Buck Stalked By Death Twice In
 Wild Cargo Film

During his recent six-month wild animal hunt in the Asia tic jungles to consumate an order from American zoos and film a picture Wild Car go' for RKO-Radio Pictures and the Van Beuren Corpora tion. Frank Buck had a brush with death on two occasions.
 In the jungle Buck was at- tackled by a regal python 30 feet long. He was being en- veloped in the coils when he saved himself with his revol- yer, shooting from the hip.
 Buck also faced death at the conclusion of his adventures. He was preparing to depart when a native boy brought in a basket encaging venom ous king cobra. As the boy handed Buck the basket, it's bottom dropped out and the snake fell to the ground. The boy fled while Buck remained virtually trapped, surround ed on three sides by packing cases. Aid was far away and he was without weapons.
 How Frank Buck escapes death during these hair-rais- ing moments are but two of the thrills with which Wild Cargo" is said to be jammed.

THIS AGE OF INVENTION

Twenty-Five years ago when you bought a tire you were lucky if it lasted 5000 miles. Now the normal expectation of a tire is from 10000 to 25,- 900 miles, and you are disap- pointed when it does not ex- ceed that. In fact, tires that have run from 10000 to 50,- 900 miles are not unknown.
 For that matter, the auto- mobile itself has been improv ed in about the same mea- sure. Shotguns and rifles are so much better than they were that wild life has scarce ly a chance. These new fowl ing pieces fill the air for an area of 30 square feet with shot. How can a duck get away? Electric light bulbs give three times the light they did at half the cost. Freight cars at the beginning of the century held 14 tons-now they hold 60 tons. Freight b. comotives used to have heavy loads when they pulled forty cars. Now there are trains of 100 cars.

SOVIET WAYS

Existing conditions in Russia
were under discussion today in an
executive session of the House
Foreign Relations Committee
which has before it a resolution
to withdraw recognition of that
country.
Ambassador William Bu1litt ap-
peared before the committee to
give his conclusions concerning
the Soviet Union.
According to Representative
Sam D. McReynolds, chairman OF
the committee, his colleagues do
not anticipate any discussion of
the withdrawal resolution but
have just asked the Ambassador
to tell them how things are
going across the ocean.
The resolution to sever relations
was introduced by Representative
George Holden Tinkham and will
be brought before the committee
at later date the chairman
said.
When the matter was first
brought to the attention of the
House by the Massachusetts, leg

overwhelming evidence that the
Soviet is sponsoring un-American
doctrines in this country. He
said:
"Russia has positively viO-
lated its pledge not to do SO,
made at the time we extended
recognition.
"Since the Communist Gov
ernment was recognized this
activity has been greater than
