England Are
Continuing

London, Feb 4.-(AP)-A bomb ex-
1losion which wrecked the headquar-
ters of the Torquay Conservative Club
in Devonshire sent Scotland Yard ex-
perts to England's south coast today
in a widening search for suspected
Irish terrorists.
The explosion occurred at 3 p. m.
after the houses of Parliament had
been barred to visitors as a precau-
ton, and police had announced dis
covery of important secret clues to a
wave of bombings attributed to the
anti-British Irish republican army
Police tore up the floor boards and
ripped open the walls of the three
story political headquarters, but failed
to find any clue to the blast, which
blew the sleeping seaside resort town
into turmoil.
Sir Thomas Moore, a conservative
member of Parliament, announced he
would propose legislation in the

Attitude Of

Washington
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press CnIumniSt

Washington, Feb. 4-Inasmuch as
(from all official accounts) Uncle Sam
is 100 per cent determined to keep
out of the next overseas war, what
the heck does he care as to the vari-
Gus other countries respective abilities
to stand the wear and tear of the
certainly threatening impending ma
jor foreign conflict, in the spring or
thereabouts?
Well, he does care, anyway.
One hears plenty of speculation on
the subject in state, war and navy
departmental circles. It is not mere
academic curiosity, either. 1t is based
on the supposition that Uncle Samuel
will not be able to stay on the side
lines in the event of fresh big clash
in the old world-not if the rumpus
is very long continued.
This coming war, if it eventuates,
manifestly will start between the
totalitarians Germany, Italy and
maybe JAPAN and the European DEM
ocracies (Britain and France)
Unprepared, Vacillating?
Now, it is common talk that Britain
and France are militarily, navally and
aerially unprepared in comparison
with Germany and Italy. It likewise is

No additional judges were provided,
but some members thought there
were. Mr.. Null was explaining his bill
when questions began popping ali
over the House.
Speaker Libby Ward motioned for
one of his chief lieutenants, John
Caffey, and whispered to him: "Get

speaker put Pat Kinney into action
too, and Pat is definitely not lone Of

For a few minutes the Sedc-te legis-
lative hall had all the appearance OF

ayers on the job. Mr. Null finished his

The main question now is: Did the
