LONDON, June 3O.-Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain announced today
that the House of Commons Commit
tee on Privileges had decided that a
special military court committed q
breach of privilege in summoning
Duncan Sandys to tell where he got
secret anti-aircraft defense data.
The army court, constituted to find
and plug the leak, already had bowed
to the House in stirring conflict
between Parliament and army-a
quarrel which raised the possibility
that the Chamberlain government
might stand or fall on the outcome
The prime minister is member OF
the Committee on Privileges which
examined one phase of the con-
troversy-the summoning of Mr..
Sandys, a Conservative M. p, to ap-
pear as a second lieutenant in the
territorial army to answer questions.
No Action Recommended.
The committee did not recommend
further action in reporting its unani-
nous finding through the Prime Min
lister.

leges Committee-makes its report.
War Secretary Leslie Hore-Belisha.
around whom the storm swirled, went
before Commons to state his position.
He said that information which Mr.
Sandys had obtained showed that
he was not only conversant with de-
tails of Britain'S secret anti-aircraft
defense scheme, but has kept up to
date on changes.
Extremely Concerned.
1--WE are extremely concerned that
Sandys should have been in posses
sion of such information" Mr.. Hore-
Belisha went on, referring to docu-
ment which he said had fallen into
the youthful Conservatives hands.
The document was an emergency
plan of defense of the air officer COM
manding in chief, drawn up in April"
the minister said. 1T contained
emergency directions, showing the
exact dispositions to be taken by our

provided.
1T is a document of highest secrecy.
I saw the prime minister on the morn
ing of June %. He told me in view
of the grave importance of the matter
to lay the facts before the attorney
general"
Another Officer Appears.

Winston Churchill, was not present
when the military court met today,

and a minimum Of unnecessary
arm and leg waving.
Having mastered the four sim
pie edges, one is now ready for the
change of edge or serpentine.
ARE YOU DIZZY?
Beginning at the middle,
strangely enough, one takes off
on the outside edge of the right
blade as if planning to make a
figure 8. But halfway around on
the middle circle, instead of COM
pleting it, one switches from the
outside edge of the skate to the
inside edge. This starts the top
circle, which must be completed
with no additional push. Then
strike out on the inside edge OF
the other skate to complete the
unfinished middle circle, continu-
ing, after a shift to the outside
edge, until the bottom circle and
the figure Is finished.
Are you dizzy? Console yourself
if YOU can, with the thought that
it's 20 times more difficult to dc
than to read about. For those
with a mathematical mind, the
serpentine might be reduced to
this simple formula: One-half cir
Gle outside plus full circle inside
plus one-half circle inside plus full
circle outside. That's the recipe
for a good serpentine.
Chief fault in making this grace
full elementary figure is to form 9
central ellipse instead Of a circle

Often the top and bottom circles

Guilty in retaining momentum.
When losing speed. remember to
press down hard with the heel Of
the skate for additional impetus.
The serpentine is made much
more difficult, as if one didn't
have troubles enough by this
time, when it is done in reverse
as the backward change of edge.
But take heart, even the best
skaters have been known to give
a scratchy performance on the
serpentine in reverse.

Figure skating is very much
like geometry. In order to solve
the complex problems, one must
first learn the simple axiomS.
From the elementary curves,
turns and loops, the figure skater
weaveS a more complicated pat
tern as his skill increases.
Yesterday, the simple figure 8
performed on the outside edge
of the forward-moving skate was
described. In addition, the be-
ginner must learn to make a
figure on the forward inside
edge, on the backward outside
edge, and or the backward inside
edge of his skate before he can
go on to the next progressive fig.
ure. If one skipS them, trouble
will develop later.
FAULTS TO AVOID
In performing on the -four
simple edges" certain faults are to
be avoided. Never use more than
one stroke Of the free foot in
order to start from rest. In the
push-off, don't strike with the
toe of the free foot, but with the
full side of the blade.
Be sure the circles in the figure
8 are round and not oblong. Anc
by all means. don't lift the bal
ance leg high in the air as though
doing a Nijinsky leap. All move
ments should be as unaffected ant
simple as possible.
