event today, Morris gradually add
ed to his total and wen with a
score of 1900 that shattered the
world record of 1880 he created
in winning the Olympic tryouts
in Milwaukee in June.
His mark also contributed a
new Olympic record inaSmuch as
the scoring this year was under

Morris clinched for the United
States the unofficial team title
of mems track and field and left
America needing only one victory
in tomorrow's three events to sur

Angeles. Americas best Olympic
mark since the world war was IL
victories at Paris in 1924.
Behind Morris came two of his
teammates. Bob Clark of San
Francisco was second with 1901
points and Jack Parker, Sacra-
mento, finished third with 1921
points
Erwin Huber of Germany was
fourth with 7,087 points; Reindert
Brasser, Holland, fifth with 7,4O6

Morris record-breaking triumph
came as brilliant conclusion to the

have to go the distance in 4:32 to

OUTBREAK NEAR
PIT. BARROW OF
LONG STANDING
Trouble Between In dian S
and Eskimos Been Going
on During Past Year

POINT BARROW, Alaska. July
22.-Arctic coast Eskimos' magma
tons have been fired by the recent
tundra robbery and attack and to-
day they reviewed strange tales of
an Indian tribe dwelling in the I'M
known far Interior valley. Mixed
with stories of legendary people
were accounts of massacres beneath
the northern lights and of men
vanishing into desolate wastes.
Robbery and revenge among the
coast jewellers is blamed on an old
feud between Eskimos and Indians
from south of the Baird Mountains.
The whites blamed the Indians
driven from Canada BY the Royal
Canadian mounties for at least
part of the recent years depreda-
lions. Whites and Eskimos alike
felt apprehension for safety. A few
Point Barrow Eskimo families are
known to have camped near the
mountains 300 miles south.
DR.. Henry Greist recalled that
six years ago two Eskimos left
Wainwright by dog teams for
short trip into the Interior and
never were seen again. Eight Eski-
mos trailed to their camp and found
tracks convincing them that the
missing men were victims of an
Indian raid and taken prisoners.

NEW YORK, as of week ending
July 10, by Associated Press-In the
midst of the crisis in Europe, there
arose this all-dominating question:
Has there been a revival of the pre-
war allegiance between Germany,
Austria, Hungary and Italy?
For many months there have been
persistent reports of a Nazi-Fascist
bloc extending from Berlin down
across Europe to Rome. Always,
one thing seemed to stand in the
way of IN understanding between
Hitler and Benito Mussolini. II
Duce wanted Austria to remain in
dependent from Germany.
This barrier has been removed. In
an accord announced simulta@eous-
ly in Berlin and Vienna, the Hitler
government recognized the indepen-
dence of Austria.
With Austria proclaiming itself
a Germanic state, both nations will
pursue a common foreign policy.
In Rome, the accord was greet
ed in informed circles with the pre-
diction of a four-power collabora-
ton in all major problems of Eur
ope linking Italy, Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary.
Mussolini's influence has been
paramount in Austria and Hungary
for monthsl Chancellor Kurt Schu-
schnigg, beyond doubt, would not
have signed an accord with Hitler
if II Duce had not approved it in
advance.
The German and Itadian dictators,
it was rumored in Rome, may meet
again soon in Venice. But there
was an indication that II Duce was
not desirious of entering into an
open alliance with the third Reich
at this time
Not only has the Berlin Vienna
accord complicated the impending
Locarno conferences too consider
Hitler's demand for German equal
ity with all European states; but
it has driven wedge between France
and its allies to the East; the little
entente (Rumania, Czechoslovakia
and Soviet Russia.

SALMON PACK

With Fishing Closing Satur-

Over / 100000 Cases

With the Bristol Bay fishing sea-
son due to close next Saturday, the
salmon pack through last Satur-
day was showing up well, accord
ing to report to the Bureau of
Fisheries, and there IS a chance it
may approach the high mark of
1884, the last comparable year.
The total pack this year through
July 18 was l,ll4,807 cases, COM
pared with l,679,657 for the same
time in 1884 when the total pack
reached 1,739678, an all-time peak.
Last year the pack was only 242,-
900 cases due to the limited sea-.
son.
While it is not anticipated the
"a mark will be reached this week,
the pack will stand up to average,
and, on the basis of 100000 cases
packed last week, should be around
100000 cases when the season
comes to close, officials believe.
The pack by districts in Bristol
