KING’S OFFER SAVES BRITAIN BIG SUM EDWARD TO USE PRIVATE INCOME RATHER THAN STATE FUNDS LONDON, April 28 (TP)—The British treasury will save nearly SBOO,OOO a year—it was revealed today—through the insistence of King Edward that he continue to use his private income instead of drawing funds from the state. The King’s income, when he was the Prince of Wales, came from the Duchy of Cornwall. The select com mittee of the House of Commons has recommended that King Ed ward get $2,050,000 compared with $2,850,000 that was parceled out during King George’s reign. Since King Edward prefers to use his private income, however, about $550,000 will remain undrawn, so long as the Cornwall Duchy yields its current revenue of $570,000. The Commons committee set aside $200,000 to be used In case the King decides to get married. “HOPEABANDONED, YE WHO ENTER-’’ ALCATRAZ PRISONERS WHISPER: “ESCAPE?IT CAN’T BE DONE” SAN FRANCISCO. April 28 (TP). The whisper “it can’t be done” runs through the cell blocks of Alcatraz prhon today. “It can’t be done" refers to escape and the death of convict Joe Bow ers adds proof to the theory that no one can escape from the federal peni tentiary set up as the American “Devil's Island.” Bowers was shot by guards while sliding down a 40-fcot cliff in a de§- perate attempt to escape. Had he negotiated the steep slide successful ly, Bowers would have had to swim more than a mile through treacher ous currents. His escape attempt was the first since the government took over the barren island to house pris on trouble-makers transferred from other federal institutions.

It was a busy day for Congressman Marion Zioncheck, Democrat of Washington, starting from the time he told reporters he had no in tentions of going to court to answer a charge of speeding 70 miles an hour in the capital. A warrant was issued for his arrest and Police Sergeant Gjorge Helmuth was sent to serve if. He did, but not until after a scuffle. The up shot of the whole thing was that Zioncheck had several more skirmishes with the police, ap- LADY SCOTT WEDS ARCHBISHOP OF CANTER.

CHAMBER MEET WASHINGTON, April 28. (TP). Industry today answered President Roosevelt’s challenge by adopting un employment as its own problem. The three speakers who addressed the first general session of the Chamber of Commerce’s 24th annual meeting concentrated on the task of taking men off th relief rolls. The speakers were: Secretary of Commerce Roper, President Harper Sibley of the cham ber, and President Lewis Brown, of the Johns Mansville Corporation. Sibley and Brown gave the admin istration a distinct surprise. Their speeches were conciliatory toward the New Deal: Roper’s speech, of course, sought to define the administration’s attitude toward industry in friendly terms. Denying that the chamber is the “tool of big business.” Sibley asked for non-partisan consideration of the correlated national problems. He listed them as follows: Unemploy ment, relief, taxation, federal fiscal policies, and social security. Instead of attacking the New Deal Sibley replied to President Roosevelt’s request that industry re-employ men. He asked chamber members to show what they do with the problem. Quoting from the 1924 chamber resolutions, he declared: “Business should render restrictive legislation unnecessary by conducting itself as to deserve and inspire public confi dence.” Brown took issue with New Deal policies on relief, taxation, and gov ernment interference with business. His speech, however, was more con ciliatory than critical. At one point he declared: “Al though much has been said about the methods of the triple A. yet the fact remains that price parity between major economic groups is probably more important contribution to what recovery we have had so far, than any other thing.” peared before a judge, pleaded guilty, was lodged in a barred detention room for a time and finally released when Representative J.

