Mai. Brown Ponders
What to Wear at
Party for Royalty

Maj. Ernest w. Brown today
pondered a perplexing question
what to wear to their ma jes-
ties garden party at the British
Embassy the afternoon Of
June 8.
The police superintendent
knows that formal afternoon
dress-top hat, cutaway coat,
striped trousers, still collar, etc.
will be In order, but he also
knows such attire will be I'M
comfortably hot on Z June day
here.
The question is-should a
guest of their majesties defy
the conventions by going to
their party in more comfortable
white trousers, dark coat and
soft shirt?
Maj. Brown is reserving de-
ciSion until he learns whether
there may be some convention
defiers among invited members
Of Congress.

S. tblack-shirted elite guard troops !.
The archbishop was out of town
yesterday on religious mission
when furniture vans drew up to the

out all the furnishings, which were
placed in storage.
Ordered to Move.
The archbishop was notified last
month that the government would
no longer permit him to use the pal
ace which. it was commended, was
the property of the state.
Archbishop Waltz appealed directly
to Chancellor Hitler, asking him to
rescind the order. Hitler took no
action.
Local authorities finally decided
to move out the primate's possess
sions, bag and baggage.
Government photographers pre-
coded the movers who entered the
Archbishop's palace. Pictures were
taken in all rooms. presumably to
forestall any possibility of a con-
tention in the future that some OBJ

The Archbishop returned to SalZ-

to move in. He took temporary
lodging in a seminary. uncertain

BIomes Martin Coon
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, May 3o.-One man
was shot and several beaten in
picket line fighting at one of the
seven strike-bound plants Of the
Briggs Manufacturing Co. shortly
before midnight last night.
Joseph Ferris, 81. vice president
of Local 2l2 of the United Auto
Workers Union &C. I. o., which
called the strike eight days ago, was
shot in the right thigh and leg. He
charged that his assailant was a
member of the Homer Martin COON
squad"
The violence began when a dozen
or more automobiles loaded with
men drove up to one of the picketed
Briggs plants and discharged their
passengers. Fighting between this
group and the pickets began. Police
said baseball bats, blackjacks and
fists were used.
Mr.. Ferris and four fellow union
lists finally gave chase to car filled
with adverSarieS, pursued it some
distance and forced it to stop. In
the ensuing struggle Ferris was shot
He was taken to receiving hospital,
where it was found his thigh was
punctured and the lower part of
his right leg fractured. His condi-
ton was serious.
Another Seriously Hurt.

Der of the C. I. O.'S U. A. w., re-
quired hospital treatment. He said
he was attacked by nine men.
Windows of several automobiles
belonging to pickets were smashed
Police expressed the opinion the
fighting was result of factional bit
terness between the C. I. o. and
Martin U. A. w. organizations and
would have no effect on the peace
negotiations between the strikers
and the company.
Mr.. Martin commended yesterday
in a speech that there is no justi-
fication for the present tragic, ill
timed and costly strike" which he
described as lone of the greatest
plumbers in the history of the labor
movement"
More than 10000 auto workers are
idle as a result of the shortage Of
bodies and other materials ordi-
narily supplied by the Briggs plants
James F. Dewey, Federal labor
conciliator. said he would rule to-
morrow on % claimed grievances
cited by the C. I. o. union in connec-
ton with working conditions in
Briggs plants. Mr.. Dewey has been
accepted by both sides as final arbi-
traitor. Later the question of a new
contract between the company and
the union will be taken up.
The management offered arbi-
tration before the strike was called"
Mr.. Martin observed in criticizing
Emil Macy, president of the Briggs
c. I. o. local. Macy is now forced
to accept arbitration, thereby illus
trating his complete bankruptcy as
leader of labor"
Mr.. Dewey indicated that settle
ment of the so-called grievances
might result in resumption of pro-
duction within a few days.
