His action was taken against the Police Department's alleged practice | of permitting arrested persons to] telephone only one person in an ef-| fort to effect their release from | Jail. i Judge McNelis said his action fol-| lows a series of complaints against | violation of their constitutional] rights by prisoners arraigned be-! fore him.

Urges Phone Inside Jail

When a person is arrested, he writes a name on a slip of paper for the turnkey to call. If the turnkey is unable to contact that person, no others are called, Judge McNelis said. He declared it “happens about every day now that someone complains that he was not allowed to use the telephone.” The judge said he believed a tele- Rr a phone should be placed inside the ; NG jail for the special use of the NEW YORE, Jie HY hae prisoners so that thev could keep Agents of the Federal Food and telephoning until they reached Drug Administration joined New someone who could post bond for york health authorities today in

Britain, he declared, will not submit to dictation by any country. In a political speech to a Conservative rally here Mr. Chamberlain reviewed the world situation and made the following points: 1. Germany's allegation of encirciement are a “grotesque travesty” of Britain's policy. If Germany drops her “unjust suspicions of others” and is willing to talk reason, Britain is prepared to co-operate in developing latent

While the two organizations disagree as to the best methods of raising funds for pensions, there already has been considerable cooperation between the two groups, in scattered instances.
