LABOR BODIES IN
 ANOTHER FIGHT

New York, July 13-(UP)-An open fight to control the nations pier workers apparently had started today between the American Fed eration of Labor and the Commit tee for Industrial Organization.
 Joseph P. Ryan, president of the International Longshoremen's asso- ciation, A. F. of L, affiliate, was be- lieved to have signaled the break by rejecting a proposal of spokes- men for John L. Lewis that his un- ion abandon its present status and accept a CIO charter.

MRS. MOODY IS
 NOT TALKATIVE
Queen of Tennis Courts Is Not Saying One Word
 on Divorce

Reno, New, July 13-CUP)-Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, former worlds tennis champion took up residence in the divorce capital today, but she refused to confirm reports that she intended divorcing Frederick s. Moody, Jr., San Francisco broker, whom she married Dec. g, 1929. Mrs, Moody consulted Robert M. Price, prominent Reno divorce lawyer, yesterday, but when asked if she in- tended to remain at Lake Tahoe for the six-weeks residence required for those seeking divorce, she smiled and said nothing.
 In San Francisco Mrs. Corbitt Moody, sister, -in-law of Mrs. Moody, told reporters that Mrs. Moody in- tended to get a divorce. Moody was reported hunting in Northern Cal ifornia.
 Called Match Ideal
 When the Queen Helen" of the courts and Moody were married Dec. g, 1929, following an unpubli- cized romance on the French ri- viera, many spoke of the match as ideal" Moody made 1t immediately clear that anyone who called him MT. Helen Wills" was taking a foolish risk. She could go on with her tennis, but in their marriage he was the head of the house.
 At the time of her marriage, she light-heartedly admitted she could- mt cook. She preferred tennis, writ ing and painting to domestic duties. She spoke of cooking as high art" which she had failed to master because of her absorption in other arts.
 In recent years, following Mrs. Moody's return to tournament play after her default to Helen Jacobs in 1883, there have been repeated ru- mors of rift between her and her husband.
 She always insisted, however. that they were perfectly happy"

FRANCE RESUMES
 FRONTIER GUARD

Paris, July l3- (UP)-France, angry at the German and Italian attitude on Spanish civil war neu- trality, resumed control of her 350- mile Spanish frontier today and left the 155 neutral observers of the London non-intervention committee to await further instructions.
 Prefects of the French territorial departments along the frontier took over control at noon from the ob- servers. They had orders to exert every effort to prevent smuggling of arms or men across the frontier.
 Col. D. O. Lunn, Danish com- mandant of the neutrality observers, said at his headquarters at Tarbes that he had received no instructions. However, French authorities intend- ed to permit the observers to remain on the frontier for the present-as private citizens-until the situation is clarified.
 It seemed unlikely, on the basis of information here, that there could be a meeting of the non-in- tervention committee before Thurs day or Friday. Until then, at any rate, French gendarmes will carry on their work of watching the from tier.

Pilot Bob Reeve of Valdez Lands in Two Feet of Snow; Waits
 Weed for TakeOff.

VALDEZ,-Pilot Bob Reeve of Valdez returned to his home port here recently after being stuck in the snow on Columbia Glacier for seven days.
 Reeve, made what he thought would be the last trip on wheels to the Ruff and Turf mine with D. s. Beals, a mining engineer, Jack Hoar, part owner, and an- other passenger.
 He had landed on the glacier a few days before in a few inches of snow and circling over the same spot saw his wheel tracks very plainly,
 Two Feet of Snow
 He went in for a landing to find instead of three inches of snow, about two feet. The plane with a landing speed of 65 miles an hour. came to a complete stop in 50 feet, but otherwise there were no ill effects.
 Reeve knew they were in for a long stay unless they could make a runway, but the snow proved too fresh and light and several take off attempts failed.
 They had supplies, sleeping bags and the mine cabin was only five miles away. The first night Beals was too tired to walk the distance so he slept near the plane in one of the bags. The others went to the cabin.
 They were circled several times by planes, one of their most in- sistent callers being Pilot Jack Peck of Valdez. Another was Morgan Davies of Anchorage. Both pilots got the OK. signal from the marooned party each
