 PICAO) said today in an inter view
 The problem has bsen recognized by PICAO in view of the current contraction of military air opera tions. Warner said. There is every reascn to expect that something will be done before demobilization goes too far, but it will have to be done soon
 All members of PICAO commit tees which deal with airports, air ways. traffic control, meteorology and communications have been ask ed to consider the situation in their particular countries and contribute to a roundup of information about what steps must be taken.

NAKED, YELLING
 CROWN PRINCE
 GETS BAPTIZED

LONDON. Oct. 24-Naked and yelling, the infant Crown Prince of Yugoslavia was baptized in Westminster Abbey recently before Kings, Queens, Princesses and Pa triarchs.
 Princess Elizabeth, heir apparent to the British Throne was his God mother and King George VI was his Godfather.
 The three month-old son of King Peter and Queen Alexandra, barred from their Balkan thrones by the displeasure of Marshal Tito, was immersed three times in warm water and he did not like it.
 His lusty cries rang through the ancient cathedral until Princess Elizabeth took him into her arms and quieted him. He slept through most of the Orthodox ceremony in the arms of the Princess, but awakened with a yell when Eliza beth handed him to King George. The monarch, arrayed in an or nate naval uniform. carried him three times around the font be- fore the bearded Patriarch, " H. Gavrilo, annointed the Crown Prince with holy oil
 The child was named Alexander for his grandfather, Alexander I, who was assassinated at Marseille in one of the preludes to the last world war King George, in becom- ing the Godfather, fulfilled a promise made to King Peter when he was best man at the Yugoslav Monarch's wedding.
 Among those in the cathedral were King George of Greece, the Duchess of Kent, Princess Alexan- dra of Greece, and Princess Helen of Serbia.

 STORY REVEALED
 BY TOKYO PAPER

TOKYO, oct 25 = A fantastic story of a Russian secret agent who posed as a German newspapermar while directing spy ring in Japan which reached into the innermost councils of the Imperial palace and the German Embassy was reported today by the newspaper Asahi.
 The secret agent, Richard Gorge was arrested Oct. Is, l941, shortly after he had reported to Moscow that war between Japan and Am erica was inevitable before the end of that year, Asahi said. He even- tually was sentenced to death.
 Gorge the paper related, came to Japan in 1883 on orders of the h. ternational Comintern, although he ostensibly was a special correspond ent of the German newspaper, The Frankfurter zeitung, and staunch supporter of Hitler
 He subsequently, became so highly trusted at the German Embassy he was appointed chief of the Embassy information section, and much of the Axis and Japanese information, as well as Germany's policy toward Japan passed over his desk.
 As a result of Gorge's operations, though sources which were able to reach even into the Emperor's pal ace and report fully the details of conferences with the Emperor, as well as meetings of Japan's military leaders, Japanese secrets at crit- ical time were leaking through el- most completely" Asahi reported.

HANKOW, China, Oct. 25 = A war correspondent portrays how dismal a picture the once flour ishing city of Hankow presents today.
 Once an important transportation center, it's now a heatless wreck without power, short on water, and beset by disease and inflation
 Here the lamps of China flicker low with peanut oil in bomb shattered homes.
 For foreigners there are five movies, three night clubs and Japa- rese beer at $250 a bottle.
 For the poor Chinese, Hooking back to their old homes, imitation has driven prices so high that rice, eggs and meat are almost out of reach.

WHERE ARE YOUR
 CHILDREN TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Scrdid details of the operation oi ss-called "J,ke Joints and the part that these deadfalls play in the de- moralization of tho youth of this country. are exposed in Where Are Your Children?" the dramatic story of child delinquency which comes to the 20th Century tonight with Jackie Cooper in the starring role. ~
 Against the backgrcupnd of vio- lent jitterbugging and wild music, the even wilder youngsters of teen age become the dupes of shady nighi club operators. There is the surrep- titious supplying of illegal liquor the "spiking' of soft drinks, the easy violation of conventions and the inevitable careening ioyride, with intcxication at the wheel and tragedy lurking at the roadside.
 Juvenile probation officers are on duty at the night clubs, but the only solution of the, question, as the film shows, lies in the home. Par ental neglect, improper housing. unhappy conditions at home, all are shown to have an important bearing on. the question of juvenile delinquency, and literally throw the younger generation into the arms of those who are willing to debauch them for a profit.
 In Where Are Your ChildrenP" the joyride in stolen car culmin- ates in charge of murder, with an innocent girl drawn into a situa- tion which threatens not only her future happiness, but her very i3- erty itself
 Gale storm appears in the lead ing feminine role opposite Jackie Cooper, and other important roles are in the hands of Patricia Mofi- son, John Iitsl, Gertrude Michael, Anthony Ward. Evelyn Eaton. Ad- dison Richards, Betty Blythe and Herbert Rawlins.
