prosaic
as
that
of

Queen's

manager
led
many
people
to
suspect
that
the
appointment
was
mostly
honorary.
That
it
is
anything
but
a
sinecure,
however,
was
made
plain
by
official
sources,
some
of
whom
said
the
appointment
was
considered
so
vital
that
the
King
himself
had
asked
Gen.
Browning
to
forsake
the
War
Office
and
assume
duties
alien
to
his
experience,
if
not
to
'his
nature.
"It's
almost
as
if

France

commented
one
who
has
known
Gen.
Browning
as
the
builder
of

one
of
the
heroes
of
the

when
as
a

of
the
celebrated

In

was
decorated
for

was

and
survives
today
as
a

of
admiration

CHURCHILL
ASKS
FOR
INVESTIGATION
Possibility
of
further
repercussions
is
seen
in
the
demand
from
Winston
Churchill
for
an
Investigation
by
a
House
of
Commons
committee.
He
termed
Dalton
as
the
"brightest
mind"
in
the
Labor
government
and
sympathized
with
him
in
the
situation
in
which
he
found
himself.
It
was
a
reporter
of
the
Labor
paper,
the
Star,
who
intercepted
Dalton
as
he
entered
the
House
of
Parliament
to
deliver
the
budget
and
obtained
from
him
in-
j
formation
as
to
the
contents
of
t
the
budget
which
were
then
published
in
advance
of
its
delivery.
After
seeing
the
King,
Prime
Minister
Attlee
-formally
accept
ed
the'

Canadian
Broadcasting
Corporation

are
continuing
and
every
effort1
is
being
made
to
work

out
sat
isfactorily."
The
Public

Department
enters
into
the
picture
through
controlling
Government
Tele
graphs

At

the
National
Hockey
League

not

to
the

.working
from
the
basis

some
