The U. s. Coast Guard amphib ian plane attached to the Cutter Spencer. Commander Zeusler, al rived Nome last evening at 030 pm piloted by Lieut. Wm. H Snyder, and carrying Frank Dau gherty, of St. Lawrence Island who was suffering from an acute attack of appendicitis.
 Daugherty was immediately taken to the Maynard Columbus Hospital Where Dr. Thomas Mor- com performed the operation. This morning he was reported as resting easily with danger past.
 With Lieut.. Snyder was radio man Robert L. Walker, who main tained tWo-way radio communi- cation with the Spencer and the patrol boat Atalanta.
 Lieut.. Snyder in describing the flight, which is the first emer- gency flight made by the coast guard planes in this vicinity, de clared that the rough seas at Gambeli, where Daugherty was living. very nearly prevented the take-off. Late yesterday after noon after waiting most of the day, the seas subsided sufficient ly to permit the plane to take off. They left Gambell at 6:55 pm and arrived Nome at 8:30 pm Radio signals from the patrol boat Atalanba were used as com pass bearings, and the plane Init" Nome right in the nose" Lieut.. Snyder reported some fog conditions enroute over the 175 mile course, but said they did not hinder the flight.
 Since the inauguration some years ago of the Air Force of the U. s. Coast Guard, many lives have been saved by the speedy and efficient planes and person nel. Pilot Snyder, who received his training at the Pensacola, Florida station, modestly declar- ed:
 T have been pleased to have had the opportunity of assisting in the saving of MT. Daugherty's life, and trust that should any other emergency arise in the fu- ture, we will have like sue cess"

Germany, Russia Non-Aggress. Pact

UNDATED, Aug. 2l (49-Ger- many upset the delicate balance of central Europe with the an- nouncement of her non4aggreS- sion pact with Russia which was confirmed by "Tass," Russian news agency. The announcement apparently meant that Russia will be neutral in any Polish war and apparently ruined the French and British plans for en circlement and also threatened the anti-communist pact between Italy and Japan.
 Germany threatened the peace of various small nations in the Balkans which saw themselves caught in giant Nazi-Soviet nutcracker. Poland's position is greatly hazarded and some sourc es said they might as well give Germany what 1t askS-the Dan zig Corridor, to avoid ruination.
 MOSCOW, Aug. 23 (P)-Thurs- day Germany and Soviet Russia signed a non-aggression pact binding each of them for ten year not to associate themselv- es with any other grouping of power which directly or indirect ly is aimed at the other party
 By the pact it is also agreed that they constantly remain ir consultation with one another on common interests to adjust their differences by arbitration The n-aggression clauses bind each power to refrain from any act of force against each other and remain neutral if either is al tackled by third power.

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah, Aug. g (P,-John Cobb, London fur broker, drove his red turtle-shaped automobile through measured mile at 369.23 miles an hour, the fastest man has ever travelled on land and averaged six miles a minute.
 Cobb postponed till tomorrow his complete assault on Captain George Eyston's 357.5 miles an hour mark. However, when the motors stalled on the necessary return trip over the course he shifted to second at 125 miles an hour and into high at 240 miles an hour.

mander Zeusler was anchored at Savoonga, when the report came that MT Daugherty was in crit ical condition. The ship sailed over to Gambell and remained there during the day, while Dr. SturteVant made the examination recommending immediate trans portation to Nome.
 A similar mercy" flight was made by Pilot Hans MiroW of the Mirow Air Service last winter, when Mrs. Daugherty was also stricken with acute appendicitis. The patient was flown from St. Lawrence Island 10 the Nome hos pital where an emergency opera ton was performed by Dr. Nor com, saving her life. She was re turned to the Island by Pilot Jack Jefford of the same com pany. Much confidence is express ed in the early recovering of her husband
 What more argument is want ed for the establishing of an aerial base for the U. s. Coast Guard at Nome? Nome and this section of Alaska should have the protection of such equip ment and personnel to assist in the emergencies which arise at the time spent in the North.

 His resignation also removed his cabinet from office.
