SHIRTS OF FAME
MR. THOMAS IDENTIFIES THEM LONDON. Fourteen boiled shirts and a dress waistcoat were displayed in Worthing Police Court. Former Cabinet Minister J. H. Thomas was there, too. He had come from Chepstow, in Monmouthshire —where he is now living at an hotel—to say the shirts and waistcoat were his. They were allgeed to have been stolen—along with presentation cutlery, a casket containing medals, silver wedding presents and other irreplaceable things. Four Canadian soldiers were committed for trial on a charge of having broken into a building where Mr. Thomas' furniture was stored. Mr. Thomas formerly lived at Milbury House, Ferring-on-sea near Worthing. His study was lined with cartoons of Dress Shirt Jimmy, Jimmy the Orator, and Jimmy the Dominions Secretary.
