Morrison's Jibe. At Winston Churchill

London, Sept. 20-Mr Herbert Morrison, De- puty Prime Minister, opened the second reading of Government's Bill to curb the Lords today with a dry comment on Mr Winston Churchill's vacation' expenses.

Mr Morrison said that he hoped Mr Churchill, now vacationing in South France, had observed the £35 limit imposed on all British tourists.

Inaccurate Setting Of Instruments May Have Caused Air Collision

London, Sept. 20. Possible errors in the accuracy for the setting of instruments leading to mistakes in estimated heights were mentioned by a Ministry of Civil Aviation representative, Mr. J. Hewson, when a public enquiry opened today into the collision of two planes and the loss of 39 passengers here on July 4.

One plane, a Royal Air Force York transport aircraft, ending a flight from the Far East, car- ried 16 pussengers, including Sir Edward Gent, then High Commissioner for Malaya. The other plane was n. Swedish Douglas Cloudmaster airliner.

Mr Hewson said that both alr craft appeared to be airworthy, and they were manned by experienced flyers, who were supplied with the Instructions, necessary meteorological information.
