Steward

Problem child of Britain's wartime Parliament has been Major Sir Herbert Paul Latham, M.P.,pink-&-white, hard-drinking heir to a large textile fortune. Divorced with much publicity this summer, he has been in constant hot water with military authorities and is currently awaiting court-martial for riding an Army motorcycle against regulations, smashing it and his own skull.

By law, no member of Britain's Parliament may resign or be fired. A member may vacate his seat by becoming Steward or Bailiff of His Majesty's Chiltern Hundreds, may be eased out of the House by being appointed to the post of Steward of the Manor of Northstead. There is no salary attached to these jobs and no work.

In London last week it was announced that Major Latham had accepted the Northstead Stewardship.
