u. S. PREPARES TO BUILD UP
AIR DEFENSE IN PACIFIC AREA

er attacked the United States, that
attack very likely would be made
by way of the great circle route
over the north Pacific. The Aleu-
tian islands lie almost astride this
route.
Fertilization of the islands or the
establishment of naval or military
bases on the Aleutians, Midway,
Wake or Guam Islands are specifi-
cally prohibited under the Wash
ington naval treaty. Japan, how
ever, has renounced this treaty
and it is due to expire December
81, 1886.
There is no prohibition, however,
on much of the preparatory work,
such as dredging the harbors, the
erection of radio stations, and
other equipment which later could
be taken over by the naval and
military forces.

"A sordid version of life in AL
catraz Island prison in San Fran
cisco bay was told today by William
Henry Ambrose, former narcotics
dealer. who was taken from Alca-

Ambrose told a story of a prison
of almost continual silence, where
even hard characters like AL Ca

are burning up over the rules and
regulations.
Ambrose, heavily guarded and ac-
companied by two San Quentin and
two Folsom prison cdnvicts, was
aboard a prison car with 10 other
deportees after spending a year in
Alcatraz. He is to be sent back to
England in line with a new federal
policy.

SoUiet Thief Gets

been caught and sentenced to four

Nicholas Sakharovs plan was
ingenious. He would visit an in

demand to examine the fire-eX-

cover that the eXtinguishers needed
recharging, and would pack them
away in a sack.
Then the willy Sakharov would
proceed to a second institution and
offer the equipment for sale. Fire

the young thief found many Gus

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. - The
United States tightened its aerial
grip on the Pacific ocean today
with the first step toward estab-
lishment of what may be series
of powerful air bases stretching
from the Pacific coast to Guam.
This was the Interpretation
placed by competent observers
upon President Roosevelts execu-
tive order Transforming the entire
western end of the Aleutian Is
lands, off the Alaskan coast, into
military and naval reservation,
where civilian flying is prohibited.
These observers believed the
dream of the navy admirals for the
past 10 years-establishment of
powerful naval air base on the
Aleutian islands from which the
naVy's long-range patrol and
bombing planes could operate in
conjunction with the fleet, is about
to come true.
Similar plans are known to be
under consideration by high naval
officials for establishing naval aer-
ial outposts on the Pacific islands
of Midway, Wake and Guam.
Navy officials consider it likely
that when the United States relin-
quishes the Philippines the home
base for the U. S. Asiatic fleet may
be established at Guam. This island
has a splendid harbor and could
be more easily defended from a
hostile Pacific power than the
Philippines, many navy officials
believe.
No Comment Made
Military and naval officials

FOES Of LONG
MOVE TOWARD
UNITED FRONT
Square Deal Association Is
Expected To Merge With Old
Guard OF New Orleans
BY ALAN COOGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

united Press Staff correspondent
BATON ROUGE, La, Aug. l3. -
The Square Dealers Association of
Louisiana - claimed membership,
10000 voters may join rebellious
New Orleans Democrats to give
Sen. Huey P. Longs political ma
chine its most serious challenge in
several years.
The Square Dealers currently are
the leading auti-Long force in the
state. Their chief strength is in
the rural parishes (counties).
Vice President Leo o. Lester said
the associations steering commit
tee is considering an alliance with
these groups to oppose the king
fish" in the January primaries:
Members of the New Orleans Old
Regulars Democratic clique who
have refused to desert Mayor T.
Semmes Walmsley in his fight to
retain his office against pressure
from Long. In this controversy
most of the Old Regulars ward
leaders have switched allegiance to
Long.
FERA workers who resent bitter
ly Longs TRADES against President
Roosevelt and his quarrelS with
new deal' chiefs, which they be-
lieve have prevented Louisiana
from receiving its full share of re-
lief benefits.
To Break Machine
Scattered anti-Long units, in
New Orleans and in rural parishes,
through whose failure to unite t.. the
kingfiSh owes much of his political
!, success.
\ Our steering committee is de-
ating proposals to join other anti
long groups" Lester declared.
while we are non-political or
ganization, our aim is to break
Longs machine and restore Demo-
cratic government to Louisiana.
If such an alliance were shown to
be the means of attaining that end,
we probably would be agreeable to
it.
Full Study Promised
I'VE are going into all the rami-
fications of the situation, and the
committees decision will be made
On the basis of whether such a un-
ion would materially aid our cause. "
The "kingfish" has gained his
political victories in louisiana by
his strength in rural parishes. He
never has carried Orleans parish,
of which New orleans is the seat.
1t is believed the motive underly-
ing his current manipulations to
strip WalmSley of executive powers
is to establish himself above tne
heretofore dominant Old Regulars
as the leading vote-getter in the
city.

SALLY RAND GIVES ADVICE ON
HOW-WELL READ IT YOURSELF

CHICAGO, Aug. 13. OP)-Sally
Rand who makes speeches with
her clothes on when she isn't dane
ing without any told the American
Cosmeticians association today that
an old Greek gent stripped her of
a last bit of modesty.
The old Greek, she said, was
chiseler by the name of Praxiteles
who did the same thing to Venus.
The fan-dancer was guest
speaker before the cosmeticians on
the subject of "The Bare Facts of
Beauty"
She exhibited the Praxiteles Golf
fure originated by a Greek sculp-
tor of the same name back in $50
3. c., when the Athenians took
their nudity straight without any
fans or fandangoes.
"I have to put on my street
clothes to get anyone to notice il"
Sally explained, but I think it's
very classic with the hair brushed
up from the nape, of the neck and
forming sculptural curls at the top
of the head"
She went on to tell how, for
three years, everyone has believed
her to be dancing in the nude-if
you can overlook an ostrich fan
but that in reality no one ever saw
the nape of her neck until a week
ago.
Now, thanks to Praxiteles, I'm
completely exposed by special per-
mission of the board of censors."

Of the American Brid

am sorry that illness prevented my playing in the National Mas ters' Individual tournament, recent ly, as have always enjoyed an- alyzing the different styles of bid- ding employed by the players from various sections of the country. However, I did watch a great many of the hands and will explain some of the most Interesting ones.
 This tournament is one of the most popular in the country. There are about 160 qualified masters in the United States. The masters committee invites 36 players from this number to participate. One player, Walter s. Turner, came all the way from San Francisco. Chi cago was represented by three play CTS, Philadelphia had 8 nice dele- gation of five, Indianapolis had two, and other cities one each.
 The first board of the tourna- ment, board number one I believe, gives Q very good example of mod- ern type bidding.
 Many of my contract readers may elect to open the bidding of the North hand with one heart, but when holding two four-card suits, one of which is a minor, and with a hand this strong, 1t is best to open with the four-card minor.
 Reverse bidding immediately tells your partner that you have Q strong hand. The bidding: there fore, is as follows:
