M.P. DEMANDS BAN ON "LOVE" GAME
"Cross Insult" to Archbishop
BECAUSE he regards it as a "gross insult" to the Archbishop of Canterbury, an M.P. is to demand a ban on an American card game called "Love."
Ho is Colonel Harry Day and he is to ask a question about the game---which also mentions the Duke and Duchess of Wind-
Bor.
