CLEVELAND, October "a strike
against the eight affiliated Greyhound

tract.
About 1900 drivers are ordered to
strike at 5 am Sunday through a
broad area bounded by st. Louis, Chi
cago, Buffalo. Washington, Norfolk,

cluding the New England States.
We want one contract to cover all
OF the employees" said S. R. Harvey.
assistant president of the union. who
announced the order. Most of the
Brotherhood's members are railroad
employees.
This strike threat does not involve
any refusal Of the company to nego-
tiate as to wages. hours and working
conditions, countered S. r. Sund-
strom, president of Pennsylvania Grey-
mound, in letter to employees. THE
company stands ready to negotiate.
What is the purpose. then, of the
strike? Is it to tie up bus operations
and drive our passengers to our COM
petitors for the benefit of railway
employees"
A company spokesman said the
Pennsylvania Railroad owns so per
cent of the stock of PENNSYLVANIA
Greyhound. The New York Central
Railroad owns half Of Central Grey

There is little or no railroad finan-
cial interest, the spokesman said. in
other Greyhound systems affected by
the order, the Ohio, Capital, Eastern,

5000 other Greyhound employees we're
not affected by the strike order.

EXCESS RESERVES
Up 50 MILLIONS
Continue Advance in Week
as Result of Credit
Easing Program.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The Federal Reserve Board said the
supply of lendable bank funds climbed
s30,0o0,00O during the week ended
October to $1,000, 900.
These funds of member banks In
the Reserve system, commonly termed
excess reserves" have been on the
upward trend since September,
primarily as result of new credit
easing program, drafted by the Reserve
Board and the Treasury.
Excess reserves provide the founda-
ton for credit expansion, and their
supply thus may exert a powerful in
1uence on interest rates.
In line with its "easy money" poll
icy, the Reserve Board has endeavored
to keep these funds at high level.
The increase in excess reserves dur
ing the week ended October 6 was
traceable to a $4,000 900 decline In
Treasury deposits with Federal Re-
serve banks. Part Of the funds with
drawn from the Reserve institutions
presumably flowed into the commercial
banking structure.
Money in circulation increased $40.
100000 during the week to $3.50 .ooo,-
600. This increase attended to re-
ouce banks supplies Of idle funds and
partially offset the Treasury's with
draWal of balances from the Reserve
banks.
The Reserve Board said its holdings
OF Government securities remained un-
changed during the week at s2.52s 900.
Changes in member bank reserve
balances and related items during the
