Lord Marley, former British Cabinet member and opposition leader, who was to speak this afternoon before the Berkeley Women's City Club, left his umbrella home because he didn't think it rained much in California. Friends corrected that impression by telegram, and when Lord Marley stepped off the train he was armed with new umbrella. Although he was ready and willing to talk about the International situation, Lord Marley did first what everyone else was doing talked about the weather. It was, he said, amazing. TRAIN DELATED Lard Marley disclosed that his train was an hour late because it had been necessary to put kind of a contraption" on the front of the engine to clear the tracks of houses which washed onto the right-of-way.

The attorney maintained that $4000 was excessive, inasmuch as his clients were employees of Vanderpool.

City Manager Hollis R. Thompson, who declared Harry G. Williams, Oakland city auditor, was "a thoroughly honest man, but has been playing merry-go-round," the City Council today 'delayed action on a compromise plan evolved yesterday for the projected $57,000 Metrolopitan Oakland sewer survey project Under the compromise, Oakland would be the depositary for the funds, and work would be co-ordinated in that city. Williams objected to depositing Oakland's $40,000 share in the local municipal treasury and having the work directed here as provided in the original contract DELAY REQUESTED' Thompson agreed to the altered plan, but when the matter of the revised contract "was presented to the council this morning he said he desired more time to study the situation before making a recommendation and asked that action be delayed at least a week. The request was granted.

The City Manager reported that the project had run into temporary difficulties "because Williams has risen on his dignity." "Williams is thoroughly honest," Thompson declared, "but he is playing merry-go-round with this and has involved himself to a certain extent in a matter of policy where he has no right to be." TESTS AVOIDED He called attention to the fact that the original plan, to which Williams had objected, had been approved by city attorneys of seven participating cities, and noted that the only reason that Berkeley had been chosen was to permit employment of technicians without necessity of examinations which would be necessary under the Oakland civil service system. Thompson expressed doubt that Prof. Charles GHman Hyde of the University of California and other several months ago where the district attorney and the State attor ney general acted jointly.

The policy is predicated on a belief that Germany cannot win, although it is admitted that Germany has plenty of food 'and its people won't starve. While the Allies believe the German people must rid themselves of "a most unpleasant government," Lord Marley said, no attempt' is being made to say what kind of a government Germany should have.
