More Scofsmen Score
Princess Elizabeth for
Sunday FroIic in Paris
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, May 21.-Another Scot
tish church group rebuked Princess
Elizabeth today for frolicking on
Sunday in Paris. The heiress ap-
parent received support. however,
from the Archdeacon OF. Lewes, Lord
Beaverbrook's Evening Standard
and the London Star.
The general assembly of the Free
Church of Scotland started the
ruckus Wednesday by sending
Prime Minister Attlee resolution
saying Elizabeth and Prince Philip
set bad example by going to the
races and a night club in Paris
Sunday.
Snubbed by Labor Group.
The Scottish Free Presbyterian
Synod of Inverness Joined the pro-
test today.
Without explanation, the Princess
was snubbed today by the Trades
Union Council in Coventry. The
council decided to boycott her visit
here tomorrow to dedicate a public
square. The councils Executive
Committee previously planned to
present representatives to the
Princess.
The Free Presbyterians said they
were profoundly grieved" by the
royal couples Sunday activities.
The Archdeacon of Lewes, the
venerable j. H. L. Morrell, decried
the criticism. Speaking at Hastings
last night, the archdeacon said:
1.-TWO well-loved members of our
royal house, after faithfully doing
their duty by attending divine serv-
ice, for the second part of the day
enjoyed themselves naturally and
normally as people in that country
(France) normally behave, and then
there is an outburst by the Sabba-
tartan people in Scotland. That is
bosh. It is an example of the mud
dle-headed thinking which is be-
coming common among u.s."
The Evening Standard said critics
Of the Princess are stiff necked and

unable to "look down into the faith
omless abyss Of their own folly" The
newspaper said the General Assem-
bly's resolution lacked good taste
and insulted the French people and
government who ''outdid themselves
in effort, courtesy and every mark
of genuine respect and affection"
The Standard said the great ma
jority of Britons approve the Sum-
day program of Elizabeth and her
consort.
The London Star called the criti-
cism "intolerant."
Most British people, we think, will
regret" the church assembly's ac-
ton, the Star said.

What Unity Means

A GOOD friend of labor, Sen "A Ebert Thomas (D.. Utah) ex. plains what he means by labor unity, in an article, ''Nation's La bor Should Unite on Overall Policy Planning" in the current is- sue of North American Labor.
 My idea of unity,'' writes Sen. Thomas, lis unity in battling for those causes which advance the general welfare; and battling in such a way that welfare can be inn proved and not compromised by division at the time the people's representatives are elected.
 ''We only vote once every two years for a Congressman, once every four years for a President and Governor, and once every six years for a Senator. Therefore, if the general welfare should be ad- vanced above that which is enjoyed today, the time for real unity must come on those two, four and six year days. That proposition is so simple that it is apparent to all"
 But it has been ignored more than it has been observed, says Thomas. Labor has ''not gone for ward progressively" but only by fits and starts.''

Jeanette was a Well-proportioned, strong fellow who could box, hit and take 1t. He might have been a cham plon had he not operated in the same period with Jack Johnson and Sam Langford. Joe was handsome, gentle manly and intelligent. Some might have questioned that last one, since he voluntarily fought the dreaded Lang ford Is times. Sam whipped Joe four times on decisions, one by kayo. Joe grabbed two decisions, two draws. The others were no-decision things.
 Jeanette's endurance and game ness were astonishing. Once he fought 49 pounds in Paris, whip ping Sam McVey, another formid- able Negro scrapper of the time. Ills manager gave me this earful:
 Jeanette was knocked down 36 times before McVey collapsed and quit in the 10th. Maybe you think the two of us in JOe's corner didn't work. We lugged our 2OO-pound battler to the corner plenty of times. l believe we were wearier than Joe at the end. Later. they battled 3O-round draw - and neither could score a knockdown!
 II he three of us figured to sleep week when we hit the mattress after the first McVey scrap. However, early next morning Jeanette knocked at the door, asking I'm going out. Anything you boys want at the stores ,"
 There was an amazing Jeanette story after a Langford combat. too:

Johns Is Peeved
With Chief Orme
And Mr.. McNayr

A rather dull meeting of the
county commissioners was enliven-
ed between sessions on Tuesday by
a blast from Board President
Brooke Johns against Chief of
Police Charles Orme and County
Supervisor I. G.. McNayr. In fact,
the usually genial Mr.. Johns SEEM
ed peeved at. everyone. He freely
disclosed this to a group of re-
porters.
Mr.. Johns denunciated the man.
ner in which police directed the
Congressional Club to discontinue
bingo games last week. He charged
that police handling the matter
showed no "finesse", and that de-
tectives who visited the club were
"impolite-they didn't even take
off. their hats" when they entered
the club.
The whole affair was misman-
aged, he claimed. He said he could
see no reason for cracking down
on the Congressional Club when
police knew churches and other
organizations had sponsored bingo
games for years.
Tuesday morning a delegation
from the club headed by H. Mason
Welch obtained the commissioners
APPROVAL for bingo party to be
held Monday for thirty amputee
veterans from Naval Hospital and
Walter Reed.
The commissioners spent the
Afternoon session studying the bud
get for 1948-49 which will be pre-
scented at next weeks meeting at
which time the budget hearing
date will be set.