Impromptu Race By Two Radiocars Draws Chuckles But Causes Drop In Ranks Time was hanging heavily on the hands of four radiocar officers last week-end. Savannah seemed to be on its better behavior and the number of customary calls occasioned by Sat urday night drunks was sadly de pleted. The two drivers fell to talking about this and that and it was but natural that their mutual interest I and conversation fell to the discus 1 sion of motorcars. Naturally—be*' cause they had just been assigned to spanking new Plymouths, all ready for fast driving and equipped with super-radio outfits which kept them in touch with the desk sergeant—or at least, so the desk sergeant thought. Finally, a remark of one occasion ed the sporting spirit—if not the challenging ire of the other. The re mark concerned their relative abili ties as fast drivers. S. 0. S. ANSWERED RESCUE SHIP TO PULL STRANDED YACHT INTO DEEPER WATER HAVANA April 28 (TP)—A Cuban coast guard cutter is waiting for high water today before attempting to pull a stranded American yacht into deeper water. The yacht, the “Jane The Second,” piled up on a reef several miles off the Cuban shore-line. An S. O. S. sent two big vessels off their course towards the stranded pleasure craft Later, however, the owner of the “Jane The Second,” John Lowery, Jr., Adviecf the United Fruit Liner “Limon” atC the S. S. “Musa” that their assistance was not required as the cutter was racing for the small vessel. The tug reached the yacht early today and found the “Jane The Sec ond” listing badly but in no immedi ate danger of capsizing. Hawsers were made fast to the pleasure craft and with the high tide, an effort will be made to haul the yacht off the reef. RAPP GETS RAP MISHAWAKA. Ind., April 28 (TP) —The bailiff rapped for order, and John Rapp stood with wrapt attention while Judge E. J. Bower gave him a sls rap. Policeman Ralph Howlant* brought Rap into court. He said Rapp rapped on his door for half an hour the other morning at 1 o’- clock. Judge Bowers thought the sls fine would settle the case. SAVANNAH, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1936 There was one way to settle the argument—proof of the pudding, so to speak. They headed the shining new cars out toward Bay street ex tension. “Get set—on your mark—go” figu ratively they said to each other. First one took the lead then the other. Time, speed and remarks thereto were properly clocked. Forty—FIFTY—SIXTY SEVEN TY! The speedometer steadily rose under the pressure of each of the coppers’ foot. And coppers, parenthe tically, are known to have sturdy feet. Along the roadside, natives didn’t quite understand the impromptu race. Some gained the idea that the Inter national Speedway classic which made Indianapolis so famous ,had suddenly been transferred to Savan nah. Others, quite naturally, assum ed that Mack Sennett of yesteryear movie fame, had suddenly revived his "Keystone Comedy Cop” series and that a few of the boys were “out on location.” Word suddenly reached the desk sergeant as to their “location.” He dispatched a bevy of motorcycle cop pers to the scene and after some racing proclivities on the part of the latter group, the race-minded radio coppers were hauled Into the bar racks. But not until after they had run the whels off of one of the cars. Just who won the race was a mat ter quite beside the point when they faced the indignation of their su perior officers. All of which explains why four wiser and sadder officers are today pounding pavements as streetmen, rather than riding around comfort ably in police radiocars. LEGION PAMPHLET ON “AMERICANISM” CALLED RADICAL STIRS NOISY ROW NEW YORK. April 28 (TP)— The noisy fight over the American Legion booklet on “Americanism’’ was sizzling merrily today and seemed about to pop up in Wash ington—where it would get the most attention. At the same time. New York County Commander Joseph Mc- Cabe termed as “ridiculous” the so-called delay in distribution to New York city schools of the pamphlet which was prepared by a legion committee. Said he: “This talk of suspending distribution is ridiculous. The book has already been generally circulated. It is being rapidly mailed now to legion commanders throughout the coun try.’’ The booklet is called “American ism—What Is It?" It has been RELIEF SITUATION IN NEW JERSEY IS A TANGLED KNOT REMNANT OF HUNGER MARCHERS RETAIN CAPITOL PLACES TRENTON, N. J., April 28 (TP)— Remnants of New Jersey's bitter ‘ Hunger Army” kept their places in the Assembly chambers today. The bulk of the jobless campers had gone home with plans to form a farmer labor party and fight for relief funds that they failed to get last night during a short, noisy meeting of the I legislature. The legislature is expected to draught and pass over to the munici palities a large share of the relief re sponsibility. Last night’s brief assembly session failed to provide anything tangible in the way of steps out of the relief crisis. The legislators met under the eyes of hunger marchers who camped in the state house for a week, but the presence of the unwelcome house guests failed to speed up action on a relief tax bill. Instead, the assembly censured Governor Harold G. Hoffman for permitting the hunger marchers to invade the assembly chamber. The legislators also expelled a spokes man for the unemployed when he called Bergen County Assembly man J. Parnell Thomas a “liar”. After an hour in session, the assembly voted to adjourn until Wedne day. Relief authorities hope that today’s caucuses will develop plans for definite action to be taken Wednesday. The general opinion is that Wed nesday’ assembly session will vote for a return of relief administra tion to the New Jersey municipal ities, with some state help. childwaoTlaws PONDERED TODAY U. S. SUPREME COURT TO HEAR ARGUMENTS ON MINIMUM PAY WASHINGTON, April 28 (TP)— The nine Justices of the Supreme Court will hear arguments today for and against minimum wage laws governing women and child ren in industry. Back in 1923, the Supreme Court ruled that woman and child labor minimum