EBSUN BRABI-EY Great Britain Inaugurates Television EXPIRES IN LONDON One-Time Whisky Baron Was Noted for Lavish Entertainment Here. Edson Bradley, one time, whisky baron, whose art treasures and lavish entertainments transformed the old Alexander Graham Bell mansion here into an “Alladin’s Palace” of the pre-War era, died yesterday at 26 Manchester square, London, while on his annual visit to England. He wu[ 83 _years old. Bradley died of pneumonia after an extended illness. With him at the time was his daughter, Mrs. Julie Fay Bradley Shipman, widow of Right Rev. Herbert Shipman, former Suf- fragan Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of New York. ‘The body of the former president of “the whisky trust” will be brought back to this country for burial by Mrs. Shipman, who plans to sail Wednes- day. Bradley, who came here before the World War and moved to New- port, R. I, in 1923, also had homes in New York and London. Famous Tapestries Sold. The famous tapestries, paintings and collection of rare Chinese vases which made his home here one of the show places of Washington have either been sold or are marked for the auctioneer. With his wife, who died at the Bradley residence in Newport, Sea- view Terrace, in 1929, Bradley came to Washington from New York several years before the World War. He acquired the old Bell red-brick man- sion on the site of the present Dupont Circle Hotel and remodeled it to in- clude, among its many rooms, the city’s first “little theater” in a private dwelling. Entertained Lavishly. ‘The Bradleys entertained on a lavish scale. Their musicales and balls sometimes were attended by visiting guests brought hgre by special train. ‘The residence during the height of the entertaining there became known as “Alladin’s Palace.” When the Bradleys concluded to move into their 150-room Newport villa, they transported the entire in- terior of the local mansion to the Rhode Island resort. The “little thea- ter” maintained here, however, was replaced by a private chapel at New- port. Bradley, a rative of New Canaan, Conn., had been retired from active business about 20 years. For 12 years prior to his retirement he was presi- dent of “the whisky trust,” and through him the brands of Old Hermitage and Old Crow were made famous. His business interests were centered here, in New York and Frankfort, Ky. He was educated in Germany, at both Munich and Heidelberg. ‘Were to Have Returned July 3. Bradley and his daughter were to have sailed for the United States July 3, according to the Associated Press. The sailing date was moved up fol- lowing Bradley's death. In November, 1927, Bradley disposed of part of his collection at the Amer- ican Art Galleries in New York for $155,787. In May of last year he sold at Christie’s, in London, a Gothic tapestry, “The Great History of Troy,” for £3,465. Many works of art were consumed in a fire which destroyed the Bradley villa at Alexandria Bay, Thousand Islands, N. Y., in 1922, ‘The Bradley collection of Chinese vases, described as one of the finest in the world, was to be auctioned in England during the present jubilee year.

Headed by Mrs. Lillian Saffern of | & Chicago and Mrs. Rose Nelson of New York, the plainly dressed, determined women told tales of starvation and privation among working classes be- cause of the upward trend of food prices. They were especially bitter about alleged profiteering of “rich packers” who make money “at our expense through the A. A. A, the drought re- lief and the unemployment relief via the pig-slaughtering route.” After they called for an end of the *“A. A. A. food destruction program,” Dr. Calvin Hoover, A. A. A. consumers’ counsel, told them: “I'm tremendously interested in doing anything I can to keep down exorbitant profits, but in many re- spects we do not have the proper machinery.” it gt Reich Faces Shortages.

