UNCLE RAYS CORNER

After driving across the parts OF
Africa known As Tunis, Holmboe
and Tarbox passed into the Italian
colony OF Libya. They reached the
city Of Tripon.
- In Tripoli's market square, some
Arab boys were playing marbles.
One Of them saw the travellers and
dashed forward to ask to carry their
baggage.
The boy II years old, and had
been named Mohammed, in honor
Of the olden prophet who started
the Mohammedan religion. He was
pleased when Holmboe talked to
him An the Arabic language.
After a time Mohammed asked
10 90 on the trip to Egypt. He said
his father was dead. His stepfather
agreed to let the boy make the
Journey.
The automobile was loaded with
food and water, and several extra
cans of gasoline. The route was
charted within easy range of the
coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Desert travellers think of water
more than they think of food. The
trip from Tripoh to Egypt was
planned 20 there could be stops
at oases and wells along the way.
One stopping place was = small
we'll known as Bir Meduma. Though
travellers used the well, there was
no settlement, not even a single
house, beside 1t.

North's pass was perfectly proper.
Of course, since his hand was too
utterly bare for even the most cour-
. tsous Of courtesy" responses, East
Aeould have left his cards unseen on
vthe table and could still have been
pretty sure that the opponents had
no game and that 1t was therefore
mafe to reopen the bidding. That
true in almost all cases where an
pening bid is not kept open, for the
Easser shows bust" and the bid
der cannot have game in his own
hand since he did not make q two

But it isn't enough merely to re-
open the bidding in the hope Of
getting . part-score Of ones own
or, perhaps, q hard-earned game.
OF all reopening bids, the double is
the least binding and the mos likely
TO be profitable.
In today's hand, for example,
East's double was takeout double
but 1t gave West the chance to
pass for penalties. Had East re-
opened the bidding with one dia-
nond, South would have passed and
would have been out of his yuisery.

Rumonio and Hungary
Aqree on Press Truce

BUCHAREST, July is R.-Ru-
mania and Hungary yesterday
agreed to three-day press armi-
stice" as prelude to negotiations
toward better relations, reliable in.
3ormants said.
During the "armistice" newspa-
pers of both countries will withhold
the editorial fire they have been
leveling at each other over Hun
gary's demands for war-lost Tran
sylvania.
Another indication of Rumanian-
Hungarian rapprochement was the
announcement by Count Miklos
Banssy, president of the Magyar
party in Transylvania, of an agree
ment with the Rumanian govern
ment for the entry of Magyars into
King Carols new Nazified Party Of
the Nation.
Both steps were regarded as tenn
porary reconciliation moves pro-
NOTED by Germany to keep the
peace in Southeast Europe.
The closely censored Rumanian
press yesterday praised the German
Army in a manner interpreted as
paving the way for German re-
organization of the Rumanian
Army. This action followed con-
ferences by the German air and
military attaches with King Carol.
Diplomatic circles pointed out the
Rumanian Army provides buffer
against any Soviet move against
vital Rumanian oil holdings, now
within easy reach of Russian-oc-
cupied Bessarabia.

| Pilot Is Cited
For Bravery
BY the Associat Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, July 15.-A shy woman
pilot Of the French air force, who
was captured by the Germans In
the last month of the war, then
escaped and rejoined her squadron
before the armistice, was awarded
the War Cross of France last night
with'a special citation for bravery.
She is Claire Roman, civilian
pilot since 1882 and veteran of over
seas flights to the French East In
dies and French Morocco.
She was accepted as a full
fledged French war pilot in May
when women were admitted for
auxiliary flying service.
In June, while French armies
were crushed slowly back from the
north, she was sent on a flying mis-
sion to Rennes. AS she stepped
from her plane she was captured
by German soldiers who had seized
the airport. The Germans took her
to Pontivy.
There she broke away from her
captors, found a bicycle and rode
Is miles to q French military air
field at st. Nazaire, where she
warned that the German were on
the way. The commandant gave

Turkish Press Urges
Satisfaction Of

Paper Fuvors Settlement
Without Appeal to

~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL, July 15.-Settlement
Of Bulgaria's natural and legiti-
mate" territorial claims on her
neighbors Is necessary for lasting
peace to the Balkans, the Turkish
newspaper Tasviri Efkar declared
today in an apparently inspired
article.
The paper warned. however, that
the settlement should be brought
about by the Balkan nations them
selves without appealing to any for
eign powers-such as Germany or
Soviet Russia.
If Bulgaria appeals to q foreign
power to achieve this end" the
article said, "the result will be a new
Versailles treaty-that is to say that
wrongs will be done other Balkan
countries in satisfying Bulgaria"
Foreign observers interpreted the
article in effect as a suggestion for
Rumania to cede Dobruja, Greece to
cede an outlet to the Aegean Sea,
and Yugoslavia to give up certain
frontier territories to Bulgaria.
These observers saw in Turkeys
desire for settlement of Bulgarian
claims anxiety lest the disturbed
situation open the way for Russian
march against the Dardanelles,
strategic gateway to the Black Sea.
Recent reassurances from Moscow
have served to allay Turkeys fears
somewhat-but it was noted that
these reassurances were given only
after Adolf Hitler was reported to
have told Hungary to defer demands
for immediate return of the Ruman-
tan province of Transylvania,

 Italian warplanes, in three waves, attacked the port city of Patras. four meeting death and IT wounded.
 Britain Rushing Aid
 Great Britain, having pledged aid to Greece in the event of attack, is reported rushing assistance with her powerful Mediterranean fleet.
 It Is believed a maJOr sea Dattle between British and Italian fleets is imminent.
 Fears are widespread that the Italian invasion may precipitate general conflagration in Southeast Europe.
 In Belgrade, political circles heard unconfirmed reports that Turkey has declared war on Italy, but this rumor was discounted by other quar- ters as premature.

