DESERTER DEATH PENALTY DROPPED Parliament Makes Change in Army’s Regulations London, April 4 UP—The British house of commons, yoting last night on the army and ‘airforce bill, pass- cd the amendment of a labor mem- ber to abolish the death penalty for desertion while in active service. The vote of 219 to 35 apparently scttled one of the most debated questions which arose out of the war-time dis- cipline of British forces. The amendment substituted penal servitude for desertion in the face of an enemy and was supported among others by Oliver Baldwin, labor member and son of the conservative leader, Stanley Baldwin. Other pro- visions of the bill which were pass- cd abolished the death penalty for| cowardice in certain cases. In introducing the amendment abolishing the penalty for desertion while in active service Ernest Thurtle, the author, argued that| since the death senterce no longer | was in force for cowardice—this| provision had been passed previous Iy—there was no logic for retaining | it for desertion. He stated that out of 287 men exccuted while serv with the colors during, the war, or 92 per cent, were shot for deser- tion, b 4,| Says Many Deserted He argucd that the death penalty did not stiffen the backs of the sol- diers, for, in addition to those who were shot, 17,000 men deserted. Tom Shaw, secretary of state for war, in his answer said that provisions for exccution of deserters should be so hedged around that they could be applied only to those who deserted in cold blood and not to those whose nerves could not stand the strain. Through a misunderstanding, la- hor members supported another amendment, to which they were in fact opposed, for the retention of the death penalty for soldiers quit- ting their posts or causing false alarms to be spread. This amend- ment probably will be deleted later. l Flashes of Life ] By the As: ated Press. New York—Woman has a greater chance for old age than man.

LINDBERGHS BUY NEW TYPE FLYING SUITS Colonel and Wife to Have Electrical- 1y Heated Garments—Date of Return East Uncertain. Los Angeles, April 4 (UP)—When Col. and Mrs. Charles A, Lindbergh return east, probably in the near fu- ture, their flying togs will be quite the latest thing in spring aviation apparel. The couple had delive two electrically heated flying suits, designed by Dr. R. R. Charles. Col. Lindbergh decided he didn't want one of Dr. “electric” suits, so the inventor con- trived a cloth made of fabric im- pregnated with rubber under 13 tons pressure. Virgin fleece and mohair satin were used in the lining. Llectric cables have heat centers in the chest, back, arms and legs of the suits. They will produce 140 de- grees of heat from a 12-volt battery. A special generator installed on the Lindbergh monoplane will furnish the current. The colonel said today that he ex- pects to return east soon but that a date has not been set. \BLIND GIRL PRONOUNCED POSSIBLE OPERA “FIND” Diva Impressed With Child's Voice —Hopes of Restoring Ruth Ham- merquist's Sight Ave Held.
