PEACE DOVE
SCARS AGAIN
over EUROPE
Rome and London Reach
Final Accord in Pact to
Quiet Continent

ROME, April 16-Italy and Great
Britain today signed an Eastertide
pact to end nearly three years OF
ofte dangerous difficulties and
bring promise of peace to Europe
The pact was signed by Foreign
Minister Ciano and British AM
bassador, the Earl of Perth.
II Duce and Prem Ter Neville
Chamberlain have already approved
the treaty to end friction which
began when England backed sane
tons applied by the League of
Nations against Italy on November
10, 1885.
The principal provisions of the
agreement are designed to bring
about a speedy recognition of the
Italian conquest of Ethiopia, the
withdrawal of italian troops from
Spain, and recognition and protec-
ton of each others rights in the
Mediterranean
Hope that this pact will bring
peace to Europe is based on the
plan to have France reach SIM
liar accord with Italy, which will
then bring Great Britain, Germany
France and Italy into a possible
working agreement that will stabil-
ize the continent.

HONOLULU, TIL, April 16.--
Rear Admiral Joseph Taussig, Com
mander of the cruisers scouting
force, recommended in speech
before the Rotary Club here the con-
struction of an additional entrance
to virtually landlocked Pearl Har-
Dor. He admitted the cost would be
colossal but said that eventually it
would prove of value in case a flu
ture enemy block the present single
entrance.
He proposed linking Kessi Basin
with the site of the proposed inter-
national seaplane base by canals
which would cut across an arm OF
land upon which Hickman Field,
the Army's eighteen million dollar
airdrome, is located He said that
without a new entrance the position

100000 BLAZE
SWEEPS WHARF,
SAN FRANCISCO
Fifty Firemen Overcome by
Smoke-Two Ships
Flame Eaten

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-The
worst waterfront fire in years in the
Bay Region, on Pier 48, last night
caused 100000 damage and called
out all available fire fighting equip
ment in San Francisco
The blaze threatened two moored
vessels as racing flames ran out
along mooring lines and burning
timbers fell on decks until the craft
were towed to the safety of mid
harbor.
Fifty firemen were treated for
smoke suffocation and one is in crit
ical condition.
A dramatic incident occurred dur
ing the height of the blaze when
forty longshoremen, loading the Cal
mar freighter, Massmar, were trap
ped under the pier when a section
of the wharf collapsed in a fren-
zied burst of new flames among the
old.
A tug ploughed through floating
debris burning on the surface to
take the men from the endangered
freighter while firemen played water
on the men and tug to lessen the
blistering heat.
The freighters which were towed
to mid harbor were the Massmar
and the Point Caleta. Both vessels
suffered burned decks and blistered
sides.

Storm Over

Tragic Tale
Worst at Thanksgiv-

Snow Covers Washing
ton and New York
(By The Associated Press)

Snow plows and shovel brigades
mopped up in cities and rural COM
munities across the nation today in
the wake of the worst Thanksgiving
day storm in many years.
Incomplete reports showed nearly
two-score storm fatalities, with ship
ping and air transportation partially
paralyzed along the Atlantic coast
and elsewhere. Trains and buses ran
behind schedule.
Automobile clubs received thous-
ands of calls from drivers needing
help as their cars were marooned in
heavy snowdrifts and incapacitated
by freezing temperatures.
The worst single tragedy growing
out of the storm was reported at AM
sterdam, N. Y, where a 27-year-old
mother and her five small children,
huddled around an oil stove for warm
tn, were burned to death when the
stove exploded.
Brakedowns or delays in air, land
and coastal shipping traffic married
the holiday by preventing untold num-
bers of scheduled family reunions.
Swift freezing sleet resulted in hum
dreds of highway accidents and slow
ed traffic to a snail's pace.

I'm prepared now to believe him,
considering the conditions which have

what mightn't have happened!

Goebbels would be certain to succeed
