Gibbons put the boat together, with bulk-heads every four inches, to withstand the pressure when the boat is under IS feet of water of Catalina Island. It must be smashed there because the camera man also will be undersea and the island is the only place where the water is clear enough. A big chunk of the $20,000 went into the tor- pedoes, which must make properly foaming wake when fired. Gibbons solved that problem by filling the tubes with gas from one of those make your soda water-at-home gadgets. The gas missing from a hole in the end of the torpedo makes swell wake.
 Gibbons believed his submarine was one of the trickiest devices ever built in this land of make-believe. It hasn't put to sea yet. but he's pretty certain it will work. If it doesn't and $20,000 joins the fishes, he fears he may have to look for another job.

ton aircraft carriers, eight 10000 ton cruisers, five 5000 ton cruisers. seven 5,S000 ton cruisers. 16 large and 24 small destroyers. IS submarines and l2 motor torpedo boats.
 From this the French deduce that Britain's program involves giving her again the mastery of the Medi- terranean. No forceable continental coalition could possibly match Bri- tain's sea strength.
 Diplomatic sources here see the British program as involving:
 1,--Wiping the slate clean of Bri- tish-I Italian misunderstanding.
 2.-- Closer relations with Germany including negotiations of the new LocaEno treaty and possibly Ger many's return to the devitalized League of Nations.
 3.--Ending the menace of peace of the spanish Civil War by effecting the recoval of some. at least, of the foreign participants and making sure that no more are sent. This will involve recognizing the Nation alists as belllgerents.
 4.--Conclusion of a British-J Japan csc political agreement, as a stab- Hiking factor in the Far East, as- sulnilig that there is no long drawn out chiness -Japanese war.

 Following A hours of almost con- tinuous bombing operations by big, three-engined Japanese planes from Fengtai, Japanese mixed brigade advanced along the rocky bed of the Sha river and prepared to at- tack the Chinese 89th division under Gen. Tang En-Po.
 Tang's troops had been reinforced by units of the l84th division which made their way through rain of bombs from Kalgan.
 Chinese said that damages to the railway inflicted by the Japanese bombers had been repaired "as fast as they occurred"
 Sporadic Explosions
 Sporadic explosions were heard in Peiping, indicating that the rival forces already were exchanging ar- tillery fire.
 The Chinese hold line across the river. which is extremely shall low and are astride the railway protecting the strategic entrance to the northwest through the Nankou pass.
 Their position is so strong that Q Japanese frontal attack was believed unlikely and 1t was anticipated tho imperial forces would continue to rely chiefly on their superiority in the air and long range artillery.
 Reports persisted that a Japanese cavalry column from Jehol. iia the Japanese controlled state of Man.
