Graham Seton Hutchison told the Nottingham Writers Club Friday night, according to The Nottingham Journal. Col. Hutchison, author and publicist, has written a number of book and plays under the name of Graham Reton. Describing the story of King Albert's death, Feb.

17, as the biggest piece of spoof put over on the world in the last six months," Hutchinson is reported to have said: He did not die as a result of an Alpine accident, believe me. I know the facts. This spoof was put over by planned perjury in such a way that it is simply baffling to intelligent people. 'Tlie story of Albert's death was issued in Belgium before lie was dead. A man with a rope around his waist does not go climbing by himself." Mentioning that Alberts field glasses were found 300 yards distant from the body and saying he had ascertained that there were no bruise on the kings body or hands, Hutchinson continued: "In other words, he was tapped on the back of the head.

That is known Continued on Foo 2, Firot Column TOKYO IJP) Japan is girding for the threatened trade war with Great Britain. It was indicated officially Saturday, confident she possesses the most formidable weapons for such a conflict. Instead of manifesting concern at the British threat to take action to protect the empire's textile export interests gainst increasing Japan competition, officials said, in effect, that Japan can take care of herself. Trade leaders pointed to the government's new trade protection act." under which the cabinet may quickly hike or lower import tariffs by executive decree, or limit and prohibit imports. The British trade warning, given Japanese Ambassador Matsudaira by Walter Runciman, president of the British Board of Trade, is being studied by the Foreign Office's Commercial Bureau.

There were strong indications Ja- pan would flatly refuse to bow to Great Britain's ultimatum that the Tokyo government must modify Its trade program and tactics. Foreign Minister Koki Hirota said: I "Our country is confronted every- where by difficulties in foreign trade. It found it necessary to institute trade control to safeguard our foreign commerce." Trade leaders expressed the opinion i that even if Great Britain does impose quotas on Japanese goods, Nippon will not be hurt seriously, especially since Japan's imports from the British Isles in 1933 totaled 000. 000 yen or almost as much as was exported there. 83.000,000 yen.

It was pointed out further that Ja-pan exports Ui the British Isles formed only 4.7 per cent of the total i exports for 1933 and that the only Cefttinued an Page 2. Firot Column Today's the day! The sixtieth running of the Kentucky derby draws thousands to historic Churchill Downs for this turf classic. Many thousands more throughout the country eagerly await the result. Cavalcade And Time Clock, Stablemates, Favorites In Annual Classic WASHINGTON JP) A swift Senate-House compromise on stock market control appeared likely Saturday. As the House completed action Friday with a thumping 280 to 84 passage of the Rayburn Exchange legulation measure.

Democratic leaders advanced steps for revision of the Senate securities act next week at the same time the House measure comes up for action. In proposing a series of amendments to the securities act criticized by business and industry as interfering with their financing operations. Chairman Fletcher (D. Fla.) of the Senate banking committee, contended they will not emas-ulate or destroy the purpose of the securities act but will meet some of the objections raised against it." The amendment would lessen the concededly severe liabilities imposed on officers, directors and underwriters in connection with the issuance of securities and would limit somewhat the recovery of damages under certain conditions. Few changes ill the existing form of the Fletcher stock market bill were anticipated in the Senate.

When the differing measures get into eonfcence. there were definite indications the Senate would accept the House provision setting a 45 iter cent margin as a guide to the Federal Reserve Board. In return it was indicated the House would approve the Senate's proposal for a seperate commission of five to administer both the exchange and securities act rather Ilian leave them with the Federal Trade Commission The House defeated 284 to 84 the Bulwlnkle amendment to set up a stock exchange commission of three. It was the last big test on the administration measure. Congress showed signs Saturday of insisting that both the RFC and the Federal Reserve banks should be allowed to give a financial lift to industry.

In the Senate. Glass, of Virginia, expressed hope for passage next week of his bill to let the Federal Re-e make direct longs to industry. In the House, Reprentative Hancock N. arguing for passage of the RFC bill, gave this description of what he called the Glass plan: "In my opinion, its main purpose Is not to extend aid to small industries but to head off the RFC bill which would give the needed help. The Glass bill amounts to nothing more than a quack remedy." Both tlie RFC and the Glass Federal Reserve bills have presidential! approval.

