Mexico City, Apr. 1.

CHARLES FREDERICK WHALLEY, Yorkshireman,

ex-R.A.F. airman and bank clerk, sentenced in Decem- ber 1933 to sixteen years' penal servitude for the murder of a bank manager, his former employer, is now a good con- duct prisoner.

He is serving his sentence at the Mexico Federal District peni- tentiary, Mexico's largest prison. There are 2,315 prisoners, of whom about one third are women.

I drove to the prison to-day to interview Whalley. The jail stands amid public parks and flower gardens. The grim granite walls are covered with climbing plants.

SMOKING AN ENGLISH BRIAR

Warders and soldiers, heavily armed, patrolled platforms around the tops of the walls. Others kept guard in a lofty central watch tower, equipped with machine-guns, searchlight, alarm syren and tear gas bombs.

Six convicts, wearing the unsightly uniform of long-term pri- soners-black and white lengthwise striped jacket and long trou- sers--offered to find Whalley for me.

Within a few minutes Whalley appeared. He holds his head high, with its mass of tawny hair-he is an excellent-conduct man. so his hair is long instead of being closely shaved. There is a spring in his step and he has a ready smile. He smoked an English briar pipe.

He is the proud possessor of three tennis rackets and the con- victs' tennis. championship. But his toes jut from his canvas tennis shoes..

"Toddle around to my cell," he said. "It's not such a bad place. I am the head batman-have charge of all the bathing apparatus." He chuckled.

BEAUTY WINNER

At a recent Beauty contest in Los Angeles Jean Chatburn won the prize from 2,000 contestants. She will be painted by soveral renowned artists.

£14,000,000 TOURIST RUSH

ON FROM AUSTRALIA

IT is estimated that Australians in London this season and those who will be there for the Coronation will spend nearly £14,000- 000.

A conservative estimate, based on figures supplied by shipping companies and tourist booking agencies, indientes that no fewer than 20,000 Australians will be in England by the end of the present tourist season in April and that next year's bockings, stimulated by the Coronation of King Ed- ward, will be 25,000.

On the minimum estimate of £300 expenditure by each visitor It is, therefore, estimated that these 45,000 Australians will spend £13,500,000.

A Higher Estimato The Australian Overseas Travel Service make a considerably high- er estimate, based on their Lon- don advices, advance bookings and statistics.

They estimate that the year's bookings, including the February-April tourist season, will see 26,000 Aus- tralians in London, and they estimate next year's traffic at 32,000.

Mr. F. L. Sellers, of Thos. Cook and Sons, sald European for bookings

December, January and February were 25 per cent, higher than any previous year.

Allowing for the minimum re- turn fare of £100, few. tourists spend less than £100, and those who have already gone to England HONGKONG to remain for the Coronation will doubtless spend considerably www more.

They report that "the most humane way of executing criminalo is the electric chair."
