...many a far-flung U. S. legation. The Department warned that extraordinary precautions would be wise (TIME, June 21), after several persons had been killed. Last week the ill-guided demonstrations came to a peak in Paris, as the day of death approaches the two Italians. Ten thousand Parisian workers in embattled assemblage decried the execution, maintaining as always, that the men are being made the victims of anti-radicalism.

Three sets went 7-5, 4-6, 8-6-the middle one to Rene Lacoste, the other two to Vincent Richards. Miss Wills bagged two sets from Mme.Rene Mathieu, 6-3, 6-4. Howard Kinsy took two sets out of three from Paul Feret, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
