MacPhail, president of the New
York Yankees, is scheduled to ap-
pear in Bel Air Police Court next
Tuesday to answer charges of as
sault and battery and disorderly
conduct.
Warrants against MacPhail were
sworn out by Mrs. Anna Towner,
chief operator of the Bel Air Tele-
phone Exchange; Thomas Dwyer,
manager of the telephone Office,
and Police Chief Raymond Fulker.
They alleged MacPhail went too far
in complaining that he had not been
able to place a long distance call
from his showplace, Glenangus
Farm, near here, during the four
hour work stoppage of phone en-
ployes Friday.
MacPhail, who was arrested yes
terday and posted 1854 bond, would
not comment.
Chief Fulker said he and the
county sheriff served Mr.. MacPhail
with warrants containing two
charges of assault and battery and
one of disorderly conduct.

don Conference of Foreign Ministers.
The affable Secretary Byrnes, at
home in the committee room, filled
in the blank spaces of his Friday
night radio report to the Nation.
Talked Senatorial Language.
Members said he gave them about
the frankest, most detailed descrip-
ton of what went on behind the
scenes at London that they had ever
received about any conference.
Talking senatorial language, Mr.
Byrnes was reported to have gotten
down to the brass tacks of what he
said to Russian Foreign Commissar
Molotov and what Mr.. Molotov
replied.
The Senators liked the report.
And they liked Secretary Byrnes'
action in permitting the conference
to end in outward failure because
he would not agree to exclude France
and China from discussions OF pro-
posed European treaties.
La Toilette Commends Action.
AS examples of their comment to
-eporters:
Senator La Toilette. Progressive,
of Wisconsin. often critical of ad-
ministration foreign policy, said
Secretary Byrnes was to be COM
mended for having made every
effort to reach an agreement, short
of compromising fundamental prin-
ciples."
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia, said he believed the entire
committee approved of Secretary
Byrnes' course at London.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of ILL
nois, asserted: He has my COM
plete Support"
Next Move Up to Russia.
Committee members came away
from the meeting with the impress
sion that the next move is up to
Russia, and that Secretary Byrnes
remains hopeful of a later agree
ment.
The Secretary said in his radio
speech last week that as the record
stands Mr.. Molotov had not re-
jected an American proposal for
a general peace conference at which
all the directly involved Allies
would participate.
Senators got the idea that this
is being mulled over in Moscow
and that there might be something
coming out of that capital soon.
Argentina Discussed Briefly.
The Argentine situation reported
ly was discussed only briefly.
Some members had complained
that the State Department acted
hastily and single-handedly in get
ting the Rio de Janeiro Inter Amer
ican Conference, scheduled for Oc-
tober 20, called off.
Mr.. Byrnes was reported to have
defended this course.
The committee will talk some
more about this phase of foreign
relations when it meets again to-
morrow to consider the nomination
Iof Spruille Braden, former Ambas-
sador to Buenos Aires, to be As
sistant Secretary of State.
Meanwhile, the military regime
in Argentina appears the loser in a
shrewd attempt to gain prestige by
taking advantage of weakened unity
among the great powers.
A bid by Juan Peron, dictator and
vice president of Argentina, for rec
ognition by Russia is reported on
excellent authority to have been re-
buffed coldly by Moscow.
