Airmen, fighting in the worlds two wars, are careless about neu- tral frontiers and property.
 This carelessness has cast France in the role as an innocent bystander in two bombardments within two days.
 Japanese war planes scored a di- rect hit on the French owned Dou- mer Hospital in Canton in another day aerial attack on the South China metropolis where more than 1,500 persons have been killed since May 28.
 The side of the French hospital was blown out and French Mili- tary surgeon was badly injured. Two Chinese patients were killed and many other Chinese injured.
 Stiffenipg against aerial encroach- ments from the Spanish Civil War, French anti-aircraft batteries to- day cut loose at two border points in another invasion of the Pyrennes frontier, routing nine war planes.

ASHURST INCONSISTENT AGAIN

Among the limpest of our imme- diate recollection is that of the scholarly Ambassador Don Fernan- do de los Rios of Spain, who once was president of the University of Madrid. Almost like it is that of lawyer Ben Cohen, Administration medicine man.
 Senator Ashurst's is a moody grip and you are likely to get firm Arizona at one time and liquid, saltless touch at another. It was Ashurst who once said that incon- sistency might yet save us all
 Senator Borah of Idaho is on the light but noticeable side. Vice President Gamers is firmer but after the first meeting he is more than likely to omit the business and pop his hand upon a visitors shoul- der.
 A professor under whom we once struggled said that the practice of shaking hands came down from a medieval "blood-greeting" in which two friends nicked their right hands with knife near the thumb june ture. The grip of greeting then was supposed to mingle the blood and to make them one in spirit
 If that now were the practice, President Roosevelt would be a diff ferent person after exchanging brotherly droplets with 2,000 guests of an evening. He would be one man melting pot It would make a mess of presidential receptions.
