Red Tape PeriIs
Dogs Legacy
|Of $1,000
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
BALTIMORE, Aug. II. - These
are dog days in Maryland legal cir
cles-the law says little lapdog
named Flossie must get registered
letter and sign for it, but doesn't
say how.
John H. Bouse, register of wills in
Baltimore city. sees his duty, but
doesn't know how to do 1t and he
prepared today to toss the Flossie
cause celebre into the lap of States
Attorney William c. Walsh for an
official decision.
Flossie was the devoted compan-
ion of Mrs. Mary r. Herman, who
died and in her will set up a $4,000
trust fund to insure the care of her
pet.
But Maryland probate law speci-
fes the register of wills must advise
any legatee by registered mail Of his
legacy, and the legatee must sign
for the letter.
Mr.. Bouse can think Of only two
solutions: Maybe a guardian can
be appointed with powers to sign
for Flossie's mandatory mail, or
Flossie's paw print on the receipt
may be accepted for her "X."

GENEVA, Aug. 1.-THE League

published a report to the Council
today showing that four members

Britain holds the Holy Land

A final decision on recommended
tions to be transmitted to Britain

The report was considered a vic
tory by delegates to the world Zion
ist Congress, meeting in Geneva to
plan campaign for continuance of
the Jewish national home in Pales-
tine despite the British government s
new policy.
The Mandates Commission re-
ported unanimously that the new
policy was not in accord with the
Interpretation that had previously

Flying Blocks Threaten
Scores as New British
Carrier Breaks Free
By the Associated Press.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland. Au-
gust 17-One woman was killed and
20 persons injured today when
Britain's newest aircraft carrier, the
23,000-ton Formidable, burst her
supporting cradle and made run
away launching into Belfast Lough.
The SIS 100000 vessel slid into the
water prematurely, hurting blocks of
wood supporting her keel among
thousands of persons who had gath
cred for her formal launching.
Just as Lady Agnes Wood, wife
of Air Minister Sir Kingsley Wood.
got to the launching platform the
vessel broke away in some unex-
planned manner and began to move
down the ways.
Lady Wood managed to break the
traditional bottle of wine on the
receding bows, but that was all.
Scores of shipwrights, who were
below the vessel to act in freeing
her at given signal, raced to safety
as the cradle crashed about them.
Tugs which had been grouped at
the end of the ways to take the
carrier in tow maneuvered fran
tlcally to get out of the way of
the runaway" vessel, their sirens
screaming.
The bandmaster of the Royal
Ulster Constabulary shared Lady
Woods presence of mind and struck
up Rule Britannia" just as if the
launching had been on schedule.
The formal christening service by
assembled clergymen was carried
out after the injured had been taken
away.
The Formidable will house more
than so warplanes and mount 1e

|. T.. T.. Fixes Bases
For Dividing Joint
Railway Rates
Southern Lines to Get
Is Per Cent More
Than Northern Roods
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission today prescribed bases for
divisions of joint rates among rail-
roads participating in shipments be-
tween the North and South and
North and Southwest.
Southern carriers will receive ap-
proximately Is per cent more. mile
for mile, than Northern carriers,
while Southwestern carriers will re-
ceive about IS per cent more, mile
for mile, than Northern carriers.
The new bases, officials said, are
not entirely comparable to the pres
ent methods of dividing joint rates.
They declared, however. there would
be no important change in the
amount of revenue received by the
carriers in the three territories.
Mahaffie Dissents.
The North. known technically as
official territory, includes the area
north of the Ohio River and east of
the Mississippi River, Southern ter
ritory is south of the Ohio and east
OF the Mississippi, while the South
west is south of the Missouri River
and west of the Mississippi.
Commissioner Charles D. Mahaffie
wrote dissenting opinion. in which
he was joined by Commissioner
Claude R. Porter, in the North
South case.
while I am convinced the high
er operating costs warrant higher
divisions for the Southern than for
the Northern lines, I consider the
Is per cent imitation on commodi-
ties generally, approved by the ma
jority, too great Mr.. Mahaffie said
Twenty per cent would, in my
opinion, be a maximum figure"
Caskie, Allredge Agree.
Commissioner Marion M. Caskie
said, however, he thought the
Southern carriers should receive
about As per cent more than the
Northern carriers. Commissioner J
Haden Allredge shared Mr.. Caskie's
view.
Officials explained the changes
had no effect on the general pub
lie, but concerned only the division
of rates among carriers in the three
sections.
