Naval AviatOrs
Rescued At Sea

HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. 10.
U.P(-Five navy aviators, forced
down in stormy waters during bat
tie fleet war maneuvers, were res
cued early today by tug which
battled three hours to reach them.
Chief Aviation Pilot O'Donnel
and his four comrades were picked
up just as the plane began singing
from the long pounding of waves.
The seaplane was abandoned.
O'Donnel's craft was part of the
black force which has been as
signed to locate the blue" fleet
now enroute here to ATTACK" the
islands. Off the Ulumalu coast, on
the eastern shore of Maui island
engine trouble sent the plane into
the water
A fellow aviator saw the acci-
dent and signaled for help, circling
over the spot and sending up flares
to aid the rescuers.

FLYERS STRIKE
AS REDUCTION
MADE in PAY

CHICAGO, Feb. TO- U.P)-The Air
Line Pilots association today
pledged its aid to 81 union pilots
affected by a wage dispute with
Century Air Lines.
The aviators revealed the dispute
was not strictly the country'S first
air strike, but rather more in the
nature of a lockout.
Each pilot received his "resigna-
ton yesterday together with an
unsigned contract calling for a re-
duction in the minimum monthly
payment to $3.50 from $3.50.
David Behncke, president of the
pilots union of which the 81 avia-
tors were members, announced the
organization would blacklist any
pilot who signed with Century lines
at the new wage scale. In addition
benefits will be paid the 81 men
pending settlement of the dispute
until they obtain other jobs.
Behncke, whose organization is
affiliated with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, said he attempted
to settle the controversy through
a federal conciliator but that the
Century management refused to
confer with the arbiter.
All Century planes were reported
grounded by the wage disagreement
with the exception of the Chicago
st. Louis flight yesterday. Century,
Pacific planes were not affected.

MUSCAT PROVES
TO BE TOO HOT
FOR ITS SULTAN

MUSCAT, Arabia, Feb. 10. UP)-
Sir Saiyid Taimur Bin Faisal Bin
Turki, sultan of Muscat, and ruler
of the hottest place on earth, Is
about to resign in favor of
his heir.
MuScat never seemed to appeal
to the sultan, perhaps due to its
frequent temperature of 189 de-
grees in the sun and an average
annual rainfall of only 81 inches.
He lived for long periods in India.
Sir Saiyid has announced he would
abdicate at the end of Ramadan,
the Mohammedan month of fasting
which began January 10 and ends
today.
The prospective successor, Saiyid
Said, is a bright youth educated
at an Arab school in Bagdad.
The closest relations exist be-
tween the government of India and
the Sultan'S regime. Bertram
Thomas, English explorer and
writer, was the sultan's minister of
finance and grand vizer for five
years.
Muscat is valuable to the British
as a naval port, for it commands
the entrance to the Persian gulf.
Muscat, surrounded by Arabian
deserts and hemmed in by huge
rocks, has well earned the title of
the earths hottest place. The sui
tan has palace in the center of
,-l~
electric light. He also has pri-
vate cinema and one automobile.
His income is about $4,000 a year.

PEACE PROGRAM
OF ITALY GIVEN
TO CONFERENCE
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Feb. 10-Italy is ready
to abolish capital ships, sub
marines, aircraft carriers, heavy
artillery, all kinds of tanks and
bombing aircraft, and all means of
aggressive chemical and bacterio-
logical warfare, the Immediately
tailored, striking Foreign Minister
Dino Grandi told the world dis
armament conference today.
Grandi suggested that abolition
of armaments be followed by re-
vision of the laws of war to insure
more complete and effective pro-
lection of civilian populations.
He opposed the French thesis
that security must precede disarm-
ament. THE facts show that with
out disarmament there can be no
security Grandi said.
THE task of this conference is
to fortify justice, and not to
justify force
japanese delegate Tsuneo Mat
Sudaira followed Grandi and out
lined Japan's disarmament policy
as acceptance of the League of
Nations draft disarmament con-
vention as basis for negotiations,
consideration of geographical
position as affecting national Sc
curity, and willingness to collabo-
rate on workable propositions for
reduction of air and land arma-
mentS.
Japan favors reduction of the
size and gun caliber of battleships,
reduction or total abolition of air.
craft carriers, regulation but not
abolition of submarines, and pro-
hibition of air bombardment and

