SECRET AIR DEFENCE GUNS

DRITAIN is holding two armament secrets ready for

any air raiders.

These hints were dropped in Parliament this month: War Secretary Duff Cooper in the Commons: "Active considera- tion is being given to the replacement of existing guns by new anti-aircraft equipment of the Intest designs. First Lord of the Admiralty Viscount Monsell in the Lords: "We are more than satisfied with the progress we are making in anti-aircraft guns. Secret experiments have been carried out, and in the opinion of the Admiralty we now have adequate information for the protection of mo- dern battleships."

Mr. Duff Cooper, replying to a question, said he could not reveal why a new Vickers anti-aircraft gun-claimed to be world's best-had not been adopted by the Government,

Lord Monsell said Britain's battleships can now discharge

On Life For Buster

Hollywood, Mar, 15. Buster Keaton, screen comedian,' is a low man compared to the nervous wreck who was hauled away in an ambulance to a war veteran's hospital here four months ago, for an enforced rest under sedatives. Completely re- covered from the breakdown, ne- cording to his physician, he is in "the best shape in ten years.”

HUXLEY HECKLED

BECAUSE HE SAID ENGLAND WANTS A DICTATOR

London, Mar. 10. Professor Julian Huxley, plain- spoken British scientist whose grandfather helped Darwin link man and monkey, is being lam- pooned because he dared to sug- gest that a dictator might be a Godsend for England.

"A benevolent dictator grant- ing that a dictator can be benevo- lent-could with relatively small expense add perhaps two inches to the average stature of the population, six or eight pounds to

Demands of wife No. 1, the formér film star Natalie Talmadge, for $3,300 back alimony, settled out of court. Miss Tal- madge, mother of his two children, obtained a divorce in 1932, Keaton almost immediately afterwards suffering a nervous collapse that was a prelude to the more serious breakdown that nearly ended his acting days forever last October,

RECOGNITION REFUSED

Interviewed Dr. Nasu said in this connection:

He was arguing in support of his claim that Great Britain is "a nation of lop-sided scientists" and that scientific research is being directed toward war and destruc- tion while sociological and paychological research is ignored"

His speech was barely reported

attacks upon the free-thinking professor followed, not only be cause of his reference to a dicta- tor but because of what he said about Britain's educational sys- tem.

"Our system of clucation," he bad remarked in the course of his address, "is breeding a race of people to swallow facts, enjoy their prejudices and dislike the prejudices of others."
