 DEPT. SOUGHT
Finance Board to Take Up Matter - Walker to
 Be Present

Transfer of funds to allow con tinued operation of the street de- partment would be taken up by the board of finance at a meeting late this afternoon, Mayor Patrick M, Perriello said today.

 According to Prosecuting Attorney Michael J, Galullo, who read the statute with emphasis on the punc- tuation, the word supplies Is not followed by comma, and Is there- for part of the phrase pertaining to motor vehicles, motorcycles, motor boats and aircraft,
 Attorney Guilfoile said that the law was made when Sunday was Q day of rest, but that the law should now keep step with modern times, He said also that chain store man. agers went to Prosecutor Galullo with the complaint of meat sales on Sunday.

Lord Lothian Visits
State Department as
Britain S New Envoy
Thinks Hope for Peace
Are Brighter, Europe
Not Out Of Woods YET

Lord Lothian, successor to Sir
Ronald Lindsay as British Ambas-
sador to the United States, paid a
preliminary visit to Secretary Of
State Hull this morning before pre-
senting his credentials formally to
President Roosevelt later in the day.
The Ambassador told reporters he
believed the outlook for peace in
Europe was a bit brighter now than
it was a few days ago, although I'VE
are not out of the woods yet"
Although he was closeted with
the Secretary for more than half
an hour, Lord Lothian would not
comment on their conversation ex-
cept to say that it was a general
discussion. The official purpose of
tho call was for the new Ambassador
to present copies of his credentials
to Secretary Hull before the ofIlcial
ceremony at the White House this
afternoon.
While Lord Lothian was talking
with Secretary Hull the French Am
bassador, Count de Saint Quentin.
was conferring with Undersecretary
OF State Sumner Welles. The two
Ambassadors met in the State De-
partment reception room afterward,
chatted informally and posed for
news photographers.
Lord Lothian, who probably knows
this country better than any Am
bassador who ever has represented
the crown here, arrived late yester-
day, coming down Immediately from
New York where he had landed
from the Aquitania a few hours
earlier.
Greeting the envoy were George
T. Summerlin, chief of the Pro-
tocol Division Of the State Depart
ment; V. A. L. Mallett, counsellor
OF the British Embassy, and other
members of the embassy staff.
Lord Lothian, in bantering mood.
posed for cameramen in the recep-
ton room at the Union Station.
For the benefit of newsreels, he re-
peated part of formal statement
given out in New York in which he
declared that when he left England
last Wednesday public opinion "was
then already consolidated behind
the conviction that unless resistance
were made to any further attempt
to renake the map of Europe by vio-
lence and the destruction of the in
dependence Of free nations, interna-
tional life would become intolerable
for everybody"
He plans press conference after
presenting his credentials at the
White House.
