&c and in a French government
communique last week.
To de Gaulle's statement that the
cease-fire order was issued to
French troops in Syria May 80,
Churchill replied that fighting con-
tinued into the morning of the next
day. Besides, he said, the French
government did not advise the Bri-
fish government that cease-fire
order had been issued, SO British
forces were ordered to intervene
and stop the bloodshed.
Countering deGaulle's charge
that Britain had stirred up agita-
ton in the Levant states, Church
ill said ''our whole influence has
been used precisely in the other
direction" The British minister at

TECHNICALLY MAY
FREE DIR. MEADOWS

GREENvILLE, N. c., June s.
Possibility that a legal techni-
cality might delay the second trial
of DR.. Leon R. Meadows on charg-
es of embezzlement and false pre-
tense arose here tonight as attor-
neys studied Supreme Court rul-
ings on former jeopardy, a plea in
jected yesterday by the defense.
Whether Superior Court Judge
Clawson L. Williams was within
his authority when he opened a
civil term several days before the
end of Meadows first trial at a
special criminal term, was the is.
sue. Williams, who presided dur
ing the first trial, which ended in
mistrial in March, opened a civil
term on March 10, four days be.
fore the end of the Meadows trial.
Chief Defense Counsel Albion
Dunn contended in his plea yester.
day that such action had the effect
of an acquittal for Meadows and
therefore his client could not be
retired on a charge of which he
had been freed. Former jeopardy
is prevented under both the Fed
eral and State constitutions.
Although none of the interested
attorneys would speak for publica.
ton, the opinion was freely ex
pressed that should Judge ]. Pau,
Frizzelle, presiding over the cur.
rent special term. rule against the
defendants plea tomorrow, the
technically Immediately would be
taken to the State Supreme Cour1
under a writ of prohibition.
Should Judge Frizzelle allow the
plea, Meadows would automatical
ly be discharged. Should he ruie
that Judge Williams was within his
authority in continuing to preside
over the Meadows trial, but with
out authority over the civil, term
then the question would arise
whether judgements rendered If
the civil term would be legal.
On the other hand, should the
former jeopardy plea be taken i'm
mediately to the Supreme Court
there is probability that thu
Meadows trial will be postponed
until the Supreme Court h n d
down its ruling, attorneys agreed

DENMARK INVITED
into CONFERENCE
CONTINUED from Page One)

Today's meeting of the executive
committee-the delegation heads OF
IA leading nations followed an
early morning meeting of the
American delegation. Discussion at
the committee session revolved
around the debatable point OF
whether the steering committee can
do more than discuss and make
recommendations on questions re.
ferred to it, or whether it has the
power to decide issues.
The executive committee now is
confronted with several issues on
which working committees have
reached decisions, but on which the
minority has appealed" to the ex.
ecutive committee for further con-
sideration.
There was final, general agree
ment today that the rules of con-
ference permit reference to the
steering or executive committees OF
such issues, but that neither of
those committees is court of ap-
peal. In other words, their function
is limited to consideration and re-
referral of the issue under consid-
GRAFTON back. to the committee, or
its governing commission, with
recommendations.
The executive committee meets
again Wednesday morning to con-
consider, among other matters,
the method of electing a secretary
general for the proposed world
conference and election of his
deputies as well as the power Of
these functionaries.

ham and Sarah, was a rather color
less character, hen-pecked by his
wife Rebecca and deceived by his
son Jacob. He represents what we
may call the bridge-type in a family
line, merely connecting a strong
father with a strong son.
He had twin sons, Jacob and
Esau The latter was a rough
turbulent, out-of-doors man. His
crafty brother, Jacob, stole his
birthright, and ever after went in
fear of his wronged brothers ven-
geance. Jacob is a colorful char
acter In the Old Testament.
Then, at a turning point in life,
and in the family history, he came
to grips with God, and was thence
forth a changed man. The story of
how his life was transformed Is one
of the most thrilling in all litera-
ture. 1t is the story of what may
happen to you and me If we are
but willing to have it happen.
