border. There was not room enough
to maneuver the vessel easily and
hidden rocks might lie anywhere.
So we could do no better than lie
beside the ice as it pounded and
pounded the sturdy sides of the
Wyatt Earp.
Threatened by Iceberg.
Then an iceberg came numbering
up, and, bearing down, threatened
to crush us against the floe. It was
necessary to move. We slipped our
mooring lines and were almost forced
to put out to sea. But right next to
the barrier edge, just where it met
the barren rock, was small blight
IN the ice, formed by melting near
an island. Whether it was rock
infested we could not tell, and the
waves, kicked most surprisingly in
q short distance by the wind, were
too high to permit launching the
small boat. We moved slowly into
the blight and finally, within 80
yards of the ugly rock, we found q
little shelter and moored the vessel.
Beside us was q small section of
comparatively smooth ice. It was
a little better than the parts we had
seen before, but still not good
enough to allow a take-on with more
than very nominal load. It seemed
to be our only chance, for Lynn
burner, in his fight, had seen moth
Ing else within miles which would
serve for a take-of field.
In High Suspense.
Even so, it appeared that we would
lose even this, for the swells set up
by the waves were heaving the ice
into billows. Sections of it were
broken of and it was evident that,
If the wind did not soon abate, there
would be no field left. We were in
high suspense all morning.
Then, about noon, the wind died
down. Now was our time, If ever.
So, within a few minutes, the big
Northrop plane was slung overheard,
the smaller tanks filled with gas and
the engine revved up. The plane
had not been flown since it left
New York last August, and it was
necessary to make a test flight be-
fore venturing out over the vast
unknown antarctic.
The take-off on the test flight
proved so bumpy that it was evident

And safe way through the bergs.
We eventually did find a way
through, but 1t would not be con-
sidered by anyone as being safe.
We were always in danger of hav-
ing one of the icebergs topple over

Danger From Rocks.
Ugly rocks poked themselves up
threateningly, sometimes just visible
above water, sometimes only to be
seen from the masthead, as they
were just few inches below the
surface. No detailed charts of this
area exist and we felt our way
slowly until at last we came to q
little less iceberg crowded area and
to the edge of some fiat ice.
It looked fairly suitable, but in
spection proved it to be full of pot
holes which would probably wreck
the machine In any attempt to take
OF. However, by careful choosing,
We thought it might be possible to
find . short runway, but it would
be very short and, unfortunately
would mean limiting the duration
OF our flight. Instead of going out
for hours and return, We would be
limited to little more than a
three-hour period in the air. This
was great disappointment, but a
situation that could not be helped.
Then the wind played us false.
For the whole time we have been
in the neighborhood, until last
night, we have had but gentle airs
from either east or west, but last
night the easterly wind rose to
almost 4 gale. Rolling waves bore

BERLIN, Jan. 12.-The semi -om-

today that alleged shots at German
oh1cials' homes in Amsterdam and

her otherwise carefully guarded

Angrily charging Jews with hav-

warned the Netherlands she would

her present liberal attitude and in
dulgence toward destructive Jewish
influence can still be tolerated If, as
just has been the case, 1t leads to
endangering Of accredited German

awaiting their German co-religion-
lists if another attempt is made on
the life Of Germans.

Chancellor Hitler's own newspaper,

fortunately no one was hurt, but
that no doubt the bullets were fired
with murderous intent and that

Jews are at the bottom Of the affair. i"
Shots fired at German diplomatic
representatives are directed against

HEARING takes
ON new ANGLES
CredibiIify Of Witnesses Is
Now Being Attack
ed at Trial

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 80.
The Government today began an
attack on the credibility of witness
es who testified for Harry Bridges.
The defense has virtually COM
pleted its evidence to save the West
ern CLIO leader from deportation.
A civilian officer from Alcatraz,
John Kessler, contradicted part of
the testimony given by Bridges when
he testified in his own defense. He
testified that he had seen Bridges
in a restaurant with Communists
at several times.
Bridges denied being in the res
taurant mentioned.
A new warrant is out for Larry
Doyle who is wanted to testify for
the defense. He is now resident
of Minnesota but Federal Marshals
there have not been able TO locate
him. Several days ago higher Off
GERS demanded to know why the
marshals could not serve him with
warrant when newspaper photo
graphers and reporters were able
to talk with him and get his photo
graph.

ROME, lug. 30-Mussolini sug-

first step towards banishing Eu-

Mussolini makes the demand in

The paper ran an editorial wide

reliably reported to have been in
spired, or actually written, by II

The editorial said the eleventh

by II Duce that the price OF his
affirmative response will be far
reaching formula on both European
and European complai n S
which he has favored for years.
The European phrase is in
terpreted to mean redistribution in
some manner of various colonies
now held by France and Great
