Fine for Speeding Reduced

The "sniper's" activities have

Although Traffic Court Judge
John P. Mcmahon had already
placed fine of $40 against Thomas

by the sniper reopened the case.
The defendant said he had read
about the phantom activities in the

Murphy's defeat despite the per-

didn't lose because his former

a nickel in one of the neWly-ln-
stalled meters in the 900 block OF
F St. N. w.
While several hundred curious
onlookers crowded about, CommlS-

Ihe jokingly declared to be a

a far-sighted motorist who had
parked prior to 2 p. m. received
the benefit of it.

IN DEBATE HERE'
Lewis Sees Peace Aim;
Laski a Betrayal"

Sir Willmott Lewis, Washing
ton correspondent of the London
Times, and Prof. Harold ]. Laskl,
of the London School Of Eco
.nomics. stood at loggerheads today
on the issue of the Munich accord
reached in September as a means
of avoiding further European con-
fliCt.
The split occurred at the Shore
ham Hotel last night as more than
900 persons thronged the ball.
room for the opening session OF
the fifth annual Town Hall season.
LEWIS SUPPORTS PACT
Supporting the Munich agree
ment, Sir Willmott said:
although the result OF
Munich was not peace, but the
mere shadow of peace. take
the view that this shadow IS
better than the substance OF
war. 1 regard Munich as
genuine attempt to deflect a
general war in the direction OF
amity and peace by negotla-
ton"
Prof. Laski, on the other hand,
asserted of the Munich pact:
1T seems to me definitely a
betrayal of democracy. A brave
democratic power. Czechoslo-
vakia. now has been torn to
pieces and driven into the orbit
of ugly tyranny. And not one
step has been taken by Cham
berlain or Daladier who counte-
nanced that raDe. toward pro
tecting simple human rights"
MODERN "PANDORA's BOX"
Prof. Laski said Prime Minister
Chamberlain opened at Munich a
"Pandora'S box, from which
escaped things so grim that I can
not predict the outcome" He
ventured, however. to forecast in
filtration of Hitler doctrines to
Holland. Belgium and Scandi-
navia while France faces the
peril of fascism."
The speakers found themselves
in agreement on at least one
point-the recent terrorism OF the
Jews in Germany.
IF the horrible events of last
week represent the revised and
strengthened Germany, then the
future is dark indeed" the Lon
don correspondent said.
Prof. Laski went further with
the assertion:
The Germans of last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday are
not a people with whom the
British can cooperate. 4
"You cannot cooperate with
tyranny abroad without sooner
or later becoming Injured to its
practice at home. We already
see it's effects in an enormously
accelerated rearmament pro-
gram what will bring in its wake
neglect of all the social sci
ences that make life livable."

vile; Mrs. Eugene Greenwald and

be taken to hospital for treatment.
All occupants of the car were taken to
Friendsville later Monday evening.
The accident was investigated by Cor
poral Thomas Currie, of the State
police.
