UNIVERSITY TO DISCON TINUE LIGHTING LOVERS’ CAVE BLOOMINGTON Ind., July 16 (TP) —Heads of Indiana University looked over their increasing electric light bulb bills today—then decided not to light the campus lovers’ lane anymore. Much of Indiana’s campus is dense ly wooded and many are the paths where cupid is busy on these summer evenings. School authorities thought it would be very nice if the walks were lighted. They installed dozens of bulbs. Each morning, however, grounds keepers found the lights broken. It soon developed that the cost of light ing the cupid’s nooks was more than the budget could stand. “Keep ’em dark.” the grounds super intendent ordered today. “The kids are just knocking the lights out with rocks whenever they want to do a little spooning.’’ STATEWIDE DRIVE FOR PASSAGE OF SOCIAL SECURITY ATLANTA, July 16 (Special to The Daily Times)—A state-wide drive for the passage of laws enabling Georgia to take part in the federal social security program will be launched here tonight by Walter C.

He said later that he would issue a statement regarding his reaction today. Most inform'd observers believe that the New Deal had much to do with the federation’s decision to put off final action in the C. I. O. case. The administration h fightng hard to I prevent an outright split between I Lewis and his labor rival, A. F. of L. President William Green. Only a i short time before the federation’s ex- I ecutive committee handed out its trial 1 date announcement, several adminis tration chiefs including Assistant La bor Secretary McGrady, called on both Lewis and Green. They are be lieved to have urged the two rivals to strive again to reach a peaceful solution of the craft union versus in dustrial union dispute. FOREIGNPOWERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) 24.000 tons of over-age destroyers in service, by following the 5-5-3 ratio of the London treaty. John Bull’s naval treaty step did not take the United States or Japan by surprise. The British, for months, have plainly indicated that they are going to keep all the destroyer strength possible on the high seas. The question now is whether Uncle Sam will meet the British step by ordering 40,000 tons of destroyers, scheduled for the scrap-heap, kept in service. Japan is almost sure to take advantage of her three-fifths treaty rights and with a big navy crowd in the administration’s good graces at Washington, it appeared hardly pos sible to naval experts today that the United States would fail to meet the British tonnage boost. FARNSWORTH (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) information regarding the naval strength of their rivals. Although both Thompson and Farnsworth have been linked with Japan there has been no official change in diplomatic relations with that country. In fact, U. S. Naval of ficers today are conferring with Japanese officials about the forth coming visit of a Japanese naval training squadron to eastern waters. Two Japanese cruisers are leaving the west coast soon for Baltimore and New York. The vessels are carry ing young Japanese midshipmen on a tour of United States coastal waters. KING EDWARD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) his name. They said he was an Eng lishman. The revolver was said to be a five-chambered weapon loaded with four bullets. King Unperturbed King Edward appeared undisturbed by the attack. He helped quiet the panicy crowd and then rode on to Buckingham Palace. Outside the gates he acknoweldged the salute of his guardsmen, wheeled his horse and rode in. • It was the first time in the life of the former Prince of Wales that a finger had been raised against him in violence. It was the first time since the reign of Queen Victoria that an assassn had menaced the life of a member of the British royal family. King George IV and Edward the VII were attacked by assassins, but both of the attempts - were made before the Kings reached the throne. The attack on Queen Victoria was made when she rode through Hyde Park with her new husband, the Ger man Prince Consort. The sniper missed and next day the Queen rode once again, unprotected, through the Park with her German husband Again she was fired on and again the shot went wild. From that day until today, no man’s hand had been raised in attempted assassination against the British ruler. There was universay astonishment at the attempt to kill King Edward VIII.

Su preme court finds the Frazier-Lemke act constitutional under its amended form. EX-PALSTESTIFY AGAINST PFEIFFER LAST DEFENDANT IN AB DUCTION OF WILLIAM HAMM ST.

Edward has traveled around the world alone. He has walked down New York’s Fifth Avenue, Berlin's Un ter Der Linden Paris’ Champs Elysees and a thousands streets of the world—utterly unprotected. American Eyewitness An American who saw the attempt made on the life of King Edward told Transradio Press that the King was completely unmoved by the incident. The witness was a pipe organ player from Grand Rapids, Michigan, C. Harold Einecke. Einecke was standing at the top of Constitution Hill where the would-be assassin was seized. Einecke described the succeeding tumult as follows! "The King was riding slowly as he approached the arch on Constitution Hill. I noticed he was looking stead ily towards the left. I think from his rigid position in the saddle that he had a hunch something was coming off and was watching for it. Certain ly his horse seemed to sense some thing was wrong for he acted nervous with his ears twitching. Just as the King passed there was a scuffle. A man rushed out of the crowd. Police men piled on top of him. Through it all the King seemed completely un shaken." SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1936 JOLLY GOVERNOR TO BE ELKS’ RULER z Or • - •/? "■ Gov.
