British View Treaty
As Attempt 10 Divert
Help From u. 5.
Axis Alliance Held Most
Momentous Development
Since Nozi-Soviet Pact
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED freSS.
LONDON, Sept. 27.-The signing
of the German-Italian Japanese
military alliance today was regarded
in diplomatic circles here as the
most momentous diplomatic devel-
opment the world has seen since
Germany and Russia announced
their n-aggression pact few days
before the war began.
Diplomats declared it was intend
ed primarily to divert United States
attention from Europe and to limit
American help to Britain.
Informed sources. in comment on
the new Rome-Berlin-To Toxic pact,
declared that one clause apparently
was designed as intimidation for the
United States.
1T is difficult to resist the conclu-
sion that Japan has been hurried
into an arrangement which can
bring her no assistance, but only the
embarrassment of undertakings
she'll have to carry alone" they said.
CLAUSE 3 of the agreement ap-
pears to be designed to intimidate
the United States and it is difncult
to see to what other power 1t could
possibly refer"
These quarters said that the
agreement appears to be designed
to have maximum propaganda" If
not material value for Germany and
Italy, but its utility to Japan ap-
pears extremely doubtful"
These sources said Germany and
Italy now were putting forward their
maximum efforts against the Brit
ish Empire and it was difficult to
see what they can contribute In raw
materials or other assistance as part
of the cooperation with Japan"
1t appeared to them that Japan
is expected to contribute much in
return for high-sounding promises
and aspirations.

circulation at least partially going"
The Air Ministry's story Of the
rescue follows:
"A Sunderland flying boat of the
coastal command yesterday WED
nesday) found 46 survivors. including
children, drifting in an open boat
600 miles from land.
They were picked up by a warship
and are expected to land in a British
port tonight. This statement was
issued before the survivors landed in
EnglandD
The survivors had been adrift
since their ship was torpedoed in
mid-Atlantic on September II while
taking British children to Canada
under the sea evacuation scheme.
Two Sunderlands. one belonging
to the Royal Australian Air Force,
shared in the rescue.
The Australian Sunderland had
just been relieved from convoy escort
when it found the lifeboat.
The captain flew to the convoy
and asked the captain of a Royal
Air Force Sunderland. which had
been taken over from him, to see to
the rescue of the survivors.
BY Adds lamp signals he gave
their exact positions.
Second Sunderland Takes Over.
THE second Sunderland took over
the rescue. The captain said: The
the convoy sent up a message just
before going off patrol. The captain
said he had sighted a boat. He
could not stay because his petrol
was running low. We went straight
to the place he indicated and found
the boat at once.
"'All the people in the boat were
sitting or lying down except one
man. who was at the tiller.
Some amidships seemed to be
in a rather bad way They had
hoisted sail and were making what
speed they could.
When We got there We dropped
a parachute bag filled with all the
food we had on board. We attached
life jacket to keep it af1oat.
I'VE circled round and made
them a signal that We were going
to get help, but they had only
semaphore which we were travelling
too fast to read.
Went to Guide Ship.
However, we made them I'M
derstand that We were going to
fetch ship which We thought
about 40 miles away.
Before leaving them I went
down very low in the water and saw
that it would be impossible to land
and take them aboard if they could
not be rescued otherwise.
Then we went to fetch a ship.
We found Warship and signaled
that there was boat full of people
and indicated their position.
"I said we would meet the war
ship near the lifeboat.
I'VE flew back to the boat and
then to the warship again, but she
was not on the right course so I
signaled Follow me- and then flew
directly over the ship toward the
lifeboat.
The warship altered course and
followed
When I was getting near the
lifeboat I dropped a smoke flare
which the warship saw and sig
nailed 20. K"
1--WE waited until we saw the
warship actually stop.
Then, as we had received a sig
nal telling us to return to base be-
fore dusk, we left.

NAL HALLETT AT
 HAMILTON PARK
Dance Season Formally Opens Sunday Evening;
 Barnet Coming Later

Charley Barnet, famous saxophon- lst-band leader, who was scheduled to feature the fall re-opening of the Hamilton Park pavilion this Sunday night will be unable to appear be- cause his union membership has been suspended. The Barnet orches- tra, current at the Fiesta Dance teria on Broadway, has been com pelled to cancel more than half a dozen New England bookings because of the liam" which the handsome maestro finds himself in at present.
 The trouble arose it Is reported when Barnet endeavored to Sjurnp" his contract with Consolidated Radio Artists, Inc, one of the major metropolitan booking agen- cies. Although Barnet's card has been taken away from him until the difficulty has been ironed out the orchestra will continue at the Fiesta. However, Hamilton Park along with other New England bathrooms which had booked Bar net for their fall openings, refused to take the band without the famous leader.
 AS soon as the management of Hamilton Park received notifica- tion of the trouble, the ever popu- lar favorite, Nal Hallett and his great entertaining band were booked as the opening attraction for Sunday night. Three weeks ago, the Hallett band played te more than 2,000 dancers at the Pleasure Beach, Bridgeport.
 The Hamilton Park pavilion ha! undergone complete repairing ant alterating during the summer months and will be in readiness fol the gala fall re-opening Sunday night at 8:30 o'clock.
