CANON SHEPPARD DIES IN'LONDON England’s “Broadcasting Parson” Was Militant Paci- fist With Large Following. By the Associated Press, LONDON, Nov. 1.—The very Rev. Canon Hugh Richard (Dick) Sheppard, long known as England’s ‘“broadcast- ing parson,” died yesterday at his home near St. Paul's Cathedral, wheye he had been canon and precentor since 1934. He was about 56. Generally considered unorthodox, he was a militant pacifist with a huge following. Only a week ago he was elected lord rector of Glasgow Uni- wversity by & vote that was considered s condemnation of the government's defense policy. He ordinarily did not wear conven- tional clerical garb and was said to have carried a clergyman's collar in his pocket to don hurriedly in case he met his bishop. He was deputy priest-in-ordinary o both King Edward VII and King George V. His father, the late Rev. Canon Edgar Sheppard, as subdean of the Chapels Royal, had preached be- fore Edward VII and Queen Victoria. Canon Sheppard. served as hon- orary chaplain to King George V, private chaplain to the Archbishop of Work and dean of Canterbury, as well as pggsident of the Sherlock Holmes Society of Detective Enthusi- asts. A few years ago he was left a be- quest of $100,000 by W. P. Bonbridge of Port Sewsll, Fla.

Continues to Win Adherents. The campaign continues to win ed- herents in other parts of the country. In a letter to The Star, Mrs. Edward A. Deming of West Hartford, Conn., said she first became acquainted with the art movement when she bought a ocopy of The Star on a train while en route to Savannah, Ga. for the Na- tional Convention of the Girl Scouts of America. Mrs. Deming, who ordered a set of the prints, is a Girl Scout leader and in this capacity is greatly interested in the development of art apprecia- tion among the younger generation of today. The first three groups of prints, available at The Star art booth or by mail, are still meeting with a wide public reception. These include Winslow Homer's “Bahama Tornado,” Marv Cassatt's “Mother and Child,” Thomas Eakins’ “Lady With a Setter” and Thomas Benton's “Lassoing Horses,” presented TS Present a New SPINETTE PIANO (The Minum made by Starr) We purc] hased 5 carloads early in the season to get the cost down low enough to offer this standard make, mahogany finished, FULL KEY- BOARD instrument at the unusual price of— *195 ON VERY EASY TERMS during the first week of the campaign to show American art as it is today; the second set, composed of Da Vinc! “Mona Lisa,” Michelangelo's “Crea- tion of Adam,” Raphael's “Madonna Tempi” and Titian's “Duke of Fer- rara,” all great classics of the Italian Renaissance, and the third group re- le sed last week, Durer's “View of Trent,” Holbein's “Anne of Cleves,” Breughel's “Peasant Wedding” and Massys’ “Banker and His Wife,” rep- resenting the Renaissance in Northern Europe. in Europe are included in the set of pic- ITALIANS LEAVE ROME, Nov. 1 (#).—Italy's delega- tion to the Nine-Power Conference on the Far Eastern crisis departed for Brussels today.
