Artist Makes Needle Thread
Portrait of Duke and Duchess
Miss Chicken Plans
To Fly to Bahamas
To Present Work

Elizabeth Marine Chaiken, Rus
sian-born artist who has made a
hobby of portraying the worlds
great through the medium of a
needle and colored bits of silk
thread, will fly to the Bahamas this
week end, where she will present q
recently finished portrait to the
Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Born in Moscow. Miss Chaiken
came to America when she was
very young. However, her study of
art led her back to Europe, where
she decided that it would be nicer
to substitute bits of colored silk
thread for the conventional Oil pig
ments of the painter.
Miss Chaiken says she has never
commercialized her needle work.
She earns her living as a model
and designer for a New York fash
ion firm.
Did Portrait of Lincoln.
Miss Chaiken once did a portrait
of Eugene v. Debs, which now
hangs in Memorial Hall, New York
City, and her thread portrait of
Abraham Lincoln is exhibited in
the Cathedral of Learning in Pitts
burgh. She also has done portraits
OF Charles Boyer, Bette Davis, Ruby
Keeler and Rudolf Valentino.
The White House, too. contains
samples of her artistry. In 1884, she
presented portrait to President
Roosevelt, and picture of the May
flower, a full-rigged ship, to Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Beginning her series Of portraits
OF the English royal family, Miss
Chaiken first completed the portrait
of the Duke and Duchess of Kent

on tables. The seamen bedded in
hunks and slept most of the next
two days.
Although there was little left of
the ship, the men managed to get up
steam, but then found they were
unable to start the engines. The
bulkheads were leaking so the men
feared that the wreck soon would
sink, and they decided on their
farewell party.
I'VE roasted chicken, cooked vege-
tables and potatoes and had plenty
to drink" Mullins said.
But the wreck held together, and
the men passed two more days

Then they sighted lights and
signaled for help.

ION the fifth day we sighted a

Gradually the lifeboat drifted to-

been signaling, and finally they saw
it was only floating stern left
from a ship apparently cut in two
by enemy action.
The sea was too heavy to attempt
to board the half ship and the hulk
and lfeboat drifted apart. Hungry
and exhausted, the men spent two
more days in the lifeboat and then
again saw and signaled what they
thought was passing ship.
But 1t was only the hulk again.
Mullins related. 1--WE pulled along

PRETORIA, Union of South
Africa. Nov. 16.-Sydney Robey
Leibrandt, one-time South At
rican Olympic boxer, who served
in Germany's parachute corps
before being put ashore from a
submarine as a saboteur, went on
trial in South Africa today on a
treason charge.
Five others went on trial with
him.
The story of crown witnesses,
which was to be told the Pretoria
General Sessions Court, was this:
Like the spies who later landed on
Long Island, N. Y, Leibrandt came
ashore on the desolate Diamond
Coast of Namaqualand northwest of
the Cape, with 10000 American dol
lars and radio equipment.
The time of his arrival was not
disclosed, but the 3O-year-old heavy
weight, who wears a moustache like
Hitler's, told friends he would have
been in the Crete campaign if a
submarine had not picked him up to
be taken to remote Hondeklip Bay.
After tramping across a sun
scorched African plain for three
days, Liebrandt got lift into Cape
town and set out for the interior,
organizing units of national So

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Thirteen tor
pedoed British merchant seamen
who escaped from a swamped life
boat to derelict half-ship in mid
Atlantic and there held farewell
to life" party with abandoned stores
OF chicken and liquor, lived to tell
the tale.
British naval sources disclosed
the story over the week end. They
said that when hope of rescue had
faded and the half -ship-which
might well have been christened
S. S. Stern, for that was all it was
seemed in danger of sinking, the
men held their party to the tunes
OF q portable phonograph.
The party was good, all right-but
premature. For passing ship

chairman was torpedoed, told the

inces as he went.
He told the "rebels," who signed
an oath of allegiance in blood, that
he had been sent by Hitler to save
the Afrikanders from the British.
A trail of sabotage and terrorism
followed him. An armed raid was
made on an ammunition magazine.
Dynamite was stolen. A homemade
bomb, placed on a railroad, exploded
prematurely, killing two of Lei
brandt's accomplices. Another as
sociate was shot by police in the
Northern Transvaal.
Leibrandt made his way to a
hideout atop a lonely mountain in
the zoutpansberg range, where he
lived in a grass hut and attempted
to get radio messages through to
Germany. Police finally trapped
him the day before Christmas, 1941,
by taking an automobile accident
that forced his Car to stop.

