N, March 10.—The Labor jgovernment, which hitherto has had al- most unanimous backing in the House of Commions on its Indian policies, to- day faced a serious challenge in what many regarded as a right-about face by Conservative leaders, ‘The Indian Committee of the Con- servative party met last night and passed a resolution reading: “This committee welcomes the deci~ slon of Mr. Baldwin that’the Conserv- ative party cannot be represented at any further round-table conference to be held in India, as now is foreshad- owed by his majesty's government.” The reference to Stanley Baldwin, Conservative chieftain, who on January 28 announced his indorsement of the gllclu worked out at the held in London.

By the Associated Pres: BOSTON, March 10.—New England took account .of stock today after a snowstorm had claimed the lives of five fishermen, endangered ten motorists marooned in White Mountain snow- drifts and left washed up on Massa- chusetts shores the battered parts of a plane and a flyer's helmet and goggles. Eight Groveton, N. H. High. School students, their basket ball coach and a chauffeur were found late yesterday in the impassable drifts of snow that sev- ered Crawford Notch, N.

Four of their num- ber, who had gone for. help, nearly in the attempt and they were led to safety by railroad work- ers and State highway men, who came upon them in an abandoned camp. Heater Stopped Working. ‘The four youths'led the way back to their automobile, where the other six were huddled together for warmth as the snow gradually crawled to the win- dow tops. The heater of the car long since had stopped functioning as the engine, soaked by melting snow, stalled. At Gloucester, Mass., part of a cock- pit and an airplane wing were washed upon the beach. There was no identi- fying sign on them and after a sgarch of the shore line the belief was ex- pressed that the sea finally had given up a ship that had failed to make a transatlantic crossing. At Winthrop, a Boston suburb, an aviator’s helmet and goggles were found. A minute search by Coast Guardsmen “failed to reveal anything that might explain them. Earlier yesterday the sea cast up planks and spars at Newburyport, all that remained of the Boston fisherman Julia, whose crew of five was lost dur- ing the storm of Bunday night and Monday morning. Another fisherman’s boat, the St. Providenca, was missing with her crew of four, ‘Worst in Many Years. In Vermont the storm was the worst experienced in many years.

Two more deaths- were reported in Chicago, attributable to the storm, bringing the total to 18. E. C.

SOUTHERN ENGLAND HIT. Temperature Down in England After Heaviest Snow in 20 Years. LONDON, March 10 (#).—Southern England, which until this week had es- caped severe Winter weather, was mak- ing up today for the lapses of the past three months, A temperature of 22 degrees Fahren- heit prevailed in London this morning, while thousands of erstwhile unem- ployed engaged in removing from the streets an_ estimated 9,000,000 tons of snow which fell yesterday, the heaviest fall in 20 years. The sky was threat- ening, and continued snow and cold were predicted. Roads all over the British Isles were plled high with snow or, more danger- ous still, were encrusted with ice, which made traffic difficult and hazardous. The railroads brought out their snow- plows and adhered fairly closely to train schedules. Cross Channel steamers and some air services continued through snowstorms which blotted out the sea and sky. Pilots described the experience as much-| like flying through a fog. Among in- coming liners buffeted by the storm was the Cunarder Laconia, which ship- ped & ht:ge wave off Cornwall, scatter- ing a party of seamen working on deck and injuring two, one of whom died. ‘Winter sports, which Britain enjoys only very infrequently, appeared in full blast today as the heavy winds of the week end calmed The Oxford and Cambridge crews, training at Putney for their coming race, had their boats and oars incrusted with ice when they came in from a turn on the river. The men were severely tested. The bitter weather was general over most of Northern and Central Europe. PARIS SUSPENDS RAIL SERVICE. Flood Threatens City as Leakage From Seine Continues ta Increase.

