Damage Suits Filed Against

Film Companies

ATLANTA. Jan. 5—(Asscciated Press)—Two damage suits for $1.- 000,000 each were filed in city court here today against Warner Brothers Pictures, Ina, and Vita- phone Inc. as producers and dis- tributors of the fllm "I Am A Fu- gitive From A Chain Gang” based on the book of Robert Elliot Burns, fugitive from Georgia.

The suits were filed by J. Hamid Hardy, warden of the Troup Coun- ty chain gang, from which Burns last escaped, and Paul Phillips, warden of the Campbell County chain gang. from which Burns made his first escape after serving only a. short. time following a con- viction for robbery. , 1

Warden Hardy recently wont to New Jersey to appeal for Burns’ return to Georgia. Governor Har- ry Moore refused extradition.

The suits set forth that nll in- cideritlswiff" both "Bhrh s‘ book’ "find the-film produced from it, “arc untrue. vicious and defamatory and constitute a libelous attack on the wardens and their respective chain gang camps." -

“Port And - Starboar l’

(siltfliil-l to The Guardian)

MONTREAL, Qua, Jan. 5.—An- other of the old nautical terms handed down from sailing ship days has gone by the board with the in- troduction of the new steering ord- ers.

Under the old rules the order from the ship's officers to the wheelsman was “starboard" when it was desired to steer the ship to the left and "port” when they de- sired to turn to the right.

"Star-board’ in nautical terms means right and "port" left so that the directions were opposite to the order. Captain E. E. Tedford, Marine Supt. of the Canadian Na- tional Steamships, in commenting upon the change said it is only log- lcal.

The old regulations he continued were inconsistent and is a relic oi the days when ships were steered directly by the tiller. One pushed the tiller to the "port" or to the left and the rudder was in conse- quence pushed to "starboard" or to the right which in turn had the ef- fect of making the ship veer to the right, hence the order “port your helm," means "proceed to star- board" or in the right.

Capt. Tedford foresees the day when "port" andmstarboani" will be celled -re.spectively “left” and "right" even at sea. Such a change he remarked will be of inestirnable convenience to landlubbers and no great hardship for seamen,

The left and right hand sides of a ship looking forward towards to the bow are marked respectively by red and lreen lights hence the rule of the sea "green to green, red to red, perfect safety, go ahead."

Famous Winston

LONDON, Jan. 4.—(C PJ-It is surprising to mad that Winston Churchill was regarded as the dunce of Harrow School. _yet we are toldsthis in “Battlcfl published by Sampson bow. Hugh Martin has chosen this title for the short dio- graphy of a man who, whether in office or out, looms prominently in British and foreignbeyes.

As an old Parliamentary Gallery Correspondent and a journalist who lras run across the subject of his book in peace, war and riot in many and strange surroundings, Mr. Mar- tin obviously entertains a sincere admiration for Mr. Churchill's abil- ities.

Canada And _ The Pound

SAINT JOHN, N’. B.-(Canad1an Press)—'l‘he establishment of‘ the Canadian dollar on a parity with the British pound and the issue of a spacial loan to cover aLIy loss duo to ' ooimnitments in the lmitod States would revitalize Canadian industry. Dlri-icularly in the ex' port field. “ould increase employ- ment, and thus, in the final analys- is, lighten the tcrr fie burden of taxation on the Dominion, provin- ces and municipalities. This opin- ion was expressed today by Hon. L. P. D. Tlley, Minister of Lands and Minds in the New Brunswick Government. He was spiakllig to a group of Saint John business men at e luncheon aboard the liner Ascanla.

Mr. Tilley said that the ensuing twelve mozzllrs would be the most vital in the history of Saint Jolm, of Canada and the world. It was futile to talk of increasing steam- ship services across the Atlantic unless there was something to be put _i_.n the ships, there must be in- creased trade and commerce

Mr. Martin gives up a picture of Churchill engaged in 1roliilcs as up- per dog or under dog or devoting his time to writing books, expres- sing bold views in journalism, foi- lowlng military pursuits, or even applying himself to thc _ peaceful recreation of oil-painting.

"Battle" is interesting in that it refreshes the memory regarding British historical events of the last 30 years, in a great number of which Churchill has played his part. and often a prominent part at that.