This Changing World Politicians Suggest France Adopt Realistic Policy Toward Germany. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. S A reply to what Paris calls “The British double crossing,” some daring French politicians suggest that France should out-British the British by a sensa- tional and spectacular move. It is suggested that the French government also adopt a realistic pol- icy toward Germany, and that realism should be translated in pronouncing the Versailles treaty as non-existent. This, it is believed in Paris and in Rome, would make the British look funny. i In the treaty of Versailles there are three main sections containing (1) the reparations obligations of Ger- many, (2) the military clauses and (3) the territorial “readjustments.” The first two have already been can- celed either by common agreement, as in the case of the reparations, or by unilateral action, as in the case of Germany’s air and land armaments, or by a bilateral agreement, as in the of Germany’s naval rearmament. The territorial clauses are still un- touched. But they do not worry France par- ticularly. As far as her own territory is concerned her boundaries are guar- anteed not by the Versailles treaty, which the Germans maintained was a dictated treaty, but by the Locarno agreement, which was signed by Prance, Great Britain, Germany and Italy on their own volition. Far-seeing French politicians main- tain that since the military and repa- ration clauses are dead and cannot be revived France has everything to gain by denouncing the Versailles pact and thus regain her complete liberty of action. * K K % Such a move would clarify many - | things in Europe. First of all, Poland, which has obtained the Danzig Cor- ridor as a result of the Versailles treaty, will have to decide with final- ity whether she wants to maintain that province through French as- sistance or by an agreement with Ger- many. Poland is nominally still France’s ally, but in fact has been flirting with Germany ever since Hit- ler came into office. She will have to define her policy clearly. * ok * x The cancellation of the Versailles pact would also reopen the whole ques- tion of the colonies which have been AT | taken from Germany after the World tor | War. Of these France has benefited only to a limited extent. It is Great Britain who has taken the cream of Germany’s colonial empire. The French age reported to be quite willing to surrender the mandate over the Cameroon colony and dis- cuss the question of the possession of the Togoland. But the British might be extremely annoyed if they had to return some of the 'ATRS. | ent in Italy’s colonial expansion and B0 minimum se “:‘mme 6171, . MARBLE—TILING AIRING llglolw 8731 |5 a “reconditioning” of Europe would " | permit him to direct all the efforts Ttaly towards that goal. Mussolini is annoyed with Britain because of her his Abyssinian plans, Now that the British have succeeded in antagonizing the French, too, he is rubbing his hands with glee and is delighted at the idea that the denunciation of the Versailles treaty might force Great Britain to hoid the bag—for once. * X ¥ X ‘The British government, realizing the painful impression the naval agree- ment with Germany has produced in Europe, are rushing Capt. Anthony Eden, the minister for the League of Nations, to Paris and to Rome to soft- soap the French and the Italians. He has a bag full of explanations and arguments and a trunk full of prom- ises of good will and friendship. But it will take more than Eden’s dulcitone voice to convince Laval and Mussolini of the necessity of the British-German naval agreement. Stanley Baldwin, who is the chief supervisor of Britain’s foreign policy, hopes for the best and is ready to face all the consequences of his new policy toward the Reich. He is convinced that as soon as Paris has gotten over its fit of ill temper everything will be all right. In the meantime he is preparing another reshuffle in his cabinet, which does not represent completely the national unity idea. Two men are still missing from the cabinet and' both are demanded by a large majosity of the British people. These two men are David Lloyd George, the war-time premier, and the stormy petrel of British politics, the dynamic Winston Churchill. * K X X David Lloyd George has staged an impressive political comeback. He has some constructive ideas about the eco- nomic crisis which appeal to the Brit- ish masses, Furthermore, he still has about 3,000,000 votes behind him and that might prove an important asset at the next general elections. ‘Winston Churchill is considered by the blue-white of other years. And, judging by the size of the Wsflt‘e Brigade we’ve al- ready fitted, it’s a style that most men want. everybody in the British empire as the only counterpart to Gen. Goering, Hitler’s minister of aviation. The present huge development of the Brit- ish air force demands a man of Churchill’s caliber at its head. * % %% The British airplane factories are working literally day and night. Besides the huge orders from the British government, there