FILM STAR, DIRECTOR DEBATE FIRE BLAME Warner Baxter “Flop” as Fire Chief, Says Malibu Mayor. By I'niti <1 I’rrxn SANTA MONICA, Cal., Nov. 6. Either anew “mayor” will replace Alan Dwan, or anew fire chief will succeed Warner Baxter at Malibu Beach, motion picture colony, it was predicted today. Demands that Baxter resign were made by Dwan, a director, after a fire swept four Malibu homes. “A fine fire chief you are,” said “Pop” Dwan. “With the ocean at your door, you cry there wasn't enough water. You weren’t even on the job.” “And where were you?” was Baxter’s comeback. “When the fire chief is absent, the mayor is acting chief. That should hold you.” Fire department equipment consists of a dozen buckets and a small reel of hose.

NAN BRITTON, DENIED BALM, WIdAPPEAL Jury Returns Verdict in Hour and 15 Minutes, in Libel Suit. By I'nitrd Prt ** TOLEDO, 0., Nov. 6.—Case of Nan Britton, denied judgment by a federal court jury Thursday in her $50,000 libel suit against C. A. Klunk, Marion hotel keeper, will be taken to the United States district court of appeals, her attorney, William Fish Marsteller, announced today. Miss Britton sought judgment on the grounds that Klunk defamed her reputation by selling copies of “The Answer to ‘The President’s Daughter’,” which denied her previously written allegations that Warren G. Harding was the father of her 12-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Ann. Should the court of appeals at Cincinnati refuse to grant a reversal, the case will be taken to

the United States supreme court, Marsteller said. A jury of ten men and two women deliberated an hour and fifteen minutes before returning a verdict in favor of Klunk in the courtroom of Judge John M. Killits. Miss Britton was not present. She had gone to her hotel room to be with her daughter, after the jurors had been instructed by Judge Killits to judge the case upon the merits of the plaintiff’s reputation. Three ballots were taken.

SECOND TRAFFIC NOTICES PUZZLE CITY MOTORISTS Police Practice Criticised by ‘Offenders’ Given No Prior Notification. Indianapolis motorists today brought forward another “bone” to pick with the police traffic department. Several complaints have been lodged with attaches of the department by autoists who have had the shock of opening a letter and finding a “second notice” for traffic law violation. This “second notice” is the first one the alleged violator receives and

states that on a certain date he, or she, violated a certain traffic law. Often, motorists do not recall the violation or where they were driving on the date, sometimes two or three weeks past. Captain Lewis Johnson, head of the department, said the “second” warnings are sent after police copy the license number of a car which has violated some traffic law. This, Johnson said, is done by officers on downtown street corners, who can not leave their posts to pursue motorists for minor law infractions without congesting traffic. Several motorists have complained to The Times that they did not violate the law and believed officers had erred in obtaining the license numbers from a distance. Several of the “second notices” victims have stated they may refuse to pay fines “because we never even heard of a first notice.” New British income taxes are ninety times our own proportionate rate for married men and 100 times that for bachelors without deductible dependents.
