Chamberlain Urges Calm as War Risk Lingers
In his first foreign affairs speech as head of the reorganized government, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain urged calm and patience to keep peace in Europe. He tied policy to confining the Spanish Civil War to Spain, and warned the snow of conflict could move unless restraint is exercised. He noted Britain’s $7.5 billion rearmament and suggested peace may still be saved. The speech also touched on the disputed Loyalist submarine incident near Leipzig, with Germany and Loyalists offering conflicting accounts.

No Gift Found In Elderly Man's $2000 Payment To Widow
Judge Findley ruled that a $2,000 transfer from a 72 year old man to a 37 year old widow, made days before his death, was not a gift. The administrator of the late E W Feeney's estate sought to transfer Avon Lake property per a contract with the widow. The court noted the brief romance and questioned the intent, ultimately granting the administrator's request.
