Woman Leaps To Death

London, Mar. 12. - A woman leapt to her death from a first floor window today with her nightdress in flames. The woman,. Mrs Emily Maud Sinton, 47, of Lionel Road, Brentford, was washing in the bedroom when her nightdress caught fire from an electric fire. She rushed into the next room and jumped out of the window, falling 15 feet on to a concrete path.

As she was climbing out, the flames set fire to the curtains and the window frame. She died shortly after arrival in a hospital. -Reuter

COORDINATION OF POLICIES

Federation Planned

London, Mar. 12.-Seventy-three Members of Parliament of all parties, except the Communist, today placed # resolution before Parliament demanding a European Union in the fullest sense and calling for the immediate establishment of a Council of Western Europe with authority to co- ordinate social, economic and defence policies, to organise trade, to stabilise currency, and to deal with many other matters.

These Members include Conservative, Liberal and Liberal National representatives-all parties except the Communist. They will urge a House of Commons debate at the earliest moment. The present signatories include 35 Labour Members and 30 Conservatives. They range from Mr Quintin Hogg, Rightwing leader of the young Conservative "Ginger Group," to Mr Richard Grossman, the Leftwing Labour leader.
