The National Gentle Leagues
plans for a three-day rally next

not permit its use by an organiza-
ton that, according to it's letterhead

of American citizens.
Application for use of the area

at which well-known speakers will
address the assembly" was filed bv
Donald Shea, identified on the sta
tionery as director of the league s

Favorable Decision

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 30.-The Gov
eminent expected to complete today
its case against former Federal
Judge Martin T. Manton. accused OF
selling justice for brides aggregating
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The last major witness against
Manton, who is charged with bribery
and conspiracy to obstruct justice
was Almon B. Hall, Connecticut
chicken farmer. Mr.. Hall testified
yesterday that $4,000 once was
quoted to him as the price for a
favorable decision in an incubation
patent suit he had pending in Man
tons court.
The quotation, he said, was made
by William J. Fallon, Manton S
business agent, and later reduced to
100000 Fallon has pleaded guilty
to conspiracy indictment.

Manton, as the receipt he said he
received in deal for a favorable
decision from the jurist. Mr. Hall
was expected to complete his story
today, concluding the Government S
presentation.
A surprise witness yesterday was
Albert U. Chaperau, ex-convict and
pseudo diplomat, who was exposed
recently as the central figure in a
jewelry smuggling conspiracy involv-
ing Comedians Jack Benny and
George Burns.
Chaperau, whose name the prose-
cutlon said had cropped up unex-
pectedly in Manton's financial rec
ords, testified he had heard George
M. Spector, Manton's co-defendant
and alleged contact" man, boast of
putting over a deal to fix and

Two in Jail for Year Moved
As Lock Is Found Jimmied

Two men, serving approximately
year each, were removed to an
other cell at the District Jail last
night after guards discovered the
lock on their cell door had been
tempered with.
Thomas M. Rives, superintendent
at the jail, said there had been no
disturbance. The guards simply
transferred the men, he said, after
noting that one bolt in the lock was
loose. He said an investigation
would be made.
The men, who shared a cell, were
identified as George Stuart and John
G, Wilson. Stuart, who is serving
800 days on several concurrent false
pretences sentences, was recently
found in possession of a substance
which was sent to the Narcotics
Bureau on suspicion of morphine,
the Superintendent said. Wilson is
serving a year term.

Much Freer Hand
Seen for President
In Neutrality Plan
Would Lift Restrictions
Placed by Present Law
In Event of Conflict
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
The administrations new neu-
trality program was described by
some Of its proponents today as CIV
ing the President much freer hand
in dealing with international con-
f1icts.
1t still would keep checks on the
conduct of the Government and its
citizens during a foreign war, but
would remove some of the restric-
tons placed on the Chief Executive
under the present law.
The legislation, introduced in the
House yesterday by Representative
Bloom, Democrat, of New York
would repeal the embargo on arms
shipments to belligerents and would
broaden the Presidents discretion
in determining when the neutrality
law should be invoked.
1t would direct the President to
apply the act only after he has
determined that foreign conflict
"endangers the lives of citizens of
the United States and threatens
the peace of" this country.
The act then would impose GER
tain safeguards designed to dimin-
ish the United States chances of
being involved in the war. Amer
lean supplies, including arms, could
be shipped to warning nations only
If the title had been transferred
to the belligerent. American ships
and citizens would be banned from
danger zones.
Representative Bloom described
the bill as giving 1000 per cent
more protection than present neu-
trallty legislation. AS acting chair
man. he called the House Foreign
Affairs Committee to meet Thursday
and predicted consideration of his
measure would not take long.
Informed sources said the House
leadership had swung into action
behind the bill, virtually assuring
vote in that chamber and greatly
enhancing its chances of passage
Opposition came quickly, however,
from Representative Fish of New
York, ranking minority member of
the Foreign Affairs Committee, who
said
The actual result of Secretary
Hull's program. if carried into effect,
would be to make the United States
the slaughter house and arsenal for
arms, ammunition and implements
of war for all nations, and par
ticularly for Great Britain, which
1 controls the seas.
Its future in the Senate, however
| appeared uncertain. Senator La
Toilette, Progressive. of Wisconsin,
predicted it would bring lot of
legitimate debate both in the COM
mittee and on the Senate floor
Senator Pepper. Democrat, of
Florida, an administration supporter,
! suggested that now would be a
! good time to act because there is a
hull in affairs abroad and we could
not be accused of seeking to dis
criminate against any country"
He declared there is no reason
why Congress should not stays in
session until the legislation is passed

King George TO Make
Fourth Speech in
Victoria Today
Royal Visitors Receive
Enthusiastic Welcome
In British Columbia
By the Associated Press.

VICTORIA, British Columbia,
May 30.-The ears of the British
Empire were attuned to this Old
World English city at the far west
ern tip of Canada because the King
Emperor, George vi, was to make
his fourth public utterance of his
North American tour
Queen Elizabeth has captivated
the hearts of Canada by her charm,
but the King has made significant
statements at Quebec. at Ottawa
and in his Empire Day broadcast
from Winnipeg. Each speech broke
precedents in the frankness with
which the British sovereign dis
cussed British relations with the
United States
With every word and gesture Of
the King and Queen assuming i'm
portance, significance already has
been attached to the fact that yes
terday King George wore for the
first time in North America his uni
form as chief of the British Air
Force. In Vancouver and Victoria
SSiiVSl Soilodd D iiCW dll OClCllot Oc~
velopment.
On the scenic water route from
Vancouver to Victoria yesterday the
King and Queen saw Mount Baker
and other towering peaks in the
State Of Washington which DOM
mate the run.
The royal travellers saw little San
Juan Island, famous for the pig
which almost caused a war between
the United States and Great Britain.
Seventy-five years ago both Britain
and the United States claimed San
Juan, whereupon an American shot
a British pig for trespassing."
Troops and more troops prepared for
action from both sides. with fleets
ready to join in. In the end calm
minds prevailed and settlement was
reached.
With the symbolism of modern
monarchy, King George changed
the grayish-blue of his air force uni
form for the blue of an admiral's,
and in this he travelled, with Queen
Elizabeth, the SO miles from VAN
couver to rest last night at Govern
ment House, built like a great Eng
fish country estate overlooking the
old harbor of Victoria.