wage legislation was un constitutional. However, a new case, brought to the Supreme Court from New York State, has been given consideration by the court. The present case originated in New York City, where Joseph Tip aldo, a laundry owner, refused to pay the $12.40 minimum wage re quired by state law. Tipaldo, sup ported by the New York State Hotel Association, took the case to the New York Court of Appeals, which ruled the state act unconsti tutional. Attorney General Bennett of New York moved the case to the United States Supreme Court AIR HEROINE OFF FOR EARNED REST CHICAGO April 28 (TP)—The girl who emerged from a recent plane disaster as a heroine is bound for a vacation in the tropics today. Diminutive Nellie Granger was the hostess aboard a giant T. W. A. trans port plane which crashed into the side of an Alleghany ridge in a fog severalweeks ago. Eleven persons died in the crash I and the death toll might have been 13 had it not been for Miss Granger. She pulled two passengers to safety and then ran more than a mile to a farmhouse to get help. Airline officials thought that her heroism merited a vacation. Now that she is fully recovered from the shock which accompanied her tragic ex perience, Miss Granger is bound for New York, where she will board a boat for a leisurely tropical cruise on Saturday. attacked as “recommending a rad ical policy to American youths.” The controversy grew more heated last night when a legion county committeeman charged that a Hearst reporter led the fight against the booklet. Miss Irene Boyd of the committee said the Hearst newsman harangued the legionnaires, promising “to make the front pages of all the Hearst newspapers if the committee would withdraw the pamphlet.” Said Miss Boyd: "He said the committee was missing the opportunity of its life by not suppressing the pamphlet publicity.” Commander McCabe said the Texas Congressman. Maury Maver ick, wired him today and asked for a copy of the booklet. McCabe said Maverick wants to get it into the Congressional record. King Fuad Modern Monarch Os Egypt Is Dead; England’s Rule to Wane Under His Son LATE EMPEROR WAS STRONGLY ATTACHED TO BRITAIN CAIRO, April 28 (TP)—K in g Fuad, the first, of Egypt is dead. He will be succeeded on the throne by the young Crown Prince Farouk and a regency. King Fuad died today after a few days critical illness. The monarch was first stricken by a severs hem orrhage after his teeth were ex tracted. Then gangrene developed. Several blood transfusions failed to check his ebbing life. He made a startling rally today, but sudden ly collapsed and died within a few minutes. Fuad became the first Egyptian monarch of modern times in 1922. Fuad was born in 1868, Ahmed Fuad Pasha, sons of the Kdehive Ismail Pasha. His family was strongly attached to the British interests and assumed nominal con trol over the country under the British Protectorate. In 1917, Fuad succeeded his brother as Sultan. In 1922 the Pro tectorate was withdrawn and Fuad was proclaimed the first i'.ing of Egypt. In the 20’s Fuad devoted his time to cultural pursuits His most notable work in raising the. educational standards of Egypt was his establishment of the Uni-! versity of Cairo. Meanwhile, .the Nationalist! parties in Egypt who fought Brit ish domination began to force their way to power. When they forced the resignation of Fuad’s cabinet, the Monarch, himself took over the reins c* government. He tightened his grip until he had the constitu tion changed to reduce the power of Parliament to an advisory func tion. The last year of his life has seen resurgence of Nationalism in Egypt which the King was unable to smother out— .. Under Egypt’s new ruler it is be lieved that the British influence will wane. The 16-year-old King Farouk will be guided by an Egypt ian regency. King Fuad will probably be bur ied in the great Rafai Mosque in Cairo. There, under the solemnities of the Moslem faith he will be laid with illustrious ancestors. BATTLE TO HALT COMMUNIST GAINS FRANCE WILL HOLD RUN OFF ELECTIONS NEXT SUNDAY PARIS, April 28 (TP)—A battle to halt the sweeping Communist gains predicted in next Sunday’s run-off elections is under way in France today. Right-wing and centrist political leaders are worried over the start ling communist vote recorded in Sunday balloting, when the Reds polled at least 1,500,000 votes for Chamber of Deputies candidates. The figure was nearly double the 800.000 Communist votes recorded in the 1932 parliamentary elections. With candidates in 433 of the country’s 618 electoral districts fac ing a run-off election on Sunday be cause of their inability to poll an absolute majority last Sunday, Conservatives are mustering their forces for a “Stop the Communist Ticket’’ drive. Radical-Socialists, who banded together with Social ists and Communists in Sunday’s election, are being urged to aban don the united front to fight for the election of more Conservative candidates. Unless this drive suc ceeds, the French Communist party is conceded at least 50 seats in the House of Deputies. HOPE FOR SOLUTION WEIRD DISAPPEARANCE MRS. DRAPER, BOSTON BOSTON.

The voting started off slowly in both states, particularly in Massa chusetts In Boston only about a quarter of those eligible were expected to go to the polls.

P. ballots. Anti-New Deal Democrats will focus their eyes on the Pennsyl vania primaries today. For the first time in the present campaign, President Roosevelt is facing opposition on a primary bal lot. His political foe is th© New York attorney, Col. Breckenridge, a former assistant secretary of state and as yet an unknown quan tity in the political field. President Roosevelt is conceded a victory in the Pennsylvania vote. However, any kind of a showing by Breckenridge might bring anti- New Dealers into line behind ths Colonel in other states. Brecken ridge was rumored to have Amer ican Liberty League backing, al though the Liberty League denies that it is interested in the attop ney’s campaign. On the Republican primary bal lot, Senator William E. Borah will be unopposed.
