(From "Our Own Correspondent),

London. June 27.

Seven peers, besides Lord Ply- mouth, the Government spokes- man, contributed to the debate in the House of Lords on London trafic

I take these specimens of various points:

"GEN, WEYGAND AT ASCOT Considerable interest was roused at Ascot yesterday by Gen Wey- gand's appearance m the paddock,

Just before the start of the Wa- terford Stakes Sir Archibald Mont- gomery Massingberd, Chief of the Imperial General Star, escorted him into the saddling ring, where Lord Derby was watching his om-horse Pharillon being saddled for

the race.

Lord Killmatney-One cause of congestion is the enormous num- ber of huge, double-deck nibuses... Another is that a hold-up in some harrow street is often found to be due to some van or lorry drawn by a horse.

Lord Lamington.-. think the trouble at the peak hours is large- ly due to the number of private cars and empty taxicabs.

Lord. Howe (the racing -motor- 1st) One of the most potent forms (of congestion) in the West end is the crawling taxicabs..

I personally would like to see the police do a little more to encourage all forms of traffic to keep nearer to "the proper side of the road

THE LECTURER. LECTURED In the recent Hitler-Mussolini talks in Venice, the Duces. 20- titude. I am told, could best be sudimarised An tile American phrase, "I'm telling you."*

Herr Hitler's forte is the plat- form. His conception of discus- sion is limited to an impassioned delivery of a set speech, followed by silence until the moment has come to let loose a second barrel.

Bignor Mussolint refused to fall

in with this arrangement.

The Fuhrer. I understand good authority, began with a warm demand for fuller recognition of the Austrian Nazis. The reply was a stern lecture on their in- iquities, and a fervent expression of the hope that Chancellor Doll fuss would deal vigorously with their outrages.

This contact with the outer world may have opened the eyes of Herr Hitler to some realities.

Lord Derby greeted him warmly, and they chatted for some minutes in French. The general, a small man, with a ready smile, and quick movements, was in conventional morning dress and a grey top hat.

AMBIDEXTROUS -

Vivian McGrath, ranked No. 2 in Australia, is certain to attract many eyes at Wimbledon next week. He is a taller and brighte young man than last summer."

Given a sun-baked turf court, his double-handed drive, unique in its.controlled speed, fa likely to strain a few hearts opposed to him.

McGrath, like de Stefani, the Italian champion, is really an am bidextrous player; he only employs the right hand for the left-handed stroke as an extra support,