are orders from several European countries for speedy delivery of the latest types of fighting planes. * %k x Although only the cream of society is invited to dinner at the Bucking- ham Palace, valuable silver has been stolen from the palace during the jubilee state dinners. Antique silver spoons, forks and knives, as well as pepper pots, have been slipped in the ladies’ bags; they do not mean to steal but merely to gather souvenirs from the belongings of the beloved sov- ereign. The Buckingham Palace authori- ties, who are accustomed to this pil- fering, are, however, puzzled as to how some “souvenir hunter” got away with a large silver platter, which could not be hidden in a bag or in the pocket of a tailcoat. BONUS ARMY HEARS 2 REPRESENTATIVES Leader Plans to Push Drive After Marcantonio and Burdick Speak at Rally. Claiming a membership of 1,700, with more arriving daily, the 1935 bonus army under leadership of David W. Smith today announced “we are ready to go to town in our demands for payment of the bonus.” Meeting in a parking lot across John Marshall place from the Tran- slent Bureau, where most of the army 1s staying, the veterans Jast night were addressed by two members of Con- gress, Representatives Vito Marcanto- nio of New York and Usher L. Burdick of North Dakota. Both advocated payment of the bonus, differing only in the method of payment. Marcan- tonio suggested bond issues, while Bur- dick wanted inflation. Burdick said he has organizers in various parts of the country recruiting bonus marchers. He sald officialdom is attempting to keep the bonus army below the 2,000 mark by sending them to work camps outside the District of Columbia. “But they keep bouncing back,” he added. Besides payment’ of the bonus the veterans want work in a work camp set up especially for them instead of in the transient camps, which he termed “chain gang camps.” Club to Hear Radio Band.

WALK-OVER £ 929 F N.W. ROOSEVELT SEES SON'S BOAT LOSE Crimson Jayvees Narrowly Miss Victory as Eli Oars- men Catch Crab. By the Associated Press. A REGATTA COURSE, NEW LON- DON, Conn., June 21.—For the second straight year President Roosevelt saw his lanky, black-haired son Franklin D, jr., rowing a losing oar today as Yale swept the two morning prelim- inaries of the seventy-third Harvard- Yale regatta. The Crimson junior varsity, in which the President’s third son pulled the No. 4 sweep, lost the 2-mile sprint to the Ell jayvees by so scant & mar- gin it was almost undiscernible, after the Yale freshmen beat the Harvard frosh over the same course from the submarine base to Bartletts Cove by & margin of about 8 feet. Spectacular as was Yale’s freshman victory, the jayvee battle surpassed it in thrills as the Crimson boatload, trailing by almost a length_suddenly wiped out the deficit as the Eli oars- men caught a crab about 100 yards from the finish line, ‘While the President, wearing his old linen fishing cap for luck, peered anxiously from the bow of Referee Albert W. Palmer’s launch, the Har- vard jayvee boat swept up within & scant yard of Yale. Quickly the Elis rallied, caught the beat again, and just managed to slide over the finish line a couple of feet in front. Magnificent weather smiled on the brilliant regatta crowd as Yale headed for its second consecutive clean sweep of all three of the day’s races, with the varsities climaxing the occasion with their 4-mile pull from Bartlett's Cove down to the railroad bridge at 6 pm.

Half Million Women Eligible For Jobs Under Work Relief Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward Faces Task of Placing Them in Positions. Survey Shows Extreme Variation in Problem of Finding Projects. By the Associated Press. A half million women eligible for fobs under the works program were disclosed today as the problem before Mrs. Ellen 8. Woodward, who will direct the women's phase of relief. About 290,000 of these, according to figures compiled last February by the Emergency Relief Administration, were then employed on relief projects under the direction of Mrs. Wood- ward, who shifted over to the new organization with her old boss, Harry L. Hopkins, Principal projects open for the women workers are: Records and clerical work; research and special surveys, library projects, music, art and drama projects, recreation, health, emergency health programs, nutrition, canning, sewing and community serv- ice. The quiet-spoken director of the women’s work brought with her to Washington varied training in Missis- sippl, including service in the State Legislature, on the State Board of Public Welfare, in the State Con- ference on social work, the research commission and the State Board of Development. A survey by the women’s section of the F. E. R. A. disclosed an “ex- treme variation in the problem of finding projects that are suitable for the available women on the relief rolls in any given locality.” In some sections the majority needing work were fitted mainly for household tasks, while in others they were more adapt- ed to other forms of employment such as clerical or art work.
