C.L.D. CHIEF ON HIS
RESIGNATION,
&
"THREE MONTH'S MUD SLINGING AGAINST POLICE."
HOLIDAY, THEN A JOB.
Sir Wyndham Childs, Assistant Commissioner of Police and hend of the Criminal Investigation De- partment of Scotland Yard, has fasued a denial of statements which have appeared concerning his resignation,
Since Sir Wyndham loft Scot- land Yard thoro hos beon much speculation as to his reasons for following his chief, Sir William Horwood, into retire- ment. It hna been' hinted that! there have been serious differences of opinion with the Home Offico.
In the House of Commons the Home Secretary stated that Sir. Wyndham had given him no rea- son for his resignation, but he assured the House that it had no- thing to do with any inquiry Into the affairs of the Criminal In- vestigation Department. He add- ed that they were all aware that Sir Wyndham had been feeling the strain of his heavy and responsible post.
"The Rest in Silence,"
A Press representative found Sir Wyndham in the raftered barn which serves as garage to his country house. Clad in plus fours and a leather motor cont, ho was bending over the open bonnét of his car..
Ile straightened' himself up-a young man in appearance for bin 52 years and smilingly exhibited his greasy hands.
"I know what you have come about," he said.
"Well, have nothing to say about my reasons for leaving Sent- land Yard. I said that when my retirement was announced, and 1 say so again now. Nor shall I say anything about it at any future. date.
"Dend Tired."
"The Home Secretary has said.. We are aware that he has been feeling the heavy strain and res- ponsibility of the post."
"I certainly have fell the strain. I admit that I am tired-lead tired for the last three months at Scotland Yard, with all the ac- cuantions and mud-slinging against the police, have been hell. "But I don't want the world to think that I nmn a sort of broken- down invalid, for I have still plenty of physical strength left.
"What I resent is the apparent desire on the part of certain sec tens of the Press to make a mys- tery of my resignution where there is no mystery.
. "I am sick of the whole busi- ness, and the sooner it is forgotten the better."
"I Must Have Work." Sir Wyndhamm It # cigarette from a case of gold, which bore the inscription:
From the officers and men of the Criminal Investigation Depart- ment, as a mark of high esteem and appreciation of his administra- lion as Assistant Commissioner of Police 'during seven happy years.
Asked about his plans for the future, Sir Wyndham said: "I am going to have a good holiday- some shooting-and then I shall look round for a job. I must have work of sume kind."
BISHOP ON VARSITY DRINKING.
"STILL A SERIOUS NEED OF IMPROVEMENT."
Cambridge, Nov. 1. Cambridge is mildly amused over an attack which a distin- guished Bishop has made on the | University. At a
united Lemperance de- monstration held at Cambridge to-day Bishop Price, formerly Bishop of Fuklen, Japan, and now Archdeacon of Ely, asked the ques- tion!
"Does a collego feast tend to strengthen public opinion in the direction of temperance?" He did not mean, he said, that a college feast was a bout of drink- Ing, but he simply raised the question in his own mind. He wondered what the walters, for instance, and others thought of what went on,
He was told that there was not Buch a loose rein on under- graduates' drinking now as there was forty or fifty years ago, but there was still a scrieun" need of Improvement.
The problem exciting the uni- versity is whether the Bishop was referring to undergraduate affairs, such as "bump" suppéra or to the collego feasts proper.
and
These feasts are held regularly, aro attended mainly by clergyman. It is considered the correct thing to taste the collego poit, but there is no compulsion about drinking.
Lending university officials to day expressed the opinion. that the Bishop had overstated the CASC, and there was nothing to worry about,'
