]. G. BRINTON COMES TO
BENJAMIN DONOHOE'S

Quite an exciting scene occurred
at the residence of Benjamin Dono-
hoe, on Thursday evening. His son
Herbert got choked at the supper
table and seemed to be, and would
soon have choked to death. The
immediate service of a doctor was
evident, one messenger running for
DR.. Ashcraft and another for DR..
Dwight. The commotion attracted
the attention of young lady from
the other side of the street, who
seeing the boy in apparently the
agonies of death, tainted, and a
member of the family was in near
ly the same condition. ]. G. Brin-
ton, residing on the same street,
very properly rushed to the scene
to give whatever assistance he
could offer. Finding the boy lying
on his back gasping for breath and
those who had got there standing
appalled,, awaiting the arrival of a
doctor, he gathered the suffered up,
bent him over his knee and COM
menced pounding him vigorously at
the back of the neck. The remedy
was effectual: with a few desper-
ate retches the obstruction came
like cork from a champagne bot
tie. 1t was all over. whats the
matter with you" queried J. G.
Nothing" replied the boy, I'm all
right" and SO the doctors found
him when they arrived on the spot
a few minutes later.

25O,OOOPlanesF Found Need
For Budapest Destruction

BUDAPEST R.-Gen. Daniel Fabry,
whose duty is preparation and mainte-
nance of the air defense of Budapest,
has estimated that 250,000 airplanes
would be needed to carry at one time
the cargo of bombs necessary to destroy
this Hungarian capital.
And even such a vast air f1otilla as
this could not carry out its purpose il
there were energetic defense, Fabry OBJ
served. His conclusions are made public
in a survey of air defense problems in
the Budapest municipal review.
Although he intimates the effective
ness Of bombers and gas-laden planes is
often much over estimated, Fabry points
out that city does not have to be de-
stroyed in single attack to be crippled
in a modern war. Consequently air de-
fense Is one Of the most urgent worries
of Budapest, city of 100000 popula-
ton spread out over about 200 square
miles.
Budapest lies so close to Hungarian
frontiers that air defense here is a matter
of seconds. A Czecho-Slovak plane could
start from home and be over Budapest in
eight minutes, Yugoslav plane in 80
minutes, Rumanian in 40. A plane
could come from as far as Russia In two
hours.

Soviet Planning Register
OF All Over Century Old

MOSCOW P)-Soviet scientists are
drawing UP plans for special register
of citizens more than 100 years old with
the aim of facilitating research into
the causes of longevity.
Recent studies by the institute for
clinical physiology of the Ukrainian
Academy of Sciences already have pro-
duced interesting results and, according
to Prof. I. w. Basilevitch, encourage
Soviet scientists to believe that the
chances of prolonging human life are
extremely favorable IN the Soviet Union.
A party of scientists from the Ukrain-
ian institute was sent to the Abkhasian
republic, in Georgia, to investigate some
of the numerous cases of advanced old
age said to be found there
The investigators learned that $3.50
persons out of 100000 in that region
claim to be more than 100 years old.
This is phenomenal percentage, COM
pared with most sections of the U. S.
S. R., where the number of persons past
100 averages between ITO and 120 per
100000 inhabitants.

editor contended. rot course, blood
comes first, and a German must always
remember to be a German before he is
anything else.
But he should also be loyal citizen
in the country of his adoption. That is,
as concerns Europe, his duty is to insist
that the country in which he lives shall
do nothing contrary to German in
terests.
"If the government under which he
lives embarks upon an anti-German
course, he must join the opposition"
Rumania Must Follow Reich.
Then do we understand you right,
the Americans queried that Trans
sylvanian German, for instance, who is
a citizen of Rumania, must think first
of German interests?"
why certainly" was his rather sur
prised answer.
"Rumania as the less important ma
ton must dovetail her policies into those
of the greater Reich, and only as she
does so does the Transylvanian German
owe the Rumanian government loyalty"
The Americans next asked how this
viewpoint of domination over others
jibed with the Nazi doctrine of self
determination for all nations.
"Of course, we want the Lithuanians,
for instance, to govern themselves" the
editor conceded. Europe must be ruled
by Germany in the same manner, say,
in which the United States rules over the
little Central American states.
These states, too, maintain their own
governments. But Washington Is their
real boss, and the North Americans liv-
ing in these little states have the say"
Would Rule Foreign Policy.
Objections that old, cultural European
nations might not like to knuckle under
to Germany were met by derisive
shrug of the shoulder.
They'll fare well economically" was
the rejoinder. "They can sell their
products to 100000 Germans. They
can have local and cultural autonomy.
They needn't worry about foreign policy,
for Germany will take care of that for
them. Then why shouldn't they be
happy?"
In conclusion the editor insisted that
he and his comrades, to whom at one
time belonged Ernst Niekisch, recently
sentenced to life imprisonment for trea-
son, from their very teens on were i'm
bued with the ideal of resurrected
German empire holding benevolent, ef1l-
cient sway over continent of 526, 900 900

Japanese Build Cellars
In Case of Air Raids

TOXIC Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Preso.-Japanese Army men have
been studying how to be happy though
buried.
AS part of air-raid research they
learned: If you go to bombproof cellar
during raid, take a lemon, some light
reading and don't move.
The bombproof cellar is Japan's ace
in-the hole In case her big Cities highly
vulnerable to air attack, should be raided
by bombers. Already there are scores of
large, scientifically constructed cellars,
and Japan is building more.
Seventy men recently were sealed in
a small room in cellar to simulate con-
ditions that they would meet if the ven-
tilating system stopped operating. In
struments for measuring all results went
in with them. They remained for three
hours.

There was much talk that the PROV

of Africa and in the Cape Verde Islands

1t is salutary that the Congress of the
United States Is at this time considering
an important expansion of our armed
establishment on land and sea and in
the air. The late Lima Conference reg
istered reluctance to tackle the question
of hemisphere defense. But, as the
international compass is now being set,
that issue will have to be faced sooner
or later. At Lima, with the sole excep-
ton Of Argentina, our good neighbors
to the south evinced more than a readi-
ness to let Uncle Sam take the lead in
organizing hemisphere defense. They
clearly indicated their expectation that
he will do so.
