Mr. Jones outlines the qualifications and background which he deems essential in one who aspires to head the lending agencies which deal in billions. Mr. Wallace appears in defence of the present arrangement, and states that he would make loans available for the small borrower as well as the large.

HEAVIES GET PLAYFUL ON MAT
SEATTLE, WASH.--Two beefy groan-and-grunt boys, Wee Willie Davis and Casey Columbo, mix it up for the entertainment of spectators and the increased use of arnica. Columbo looks like a midget next to his giant competitor, but he gets in a few healthy swings just the same.

The greatest pageant of the twentieth century unfolds before London and the world, as Elizabeth, Britain's winsome young queen is crowned amid and splendor evolved over a thousand years.
WHOLE WORLD REPRESENTED
Not only from the far flung British Dominions, but every major power, ranking representatives are present to witness the event, while hundreds of thousands of visitors throng the capital to witness the glittering spectacle. Every foot of the coronation procession route is occupied by eager spectators.
HISTORIC CEREMONY
In the hush of Westminster Abbey's vastness peers and peeresses in scarlet ceremonial robes witness the supreme moment, when, after being annointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Queen has placed on her head the crown of St. Edward. She is then enthroned. All the pageantry originated since the day of William the Conqueror and the subsequent days of feudal chivalry enter into the ceremony.
A RADIANT QUEEN
The ritual over, Queen Elizabeth rides over a procession route that takes her through the ancient landmarks of London amid millions cheering themselves hoarse. Back at Buckingham palace she appears on the balcony with her family--the symbol of new hope for austerity-ridden Britain.
