Meaning Of Word "Useful"
Jondon, Mar. 11, Mr. Hugh Dalton, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, regards as use- ful" the preliminary dis. cussions that Britain has had with India, Egypt and Iraq for a settlement of sterling balances held by these countries.
He was replying to a question in the House of Commotis as to whether the British Government regarded the results, of 'the die- cussions as satisfactory.
Colonel Grosthwaite Eyre, Conservative, asked the Chancel lor to explain the word "useful" seeing that all the countries cou- cerned had said that negotiations had broken down? Could he give that the British any

"So Nice To Me'
Venice, Mar, 11.
Field Marshal Albert Kesselring today told the British Tribunal trying him for war crimes that he wanted to shield Lt-Col. Alexander P. Scotland, British agent who once served in the German Army, from possible reprimands for "being so nice to me" in London.
His statement came during a one-hour argument over the translation of a single German parti- cipale, "erbetenen," variously interpreted as seeking or requesting.
The argument began when the prosecution said Kessel- ring had "naked" his sub-com- manders for copies of their anti-partisan orders. The dia- puted word was used by Kes seiring in a written statement to Lt-Col Seatland in London last year.