One of the narrowest escapes from & great tragedy in the history of naval aviation, involving the loss at sea of two squadrons totaling 36 planes and 72 men, during the annual maneuvers of the fleet now being concluded in Panama waters, has led to experiments which may change the make-up of the Navy's fighter squadrons. The two squadrons, it was explained todsy by David S. Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, missed their rendezvous with their air< craft carrier after & long scouting mis- sion over the oben sea. Returning at dusk, with fuel running low, to the spot where they expected to find the carrier, the 72 officers and men of the two squadrons were startled to find no signs of the cairier or any other vessel below. There was no sign of a ship of any kind and, with dark closing in, their plight was desperate. All Land-Type Planes. All the planes of the two squadrons were of the land-plane type, fitted for landing on the decks of the carriers, but equipped only with emergency flo- tation gear to keep them afloat tem- porarily in case of a landing at sea. As the two squadrons circled around in the gathering dark mately 50 miles away and both squad- rons headed for the light trusting their fuel would hold out until they could reuhnuunkno'nmmntgenyl. If it were a battleship, cruiser or de- stooyer, they were prepared to land in the open sea alongside, trusting to be picked up before their planes sank, though this would have meant the cer- tain loss of the 36 planes. un‘,:t!ezi hhowem, hu:ll:e & searc] t aboard their own catrier and both squadrons ;;‘ ul;le m:o ll:nd aboard in safety, e of planes 4t the very limif of their fuel supply. i Flyers’ Morale Shaken. “It was an escape by the narrowest of margins from what would have been a terrific blow to naval aviation,” Mr. Ingalls said. “As it is, even though the squadrons escaped without loss, it was such a terrible experience that the morale of the officers and men was shaken.” Steps have been undertaken to pre- vent the possibility of such an occur- Tence ever happening again, Mr. In- galls said. “While the experience has been a shock to every one concerned,” said Mr. Ingalls, “much good the affair. If the caused this near-disaster had not been revealed it is quite likely that we might have lost an entire sqi or more at_sea.” ‘To vent squadrons and 'carriers becoming separated in the future dur- ing long-range missions at sea, every squadron is to be equipped with radio telephonic or “homing” equipment even though, in the case of the single-seater fighter and bombardment ns, this may mean that the single-seaters will have to be led by a different type of plane, Mr, Ingalls said. Depend on Navigation. The Navy has been u; to_devise or purchase proper radio equipment for its single-seater planes, Mr. mlnqflh to said, and as & result they depend upon uavigation alone to take them back to their carriers. When the planes are out of sight of the earriers for several hours and the carrier is forced to continue on its way, as it must in fleet maneuvers, the problems s s e is grave errors which may prevent the squadrons find- ing the ship. “We have tested any number of radio outfits,” Mr. Ingalls said, “but there is not a set yet produced which will meet the requirements for our iter and bombardment squadrons. telephone must be used because the ilot simply cannot fly his plane in formation and manipulate a radio key at the same time. Existing radio tele- phone outfits weighing as much as a radio code outfit with a range of 200 miles give us a working range of only about 40 miles. We must have perfect communication over a distance of at least 200 miles,” Because there is no radio equipment, for the fighter squadrons, Mr. Ingalls said, these squadrons e BRIE WAL PROBE FRM NAME GHANGE Seaboard Investment Trust Now Known as Washington Suburban Companies.

He found his wife and Huff in a eor- ner of the bedroom, with two of his children, Edward, 2 years, and George, 6 months, asleep nearby. The other youngsters, ir., 7, and Bessie, 3, ‘were at the home of Mrs. Dulaney’s mother, Mrs. Madeline Johnson, ,1204 H street northeast. \ As he entered the room, Dulaney told police, Huff reached for his hip pocket, shouting, “I'm as good a man as you are!” Dulaney ran to the bed, reached under the mattress and pulled out his pistol. Huff lunged at him, he said, and he fired. to Officer Rushes In. Hearing the reports of the revolver, Policeman Dant ran upstairs. He placed Dulaney under arrest and summoned an ambulance, in which the wounded man was taken to the hospital. “I guess I loved her too much,” Du- laney sobbed as he sat in the “office” at the police station a few minutes later. ‘Tears trickled down his cheeks. “I loved her with all my heart, and I took her trifiing and fooling around too_long.” Dulaney paused and buried his Ylfld in his hands. A moment later he began scribbling on the plece of paper which had been given him to write the story of the shooting. He was locked in a eell about an hour later.
