Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 12.-(AP)
ireland remained without word
o the American flierS, Alex Loeb
and Dick Decker, as the deadline
for their fuel supply was reached
this afternoon. 1t was estimated
that their fuel could last only to
p. m. (1O a. M, eastern standard
time) on their attempt to fly from
st. Peters, Nova Scotia, to Ire
land, in a mOnOplane like Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh used to fly
! to Parish 2 years ago. s
They took off at 1904 a. M,
eastern standard time yesterday,
with gasoline for an estimated rs
hours of flying, but with hopes of
reaching Ireland nonstop, in 22
hours. The weather generally was
favorable on this side, with fa-
.vOrable winds prevailing, and
visibility excellent off the Irish
coast, where coast guard stations
kept a close lookout.
AT the airport where Douglas
COrrigan landed in his solo flight
over the Atlantic, an Official re-
ported, ''the weather still is IA

Hitler Is Host To Ciano
AT His Mountain Resort
Italian Foreign Minis
ter Accompanied by
German Minister Won
Ribbentrop; L u n c h.

Honor of Italian.

Berchtesgaden, Germany, Aug.
12.-(AP)-Adolf Hitler and the
foreign ministers of Germany and
Italy held lengthy conference on
Rome-Berlin axis policy today in
the fuehrer'S mountain chalet, near
here.
Hitler gave Count Ciano, the
Italian minister, a hearty welcome
when he arrived by motor car from
Salzburg, Germany, at 1:3O p. n.
(7:3O a. m., eastern standard
tine).
There was 4 roll of drums from
the fuehrer's black bodyguard as
Ciano's car rolled up. Stepping out
on the terrace, the fuehrer, ac-
companied by Foreign Minister Won
Ribbentrop greeted his guest and
personally conducted him into the
house.
The conference began after a
luncheon given in honor Of Ciano,
Premier Mussoini's representative
and son-in-law. Ciano was late
leaving Salzburg, and it was be-
lieved the delay was occasioned by
last-minute telephone talk with
II Duce. 1t was believed the count
had delayed his start on the 35-
minute drive for the call.
Both Italian and German spokes-
men remained tight-lipped on the

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 12.-(AP)
Apparently climaxing successfully
the most difficult phase Of a history
making salvage operation, the
United States Navy today lifted the
flooded submarine Squalus and her
26 dead from the ocean floor that
has gripped her almost continuously
since May %.
Shortly before 9 a. M, eastern
standard time, the three pontoons,
attached to the tremendously heavy
water-filled stern of the craft broke
the surface amid a wild furry Of
foam, indicating the after compart-
ment had been lifted 80 feet from
the bottom.
Without warning, save for a sud-
den burst Of air bubbles, the three
foremost stern pontoons broke the
surface simultaneously, throwing
foam fully fifteen feet into the air.
The pontoons themselves broke
almost clear Of the water, sank be-
meath the surface and rose again to
ride side by side on the calm sea.

Wieldy stern of the submarine was
