Terrific Impact Throws Pilot Clear of Flam-
 ing Wre1kage TRAGEDY STRIKES
 NEAR FARGO BASE Captain Suffers Only Shock All Others Trapped
 in Debris

MOOREHEAD. Minn.. Oct. 30.- Trapped by fog and mist. a North west Airlines plane crashed this morning within two miles of its objective.
 Fourteen persons died in the im- pact and flames which immediately engulfed the wreckage.
 The only survivor is Capt. Clar- ence Bates, of Minneapolis, pilot, who was thrown clear as the big liner struck the earth d glancing5 blow and bounced 100 yards, then piled up.
 Bates suffered only shock but physicians would permit no one to talk to him.
 Last Heard From
 The St. Paul airlines dispatcher said he last heard from the plane, westbound from Chicago to Seattle, at :54 o'clock this morning, Central Standard Time. The plane then was over the Fargo (N. D. airport and descending at 2,700 feet altitude to make routine instrument approach to the field.
 Ground weather at the time was described as thick and freezing" The pilot next should have reported when he sighted land, but the dis patcher was still trying vainly to contact the ship at 2 o'clock. Ten minutes later police telephoned that the plane crashed about two miles from the Fargo airport.
 Mystery in Escape
 How Bates got out alive from the blazing inferno mystified inves- tigators at first.
 It was noticed by airline and Civil Aeronautics Authority inspect ors that thick coating of ice had formed along one edge of one wing. This presumably was formed in the air and not by water poured on by firemen who rushed to the scene.

WASHINGTON ironic twist of fate makes it likely that when the Nazis sank the U s. owned Lehigh, they bit the hand which had fed them-via Spain. The Le- high had just unloaded cargo at Bilboa, Spain.
 It may be officially denied, but there is excellent intelligence evil dence that large proportion of the oil. grain and other important raw materials landed at Bilbao are ship ped immediately to Germany.
 NOTE: The State Department, despite inner Cabinet opposition, has insisted on sending certain amount of supplies to Spain contending this was the only way to keep the Franco Fascist government from going over to Hitler Other Cabinet officers have maintained Franco was already with Hitler and that these supplies were merely circumventing the Brit ish blockade.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Behind the major efforts of national de- fense. which got most of the pub- licity, is minor one which al- most invariably causes a roar of layman laughter and d disgusting snort about What the heck are those guys in Washington up to anyway?' It's the construction of concrete ships to relieve the ship ping shortage.
 The. United States Maritime Commission now has bids on hand for 100 such ships and before you join the "snorters," let me present the case for concrete ships.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 = The capture of a German weather" ship by the U. s. Navy in Green land waters adds another chapter to an amazing epic of modern sea warfare that began in l930-ten years before the war began in Eu- rope.
 It's the German scheme to base raider fleets of air, sea. and under sea craft on Arctic and Antarctic lands, and British and American efforts to prevent the strategy from bearing fruit.
 In that, the worlds two big navies have been largely success ful-but not entirely so. There is much evidence to indicate the Germans have large caches of fuel and food in the polar regions. Some of them were planted prob ably 10 years ago. And they prob ably have radio stations there, too.
 The Arctic is vast hiding place in both winter and summer. Storms rage and fog is frequent. Fjords can hide the largest ships in the world, unless chance voyage leads another vessel to the spot.
 Naval and weather observers began to suspect German inten- tions in 1880 when the Weggener scientific expedition left north German port for Greenland.
 Later on, German. scientific ex- petitions visited many areas in both the Arctic and Antarctic. What they were doing is not en- tirely clear, but it is probable they spotted fuel and food gener- ously in safe spots. They also made plans to tap the rich coal deposits of Spitzbergen, the Arc tic island off Norway. They had their eyes on a big Norwegian whaler repair base on Deception Island in the Antarctic, too And the recent Byrd expedition for the United States government report ed German and Japanese "investi- gative" expeditions were both pres ent in that region.

no need to go into any great de- bate on it.
 In the first place, the 100 ships now proposed are oil tankers or barges- without motors. But they are ships, nevertheless. A floating freighter of 5000 to 5000 tons, be- tween 300 and 400 feet long, with a 4O-odd foot beam is no rowboat, even if it does have to have tug or so alongside to get it places.
 An official of one shipbuilding firm (the Newport Concrete Ship building Company who built con- crete ships in the World War claims these barges will cost only about half what steel ones would. He also told me he had put into his bid an agreement to deliver

Ruth Millett Doesn't Envy
 Alice Marble Her New Job
WE, THE WOMEN

1t gets there, and considers any meeting a waste of time if there isn't pie with whipped cream.
 These women bulge in their ex- pensive dresses, altered until they are far from their original shape, and talk about how they must re- duce. So 1t might seem that they would be eager to join this new walking movement and lose some of the pounds they profess to be SO worried about.
 JUST ONE LITTLE
 PIECE OF CAKE
 But they won't be. They want to lose by magical nine-day diets to which they are willing to stick for maybe three ways. with only mini- mum of ice-box snitching. And they want their reducing efforts to make good conversation. Walking is far too simple to fill that bill. Besides, 1t would be actual work for them.
 So Miss Marble will have her hands full when she attempts to persuade the clubwomen of the country that they should walk and 90 in for other forms of physical exercise in the name of national de- fense
 Knitting for Britain with e box of chocolates within easy reach was fun. But asking them to walk Is little bit too much, even in the name of national defense.

At other tables South passed, West opened with one diamond and North overcalled with one spade. The final contract was usually no trumps or diamonds by West.
 The part-score contracts by North South were mostly made and those by East-West were mostly not made. The match point results thus seemed to depend largely on which side opened the bidding.
 Only one North-South pair bid four hearts and this game was made easily. The question asked by every one was, how can you get that high? Or is our bidding practice faulty fl 1t cannot find this ''laid down" game9
 Tn my opinion you should not get to game. This is merely . lucky hand in the play. Four hearts Is impossible # west holds the quen of clubs. Even with the good club break. # East holds the ace of spades the contract will prob ably be defeated.
