OPEN PRISONS

MADRID, Feb. 81. WP)-A pro-
posal for immediate amnesty OF
thousands of political prisoners was
put before the permanent COM
mittee of parliament today by the
new left wing government of Pre-
mier Manuel Azana.
1t was hoped that its enactment
would end a series of disorders
throughout the country which
have resulted in wrecking of right
wing political headquarters and
the sacking and burning Of church.
eS.
The disorders have occurred in
cident to left wing celebrants of
victory which put them in power,
and to demands that the govern
ment free all 10000 political pri-
sonerS at once.
1t was estimated that since Sun
days election, 10 have been killed
and "a injured. Ten churches were
set afire and two of them destroy

screWy. He said that Washington
couldn't have thrown a dollar across
the Rappannock because there were
no dollars then, and that even if
there were, the father of his country
wasn't strong enough. Bloom said
he't bet 20-1 that johnson couldn't
do it.
"Oh, no." retorted Pitts. I'll bet
$4,000 johnson can"
He gave the cash to Banker John
F.. Gouldman, Jr., in case there
were any takers, and then he be-
gan to very. What if johnson
couldn't throw a dollar that far?
Five thousand dollars is a lot of
money. Pitts and a dozen of his
friends ransacked Fredericksburg
for silver dollars, went out to the
river and learned to their dismay
that a dollar flies through the air
like an Australian boomerang. You
aim it at the other side of the river,
it sails up like the daring young
man, Ilp-1lOpS, does an lmmelman
roll, and disappears into the waves
with gurgle.
Washers Used
When Pitts and the other scien-
tific investigators ran out of dollars,
they turned to iron washers. Still
no luck.
They looked pretty disconsolate as
they walked back home. but by the
time they'd reached the old stone
block, wher Washington's neighbors
auctioned slaves, Pitts whispered
secret in our ear. The general air
OF establishment merely was stall

U.P)-Local historians threw money
to the fish today in vain attempt
to prove that George Washington
could have tossed a silver dollar
across the Rappahonnock river, if
he'd had one.
1t was a sad and depressing sight;
the biggest waste of cash we ever
saw outside of night club. AS for
the fish, they'd rather have had
worms.
The leading citizens lined up on
the bank of the muddy Rappahan-
mock, took off their coats in the chill
breeze, wound up, and sent coins OF

Otherwise these red-faced throWer-

cartwheels into the mud, explained.
AS president of the chamber of
commerce he arranged a Washing

himself into trouble.
He decided to give the speechmak-

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. U.R.'ETwen-
ty-eight years ago placed small
metal tube containing flag of the
United States on the North Pole.
L was the first man to reach that
northernmost point.
There is no need to tell the world
of the controversy which ragged
around me a scant few weeks after
I returned to civilization with my
report. But shadow has been cast
over me since that fall in 1909 when
Admiral Robert E. Feafy accused
me of attempting to hoax the ma
tions which had honored me.
Target of Calumny
In the months and years that fol-
lowed / was the target of the most
vicious campaign of calumny and
vituperation in history. ;.
I said then that time and record
would bear out my claim. Explor-
ers who followed me into the cold
regions of the Arctic have since
borne me out.
No life, no land, no icebergs .
Those were the words contained
in my report. They were positive
statements which only the men who
came after me could prove.
Both Peary and myself wrote
books in which We reported events
preceding and following the dash
to the pole. The records are there
unchanged for more than quart
er of a century. 1t remains now
for impartial judges, studying in
the light of history, to decide which
of us was right.
The evidence is on my side.
L am man of 70. My explora-
tons, creeping into my blood like
a fever, have taken me through
both the Arctic and Antarctic re-
gions. My successful dash to the
pole was my seventh trip north in
similar expeditions. 1t seems only
fair that my name should be clear
err before I die.
Unf0rgettable Night
T shall never forget that night in
Copenhagen. A banquet was being
given in my honor. Tt was my fare
well appearance before starting for
home. Suddenly message came
from the tip of the Arctic Circle.
It was from Peary and it said:
81 have nailed the Stars and
Stripes to the pole"
was happy for him. The honor
was big enough for two of us. But
it did not turn out that way. 1t was
the start of a bitter controversy
which has never died.
Denmark honored me with a gold
medal. The University of Copen-
hagen made me a doctor of philos-
ophy. Then the blow which Peary
instigated fell. I was disgraced and
bounded.
Three expeditions have viewed
the pole from the air. Thirty men
were included in those expeditions.
All of them bore out my conclu-
sions. N#Ms
I believe history will clear by
name.