LONDON. Nov. Church bells
OF England, which rang in 1853 at
the accession Of Queen Elizabeth,
at the defeat Of the Spanish armada,
and at the death OF Nelson at,
Trafalgar, pealed out again yester-
day to celebrate the victory Of Brit
ish arms in Egypt.
For the first time since the war
began, church bells In the British
Isles, land famed through centuries
for the sober Sabbath music Of bells
and chimes, broke the crisp morn
ing air. - -
British youngsters who have
never heard the sound Of church
bells-for their ringing has been
reserved during this war as the
signal for invasion, heard the chimes
Of Westminster Abbey, the meas
ured tones of st. Paul's bell and
the voice Of st. Martin's-in- the
Field, and In Scotland the notes Of
old st. Cuthbert's, in the shadow of
the great rock Of Edinburgh Castle.
SaOD4th OF Rejoicing.
It was q sedate Sabbath Of re-
joicing and Thanksgiving during
which people crowded into the
smallest village parish churches and
into the great cathedrals.
No sound came from the fire.
Redeemed remnants of st. Clements
in the Strand, nor from the slender
tapered spires Of st. Brides in Fleet
street, or from Sir Christopher
Wren's masterpiece, the now shat

London's Piccadilly.
Bow bells, in sound OF which any
Londoner must be born to be con-
sidered a true cockney, crashed to
earth in the fire blitz Of 1941.
st. Paulis bells were heard despite
difficulties. The full peal could not
be rung because of fear OF further
cracking Of the tower, already
shaky from a bomb hit.

Three Aussie Soldiers Safe
After 26?-Day Trek

BY the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, Nov. lS.-71nree Aus
tralian soldiers have arrived at an
Allied base in New Guinea after a
2,800-mile, 267-day jungle and SAIL
boat journey that began when the
Japanese captured Rabaul, New
Britain, last January, the Sydney
Morning Herald reported today.
The three were perfectly f1t," the
dispatch said. A companion died
of fever on the journey.
The long trek started at Rabaul
when they escaped from Japanese,
who subsequently massacred other
Australians.
Their first break was to reach
a rich plantation where they found
abundant food and a 15-foot boat.
Though inexperienced in naviga-
ton they set out for Australia, but
were driven back by storms. Dur
ing the next effort their companion
died Of fever and they put back
again to New Britain to bury him.
Natives told them United Nations
soldiers were still being evacuated
on the north side Of the island. They
crossed the island and arrived five
days after the last evacuation ship
had departed.
Later a small naval pinnace ar
rived, SO the party voyaged along
the coast, escaping a japanese naval
patrol in rain squall.
For two months they took refuge
on an island hoping to pick up q
passing transport.
Then they decided to try for New
Guinea, patched up the damaged
pinnace and started to slip from
island to island, living for many
weeks on turtles, pigeons and BUSH
fowl eggs. Eventually they reached
New Guinea on its north coast.
From there they crossed toward
Papua, dodging q Jap force at Wau
and coming on strange tribes In the
mountains.
Eventually they reached q swirling
river flowing southwark, made .
raft and reached the coast 26O miles
from the Allied base.

Miss Fanny Perkins i.

There is one lady in the national CAPITA
who has taken a beating from everybody in
the land. She is to be pitied or admired
rather than censured. We refer to Miss
Frances Perkins, first woman member of
any presidents cabinet.
Loud and insistent demands for Miss Per-
kins' resignation have been heard for two
years now What the public doesn't seem
to realize is the fact that Miss Perkins, be-
ing an intelligent woman who reads the
newspapers, knows she is unpopular and
has resigned not once but many times.
She continues in her post, admittedly the
weakest member of a weak cabinet, because
her beloved chief wants her to stay there. So
while she has been ridiculed and held up to
be a complete moron here in the south we
can expect Miss Perkins to stay in the cabi-
net until the President himself gives her the
green light to go.
Presidents cabinet we will continue to have
a weak secretary of labor and thus a weak
labor policy.
The time is fast approaching when the
country will rise up in all its might and
demand a strong labor policy. TIL President
will be compelled to clamp down on labor.
Then we can expect Miss Perkins to leave
her chief whose friendship she has earned
and enjoyed for many years. She will re-
main loyal to him to the end of her days and
no amount of public indignation will move
her.

sinking of the Titanic. That was in
1912 when he was on the old New

first. mainly because of the unique