The former would be temporary. and the latter permanent. Many members contend openly that the RFC proposal must be enacted to force the Federal Reserve to use Its lending authority.

BY ALAN GOULD CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUISVILLE (JPi Despite a heavy early shower and the threat of further downpour before the sixtieth Kentucky Derby is run, the picturesque Downs race course Saturday was Of DEFEAT IN BATTLE WASHINGTON BY PAUL MAIAON 1984, By Paul Mellon ECLIPSE Scientists who run around the world trying to record eclipses of -the sun should hurry to Washington immediately.

Sunny Jim Farley is tn one now which is phenomenal. The postmaster general has maintained his good nature without interruption for many years, even through the air mail mess. What has darkened his beaming countenance now is a curious incident inside the New Deal. Farley fired a certain hold-over employe of the Postoffice Department several weeks ago for what he considered good and sufficient reasons. The employe was not only a Republican, but what Farley would call an obnoxious Republican, meaning he was too Republican even for a New Deal.

His $6,000 a year job was given to a deserving Democrat. Shortly thereafter Mr. Farley read in the newspapers that the man he fired had been appointed to a better job in the Treasury Department at a salary of about $7,500. FISCAL FRENZY Wall Street amart fellows have worked themselves Into a frenzy the last few days trying to find the answer to the Treasury's new stabilization fund mystery. They suspect further dollar devaluation.

more gold or silver buying, possibly federal backing for the bond market. What has driven them balmy is the fact that none of these steps is needed, none of them logically, but. then why did the Treasury take its gold profit and prepare its stabilization fund for action at this time? FRENCH GOLD The most. satisfactory whispered explanation is that the Treasury did it because of France. Insiders have been expecting France to go off gold at any time, at least to the extent of declaring a gold embargo against exports to non-gold countries.

Advance information also indicated the May Day riots in Paris wmuld be more serious than they were. When France gives up the gold sponge, there are bound to be strong fluctuations in both sterling and the dollar. The Treasury wanted to be ready to counteract these fluctuations Whenever they came. Theres just one trouble about that explanation. It comes off the record from official sources that official boys never have been particularly truthful in explaining their foreign exchange purposes.

DILLINGER The Department of Justice has been a beehive inside since the last Dillinger escape. Word has been passed down the line that he must be captured. Apparently the higher-ups are worried about the political effect. There seems to be a general feeling on the outside that Dillinger would he in a cell now if the federal agents would cooperate with state and city llice. The agents are being accused of trying to make a grandstand play by working alone.

That is not the real explanation of why the federal agents are working alone. They do not trust local police in many localities. SOLUTION A group of New Deal economists were sitting around gabbing the other day when one hit upon a bright idea for solving all our cur-reni economic problems. Said he: "What we need now is to absorb 10.000,000 unemployed and to stimulate the capital goods industries at the same lime. "All right, lets start off by putting the 10, 000.

000 violators of the NRA codes in jail. That would necessitate building more jails. We could hire the 10.000.000 unemployed for jail construction and purchase jail building materials from the capital goods industries. "Presto, change! The problem is solved." For a minute his listeners thought he might be serious. REPORT A well known impartial journalist has just completed a trip through 15 states of the South and Southwest.

He reports strong antagonism exists against Prof. Tugwell lor reasons that are not quite evident. President Roosevelt has virtually no open critics. The New Deal Is bound to be popular as long as the money lasts for cotton payments, public works, etc. These federal expenditures and cotton prices have brought a sort of temporary recovery throughout the South.

NOTES A weekly magazine is now taking a nation-wide poll on these two questions: Do you approve the policies of the New Deal during its first year? Whom did you vote for in the last election? The Justice Department secured from the Supreme Court a postponement in that Texas oil code violation case. That may mean six months de-lay in meeting the Issue of whether the government Is going to enforce the code to the limit. a Wall Street, spread the gossip Wednesday thut Treasury Secretary Morgen! hau was going to Paris sometime In the next year and that Bernard Baruch might get the treasury Job. Morgenthau passed it off as a tumor unworthy of formal denial and the White House laughed It off also. The NRA recently wrote a New England rayon mill ordering the proprietors to turn In their Blue Ragle.