Rumors are rife in Balkan capitals that Russia is preparing to take over the Dardanelles to 'protectively" safeguard that strategic passage be- tween the Black Sea and the Medi- terranean from any Axis grab.
 Belgrade heard reports that Ger many will remain aloof in the con- flict for the time being" but it is recalled that German troops were last week reported arriving in AL bania.
 A synchronized Italian naval att tack reportedly struck at the Greek Island of Corfu while skirted Greek soldiers stubbornly opposed the on- rush of Italian forces on land.
 Athens and other Greek cities apparently lay at the mercy of Ital- ian bombrs since Greece is reported to have only 125 planes.

Pilot Alex Holden and Three TuIsequah Miners
 Squash in DoWndraft
VETERAN FLYER SETS
 DOWN SHIP "GENTlY"
Bruised Arm and Bumped Nose Extent of Injur-
 ies to Quartet

Lady Luck must have "shot the works today for the benefit of vet eran flier Alex Holden and three Polaris-Taku miners who crashed in the trees near the Douglas Highway this forenoon with the Alaska Air Transports baby Fairchild, climbed out of the tree-suspended wreckage and walked away without a scratch.
 Holden and his passengers, Fred Johnson, 51, Herman Bennett, 36, and Michael Tomco, 38, all of Van couver, B. C., had taken off a few minutes earlier for the flight to Tulsequah. They had made two circles of the harbor, gaining alti- tude, when the plane was caught in a downdraft.
 Passengers said Holden had the engine on full throttle with the nose in the air, but the downdraft forced them steadily earthward, and just before reaching the trees, Holden "cut the switch.'
 Holden said they dropped about 150 feet" to their landing in dense second growth hemlock and spruce about 300 yards off the Douglas Highway just north of the Lawson Creek bridge.
 Passenger Herman Bennett, whose hair wasn't even disarranged by the crash, said. There wasn't any real crash. In fact, I hardly felt it when we went into the trees"
 For passengers Johnson and Tom co, it was their first airplane flight. Johnson bumped his nose. and Tom co has a bruise on his right arm.
 Both wings were torn from the plane, and damage to the ship is considerable. although the fuselage is intact and the pontoons appar- ently suffered little. No glass was so much as cracked, and the delicate radio set in the plane was still in working order when throngs of Jlt- neauites climbed the trail to the wreck a few minutes after the acci- dent
 The ship is suspended about ten feet off the ground with the nose higher than the tail. It apparently squashed perfectly on it's belly.
 Black Cat Blamed
 The miners who experienced the crash blamed the accident on black cat that followed them to the hangar.
 '"The darn thing followed right at our heels," one said, and when we turned around and went the other way, he turned right around with us.'
 But for their miraculous escape without injury, miner Bennett sum- med the opinion shared by his miner partners when he declared, This fellow Holden is certainly flier."
 Holden is one of the veteran pilots of the North. The wrecked plane was new ship, purchased from the factory only this last spring.
 Federal prisoners now working on a Glacier Highway project, will be taken to the scene of the crash to clear out enough trees to enable mechanics to properly dismantle and salvage the Fairchild.

PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., Oct 28.-Half dressed and shivering from exposure, 279 passengers off the liner Alaska, landed safely here late Sunday after the big Seattle bound ship crashed on the rocky shore of Elliott Island shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday morning.
 The passengers state the Alaska struck while going full speed in pitch blackness and showed her bow almost into the trees firing ing the rocky island shore.
 Ship Lists
 The ship immediately listed 20 degrees to port and Capt. o. c. Anderson ordered the passengers ashore for fear the vessel might slide into deep water.
 Her hull is believed to be badly punctured.
 Oil Spreads on Water
 Tumbling from their hunks or rushing from the salon, the pas sengers jumped for the lifeboats, while oil from the Alaska's fuel tanks spread over the water. Sev- eral passengers fell into the icy water and most of them were smeared with oil but no one was seriously injured.
 Rescue at Hand
 The steamer North Coast, an- swering the Alaskas sos, arrived at the scene five hours later and the passengers. who had been sit ting around camp fires on the beach, singing through the night, were rowed out 300 yards to the rescue vessel.
 The North Coast, crowded with 123 passengers and no accommoda- tions, the victims were left here Sunday night and the North Coast sailed south for Seattle.
 Yukon to Rescue
 The steamer Yukon, northbound, it was understood, would call here and pick up the stranded passen- gers and their personal effects and take them to Ketchikan.
 Meanwhile, unable to find beds, the shipwrecked passengers slept last night huddled in hotel lob pies, on stairways and on floors Scores of shipwrecked passengers lacked proper clothing.
 Purser Dave Doran and five other crewmen came here aboard the North Coast to attend to the wants of the passengers.
