LONDON, May 4.-The Houses OF

blank ammunition, fireworks and
smoke pots. peers, commoners, gov
ernment officials and members of
the press gallery were routed by
/ 500 British soldiers impersonating
German parachute troops after a
struggle through the miles of cor
ridors of the historic buildings.
The invaders stormed Westmin-
ster Palace under cover of smoke
screen and gained a bridgehead in
spite of the heavy fire of the de-
tenders.
Frequent hand-to-hand encoun-
ters, in which peers grappled with
privates, occurred in the mock fight
which extended over several blocks
of the Westminster area.
Fashionable Park Lane, Hyde
Park and st. James Park were the
scenes of fierce guerrilla battles u
with the action particularly heavy
around Victoria Station. In the
end the invaders were forced to
bypass that bastion of the defend
erS.
The exercise started Saturday and
the last shots were not fired until

By the Associated Press.

degree murder charge was filed to-
day against George w. Welsh, jr.,
after a Circuit Court Judge had
dismissed an indictment charging
him with the butcher Staying of his
24-year -old sister, Leila.

City beauty queen, was found in the
bedroom Of her Southside home

ment was attacked in defense mo-
tions to quash and a plea in abate-
ment argued before Judge Emory H.
Wright April II after a hearing in
which manylof the grand jurors were
called to the stand.
= John T. Barker, Welsh attorney,
charged that the indictment was
invalid ebcause the grand jury acted
both as judge and prosecutor. estab-
lished its own private detective force
and Illegally spent county funds. He
also contended Attorney General
Roy McKittrick intervened illegally

ment on plea Of abatement, hold
ing that the actions of the grand

lied and its conduct Illegal"

nesses by members of the Jury out
side the jury room, employment of
detectives and use of county funds
by the jurors in carrying on the in
veStigation were in violation of the
statutes.

indictment against the 28-year- -old
youth after long investigation.
The indictment was dismissed on
motion of young Welsh's attorneys
that it was invalid on the grounds
that the grand jury's conduct in

The first air battle over the area
of Iceland, the United States-gar-
risoned base in the North Atlantic.
between a lone long-range German
bomber and Morse airmen was re-
ported by American Army officials

The German plane, although
damaged by a stream of bullets
poured into its fuSelage by the
Norwegian plane, escaped into a
cloud bank and It's destruction was
not confirmed.
The Norwegians spotted the Ger
man bomber at sea and Immediately
closed in, opening fire. Tracer bull
lets showed that their second burst
found its mark, but the bomber
dived to within 100 feet of the sea
and got away in a thick cloud.
The Norwegian crew searched the
area without result and returned to
base unhurt.
There was nothing in the official
report to suggest whether the Ger
man was engaged in routine patrol
OF the sea in search of Allied ship
ping or on more important
mission.

Points 10 Censorship Peril
BY the Associated Press.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, May A.
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, referring to
existing censorship, said yesterday
that never before was the RESPONSE
bility Of newspapers as great as at
this moment"
Speaking at the rededication of
historic st. Paul's Church as the
Hhttuenf Freedom of tbs. Press the
pubaisntr ofsthe New York Times
said: ~
Never before in this country has
'lsess been such a concentration Of:
power as now exists in Washington.
The temptation is always present to
use censorship-once it is developed
first to soften the impact of bad
news and finally, to cover the in
efficiency Of Government bureaus
and personnel. That is no reflection
upon any one in Washington. It is
merely a recognition that those who
are there are human, and that
power is heady wine.
IF in our belief, a battle was
bungled, ship lost for apparently
careless reasons, and If the story is
not told, as in some instances 1t
has not been, for how long will We
who may know the facts-obey these
rules of censorship-rules that we
have helped to maker"
Mr.. Sulzberger said "only by con-
slant vigilance can we preserve
among ourselves the liberties that
we defend against others"

Dining out of doors has become
a custom in Washington during the
long evenings which are too de-
lightful to be wasted indoors.
Many Washingtonians have de-
veloped outdoor dining and living

There are available in the stores
many varieties of cooking apparatus
that are neither expensive nor cum
bersome which solve the problem
of hot food. A neat little charcoal
grill that reposes on four legs just
reaching chair arm height is as
simple as it can be for grilled steaks
and chops. A child can operate it.
This same little grill may be
folded up and taken on picnics, or
may be set up in the fireplace in
