Steel Worker CHARGED
With Shooting Into
Home Of king's Sister
Also Is Accused
Of Firing Shots Near
Duchess of Kent
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June l3.-Ledwedge
Vincent Lawlor, an eccentric middle
aged steel worker, today was ordered
held for trial at Old Bailey on
charges of firing shots near the
Duchess of Kent and into the home
of the princess royal.
Prosecutors at his hearing before
a magistrate accused him OF riding
about on a bicycle with a sawed of
rifle near the residences of the Brit
ish royal family and twice pulling
the trigger.
Lawlor, an Australian, contended
through his attorney, however. that
he had mo intention of causing any
harm"
Specific accusations against him
were firing through the window of
the home of the princess royal, sister
OF King George and wife of the Earl
OF HarWood, on June 4, and one day
later shooting his rife near the
Duchess of Kent, the Kings sister,
ln-laW, as she was leaving her Bel
grave Square home.
The attorney for the defendant
said Lawlor was eager to let the pub
lie know at the first opportunity
that he had no desire or intention
OF causing harm or injury at either
OF these places and had no designs

on any member of the royal family

al All.
His motive, however, remained a
mystery. Immediately after pro-
claiming the absence of criminal in
tention, Defense Solicitor Leslie
Marks said: Il don't think it desira-
BILE to say any more at this stage"
He entered q formal plea OF inno-
cence but did not disclose details of
the defense.
Police Prosecutor H. A. K. Morgan
said Lawlor, who had been working
on Waterloo Bridge as welder's as
sistant, had come to Britain April 6.
The first charge against the
prisoner was that he did on June S
at Belgrave Square (where the Kent
residence is located) have in his
possession a flrearm and ammuni-
ton with intent by means thereof
to endanger life or cause serious in
jury to property contrary to the
firearms act of 1887"
The prosecutor told the magis-
trate today that 81 rounds of am
munition for the seized 1-foot- long
saWed-of rifle were found in Law
lor's possession, together with 10
airgun pellets One thousand more
pellets were found at Lawlor's lodg-
ings, the prosecutor declared
A bullet hole was found in a win
dow of the residence of the princess
royal and her husband. the Earl of
Harewood, on the same day the
shooting took place in Belgrave
Square. Apparently it was made
on the night of June 4.

ter results could have been obtained
by doing certain work under pri-
vate contract, Col. Harrington said
he regarded it as misleading" that
the method Of contract operation
mad been held up in testimony as
a uniform paragon of efficiency"
L am perfectly willing to con-
cede without argument that it
would have been possible" he said,
to have taken the amount of
money that has been spent upon
our construction program and Sc
cured more results in the way of
finished work, which, of course, is
equivalent to saying that our unit
costs could have been reduced. The
ef1ect OF this would inevitably have
been that the cost in Federal funds
OF each worker on the program
would have been greatly increased
ana mat with the same amount of
money much smaller
volume of employment would have
been secured"
AS TO testimony concerning the
w. P. AS relationship with the
workers Alliance, he denied the
Alliance was the sole bargaining
agency for relief workers and ex-
pressed belief that representations
that the Alliance was a "subversive"
influence had been considerably
exaggerated
No Improper Request.
Il can certainly say" he added
that so far as my personal deal
lngs have been concerned, no i'm
proper request has been presented
to me by that organization and mo
demand has been made of me as q
demand"
Ihere was an air of mystery about
the workings of the repor1cdly
drafted restriction committeeman
said was aimed at organizational
activities.
The provision, which they said
was drafted as an additional safe
guard against use of Federal relief
money for aliens, was described as
inclusive enough to meet situations
which the Investigating Subcom-
mite has developed at its hearings
into general expenditures by w.
p. A.
How it could apply specifically,
they did not say.
The subcommittee yesterday COM
pleted drafting the bill, which fol-
lows generally President Roosevelt's
request for $1,477,000 900.
One subcommittee member pre-
dicted the full Appropriations Com
mittee would make almost no
changes in the items in the relief
request, except to trim the re-
quest for National Youth Admin.

he said Lawlor flourished as an ex-
cuse for his action in Belgrave
Square had on the back of it nota-
tions Of the Belgrave Square address
Of the Kents and the Green street
address of the princess royal.
The prosecutor quoted Lawlor as
explaining that his rifle had jammed
a few days before and he was try
ing to undo it when 1t went off"
The Duchess of Kent and a COM
panion, Lady Portarlington, had
just entered the Duchess automo-
bile, en- route to movie, when the
shot was fired. The car was not

All bridge tournaments serve to
illustrate that even at this well-de-
veloped stage of contract the bid
ding is far from perfect. In one of
the matches of the Vanderbilt tour
nament South, aided and abetted
by some enthusiastic bidding on
the patr of his partner, arrived at
small slam contract missing two
aces. West, who was on lead, decided
against laying down his spade ace
and instead opened diamond
the suit his partner had bid. East
won the first trick with the diamond
ace, returned the suit and now,
strangely enough, the slam could no
longer be defeated.
South, who was quick to take ad-
vantage of his heavens sent oppor-
tunity, simply ran off all seven
Of his trumps. This brought each
player down to four cards, and
West, in order to retain the spade
ace, had to let go of three clubs.
Declarer had kept all four of dunn
nys clubs, and he now played the
ace of clubs, followed with a small
club, f1nessing dunmy's jack, and
won the last two tricks with the
two remaining clubs.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Not long ago Germany launched
o huge battleShip, the Scharnhorst.
Its tonnage is given at $4,000.
Nations have not launched many
battleshtps in late years, so the
Scharnhorst will be an important
vessel in sea warfare which may
come later. 1t will take its place be-
side Germany's three pocket bat
tleships," which really are extra
powerful cruisers, rather than true
battleships.
At about the same time. Great
Britain put a vessel of equal size
into the water. 1t is known as the
King George v, and has tonnage
equal to the new German boat. 1t
takes the place Of dreadnought
of the same name which was built %
years ago.
The King George v was planned
for speed, and to meet dangers of
air attack In one battery it has 16
guns, each with 5-inch barrels The
main battery has 10 guns of 14-inch
caliber. 1t is the first British vessel
of battleship size to be launched
since 1925 An older ship, the Hood
has displacement of 10000 tons.
Germany may lead the world in
the power of its air force, but it
Is far behind in number of battle
ships. Great Britain and the United
States lead all other nations in this
field, with Japan third. France.
italy and Germany are nearly tied
for fourth place. Russia is ranked
seventh in vessels of this kind.

Modern Sea Power
By John Hix
BY Fontoine Fox

"16-inch guns" and are mounted on
four turrets. The turrets may re-
mind us of the "cheesebox" on the
Monitor of Civil War days; the fact
is that Ericsson's idea of a movable
turret has come down to the present
day. Some parts of the Ericsson
plan have been changed, but the
main invention is being used on big
war vessels of all the leading ma
tions. The big guns on the Colorado
can send huge shells a distance of
20 miles.
Besides their battleships large ma
tons have cruisers which take part
in sea fighting. We must also re-
member the submarines, which
played such a strong part in the
World. War.
There has been question as to
whether modern battleship could
stand an attack Of a large fleet of
bombing planes. Whatever is the
answer, the airplane has brought q
great new problem to the navies of
the world.