"Sorry." replied the mill people, "We cunt do that." "Why not?" queried the NRA. The answer was: We never had one."

The restraining order was issued on a petition brought by the Birmingham Baseball Association, which filed $500 injunction bond in Chancery Court to keep the temporary order in effect pending final hearing on the case. No date was set for this hearing. The Birmingham association claimed in its petition that the broadcasting company had been broadcasting games played at Rickwood by placing an observer equipped with field glasses in a tree near the park, which is enclosed by a 12-foot fence, to watch games and give play-by-play accounts of them. The injunction was directed against the broadcasting company.

Steve A. Cisler, station manager, and Allen Clark. Cisler has Indicated he will appeal the case to higher courts to determine definitely whether the broadcast ban is legal. A similar case has been reported at Little Rock and is now being litigated in the Arkansas courts.

Chief Of State Democratic Executive Committee Is Rather Glad LONDON UP Great Britain and Italy have demanded that King Ibn Saud. of Saudi Arabia, slate his ultimate objectives and expectations in his war against the fleeing Yemeni, it was learned authoritatively Saturday. At the same time, it was learned in official quarters, that the British government ridicules reports Italy has a "treaty of a defensive sort with the Yemeni and therefore is alarmed because she backed the wrong horse." It was emphatically stated, as reports piled up telling of Ibn Sauds conquering forces' relentless drive toward Sana, capital of Yemen, that the British view Italian interest in the situation as entirely similar to Britain's protection of her nationals. One of the chief worries of the British is whether the iman of Yemen is dead and. until this rumor is verified or disproved, the government will be unable to consolidate Its position.

The last official word received was from A. Ryan, the British repne mtative in Jidda, closest to the scene who reported Thursday that he did not know whether the iman was dead. The British, apparently, do not fear the apparent victor will do anything too drastic, believing that Ibn Saud will fully recognize British interests. It was understood here that the fighting sultan is pouring his erstwhile cavalry troops into victory after victory with automobiles and motor trucks and that a further advance is being made toward near Sana. Progress Is Made In Fight Against Childbirth Deaths LONDON iP Material progress in combating humanity's ancient tragedy of childbirth mortality is reported by a group of super specialists" at Queen Charlottes Maternity Hospital.

"We can indeed say there is new hope for mothers." declared Miss E. G. Dare, matron of the hospital. Equally encouraged was Dr.

Louis Rivett, speaking on behalf of eight surgeons who have made themselves Into super specialists to study methods of conquering the complications which cause deaths in childbirth. "Although peritonitis complications had been considered fatal." he said, "since starting this super specialization, 30 per cent of the cases have recovered." Each of the eight surgeons studies a Ringle complication. Dr. Kivett explained. his own "super specialty" being peritonitis.

The others have been as successful in theis lines as he has in his. Dr. Rivett reported. By combining their discoveries, the surgeons hope to build up a new chart of methods which will lessen the maternal mortality of the world. Uventually.

GREENOCK, Scotland iP) Capt. Stewart, master of the S. S. Duchess of York, reported by wireless to the Greenock police Saturday that he had searched the big ocean liner fruitlessly for John Dillinger, American desperado. The local police said they were satisfied Dillinger, rumored on his way to Great Britain, was not aboard Capt.

Stewart's ship, but nevertheless alien officers will meet the ship when it arrives leter in the day. It is understood here thet detectives also will board the Duchess of York at Belfast to satisfy themselves that the rumors are untrue. CHICAGO -UP) A triple alliance flung out Its combined man-hunting power Saturday in a fresh foray, designed to end the criminal career of John Dillinger. Three powerful arms of the law-government agents, a speeial "flying squad" of picked city ooUce, and secret detectives from the state's attorney's office Joined in the newly organized hunt for the elusive gunman.

Their organization completed, the officers pressed their hunt in Chicago, satisfied the killer still lurks somewhere in the city's underworld haunts. Vigorously they pursued this course, despite a report that Dillinger Is on the high seas, en route to Greenock. Scotland. aboard the steamer Duchess of Y'ork. The report, published hi the Lon-Continuod on Fogs t.
