HUNGRY CONVICT
 DECIDES TO QUIT

Kingston, Ont, Aug. g. (UP)- After perching on top of a 128-foot chimney at Kingston penitentiary for more than 12 hours, 8 French Canadian convict serving 20-year- term climbed down early today and surrendered to prison guards. The convict, homesick for his former home, St. Vincent de Paul Peniten- tiary, Montreal, from which he was recently transferred here, went on strike in an effort to force prison officials to send him back. He scrambled unnoticed up the power house wall and sat on the cremney
 Threats, promises and the blind- ing rays of powerful searchlights trained on him failed to budge the convict, whose name was not dis closed. He warned Warden I. w. Allen he would jump to his death if guards attempted to take him. Officially finally decided to let him there "as long as he wants to-" Early today, his food and water supply ran out and, exhausted the convict climbed down.

One fine July morning seventy summers ago while I was waiting on a couple of customers at 'Webbs celebrated soda fountain two ladies, driving a handsome horse and phaeton, came down the street and stopped at a hitch ing-post in front of 'Webb's' drug store.
 Webb, ever on the alert, seeing the arrivals, rushed bare-headed into the street, his whiskers wildly flying, to greet his distinguished customers and personally tie their horse to the post.
 The two ladies, all smiles and gracious, evidently were very well and favorably known in town, for before Webb could get them in- side his store they were holding an informal reception out on the sidewalk. Warm hand-clasps and hearty 'greetings-home' were the order of the day. A dozen friendly voices were speaking at once: "We're all so glad to see you back home safe and soundW-"Were you seasick?"-"My children are asking if you saw any whales?"- "So they couldn't spoil you even a little bit over there in Europe!"- "We're aching to hear all about ltI"-"Th' minister gave out last Sunday that you'd probably come in time to talk to Sunday-school tomorrow"
 I could see 1t from my position behind the soda fountain. The two ladies who were so cordially greet ed by their townspeople, were the young 'heiress', Miss Anna Van- Alstyne, and her gracious middle aged aunt and constant compan- ion. Young Miss Van or Anna Van as she was commonly known, inherited her fortune from her mother, who died in her daugh- ter's infancy. Her father was a federal judge, whose duties kept him much away from home, and following her graduation from school, had allowed her to go

Manila, Aug. 9.-(UP)-Swaddled in sterilized linen, with a glass med- ical jar cover protecting her expos- ed, pulsating heart, tiny Maria Cora zon (Mary Heart) Rafael slumbered peaceful through her 50th hour of life today.
 Unmindful of the furor caused in world medical centers by her birth-with larger than normal heart protruding from her chest and covered only by thin pericar- dial tissue-Maria seemed no differ ent in other respects than the thou sands of babies born annually in the slums of the Tondo tenement district.
 Doctors were amazed at the vital ity of the child despite the absence of breast feeding which was for- bidden because it would necessitate moving her. Dr. Guillermo Del Cas- tillo, who assisted at the birth, said that 8 slight fever which followed birth was subsiding.
 Police Control Curious
 Police reinforcements were sum. moned to control scores of curious persons at Hospital Gates, seeking glimpse of the child.

 The two have more than 10000 miles of hitching and hiking behind them.

 "Its big world and we see no reason at all why we should spend our days in a dull job in 8 dull place"
 Last August the two decided to see the world on $200.
 "A family friend promised us transportation on the sea on his freight line," John said. That solved part of the problem at least"

 They packed knapsacks, took g conditioning tramp around England and sailed for Montreal last Aug. 25
 "When we landed we hitch-hikec through four Canadian provinces, John said. Then we boarded z freighter again and sailed for Soutf America. We then took to our tumb' again and hitched to Mexico, ant the Panama Canal Zone.
 "Then we landed in the States and made our way up the Missis sippi to Chicago"
 It didn't take the two long tt spend their original $200. On five oc casions they were forced to tramp the roads without food for five-da. stretches.
 aNow we get along on 50 cent apiece each day." Elizabeth said sIt took some managing, l can tel you. until we got used to 1t. w do it by eating only two meals day--and allowing only 12 cents 10 meat.

 To Young America seventy years ago, a person who had cross- ed the Atlantic Ocean and back, and been all over Europe and Asia, was an object of great won- der and curiosity.

 My two 'sweethearts' at that time were my lovely Mother and Anna Van,' and I expected, in due time, to marry one or the other.
 So when I was eagerly waiting that fine summer morning 50 long ago for Anna Van to come into 'Webb's' drug store, I was asking myself lots of questions: What will she do when she sees me here? Will she call me the old

United States Combats
 Totalitarian States
Latin America Shows Little Interest in European
 Theories of Government Reports Dr.. Inrnan

San Francisco (UP)-Aug. 9.-The United States is blocking totalitar- ian states from winning converts in Latin America, believes Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, former adviser to Sec- retary of State Cordell Hull, and former secretary to the committee on cooperation in Latin America.
 In an address before the Mills College Institute of International Relations he detailed efforts of Ger many, Italy and Japan to persuade Latin Americans that democracy is failure, to build up trade there, and to spread propaganda by "bor- ing from within"
 ''The totalitarians preach that family life is decaying in the de- mocracies," he said, pointing to the increasing numbers of divorce; that business is disintegrating, pointing to the strikes and lockouts in industry.
 Japan and Italy have negligible trade in Latin America, but Ger many is making inroads by using the barter system. She has a per- feet right to do this, provided trade Is not used to tie up Latin America to the totalitarian system, but that is what is happening"
 Dr. Inman declared that to spread propaganda in Latin Amer ica, pressure and threats are brought to bear on German mer- chants and schools there to hang the picture of Hitler in their cen- ters, to compel their employees and students to hell Hitler, and to advo- cate the glories of Nazism.
 'The United States is taking some very practical steps to aid Latin America in its fight against totalitarianism." Dr. Inman said.
 Among these are the good neighbor' policy which removed the marines from Central America, eliminated the Platt amendment, developed a democratic procedure in Pan-American conferences, and shared the Monroe doctrine with southern neighbors."
 Dr. Inman cited the Brazilian agreement under which the new Export and Import Bank of the United States is extending longer credit to Brazilian merchants and explained how experts from this country have gone to Brazil to help develop natural resources such as rubber, quinine and other materials with ready market value.
 "We have on the American con- tinent." he declared, "a movement which, if properly developed. will mean not only friendship for this continent but better basis for in- ternational understanding around the world"

 OF DEATH
 To make the experiment as real- istic as possible, people were given various instructions. For instance, an air raid warden in Q village near Doncaster received sealed orders. They read:
 Some time about midnight you are supposed to have been hit by q piece of bomb. You are bleeding to death. Take appropriate action"
 The air raid warden turned up at the appointed place, Supposed to be badly wounded, he telephoned for an emergency air raid ambul- ance. By one o'clock none had ar- rived. So he phoned to headquar- ters:

Some Of the most prominent teach

a mistake to teach one thing when

Heart by South, 2-Clubs by North,
Diamonds by South and 2-No

bid his five-card suit at 3-HeartS.
North, a sound partner, who would
not make a three-card raise of what

had five hearts: So he raised to 4
Hearts.
There was no earthly way to beat

trick each was lost in clubs, dia-

a score which defeated the 3-No

there was the fact that the No

beaten if East had not led the spade
