London, To-day.

The heads of Imperial Chemical Industries, giving evidence before the Arms Commission were succeeded yesterday by Major Clark, Man aging Director of Hadfield's, a big Sheffield or ganisation, who denied that Hadfield's had sold their armour-piercing shells or had allowed peo- ple to manufacture them on licence to eight for- eign countries. He added that there was no se-
