U. S. Seaman Reported Seized
Hiking Across Italy to Reich

British freiehter Bristol City
which has been operating be-
tween the United States and
European ports)
Two carabinieri found the man on
a highway near Udine yesterday
afternoon. the newspaper said. 1t
quoted them as saying he told this
story:
He went to England last February
and embarked as stoker on the
Bristol when she left Southampton
for Port Said, Egypt. When an
Italian submarine torpedoed the
ship he and three other crewmen
escaped and reached shore near
Taranto. He had been making his
way by night to Germany, hopeful
of finding work there, and had
crossed Italy to Rome, Florence,
Bologna and Venice.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, June 19.-Police at Udine
were reported by the Newspaper II
Giornale DTtalia today to be hold
ing a man who identified himself as
Louis Bergery, 27, of Detroit, a
stoker shipwrecked from the tor
pedoed merchant ship Bristol.
Mr.. Bergery, the dispatch said,
told police he had been hiking at
night in an attempt to reach Ger
many after landing near Taranto.
He almost had succeeded. Taranto
is on the heel of the Italian boot
in the far south and Udine is close
to the three-nation border of Italy,
Germany and Yugoslavia in North
easternmost Italy.
Gloyd's register of merchant
ships lists no vessel named the
Bristol, but there is a 2,864-ton

Donouan's Proposed Trip
Through Syria Blocked

ISTANBUL, Turkey. Feb. 6.-Rl
Colonel William ]. Donovan, the
American observer who is travel
ing extensively in Southeastern Eu-
rope and the Near East, has been
prevented from travelling through
Syria by express orders of tn e
French government at Vichy, a re-
liable informant said today.
(The eventual position of the IN
tested French army i'll Syria, like
that in North and West Africa, is
nebulous, but both General Max
ime Weygand in Africa and Gen
eral Henri Dentz in Syria have
called upon soldiers and civilians
to obey Chief of State Petain at
Vichy, rather than be sWayed by
Free French appeals from Lon
don. Syria might become a battle
ground if Germany should try to
strike at the Suez Canal through
Southeastern Europe and the Le-
Vant.)

Cheren, an important communi-

in the house tomorrow. and then
will be sent to the senate. 1t re-
uuires state employees, including
all school teachers. to pay four per
cent of their salaries to a pension
fund. Employees are retired, with
pensions, when they reach the age
of 60.
AS amended in the house today.
on motion of Representative Stone
Of Rockingham, the bill would give
''years-of-service" credits to 7o2
persons now employed by the high
way department, for work which
they did for counties prior to 1881,
when the road system was taken
over by the state.
Three representatives Pearsall
of Nash, Allsbrook of Halifax and
LeGrand of New Hanover-indica-
ted that they objected to a sec
ton of the bill which would re-
quire local units, in certain in
stances, to pay funds for the re-
tirement program. Some units sup
plement state salaries to school
teachers with local funds, and such
units would have to pay the retire
ment fund an amount sufficient to
make a pension commensurate
with the supplement.
Allsbrook said he might propose
an amendment tomorrow to elimi-
nate this feature of the bill.
Lengthy debate on the retire
ment measure prevented the house
from taking up a bill to reappor-
ton it's own membership, which
was a special order of business for
the day. The reapportionment
question probably will be consid-
cred tomorrow.
Among the outstanding commit
tee actions of the day was the re-
lection of a bill to lengthen the
state-supported school term to nine
months. The present term is eight
months. 4

Godoy Is Giuen Until
March 10 to Appear

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-R-Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs today gave
Arturo Godoy, Chilean heavy
weight, until March 10 to appear
in this country or forfeit his chance
of meeting champion Joe Louis in
Los Angeles, April Is.
Since the fight was arranged
several weeks ago no direct word
has been received from Godoy.
Even his manager, AL We'll, is
wondering what has happened to
his fighter.
Jacobs said a singed contract is
on file with the California boxing
commission and that if Godoy re.
fuses to honor it, he will request
the commission to suspend the
Chilean.
Last week, Jacobs said he might
consider Bob Pastor as a substitute
if Godoy failed to put in his ap'
pearance.
