This morning Mr.. Boardman asked
Lands If he had made an error In his
previous testimony. He replied in the
Affirmative, and said he was mistaken

He explained this order was served

Lands was asked by Mr.. Hefiin il
he could identify the wrist watch ne
gave to his future wife when she was

The timepiece had been offered in

She kept at it until it was all gone
Then the crowd gradually moved

There were q good many free spec

especially in the district around police
headquarters. The great majority Of
Jews just locked and barricaded their
stores and left the signs on for the
time being. however.
Better wait and see II new signs

raided or Jews beaten. Better to wait
even If that means almost literal

At least three -fourths Of the Jewish
shops in the dictrict around police

still had broken windows. Most had
vile slogans and cartoons daubed on
them.
Only in almost exclusively Jewish

. huddle today to discover means Of
bringing their April l6 accord into
effect before the end of the war in
Spain.
Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano and the Earl of Perth, Britain's s
Ambassador, met at noon to consider
such possibilities.
The accord, signed at Rome the
day before Easter, does not come into
effect until Italian troops are with
drawn from Spain, presumably after
the end Of the war.
Part Of Pact May Be Used.
As the prolongation OF the war has
held this up. one suggestion put for
ward in diplomatic quarters was that
Britain might consent to let that part
OF the accord dealing with general
Mediterranean peace begin to function
as soon as Italian troops retired from
the fighting fronts, but not necessarily
from Spain
The initiative for the new plan ap-
pears to come from Italy. which made
the April l6 pact in the belief the
Spanish government would collapse
before the end of April.
Charges that fresh Soviet Russia n
and French assistance is keeping
government resistance alive have ap-
peared daily In the Italian press,
causing speculation in diplomatic
circles as to whether Premier Mus

Graxiani Inspection Reported.
Such speculations have been re-
inforced by unconfirmed reports that
more men were being prepared for
departure for Spain and that 10 days

viceroy OF Ethiopia, had flown to
Salamanca. the insureent capital. to
make an inspection for II Duce.

has been deceived
Through all of this it, of course
was Mr.. Lang's task to keep his melo-
drama leaning toward drama and
away from tawdry tear-jerking, and
you may be assured he performed his
task well. He even has managed to
make it almost convincing in that
scene where bunch of the boys bite
the hand that's feeding them, only
to be met in the store by its owner and
told to stop all this foolishness and be
on the job at 8 o'clock in the morning.
1t also is almost convincing when Miss
Sidney goes to the blackboard and
shows the boys just how little they
would make for themselves on their

Even if the tale of love and a hidden
parole card is only almost convincing
most of the time, those seriously inter-
ested in motion pictures will find much
to their liking in Mr.. Lang's handling
of the yarn, in his use of fantasy,
aided by the WE'LL music, in the way
he uses his cameras, and in his de-
partures from the ordinary in an at