TOXIC, Feb 10. - Government
and civil leaders appeared in
agreement today on the adoption
of a more conciliatory attitude in
Japan's dealings with China and
other powers.
The change in front was ex-
pected as the result of an i'm
portant conference of military and
cabinet officials, and was believed
due in large measure to the pres
sure being brought to bear by i'm
portant nations.
The result of diplomatic efforts
to halt fighting at Shanghai and
generally clarity the no-Japanese
situation became increasingly ap-
parent by the activities of the
leaders.
The supreme councillors of war
and navy met informally with
Premier Inukai and Foreign Minis
ter Kengichi Yoshizawa to discuss
the Shanghai situation. The cabi-
net members explained their views
and were understood to have re-
ferred to peace efforts of other
powers, including the United
States, Great Britain and France
In the meantime, it was reported
that leading Japanese capitalists
are joining with the elder states
man, or samurai, the principal ad-
visors to Emperor Hirohito, in an
attempt to restrain the extreme
militarists.
The result of these developments
is expected to be a more open at
titude in Japan's diplomatic deal
ings and decrease in the
tension" now existing.
Although undercover diplomatic
negotiations for a cessation of
warfare in China apparently haG
collapsed, the powers were under
stood to have accepted Japanese
explanations that nothing perma-
ment was intended in it's military
operations in the Yangtze Valley,
near Shanghai.
In consequence, it was under
stood that apprehension has dis
appeared regarding the Philippine
Islands and British interests in
Singapore and elsewhere.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (U,pD =
The destroyer Parrott, now senior
United States naval vessel at
Marking, reported to the navy
today that 81 Ameri-
can citizens are remaining at that
city, and the situation there is
quiet.
Adm. M. M. Taylor, commanding
American naval forces in Chinese
waters, radioed that he was con-
tinuing to augment the patrol on
the YangtZe river He shifted the
destroyer Smith Thompson from
Shanghai to patrol the lower
Yangtze. 1t is assumed the Smith
Thompson later will proceed to
Marking
The destroyer Edsall has been
moved from Marking to Wuhu,
about 70 miles farther up the river.
From Manila the department was
advised that the large auxiliary
ship, Gold Star, had arrived from
Hongkong and would stand by to
await orders to move back to China
to eyacuate Americans if necessary.
NANKING, Feb. 10. U.PSFor-
eign Minister Lo Wen-Kan said
today he was continuing conversa-
tions with Nelson T. johnson,
United States minister, in an ef-
fort to arrange a truce in the war
fare at Shanghai. He was pessi-
mistic.

CATION district to express an opin-
ion.
Two recall elections also will be
voted upon tomorrow. In division

vision No. 3, voters will decide
whether or not they wish to retain
w. o. Blair as director and If not

Polls will open at 6 o'clock in
the morning and close at O'Clock

Interest in the outcome of the
election is at fever heat in all sec
tions of the district and the ALL
Amrican Canal contract is the
main topic of conversation at all
valley gatherings.
Public meetings called by those
tayoring the contract and those op-
posing it increased in attendance
until 1t is declared it is almost
impossible for a resident of the
district to lack adequate informa-
ton concerning the contract.
Prediction opinion seems to be
prctically unanimous that the con-
tract will be approved, the only
room for argument being on the
size OF the plurality it will poll.
Heavy voting is expected particu-
larly in the Calexico and Calipatria
divisions where recall battles have
been waged between factions for
weeks past Opinion is strongly di-
vided as to the outcome of the re-
calls.
Voters are urged to make GER
tam as to their proper polling place

cinctS.
