CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND, Va,
July 28-White marlin practically
stole the show at the annual wild
pony roundup here yesterday.
The marlin, all 10 of them, came
IN late, but their arrival had been
heralded by radio from a Coast
Guard cutter at sea, and big holi-
day crowd was on hand to greet
them at the dock.
A cheer went up when the fishing
boat Of Capt. John Cass, late of
Miami and the Bahamas, came into
the harbor with 10 white flags
proudly flying. The two Richmond
sportsmen on board promptly
Claimed at least three worlds re-
cords and predicted that Maryland
waters would never produce such a
splendid catch.
The interest of the natives had
practical basis. Such a marlin haul
might mean a feet of sport fishing
boats like the one that brings pros
perity each summer to the watermen
at Ocean City, Md.
New Industry in Sight.
The Mayor said big Welcoming
Committee Of citizens on the dock
let 1t be known that Chincoteague
looks forward to a new supremacy.
In the future Chincoteague will be
famous for its fighting fish as well as
its wild pony roundups. it's oysters
and. more lately, its chickens.
The biggest crowd in history came
to Chincoteague's pony penning yes
terday.
In spite of the crowds and the
heat, the visitors seemed to get a
lot of fun out of the pony penning /"
Many of them were "repeaters, !"
men and women who had attended
similar celebrations each year as
far back as they could remember
and would continue to do so. The

George Russell Strauss, Laborite,
said that English affairs were "ex-
traordinarily well reported in the
American press, and If there is any
lack OF sympathy on the part of the
American people it is not due to lack
OF knowledge but to lack OF SYM
pathy with the policy of the govern
ment."

The Federal Communications

Early today she was walking
home from a motion picture the
atre on Sunset avenue in Holly
wood when the clubber leaped on
her from the shadow of an apart
ment building on Wilton place. She
fell under the blow without gain
ing a glimpse of her attacker.
Her screams brought residents
running from neighboring apart

whose residence the attack occur

first weapon at hand, and ran to
the rescue. Waving the club, she
rushed out and drove off a man

He was about 6 feet TALL" she
said. He was wearing a light

He looked up, saw me, and ran

Neutrality Act
Hearings Slated

WASHINGTON, March 80. CUP)
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee today decided to start open
hearings April on proposals to
repeal, modify or strengthen the
neutrality act.
The committee, whose members
hold widely different views on for
eign policy in the light of swiftly
moving events abroad, will summon
witnesses to testify on half a dozen
proposed changes in the present
law.
Chairman Key Pittman, D.. New.
appointed a subcommittee compos-
ed of himself and Sens. William E..

George, D, Ga, to handle the
schedule of witnesses and do ev-
erything that can be done To ex-
pedite the hearings.

The report, compiled by a com
mittee representing eight federal
agencies, was forwarded by Mr.
Roosevelt to Rep. A. J. Elliott, D..
Calf. It stressed that no govern
ment agency or department at
present has sufficient powers or
funds to deal with the problem.
However. the committee said.
new legislation could be enacted
for a nationwide planning propos-
al involving three separate or COM
bined steps to permit the return
of some of the migrants to their
original states. reSettle others in
California areas where they can
be Self-supporting. and find en-
ployment for certain ones in areas
where their ability would be of
special use.
Under the present setup of fed
cral agencies and with additional
funds the federal government
might alleviate the situation, the
committee said. The first step
would be the dissemination of in
formation by the U. S. employment
service warning migrants against
going to California.
Secondly. the committee said, the
federal farm surplus commodities
corporation, with the aid of the
farm security administration and
California relief agencies, could
augment its distribution of avail
able foodstuffs to needy migrants,
while the FIST could provide camp
facilities and small homes for ru-
raj migrants,
As final step, the report point
ed out, the U. S. public health SER
vice could expand its work in Cali
fornia in caring for the health of
the migrants.

to strengthen their economic and
political influence in the western
hemisphere, increased concern
here.
The announcement of an Argen-
tine-German barter deal whereby
Germany traded "a locomotives
and many railway cars for 100000
tons of wheat and 5000 tons OF
wool had had a disquieting effect.
There were reports that other bar
ter deals were pending.
Meanwhile the United States

marked by recent success in negoti-
ationS with Brazil, encountered
congressional difficulties.
l. The house appropriations COM

Practical effect of these develop

early hours of this morning lead
ers of the Republican defense
council announced for the first
time that Madrid had fallen. Val
encia took it for granted that it,
too, would be surrendered, and its
hope materialized.
The defense council was working
on plans to evacuate to French
North Africa or to France proper
those Republicans who might be
subjected to Nationalist reprisals.
The council explained that the
surrender of Madrid was the first
step in its program of peace.

No trace of the fathers grave

surprised, told her she had the

he lives next door in the German

Puzzled, Mrs. Petersen returned
home and demanded of her mother,
who lives with her, a Qualification

received, she said, were evasive.
Intent on settling the matter, Mrs.
Petersen visited the Old People S
home and revealed her identity to

had last seen her as a baby, Just

never stopped.

WINDSOR, CONN.-If you hear IS
fellows whistling for dog that dogs
name is Chick and the IS whistlers
are his masters.
Chick is believed the worlds only
dog cooperative, and he is capital
lied at S425. 1t came about this
way:
Arthur and Ben Clark, tobacco
farmers, lost their coon dog, and a
plantation worker from North Caro-
lima, planning a trip home, said he
would get them another from the
South.
Soon afterward Chick arrived. He
cost $50 and looked like a million
until his first trial, which was fail
ure.
Chick Makes Good.
Arthur and Ben decided to give
the hound another try, and Chick,
now more accustomed TO the north
ern trails, made good.
City Treasurer George H. Gabb
of Hartford heard of the hound and,
because the Clark brothers thought
$50 bit stiff to pay between them
selves, offered to buy SIS interest.
Then a couple of other friends
Clipped in SIS each and in no time
at all Chick had IS cooperative own
ers who had put up SIS and organized
the Wonder Dog Coon club.
When the club members got to-
gether for their first meeting they
invested in a collar for their dog.
Each one wanted his name on the
plate and there were so many
names it took three plates to accom-
modate them all. 1t was all the
hound could do to keep his head up
under the weight
Club Declares Dividend.
Someone thought the club should
celebrate, so the Wonder Dog Coon
club declared "dividend"
There was still 1918 left in the

a banquet. Attending were the IS

The owners received personal
