BRITAIN CLASHES
WITH RUSSIA ON
WATERWAY RIGHTS
GENEVA CONFERENCE IS
SCENE OF HEATED DIS
CUSSIONS
MONTREUX. Switzerland. July 9
(TP)—British and Russian interests
m the strategic waterways leading to
Ihe Black Sea clashed head-on at
the straits conference today.
The conference is attempting to
draft new agreements to permit Turk
ey to re-fortify the Dardanelles, the
Sea of Mamora and the Straits of
Bosporus. Soviet foreign commissar,'
Maxim Litvinoff today laid down an
ultimatum to Britain, France, Japan
Turkey and other interested powers.
He demanded that Russia be given
full rights to move her warships from
the Black Sea tothe Mediterranean.
Litvinoff threatened to quit the con
ference unless his demands are met.
Russia also demands that countries
not fronting the .Slack Sea be denied
the right to send naval vessels int/
its waters. The British promptly in
sisted that their battleships have the
same freedom in the Dardanelles as
the Russian fleet.
Litvinoff then proposed that war
fleets of outside nations be given
access to the Black Sea if they were
carrying out business for the League
of Nations.
Litvinoff and the British repre
sentative Lord Stanhope will confer
privately this evening in an attempt)
to head off a serious break .

GERMANY MIGHT
ALLOW DUELING
ANCIENT METHOD OF SET
TLING QUARRELS IS
SOUGHT
BERLIN July 9 (TP)—A Nazi com
mission has paved the way toward re
cognition of duelling as a legal meth
od of settling personal quarrels. Duel
ing has never been sanctioned in the
history of Germany. Previous govern
ments, however, have winked their
eyes at the practice. Hitler even abol
ished the traditional duelling with
broad swords. A practice of the stu
dents at Heidelburg.
Today a special commission entrust
. ed with the reform of the penal code
recommended that duelling be allow
ed under certain conditions. The
state secretary. Dr. Freisler, said that
Germany must recognize that the
defense of ones honor with pi; to s
is an inescapable duty at times. His
commission recommended that the
third Reich pass a law creating a
“Code of Honor” to define when angry
men may use pistols or blades to
avenge their wrongs.
TOO HOT FOR LOVE!
FLORISTS DECIDE THAT
MEN LOSE ROMANCE
WHEN SUN SHINES
BOSTON, July 9 (TP)—Boston
florists surveyed their business today
and decided that a man’s romantic
impulses wilt when the mercury plays
tag with the 90 degrees mark.
In the spring and on cool summer
days a mart’s fancy turns to love and
the flowers, the florists say. Men may
still think of love when the days
grow hot, the florists added, but they
don’t say it with flowers.
Women on the other hand, are Just
the opposite. The hotter it gets, the i
more flowers they buy for themselves.
Flower sales in (Boston right now,
are way down, the flower dealers say.
One dealer put the situation into
philosophical form. He said: “Wh?'„
men perspire in a heat wave such ao
this, it simply ends their moonlight
and honeysuckle thoughts.”

LANDON’S FATHER
PAYS NO HEED TO
NEWSPAPER GOSSIP
TOPEKA, Kan., July 9 (TP)—Re
publican devotees may rave about
Governor Alf Landon’s accomplish
ments, but the G. O. P. Presidential
nominee’s father, John M. Landon, re
fuses to be impressed.
In the current Liberty Magazine,
the elder Landon explains just hdw he
feels about his son.
“People who try to set up Alf as a
poor boy, born in a log cabin, who
surmounted poverty by genius are
talking through their hats,” says Pa
Landon. "We were never rich and
we never were very poor. As far as
Alf being a brilliant student in col
lege-well, he might have been but
I never heard of it.”
